Lol Putin 🤡... The guy whose military is so bogged down in Ukraine that they've yet to conquer 20% of the country, despite insane attrition, is talking about WWIII. Put the crack pipe down Vlad.

Very, very different when you are caught by surprise vs mobilized for war. Israel's 🇮🇱 military posture is much, much different than it was on October 7th. I suspect that a conventional offensive from Hezbollah would play out similar to Wagner's attack on Bahkmut in Ukraine. There would...

Do you really think Hezbollah has the type of forces that would fare well in an offensive, against a prepared enemy, with a first world military? Hezbollah is at its best when it's able to fight using gorilla tactics, on its own territory, using its own prepared defenses. I think they'd get...

Nothing beats real world experience for the pilots. Large drones are such a slow, juicy target for advanced western radars. AIM-7, AIM-9, Meteor and ASRAAM are going to have no shortage of juicy targets.

Iraq is not going to "protect" its air space against the United States, unless the U.S. starts targeting Iraq proper. If you're the leadership in Iraq, why would you kick that hornets nest? It makes no sense.

Russia 🇷🇺 is posturing for the most part. The Americans have been DYING for the Russians to misstep and invite conventional conflict. The Russian Air Force and Navy are going to get their shit pushed in if they try to get involved in any meaningful way. Putin knows that. He's up to his elbows in...

Do you really think it's in Iraq's best interest to start shooting down American and British fighters that are not attacking Iraq? That sounds like an easy excuse for them to carpet bomb Baghdad again. I have no idea why Iraq would want to do that right now.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays our strategically, given that I suspect much of this was "discussed" in advance. Israel's air defense will primarily include... Israeli 🇮🇱 Iron Dome This will be used as the primary defense system against Iranian drones, using Tamir interceptors...

Andrew Perpetua's visually documented and geolocated losses for Russia and Ukraine, Friday, April 12th.

Germany 🇩🇪 has agreed to immediately send another Patriot Missile Battery to Ukraine. It will be the 4th such battery to be delivered to Ukraine, the 3rd by Germany. This is unlikely to be a battery from Germany's own inventory, rather, a system that a 3rd party country is quietly transferring...

Of course USA 🇺🇸 doesn't want the conflict to erupt. Especially at a time where normalization of relations between Israel 🇮🇱 and some of the U.S. closest Middle Eastern allies has been trending in the right direction. As soon as this conflict in Palestine is over, countries such as Saudi Arabia...

The Nethlerlands 🇳🇱 have announced that on top of the additional $400 million Euros worth of financial aid that they are giving Ukraine in 2024, that they are upping the military aid that they will send Ukraine as well. Instead of the 2 Billion Euros worth of military aid that the Dutch had...

There is nothing more head scratching then watching Iran 🇮🇷 posture retaliation, but literally OK'ing it with the people that they're about to attack, out of fear that they'll get their teeth kicked in if they actually in any serious way. There really is no difference than from when USA sent...

The Netherlands 🇳🇱 has announced a new financial aid package for Ukraine in the amount of $400 million Euros. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/netherlands-pledge-additional-400-million-euros-aid-ukraine-rtl-news-says-2024-04-11/

Andrew Perpetua's visually confirmed and geolocated losses for Russia and Ukraine, Wednesday, April 10th.

The Taurus cruise missile conversation is strange because even if Germany 🇩🇪 was willing to send them to Ukraine, they could not send them in any quantity that would make a major impact on the war. They have 600-700 cruise missiles in their inventory, with 75% of those in a state of storage to...

Andrew Perpetua's visually confirmed and geolocated losses for Russia and Ukraine, Tuesday, April 9th. Note that losses are VERY high because he fell behind over the weekend and is catching up. He noted that he had over 600 videos to sort through, with 2/3's being drone strikes. Those take time...

Mass production of cheap drones to strike Russian energy and military infrastructure is as important to the Ukrainians as it is the Russians. It forces Russia to spend enormous sums of money to manufacture air defense interceptors, that thry wouldn't have to otherwise. It also forces them to...

It's rumored to be part of the deal associated with the U.S. agreeing to sell them F-35s. The transfer won't be immediate and they're likely to be reimbursed for them through the EU facility that refunds members for sending their military hardware to Ukraine. More to follow.
