From a prominent Russian Milblogger "Bulba of Thrones"... It gives great detail into the insane, recent destruction of Russian artillery the hands of Ukraine.
It's time for the West to pour it on. Russian blood is in the water and their artillery and air defense in the south (and...
What people don't realize is that while Russia's Lancet has been highly successful, Western manufacturers have recognized the success of drone warfare on the battlefield and have realized how big the market for drones is for Ukraine. As we speaked, Western drone production (both for surveillance...
They quietly sent a couple Leopards 2s and earlier in the War sent some BMPs after Germany agreed to backfill them with Marders. Greece has undeniably contributed very little to the war effort, hiding behind maintaining military balance with Turkey.
That said, I never expected much from...
List of armored vehicles that have been donated to / purchased for Ukraine in recent weeks. I try to post one of these every month as a reminder of the recent donations to Ukraine. I don't include all weaponry, but I chronicle vehicles donated and "special" weapons.
Main Battle Tanks
4 Leopard...
So what your saying is that a lesson learned by the United States 45 years ago, is just being learned by Russia now? You're confirming that the VKS is that far behind their American counterparts? That's horrible for Russia's hopes of being a true geopolitical rival to NATO in any conventional...
None of this refutes anything I said. Russia's far superior Air Force has been deeply underperforming since the outset of the conflict. Their inability to achieve air superiority is one of the most shockingly bad performances in modern military history.
516 days into the war and they are no...
The break through in that area is undeniably significant at this point. Ukraine is likely going to be forced to send reserves from elsewhere in order to stop the advancement, which was Russia's plan for this offensive. They're taking the pressure off of the Bakhmut and Zaporizhia fronts, by...
The entirety of Europe are not the problem. There are key members of Europe (looking at you France) that are not pulling their weight compared to the likes of Germany, Poland, Britain and the Baltic States.
Unfortunately for them, their SU-35s are having very little overall impact on the war because they have a juicy radar signature and they are absolutely petrified of flying them anywhere near tier 1 or tier 2 Ukrainian air defense. One of the most perplexing aspects of this war has been Russia's...
They've been getting battered there for a couple weeks and have incurred horrendous loses. The two Ukrainian Brigades (name the 3rd assault brigade) in that region have been doing incredible work, backed by Western artillery and HIMARS.
It's going to be extremely important that as that 3rd...
Another Russian KA-52 helicopter shot down newr the front. The Russian attack helicopter fleet continues to take a pounding in this war.
Russian reinforcements in the Andriivka / Klishchiivka area were decimated upon their arrival to the front. In this video you can see the carnage...

Well said. USA has been footing the bill for North American and European defense for far too long. There are a number of European countries with serious skin in the game regarding the outcome of this war, that could and should step up substantially. Some already have. See Poland and the Baltic...
A stalemate, undeniably, is advantageous to Ukraine, as long as Westen funding is "in it" for the long haul. Russia's economy has shown significant cracks in it and it's manufacturing capacity is dwarfed by the West's collective ability to ramp over time and overwhelm Russian production...
Defense in depth will be important for Ukraine, as it has been been throughout the war. Russia has has proven time and again thay everytime they advance in a region they become stretched too thin, have their logistics and supplies targeted by Ukrainian long range weapons and they become...
Ukraine only has 2 Patriot systems and 1 SAMP/T for the interception of ballistic missiles. They can intercept cruise and drones in other regions, but it's widely believed that Kyiv, Kharkiv and Lviv have the Patriot and SAMP/T batteries. The reaninder of the country is being protected by tier 2...
