@KomissarWhipla @Dicker_JJ Same as most similar statements I guess?

[Igor Shenderskiy @Gloire_bb]

@someplaosint The path was to do it via theater GBADs and light fighter-equipped squadrons?

Premature withdrawal of mig-21 before replacement appears to hurt them badly in this regard.

[Igor Shenderskiy @Gloire_bb]

@Flankerchan HQ-2. HQ-22 is a cheap, mass-produced system, affordable at scale, necessary for a huge country full of targets. HQ-9 is a high level, more expensive system.

China now can afford a lot, but 1-2 decades ago it wasn't quite as flexible.

Finally, some new depictions of the Rassvet Gen1 satellites from Bureau 1440.

Note that it shows 3 solar panels per satellite, while real photos from their separation & ground tests show 4.
Older designs had 3, so it could be a simple mistake, or the model is somewhat old.

@someplaosint Big brahmos can't be integrated into vanilla su-30. Only last several batches of structurally reinforced aircraft.

@RupprechtDeino @RealAirPower1 Replaced is a strong word for a weapon we barely saw

@GuyPlopsky @GZsgallos2007 @aloha9916 Well, that's another way to solve a riddle of 3.

US Space Force now catalogued a total of 10 objects in orbit associated with yesterday's classified Soyuz launch. The last four payloads were seemingly released from the Volga space tug after its propellant-hungry inclination-changing maneuver.

@DayDreamer15k @LIM49Spartan Abakan(98R6E) is affordable light footprint export ABM, S-500(55R6M) is S-500 (domestic heavy system of systems).

The only thing they share is multifunctional 98L6(e) radar, it is only optional/intermediate for S-500 system (it has its own ones).
TEL on photo is not shared.

the astronomy community is getting FED today

@shahpas @Nion0707 Well, speaking of indications, HHQ-9C is THAAD sized.

[Igor Shenderskiy @Gloire_bb]

@Hurin92 @mhmiranusa Check place and what happened there before the war.

It's a remote corner of Iran with significant transborder insurgency. Deploying manpads there risks them getting captured.
Big risk for both Iran and Pakistan

@FennellJW River seems to be best of 26s, and rather attractive too.

[Igor Shenderskiy @Gloire_bb]

@MatejRisko Tbh Baluchistan and parts of Hormozgan at least make practical sense.

But that's land war at scale, and stereotypical slide into decades of 'victory is right over that ridge'.

[Igor Shenderskiy @Gloire_bb]

@DAlperovitch It could've for decades, but for most part it did and does the opposite in its military buildip, assuming US is the saving ticket.
I.e. it is pointless, polar opposite approach more akin to that gulf did.

[Igor Shenderskiy @Gloire_bb]

@MatejRisko @FRHoffmann1 Tbf, until US are responsible for defending gulf nations, I don't think S/A intercept rates and logic are politically acceptable.

Fighting to the last interceptor is one thing, chosing what to intercept when it heads toward a protected nation is completely different optics.

[Igor Shenderskiy @Gloire_bb]

@MatejRisko Strange it appears to not really be aware of being under fire
