In other bizarre news is Elon Musk calling out Putin in “single combat”. What does that even mean? Has Musk really started believing US propaganda to that extent? The impact of Starlink on Ukranians is negligible to say the least and thats why Musk is being ignored (apart from by Dmitry Rogozin who...

Russian tactics have been surprising because their initial strategy was to take the cities without much damage and force a deal with Ukraine. Also, they didn't send their whole force in the first few days to see the reaction of NATO and see if they really came to Ukraine's aid. So, they mainly sent ...

So India took out some person or persons and gave Pakistan a fig leaf. Which Pakistan eagerly wore. Very much possible. Why should india use an expensive weapon just to take out a guy? If it was a big guy, we would have heard bigger noises from Pakistan. I would like to think that this was a warnin...

One of the main things in this war is the real time intelligence provided to Ukraine. Do we have anything that can disable or blind satellites like lasers, Direct energy weapons?

There is no doubt that the Russian probably underestimated the Ukrainian resistance and sent in a force almost casually and got taken out early. This gave a renewed confidence to Ukrainians. The first blows should have been hard, but went for a soft approach. Now, they are having rethink their strat...

What I don't get is why are TB2 drones not taken out by Russians?

Which missile? If it is truly accidental then we really have to look at our firing procedures and quality controls.

Russia is very nervous how this might turn up militarily. They sent in the junk early days to see the reaction of the world. After that, it has been little more better but no hi tech stuff.

Regarding all the logistics problems which the Russians have now, is it because they moved faster than they expected?
Ukraine probably put up very less resistance in open roads and wanted to draw them into urban warfare. Hence, Russians just raced forward more than they actually planned for.
