In light of the war in Middle East, let us once again remind you of our good old neocon and new atheist 'public intellectuals'. @Nilgiri @Ryder @Gary et al. Tbh, even though these days Sam Harris sounds like a broken record, they had quite a bit of impact on public discourse in 2000s and 2010s...

But balance of power between (an almost) unified West and Türkiye is not the same, is it? Tit for tat is not always a very wise response.

IMO, it sounds worse. I was just scrolling, Media is already blowing up with this. Up until now everything was sensible. Calling for ceasefire, proposing to act as mediator, organising aides, condemning Israel for indiscriminate bombing. But now Turkish president just outright cornered...

Hypothetical. Purely hypothetical if you read carefully. But yes, from a strictly military perspective, Israel' tremendous lack of strategic depth hurts their land based nuclear deterrence.

Only first batch of $1.2 billion has been bought.

Not a problem, Israel refusing to accept the Arab peace initiative is the problem. They are deliberately making it existential confrontation. (Very unlikely it will end well for them)

Yes, it is unfair. While I don't want look down on you in the old fashion 'oh look, another typical Westerner doesn't understand how Middle East actually works' but this is a gross oversimplification a best. First and foremost, if there was an actual persistence coordinated effort to destroy...

Such holy war is a pipe dream. And Israel launching nukes would be death sentence to almost every jews on earth. Also, Israel's nuclear deterrence is more vulnerable than any others. Thanks to its lack of strategic depth, If you put ABM systems in Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon amd protect it, you...

I am still a bit skeptic. I think this is one of those small raid or 'movement to contact' to develop the situation. IDF will probably take more time before fully committing its large formations.

What?

Iran’s calculations in the Israel-Hamas war October 19, 2023 Alex Vatanka As the war rages on between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, the role of Iran will remain a central factor. Tehran is not only Israel’s top regional foe but also the leading provider of military aid and training for Hamas...

And conduct themselves in a humane way after that.

That sh*t was crazy today. Here is my prediction. The four semi finalists would be- 1. India 2. New Zealand 3. South Africa (my team btw) 4. Australia 70% Chance India win this if they make to the final. (I had doubts about Rohit's ability to lead, but he is doing fine.)

@Huelague This is probbaly one of Turkish army Configuration. You can clearly see the empty other half. You can just put another six tube pod there with crane only. (Does not even require any modification) The advantage is, mission commander can configure it however he chooses according to the...

Not low, it is a modular system. It can be like this- (TRG-230 Battery, with Bangladesh Army 51th MLRS Regiment)

Yes, I also strongly disagree with @dBSPL's Notion. Even though UN is pretty much handicapped when to comes great powers and their competitions, it has lots of use for small and poor third world countries when it comes essential matters. Like organizing and managing critical aides to save...

That is not a conventional missile. It's for Nulcear MIRVs. Chenk with 1x MARV is probbaly similar to Iranian Kheibar Shekan.

It this from the Official statement or the laser seeker has been spotted?

Very interesting…….It seems Rural Russia is totally stuck in the previous century. @Nilgiri @Ryder @Gary et al.

Nilgiri class is perfect for India's need. It's size, plus sensor and weapon package is excellent. (But does it have VDS?) On the other hand, BN frigates are defensive posturing in the bay of Bengal. Given it is not practical fo BD to try to compete with India in numbers of ships for offensive...
