That point about Armenia doesn't support the argument, as that was not a case of ability but of will.

It was a combination of both. If they were not involved in Ukraine, they would have had a much sronger deterrence and Azerbaidjan would have had second thoughts about the war. But since Russia was already struggling in Ukraine, the Azeris knew they won’t be able to help Armenia, so they took advantage of Russia’s weakness. The lack of will from Russia’s part had its roots in its inability to fight on another front, after the difficulty it was already facing in Ukraine, and the need to not anger Turkey, as Russia was already isolated politically after the Ukraine invasion. Things are interlinked, and Russia’s weakness caused by the war in Ukraine puts it in a position where it is unable to help any of its allies.

This is expected but very interesting.

IDF has been using VBIEDs based on old M-113 APCs in Gaza for months, but this is the first example from Lebanon (Kfar Kila) I’ve seen. They are used to demine intersections/buildings instead of lineclearing charges & are pulled into place by D9 dozers prior to remote detonation

How many F-35 Israel has lost?

We dont know. The Iranian attack was known a couple hours before, and there were flight traffics from the base to South-Cyprus before the attack occured.

But Western countries and companies are blurring satelite images of the Israeli airfields and there is a media blackout in Israel - you get arrested if you take pictures.
