I disagree, after first few days once the Russians have updated SAM software the Byraktars TB2 have crashed like flies and even the Ukrainians say they are useless along with other Turkish drones. Ukranian Airforce is not flying over the battlefield and is only operating out of Romania, Poland. NAT...

What exact purpose does a 125 mm cannon for light tank fill? No matter what it won’t be able to out range any modern tank with their superior optics. Not to mention carrying all the rounds is a liability if it gets penetrated. Won’t it be more versatile for a light vehicle to be fitted with autocann...

Boris Johnson all set to resign. One barking dog who made more trips to Kiev to meet his buddy Z is now on his way out. This is just beautiful Boris was largely pro-India and to some extent (relative to the others at least) so is the conservative party. Tories moving towards chaos and collapse is b...

Now, why would the Russians bring 30 vehicles to a rock in the sea barely a sqkm in area? As gifts surely... May be got jealous of NATO arms and wanted to started supplying to Ukraine as well :D Anyway Ukrainian helos have been seen ferrying captured equipment (probably small arms and rockets) from...

John

Will be more than simple switch to different gas turbine and will likely use CODLOG config with electric motors similar to RN Type 26. Don't think will make a jump to integrated electric propulsion given the challenges with that. Probably will incorporate some design changes as well like a larger ma...

Ukrainian forces in Snake island, Ukraine claims as many 30 vehicles were left behind by Russia

Most likely a follow up order of P-17a will fill that gap. I suspect follow up class to P-15b will be delayed to switch to MT30 or another gas turbine. Here is what I see P-17B 7: 2029-34 P-15C/P-18 4: 2032-36 NGC 8: 2028-35 NGMV 6: by 2030?? ( Lack of any construction updates on them is troublesome)

John

The claim is from the Russian Ministry of Defense per Alexander Mercouris. IF it is from the Russians then the chances are pretty good. Apart from Russian sites, a pro Ukraine source also confirmed it. Both sides gave the same location. 2 HIMARS destroyed along with the ammo supply. Also, Russian c...

Western propaganda will deny and cover up for as long as possible, the losses of Caesars and himars and the considerable weapons booty RU is capturing by the tonnes every day. Then they will blindly relay a statement from elensly like "we have done a strategic equipment rationalisation and red...

John

They need to switch from Talwar Class to better variants of the P-17A Class. So P-17B, P-17C and so on. Building more (and improved variants) of the P-17A Class is the better path forward. The 2+2 Grigorivich deal was unneeded when Goa SY could have even built the P-17 which are superior to Talwar ...

John

The tweet talks about Caesars captured by Ru, not the ones sold. some random guys on twitter saying one thing and it's opposite doesn't make a 'refute'. Bulgarian military site the telegram link refers to is (which is not a legit Bulgarian military site FYI) is referring to the tweet as the source....

Ukranian military people have sold 2 French Caesar self propelled arty systems to Russia for $120,000 each. Normally sold for 7 million. Reported by Bulgarian military web site. https://t.me/loordofwar/25214 Already refuted as fake this came from a tweet on June 20th and refuted by French source . ...

Tushil and Tamala may be fine (as long as the delivered turbines don't have any issues and don't need Zorya to fix anything) but plans to build two more by Goa SY will likely be scrapped. Didn't the Russians developed own design GT for ship's of this class and were fitting those turbines to the shi...

Given the Russians where getting pounded they have to retreat they just announced a reason for it and did. The images of abandoned equipment and artillery fire posted by last Russian helicopter clearly showed that. If you want to do it out good will you would have tried to do it in more orderly fash...

This taken from BAE brochure on M777 it is being used exactly as intended. Replace IED with drones as its smaller footprint would allow it to better concealed. https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/m777 the system features a minimal logistical footprint alongside maximum reliability.

The base is pretty big seeing how dispersed the strikes are it doesn’t look guided to me.

Based on what I can put together there is only 1 Tochka fired, they seemed to have fired something to try to intercept it (looks to be a high velocity missile ) but it missed or was partial hit and Tochka hit the ground. https://twitter.com/andriyurch/status/1543432386729644032?s=21&t=Vs-B0b9mjb...

John There was a statement also made that M777 use in Ukr is suboptimal? I don’t understand that as well. If anything it’s use in Afghanistan would be sub optimal yes? M777 are performing well you can make a case they don’t have enough (a cheaper light self propelled would work better as Ukr needs ...

John

How is M777 or HIMARS use in Ukr pontially in a manner not designed for? If that a deliberate use in that manner or because of a lack of training which causes SoPs to not be used? Given the M777 kill videos inspite of only handful in operation, I don't know how anyone can state it is not being used...

John

^ Most likely they will be used for P-15B follow on which will utilize electric motors and CODLOG configuration similar to Type 26 FFG (which also uses MT 30).

John

A quick word on M777 and HIMARS. Both, very reliable, high available systems, are being deployed for purposes they were not designed for. Both depend on accurate coordinates to be effective. Very much doubt that the Ukrainians have any organic ability to provide accurate coords. They are both being...

Am I correct in saying that; - Russia is winning the operational war - Russia is winning the strategic/geopolitical piece as well All this NATO huffing and puffing is just that.

^ It's clearly a Kh-22, I believe this is a upgraded Kh-22m but however I can see one missed it's target as they are not designed for ground attack. It uses RF to find targets which is not idea, it's similar to how our Styx attack where used in Op Trident but we used it coastal target so less chance...

While its great, I really don't know why the DRDO bothers to build these for the Arjun. Its a dead-end. Is this an upgraded version of the CLGM/SAMHO? Hope they build a UAV/Helicopter-launched version. It might have a better future there Can't this missile also be used in T-90s? I know Reflex seems...

John

I've not seen this anywhere other than a pro Ukranian source with limited following, so I'd like independent confirmation. However, the position hit (based on the coordinates) is 75km from Bakhmut - that's the nearest point to the front where, in theory, a MLRS an be placed. I don't think US has su...

Deans you can weight in since I don’t follow this conflict much anymore but reports coming in of whole Russian BTG+ ( I can see atleast 50+ vehicles ) wiped out by HIMARS strike. Impressed by latter precision compared to Smerch/Uragan. I can confirm with NASA FIRM and images from the area of a fire ...

Interesting details. Is the 40-50 Km range and 15 Km altitude true? That's a very long range for a CIWS style missile Also, didn't see any launch videos. Only photos. Not sure seeing a lot of range figures getting thrown around probably best not to speculate till official range figure is released. ...

Not only was it ship-launched, but it also intercepted a real sea-skimming target (probably Banshee). Given that this is only the 2nd publicized test, that's a significant level of maturity in a very short amount of time!! Yeap and if you notice it’s hot launch but VLS cells do look different than ...
