I basically spent all my free time recently writing this, in case you wonder at my utter inactivity... https://historyandwarfare.wordpress.com/2022/05/01/operation-flash-1995-part-1/ Prelude Serb rebellion against Croatia had been stoked by Belgrade in support of its own expansionist plans...

Not all animals wage wars, as war requires organized groups, which is not something all animals have. Same thing, I believe, except in the natural environment the prey will run away so by the time fox has killed something, everything else will be out of range. But if a predator finds a group of...

1. Morality must necessarily give way to survival. If it doesn't, you don't survive and don't pass on your genes or upbringing, meaning that your behaviorial patterns evaporate. 2. Many predators may develop bloodlust. A fox in a chicken coop will kill every last chicken, even if it cannot eat...

That forward-facing gun looks really cramped in its alcove. Can it even raise barrel sufficiently to protect against forward-sector missiles that aren't sea-skimming?

I had been following their media for a long time. It is undeniable that West hates nationalism. As for Putin: https://sites.utu.fi/bre/vladimir-putin-a-russian-nationalist/

Actually, they do. Animals will murder for many things: competition for territory, competition for mates... but also just fun or bloodthirst. And more intelligent animal is, more creative it becomes.

So, what advantage do reverse launched missiles offer? To me, it seems that it would merely reduce the missile's range. Unless the aim is to take out SAMs that are trying to ambush aircraft after it had tried to leave.

I would be wary of such statistics, as enemy losses are almost always overstated. It is not even propaganda, necessarily, but a vehicle can be set ablaze or a soldier drop without actually being taken out of commission. EDIT: Anyway, I do not think I had posted this before. Quite an important...

https://historyandwarfare.wordpress.com/2022/02/27/pacific-war-12-doolitlles-tokyo-raid/ During February 1942., a request for volunteers was passed through all of the USAAF’s bomber squadrons. From a large number of volunteers, around a hundred ended up being chosen and sent to an air base in...

Byzantines assisted Crusaders with logistics as well as military assistance. But to Byzantines - and correctly - the places Crusaders had taken back were Byzantine lands by right. People living in those cities were subjects of the Emperor, and thus Byzantines could not allow the places to be...

"Staying in the castles" is literally the most sane strategy against any invader, not just the Mongols. Only idiots go out in the field to get killed needlessly. That much is true, although I would not say that Crusades backfired because the Crusaders refused to hand back the middle eastern...

I am aware of all of that, as were the Crusaders. And he did succeed in Battle of Merisvan. But as usual, the military advantage was a zig-zag affair, and by the Third Crusade Saladin was unable to stop the Crusaders from reaching Jaffa. And Crusader strategy was extremely effective considering...

And he still failed to stop the Crusaders, because they had adapted Byzantine tactics which were successful of holding the horse archers at bay. Also, Kilijarslan never actually attacked the main Crusader force; he only ever engaged the vanguard. So he used 6 000 - 8 000 cavalry to engage some...
