The thing is doesn't matter if the Ukrainians had suffered far more losses compared to Russia, which I doubt it. But lets say they did, history has shown that it doesn't always factor into victory. The Russians killed millions of Afghans during the Soviet-Afghan war and lost. The U.S. killed...
Uh huh. Considering something similar happened with a Russian missile went astray into Cyprus. Definitely not intentional by Ukraine since the U.S. can see it. Just like when the Iranians claimed they had nothing to do with shooting down a passenger plane in Iran but the U.S. saw it and the...
B-21 bombers don't discriminate. You can ask the Serbs. They would disagree with that comment about being Brown and getting bombed.
The wings and the outer fuselage are reduced compared to the B-2. IMO I believe they kept the same size bomb bays while shrinking the rest. Notice how fat it...
Considering the U.S., Europeans, South Korea, Japan and other countries are providing generators of all kinds from big to small that can bring power to hospitals, government institutions and banks to homes and businesses. Diesel to gas generators of different varieties. Obviously those types...
Thats why I mentioned about some auto tracker with day and night time capabilities that can be provided. Something like this.
Yeah even the Russians know the value of such trucks.

Just found this in an Iranian military forum about Czech Republic providing anti air ZSU 23 truck. They are having a laugh about it. I think its smart and not obsolete if integrated with EO system for day and night. Maybe even put it on a bigger truck and combine it with Vampire...
I think they will probably skip the unmanned turret and just use the new engine, panoramic sights without having to turn the turret which takes up a lot of power, new gun, maybe even the new auto loader which means new turret design to accommodate all this.
They won't go for the 130mm because...
The t-14 is really nothing new. The American version TTB

Nothing to do with NATO, this is privately funded by the citizens of Czech Republic. Actually this is pretty good and cheaper alternative than some advance complex SHORAD that most militaries use. However adding some EO or auto tracking should help.
Dying of cold? More like the Russian troops are dying of cold. You think cutting the power would force the Ukrainians to surrender? It doesn't take much to adapt to the cold. Put some extra clothes on like sweat pants and a hoodie or sweater to keep warm. Can't cook food without power? Use...
Go the wrong direction? They can chase after missiles especially cruise missiles.
If it misses, it will keep going.
Doesn't always head on towards the target.
This doesn't apply for the Blackhawks. And even if was a prototype, sometimes the technology learned can be applied like lets say Comanche program for stealth Blackhawks...
in another post as I have mentioned that just the presence of the ATACMS will send shivers on the Russians. They will have to pull their aircraft out of occupied Ukraine from and put them afar.
Or they COULD give them ATACMS in retaliation. Just their presence alone is enough to force the Russians to pull back their planes and helos from Crimea alone. Which would help Ukraine the most. And benefit NATO.
Are you talking about this? Newest and advanced fly by wire tech?

"China had no reference when it developed the fly-by-wire flight control system on its own - even now the Black Hawk with fly-by-wire upgrades has not entered service, the chief designer said."
