It's very, very, very important to make a distinction between AMRAAM-D and other modifications. AMRAAM-D is the first missile which outranges a contemporary Russian fighter radar. And it has home-on-jam mode, which will be very handy too.

What this is about? The house majority is far more hawkish than the White house by a big margin.

That's a big change from 7-8 thousands in the early war, but still staggeringly weak for the biggest economy in the world. South Korea for example can pump 1m+ shells per year with its current manufacturing capacity. It's absolutely mind boggling that UA allies still can't saturate Ukraine's...

The question is not whether it's F-35 or Rafale, but an American plane or a French plane. France was always less troubling to its buyers, yet being a bigger trouble by itself. France worked incessantly on expanding the "France bloc" since the end of Cold War, and a rational man can deduce that...

They have tons of collaborators. They had 20 years to plant them after all. Russia had literally thousands of spies in Ukraine.

GaAs vs. GaN. I GaAs still has superior electron mobility than GaN, but GaN switches can be made just that much more powerful. The nest technology for microwave range switching is GaN on SiC, where an epitaxial layer of GaN is grown on top of SiC with its very good thermal conductivity. Higher...

Serbia had Vietnam war era SAMs, and in nowhere comparable quantity to what both Ukraine and Russia field. Iraq similarly had fought with 1st and 2nd generation SAMs at most. Syria had 2nd gen SAMs, but like only 2 batteries, which were taken out by Israel at a first opportunity. That...

They need that for other parts of the front too. They were over-reliant on division artillery from the start, and their resource of SPGs/SPHs is what took most of the beating early on. They hastily switched to regimental artillery, but their regiment level artillery quickly ran out of ammo...

IF you have gazillion of disposable units to preplace in anticipation of enemy breakthrough, a stall for time defence without armour is possible. Offence — no.

And here he outs White House's bet on "Russia wearing out" Politicians don't say such things revealing war strategy If they knows, that the enemy knows that they know, the enemy will change his strategy Russia has long corrected for this strategy by matching forward cheap, replaceable, low...

Russians will not be standing still as well, and the West is staring into barrel life problem too. Spare barrels weren't produced in the West at a replenishment rate even before the war. And there are only 2 big tube artillery makers left in the West.

At least half of that production is set for immediate replenishment of existing stocks, not Ukraine. So, if the West will triple production, they will only have around 2x that averaged. Which is of course is big, and is of course dependent on whether it will reach anywhere close to 150...

Kissinger skirts the Logan act like a boss.

I see this as a mental falacy of political left. They think that Russia or China has a "ruling class" which they can negotiate. This is at the time when Xi purges few hundreds of politburo members like it's nothing to do. Can a politburo which lets the leader to purge it left and right...

Update on Kreminna, Russians keep amassing forces there in the forest. AFU have an artillery brigade there exploiting them concentrating there, but Russians don't seem to be deterred by losses from that. It's a too obvious "i have more bodies than you have ammo" statement. Russians broke out...

Take a note of the new cammo.

Another thing to watch now is what Russians will be doing with their reserves. They don't seem to truly have a strategic reserve, but they have a lot of scattered units on the rear lines. Russian force in the south is a mix and match of previously destroyed units returning from R&R, and much...

What can I say half way into the counteroffensive. Complex defence lines still work. Brute force mining with tens of millions of mines still can't be effectively undone even by mechanised demining. You can spend all demining charges on the planet, and you will only clear few tens of square...

From where? They emptied all of the coffers, 1st tank army, which guards Moscow, been sent to Ukraine. Only armour of Russian militarised police is seen. This is by the way also the reason why we don't see much of Russian BTRs on the front, while Russia have gazillions of them on the paper...
