Waterloo happened after long war on attrition, defeat in Spain and Russia. John Churchill and Spanish succession victories happened mostly together with Eugene Savoy who was one of the most brilliant commanders in history.

British navy was strongest from 16th to first half of 20th century. But in terms of army i don't see any wonders to be honest. Thanks to its location and navy advantage Britain was safe from invasion, it could control trade and supplies, could suprise land forces. British strategy was simple...

If your fighters are escorting UAV then UAV would be a burden for them. First u need to achieve air superiority, then send big drones. When you win on battlefield politics can only watch and do nothing. Lets briefly check what happened in 3 operations involving Turkish attack drones: 1) Syria...

Yeah i wish we had F-35 kill switch in Tel Aviv. :rolleyes:

I guess Greece has hudreds of AMRAAMs and Meteors. So how any jets you need to lose before they get depleted how much time it will take? On the other hand with F-35 you can drop thousands SDB-s on aircraft bunkers, runways, radars, command centers, SAMs without waiting for depletion.

I repeat. Erdogan publicly promised to reverse Assad advances in Idlib. Not only he failed to do so, Assad forces managed to retake Saraqib while Turkish drones were still in the air. Now check the map of Assad air defence: Do you see the slight difference between Idlib and Damascus area...

In order to hit plane in bunker u need a direct hit. And one missile per bunker. According to Janes Bora has 30-50 m CEP, thats not enough to achieve a direct bunker hit. With cheap and many SDBs you can destroy all bunkers, runways radars etc

Israel has operational Eitan UAVs (similar to Akinci) for over a decade. But they are very vulnerable even to old SAMs and fighters. Thats why we never use them in Syria. Greece has both Patriot and S-300PMU2 they have fighters with AMRAAMs and now Meteors. They can easily shot down slow and...

Ballistic missiles are too expensive to use them against airport bunkers. 1 F-35 on the other hand can drop 8 cheap SDBs. Bombs are cheap. Drones have many limitations. They are very vulnerable to air defence, they carry only small bombs. Surely they cant carry deep strikes at all. Thats...

Every complex weapon will became useless very fast without proper maintenance.

Why do you need S-400? I would chose a squadron of F-35 over S-400 anyday. F-35 can be effectively used in: 1) DCA - defensive counter air 2) OCA - offensive counter air 3) CAS - close air support 4) DAS - Deep Air Support (aka Air Interdiction) 5) SEAD - suppression of enemy air defenses 6)...

The number of US troops in Afghanistan was very low since late 2014. So current withdrawal is more symbolic than real. US could quietly reduce numbers but they decided to do it openly causing panic and fall of morale. Seems like they wish to fall it as soon as possible.

I am just answering ur claim that Hezbollah is Lebanese issue. No it is not. This is total Palestinian population growth: Does not look like genocide. This is West Bank and Gaza: Ironically rapid growth stared after Israelis came there. Figures are from the Palestinian site...

The presence of Israel in West Bank is based on UN resolutions 242 and 338 + Oslo Agreements. More than legal. Hezbollah is committing genocide in Syria, including your beloved Palestinians. So its not just Lebanese issue. And when they attack Israel it is also not Lebanese internal issue.

Lebanese Druze confront Hezbollah rocket-launch convoy after it fires at Israel Angry villagers in Chouya accuse terror group of endangering civilian lives by firing projectiles from near civilian areas; Lebanon army confiscates launcher, arrests 4 suspects By Emanuel Fabian Today, 2:55 pm...

Unfortunately Sharon did not read ur post. So he was unaware he was defeated by Algerians. So he successfully secured the bridgehead, crossed the canal and enrcircled 3rd Egyptian army.

Iraq does not border Israel yet it send lots of its forces in 1948, 1967 and 1973 wars. Algeria has not.

I translated this table from Russian. The source is "History of WW2 1939-1945" USSR MoD publishing. Even in 1944 Germany produced about 2 times more gunpowder than USSR.
