Basically after failed Russians blitzkrieg and pullout from north the war entered the attrition mode. Russians still have massive advantage in armor, artillery, air force and somewhat in manpower. Thanks to it they still manage to advance, although very slowly. During the whole April they...

Laser guided artillery use classical SALH guidance (not laser beam ride). Need laser designator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_guidance

The Challenge Increasingly sophisticated airborne threats – including mortars, rockets, and UAVs as well as swarms of mini-UAVs – are being faced by both military forces and population centers. Since current Kinetic interceptor systems are expensive and not always...

ALKA is designed against mini-micro drones and IEDs. Max range - 750 m, max target speed - 150 km/h https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/alka-new-network-enabled-weapon https://web.archive.org/web/20200205165711/https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/product/alka-directed-energy-weapon-system/...

Cant add anything except that wast majority of them are Ukrainian/Russian origin.

After pulling from north Ukraine as expected Russians started to focus on Donbass. But they lost time and the Ukrainians prepared and got new weapons. As result Russian advance is super slow. Comparison of 1 april and 24 april situation: This time Russians use lots of artillery and attack...

Former IDF soldiers. They are volunteers.

F-35 is best fighter today because it is: * Best in stealth. * Best in sensor fusion. The only serious weakness of the F-35 is not its speed or maneuverability as haters claim. They are more than adequate, but that it has only 1 pilot. Thats pretty heavy load with the amount of sensors.

I dont believe all these stories about arresting generals etc. Unlike Stalin, Putin never punishes anyone for incompetence. What matters for Putin is only a personal loyality.

Lasers ("Iron Beam" system) will not replace the Iron Dome, but supplement it. The main problem of Iron Dome that it cant intercept rockets with range less than 4 km. Also using 100 K Iron Dome rocket against mortar shells and small very short range rockets is hard to afford. Iron Beam -...

Israel bombed military targets in Syria hundreds of times. There was not a single case when Russian newest SAMS shot down a missile. The made many claims but never were able to shoot down even one missile. Thats why Israel never uses decoys in Syria. There is simply no need.

As I noted many times. RuAF lacks targeting pods and JDAMs. So they can either strafe in WW2 style with unguided rockets (which is extremely dangerous if enemy has MANPADS) or level towns with dumb bombs (also dangerous if enemy has some simple SAMs). They have long range cruise missiles. But...

Israel successfully tests laser defense system able to intercept drones, missiles Defense Minister Gantz says the 'Iron Beam' is a game-changer, will significantly improve Israel's defense capabilities; the high-end experimental system is expected to become operational in 1-2 years The Defense...

Little bit about pathetic condition of Russian air force. Their helicopters are firing unguided rockets upwards. This tactics greatly increases range what helps to avoid MANPADS, but has nearly zero accuracy and effect. In other words expensive machine which costs tens of millions of $ is...

No.

Current situation is more or less like this. Russians did not advance much since last map but managed to clear flanks and rears. Chernihiv and Sumy areas remain without clear frontlines, so Russian convoys are still very vulnerable there. Russians were pushed back from Nikolayev area. Seems...

No, they are not at war. They ended state of war in 1956. But did not sign peace treaty.

I dont believe in it. Hezbollah is too precious asset for Iran to be wasted for Putin's silly ambitions.

I disagree. They effectivelly brainwashed most of the Russians. And in the west there are plenty of Putins supporters as well.
