"Regional superpower" is oxymoron. :)

Israeli systems for F-35 still in development. Currently Israeli F-35A are no different from other.

Currently no difference.

Yeah missed somehow when I was writing down to forum. Actually they have 34 already.

Made little research, here current numbers: USA - 650+ (178 F-22 + ~300 F-35A + 124 F-35B + 56 F-35C) China - 100+ (J-20) Australia - 44 (F-35A) Norway - 34 (F-35A) S. Korea - 34 (F-35A) Israel - 30 (F-35A) UK - 23 (F-35B) Japan - 23 (F-35A) Netherlands - 22 (F-35A) Italy - 18 (14 F-35A + 4...

The difference in GDP per capita between Algeria and Morocco is small, despite the fact that Algeria has huge oil and gas reserves.

So Russia finally tested its kinetic ASAT. Does it mean Russia caught up US, China, India? Not really. Russia intercepted satellite using chasing method. This is very similar to space docking which is practiced since 1960-es: US, China, India intercepted satellite with front hit: Chinese...

Actual mobility of systems like S-400 is very low. You need large area for all machines cables connecting them. Area should not be covered by buildings and hills around, you need access roads. For example S-400 systems in Syria were never moved since their arrival in 2016.

As we can see in Syria, protection does not help much. If you fire 8 SCALP missiles from 4 Rafales the chance is nearly zero. You also should keep in mind that 400 km range is against slow flying high altitude targets. Against low flying targets it is limited to LOS.

SCALP will do the job.

Shortly after the war Samvel Babayan the Secretary of the Security Council of Artsakh claimed in the interview that 4 Tors were destroyed in first 15 days of the war. Now we got some confirmation.

So far there is no real confirmation. Its not easy to install Trophy on T-90, since Trophy requires lots of power (4 powerful AESA radars).

I think its good to change government time to time. Overall I am satisfied. That we finally passed a budget, dealt well with 4th wave of corona. No breakthroughs but nothing bad either.

Russia will bring now air defences. What Ukraine needs now: * Cheap small recon drones. * Suicide drones, which will destroy air defence systems detected by recon drones. * Decoy drones which will distract air defences and provoke them to expose themselves. * SIGINT.
