NATO has 1 billion people. You cannot physically kill more than few percents of that with all nuclear weapons ever made on earth.

BTW, Russia has now passed the number of losses of Iraq in OIF.

Almost all rich Pakistanis in UK are Tories, and poor are polliticaly inactive.

Russia nearly completelly ran out of 122mm. Russian industrial capacity without massive expansion is below 100k shells per month. At least 4m shells were expended, and lost to attacks. Different estimates for Russian reserves pre-war vary wildly from 8m to 28m. The upper plank is estimated...

Rishi really wants to get the PM chair, and he would've been on the straight line to finish would've not for Ukraine war crossing this out. Remember, only the mail ballot will ultimately decide what path out of 2 the party will chose. What matters in the final round are wide publicity in the...

I greatly doubt Russia being able to match their ammo expenditure after Ukraine took out months worth of ammo. That video is btw from 8-6 weeks ago.

USSR's 152mm, and rocket artillery ammo stocks were giagntic, but not infinite. 2.5m rounds + what they lost in Alchevsk + Donetsk would be a double digit percentage of their total stocks. It's 2-3 strategic logistics bases emptied, of which WP had 18. Russia only inherited 8 or 9 of them. If...

Explosions in Kakhovka, and FOB near Popasna were huge, but ones in Donetsk, and Alchevsk were just gigantic. It would've taken many months to truck in that amount of artillery ammo for both Donetsk, and Alchevsk, and we haven't seen any signs of that. There is a TG group I would not name...

I am far less pessimistic. There is no breakthrough for Russians, and they stalled after Lysychansk despite them still having at least 3-4 battalions in the rear to attack Sloviansk. They will be fighting now much further away from their logistic lines they prepared in the past 8 years...

Command guidance if not that cheaper than semi-active, or beam-riding: you still need a gyro, INS of some kind, precision tracking on the launcher. It's only attraction today is immunity to antiradiation missiles if the search radar is off.

It's still very big that Apple moved iPad there, its' a trial for iPhone production I believe.

The testing regime is nowhere near as strict as it was during the peak. They are not really trying to root it out anymore, something is much more insidious going on now. PLA units being redeployed randomly across the country. Engineering units getting sudden drills scheduled. Militias got...

I bet they can only have so much ammo because they stockpiled it somewhere close by, like in Crimea, or Donetsk over these 8 years. While Kupyansk, and Crimea are their 2 main logistic lines, the amount of supplies passing them is certainly not matching Russian enormous ammo expenditure. Most...

Totally true. I know Pakistanis have a lot of support for China in the staredown with India, but does it hold the other way around? China will hold relation with Pakistan in as much esteem as Pakistan is useful to Beijing, and at the moment, IMHO, it barely useful if it is at all. TLDR: Most...

Where that Eurofighter will get a cue on a land target while at flight level 400? And who will be covering it with EW, providing AEW, carry AR missiles to take out SAMs, and protecting land attackers from enemy fighters? No airforce in EU is as complete, and autonomous as the US one by a huge...

It's outright ridiculous to say that somebody don't have tech today. Everybody can go to Google.com and find out very recent books on missile guidance, down to detailed drawing. Guidance is no longer a problem. $1 chips today have many times the computing power of 80s ICBM guidance systems...

Whom will they mobilise? Ukraine has millions of men who went through conscript training during the peace time, who can now be mobilised. What is the age of people who were EU's last conscripts? It's 50+ on average now. It also have an army which been preparing, and training non-stop for 8...

Ukraine currently has the biggest army in Europe, of course it cannot. Probably it is also the second, or third strongest in Europe after US, Turkey, and possibly Greece. Nobody really uses helis in this war to hunt armour, too much shorad on both sides. EU NATO members don't really have its...

Telegrams: Kyselivka has changed hands again Russians fell back again, and started shelling Kyselivka as usual. Almost nothing is left from that hamlet.

I noted UK Indians are quite disdainful about India, if not resentful.
