Correct on all counts. For an example of counter-drone drone tech being developed already, Leonidas POD has a system wherein an interceptor drone flies up to an intruder drone with a small mobile microwave emitter under it and fries them. They also have a large (presumably AESA based) towed...

One that's most likely shared by The Blob (foreign policy establishment thinkers in Washington, D.C.) given their dithering for months on sending HIMARS and even holding back a fucking dual use helicopter for fear it could be "used to strike the territory of a Great Power!" I've seen Think...

Anything that threatens the nuclear deterrent capability will make a nation-state very nervous for the obvious reason that the nuclear deterrent is a state's ultimate guarantee against existential destruction. (Note the recent tiff between Belgium and the UK over Belgium blocking the export of...

Maybe the reliability rate could be excused, somewhat. Very few weapons systems of that range and complexity have been in service as long, or have gone through as many iterations, as the Tomahawk missile. And even they have an occasional failure in flight. The accuracy issues are inexcusable...

Latest count from the absolute clusterfuck of a river crossing is now at 91 confirmed, upwards of 150+ likely destroyed if the two/three company bridgehead force that managed to cross, was cut off by the crossing and destroyed in detail by hard-fought counterattacks is counted (see also quoted...

Please note this video showing a BMP-3 with markings from the 102nd Motorized Rifle Regiment paired with T-80BVs - which aren't operated by any formation of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army. That strongly suggests composite units are in use - i.e. battle-damaged units being merged to make up...

The corpses. EDIT: Serious answer. Given the Ukrainians just demonstrated how the island is Hell's waiting room for anyone without serious air defenses and they lack the ability to land said air defenses (SA-11, SA-15 or better) on the island themselves, it is now simply denied territory...

In a war that's been defined by indirect long-range fires spotted by ubiquitous aerial drone surveiliance, the man with a 100 foot elevation advantage is KING! MI-8, you say? ZOOM AND ENHANCE! Wow, isn't that funny. The tail rotor is clearly on the left side. Hmm. Almost like it isn't an...

Double posting because fuck it, y'all have to see this shit. If a mod cares to merge the posts please do. “Boris, my son, you must choose. Will you properly camouflage your vehicle using natural cover and camo nets in the dense local forest, and dig some shallow fighting positions with...

Update. Didn't even have time to do the materiel or strategic portions, just cranked out a Maneuver/Operational update. The combined conclusion is that Russia's territorial gains in Donbas are not worth the price they're paying for them. I've literally lost count of how many Ukrainian videos...

Sometimes the worst people remind you why freedom of speech and anonymity is good - because without it they'd be forced to self-censor, and you'd never know what kind of fucking animal they were hiding underneath a facade of civility. I wonder if he actually says shit like this in real life...

But... why? I mean. Consider the possible goals: Encircling Ukrainian troops in the Joint Forces Area. Not going to happen, given they're advancing at a rate of a kilometer or two a day, at best. They couldn't "encircle" anything moving at ten times that speed. To encircle you have to cut...

Extreme effortpost updoot complete with the best arrow map made in this entire conflict for realsies What is Russia even doing

I just got done writing nine fucking pages about this sinking incident spelling out, in detail, the capabilities of the ship, the circumstances of the loss, and the consequences for the Russo-Ukrainian war and for the Russian Federation navy in general - only to have these goddamned images come...

Cool story bro https://twitter.com/GeoConfirmed/status/1513335145855700992#m BMP-3 armor - 35mm M-113 armor - 44mm 😏

Please note that this dumb cocksucker doesn't have a fucking clue what he is talking about. The Tochka-U is an 80s vintage weapon with a poor Circular Error Probable of about 100 meters, which is why the vast majority produced are equipped with bomblet submunition warheads. Bomblet submunitions...

Got my latest update here, and there's a section on Mariupol which shows that geolocations of recent combat seen around the city show the Russians very, very much do not have Ukrainian forces in a small and closing pocket. The propaganda video they released of a port the other day? It's on the...

Older sighting that is now relevant: For a US deployment of Patriot, a much newer, more sophisticated and more capable system: Slovakia confirms Patriot, S-300 air defense systems are heading to Ukraine Look up the size of Slovakia's armed forces. Their principal defense system is and...

As @Abhorsen mentioned, I have compiled as an exhaustive a list of photographic evidence of Russian war crimes as possible. Systematic rape, torture, and murder. There are no images in the document itself, you have to click through on the links for them. Be very careful about doing so. You can...
