I think the Russian Navy is generally bad historically. It is obvious that the Moskva case is an example of neglect, being taken down with such a strike. Russian Navy is inexperienced and ill-disciplined, probably also didn't take their mission seriously either.
Well we can try incorporating them in the future.
But the problem is, the "regular" human resource themselves are barely qualified. They literally put that into their official paper, so it's a real problem. For the next 20 years, we need to strengthen the core first, and fill the ranks with...

I mean "Strategists" at Kemhan are literally having their pasfoto posted online, so yeah it's not that important to hide identity.
Even tho I am educated in civil government thing, it's not really my passion and only serves as a temporary job until I can get into a career that I truly like and...
Nah, probably gonna join relevant Kementerian, I think industry things should go to the engineer guys instead.
Not yet, still in civil administration, waiting for a job opening elsewhere. Probably not Kemhan either, I think the place is more of a TNI 2.0 with civilians only able to attain...
I always imagined Natuna as a fort in the middle of the sea, in the same manner of Malta in the Mediterranean or Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
Damn, someday I shall work in the defense community
We can conclude that data presenting Iran's GDP figure as anything higher than 300 billion USD is complete BS. The inconsistency alone completely negates the reliability of said data, 250 billion USD vs 1 trillion USD, coupled with the GDP growth trend, completely unbelievable.
Data doesn't make sense
Meanwhile very sus Wikipedia data:
GDP doubled during pandemic??? 20% annual growth??
Someone messed with the data, don't believe the wikipedia entry, he deliberately used the most illogical data for this.
This is the actual data from World Bank:
It's impossible...

Question:
How does Russia use their artillery compared to the US?
I’ve heard that Russia is an artillery army but can’t find many articles explaining why.
I have also heard the saying “The US maneuvers to fire while Russia fires to maneuver”
How do they use artillery...
I think hostomel has more to do with trying to use it as a frontline airbase, therefore in the interest of the Russian Air Force, rather than the Army. It has equivalent to the Japanese invasion, as the Japanese occupied and used Kalijati airbase to support the invasion in Java, Russia tried to...
NATO Intelligence at play
Honestly, if I'm a Russian general, my amateurish mind would probably prefer to use Artillery more instead. So dig in, make fortification around Kyiv, and unload the shells. This will negate the ability of Ukrainian frontline soldiers to regroup, rendering them unable...
Very good review on tank warfare, why losses are normal and do not necessarily mean tanks are obsolete, and how from the very beginning tank vs anti-tank weapons are always evolving in tandem with each other. So the problem lies in the conduct of warfare itself rather than the vulnerabilities of...
The thing is our recruitment system is very funny and there are decades long human resource mismanagement.
Tamtama, Bintara, and Perwira, all started recruitment from the same age: 17-18. There's SECATA, SECABA, and AKMIL all open for all high school graduates at the same time. So such a US...
The difference is between having these problems among officer corps in a conscription system vs the entire military in a professional system. So in the conscription system you really rely on the quality of professional officers, these guys are the full-time ones and if they fck up then the...
The difference is the conscription system vs the volunteer system.
Russia uses a conscription system, males aged 18-27 are up for the draft. The thing is this range is pretty wide that they have 9 years range of age for conscription and serve for 1 year. That means Russia actually have a...
