They have Garmin GPS' in their $35 million usd fighter aircraft because their own systems are terrible. Their guidance systems in the majority of their missiles are dogshit. They have command level military personnel (all extreme alcoholics) getting drunk and shooting at their own PMCs. 25% of...
So in 4 days Ukraine has taken back several settlements in Zaporizhia, multiple kilometers north of Bakhmut and south towards Klishchiivka, penetrated the first line of Russian defense near Robotyne and has been hammering Russian buildups in places like Tokmak, with HIMARS. A quietly, successful...
Ignore the Russian propaganda noise. Yes, Ukraine has a lost a couple Leopard 2 MBTs and a handful of Bradley IFVs. That's the price of going on an offensive. They've also gained more territory in the Bahkmut and Zaporizhia regions in the last week, than Russia did in months of fighting in the...
It's going to be long and bloody. There is really no way around that given Ukraine's combat capabilities. They don't have NATO's ability to control the skies and rain hell down on the Russians from above. As a result, they have to advance through prepared defenses and it's going to cost them a...
Please keep the following in mind as Ukraine 🇺🇦 begins its summer offensive.
1. Russian propaganda will be out in full force. They try deeply to control the narrative for the sake of their 140 million citizens that must be spoon fed propaganda so that they don't lynch the Russian government in...
By all accounts the Ukrainian offensive is kicking off around Zaporizhia and in an attempt to achieve operational encirclement of Bakhmut. When you factor in that Ukraine prepared 9 assault battalions and had 5-6 assault defensive battalions resting and waiting in the areas surrounding Bakhmut...
Czech 🇨🇿 industry, in collaboration with Ukroboronprom, will begin refurbishing and modernizing stored Ukrainian T-64 MBTs. There is no word on how many of these stored T-64s exist, but it's speculated that Ukraine could have as many as several hundred that are in salvageable condition, in need...

It appears that we're seeing probing attacks by Ukraine, in various areas across the front. That makes sense as the next step for Ukraine in their preparation for a counter attack. They've spent the last 2+ weeks hammering Russian artillery and logistics, in preparation for an attack. These...
There is no doubt that that these segments are engineered by the the Russian State, but what's important to focus on is how the narrative evolves over time. As the Russian struggles in this conflict mount, the narrative shifts from confidence, to more of a conversation of "we can't actually...
Ukraine 🇺🇦 has been hammering the Russian occupied of Berdyansk for the last week, with Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Lots of videos have been emerging about the strikes. Of course, Russia claims they're intercepting all of the cruise missiles, as they struggle mightily to enforce the narrative...
There is no way for anyone to make Russia Completely irrelevant. The idea is to ruin the standard of living enough for their people for them to consider political change, and force them to spend far more money than they want to on defense, with NATO along the entirety of their border.
Russia...
There is no value to the West in a DMZ. The value to us is having Russia's economy crippled by the costs associated with the war, their currency devalued on the international stage, their army crippled for a generation, while the West has an excuse to fully modernize their own military power and...
The real issue here is the breaks in training / equiping Ukrainians on / with all they need to push Russia out entirely. The majority of what the West has donated to this point has been defensive in nature. Only a small percentage of what has been donated is ideal for continuous, full scale...
This is the way. Ukraine is going to want to give a thunderous blow back, inflict maximum casualties and destruction on the Russian army in the regions they counter attack in, before they even consider going to the negotiating table. They want to negotiate from a position of strength, with Putin...
What I would say to the Indonesian Minister is the following. Why don't you broker that deal by giving up roughly 15-17% of Indonesia to Ukraine to compensate them for their lost territory, shipping ports, coast line, natural resources, etc. That would be an example of fanatstic deal brokering...
