Article 5 is not the panacea you think it is - it is actually pretty weak (as I have pointed out before) as it relies on each country deciding what it feels is an appropriate contribution to the NATO response. Anything from thoughts and prayers plus sanctions to saturating the enemy airspace...

And don't forget Putin has already said the sale of Alaska was wrong/is invalid and that Russia will take back all of it's 'traditional' lands". Close enough to operate drones over Alaska, or launch glide bombs, all without entering the ADIZ or American ('Russian far eastern') airspace.

A British take on escalation management... https://www.facebook.com/reel/3914035908833983?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

Maybe those 70mm rockets would be useful...

TLDR: support Ukraine to fight now or prepare to fight later, and strangle Russia before any 'negotiations'

We have those?? 🤣

Seems that even when they try a mechanised assault the Russians essentially use the same tactics. Metal wave instead of meatwave?

The sapper in me longs tobe able to seed a minefield with these... Especially if they are AI enabled with target acquisition/recognition and autonomous attack. Even more so if able to swarm or be linked to route denial mines or tank kill capable larger drones. Sort of a 21st century 'Bouncing...

He could pull out from all internationally recognised Ukrainian territory, agree to NATO, start a schedule of reparations to Ukraine and also agree to submit to ICC trials of war criminals - and then have sanctions lifted and get economic aid to rebuild. I put the probability as approaching...

If we could only get our politicians to realise this

The Yellowknife area is too densely populated for large scale maneuvers, Churchill nope (endangered polar bear breeding area), Tuk maybe. Best option is Nanisivik. Deep water port, airstrip, no population, large abandoned mine infrastructure for base proper. And lots of both arctic ocean an...

Never gonna work. 1000+ km long DMZ -with 10,000 troops (unlikely) is 1 soldier every 500m 24/7 on an OP.

They are in some roles, not others, and not as the sole aircraft. Ukraine does not need many to satisfy any future NATO interoperability requirements and is not in the power projection club needing a deep penetration capability. Their future wars are all going to be primarily above them or...

Dome Some C's are on their way and long-term that is what they have said they want as their primary fighter/attack aircraft - so I started reading up on them and foud the video.

Can anyone explain to me in simple terms why we went exclusively F35 instead of Grippen E/F or a blend of the two?

Training matters

This interview is a LONG elucidated analysis of Ukraines possible futures by the former Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, now a Senior Fellow for Science and International Affairs at Harvard. Well reasoned and informed.

"Smaller drones can fly over 15 km on fiber optic cables and larger drones can fly up to 50 km. Fiber optics are an interim step until artificial intelligence becomes capable of recognizing different types of equipment and being able to be mass produced."...
