Re: Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC 2): News & Discussion
I find it strange that the RM is talking about building 5-6 carriers when we don't have a destroyer pipeline (not to talk about submarines).

Re: Russian-Ukrainian War: Combat Tactics & Strategy
Btw, in a general vein, I don't understand the obsession to take cities/towns - Bakhmut or Avdeevka and now Kharkiv (other than the PR part). Fighting street by street, taking up buildings, steel plants etc is such a big waste of time. And worse is when the forces send tanks into cities. I thought t...

What is clear is that it is much cheaper to attack (with cheap drones) than it is to defend. And that's where the ability to counter-attack just as cheaply becomes an effective deterrent. A country that isn't aided by the US or rich Arab states will ruin the defense budgets very quickly figuring out...

The problem is not in Hormuz strait, but in Persian gulf. If they start drone ship attacks on oil tankers, the oil price is going to go through the roof. They will estimate that this would cause the world to back a ceasefire.
