How many of these 7 steps have our current crop of political masters leaders managers even attempted? Let alone become proficient in? Yet they still demand our respect (votes)

Just add AI for when out of FPV range, more lithium for range, beefier motors to spin dual 45° offset props per shaft and a frag grenade. Stir, update from 2018 tech and give to Ukraine as an anti drone SHORAD. No, wait, they did that already

That bag on the front of the crashed decoy/drone (likely not one of the shot down ones) is a partially empty extended range fuel bladder replacing the warhead to attempt (unsuccessfully, other photos show about 20% fuel remaining (to enable deeper penetration. But like (or so I have been told)...

Cost/Benefit thumbnail sketch: USSR 2.0 drones about 50k each (average of decoys to live drones that attempted to return to the Belarus Oblast arbitrarily set at $50k as likely many more decoys than drones were used and there is a cost difference between them) 4 drones shot at successfully...

Any chance of the Lithuanian railway fire being non-accidental?

$100 says he does not try to enlist now that he is not anymore. Double it if he gets through processing to basic in under a year.

However, only 3 of 19 drones were shot down with a 4th damaged. As Perun might say, that level of economic asymmetry is not sustainable. What is the total cost of all the NATO F16 ($27k an hour), F35's ($34k an hour), E3 ($66k an hour x 9) and whatever KC46/135 or weapons were used? Or the...

Analysis of when the Crimean Beach Party will occur

Crimean strategy is a long game so don't expect a sudden use of Flamingo missiles on the Kerch bridge.

Some more good news for Ukraine. The FSB (and Putin) is dismantling the military command structure. So more incompetence on the front line and at some point a shift in direction away from Ukraine to attack the FSB. Whether it is a civil war leading to a continued Federation or a collapse of the...

TRADOC must be consuming a lot of energy drinks to even keep the doctrinal changes in sight on the horizon...

Finally. If only secondary sanctions had been enforced years ago

Looking ahead - what will happen in the 2027 Taiwan invasion window if China has North Korea slow, reduce or delay weapons shipments, feints east but attacks north and at the same time all the North Korean troops turn on Russia. The US would be out of position, Europe would be still tied up...

Only because he doesn't know / never reads briefings (dylexic 3rd grader?).

I see a noteable lack of fuel trucks.... Canada needs this for it's F35's - but might benefit with the addition of an arrestor cable truck/trailer for the F18 to access shorter road sections. How many guard airmen would it take to refuel/rearm/maintain/house and sleep/ops planning in this...
