When the Russo-Ukrainian war ends, Ukraine will emerge as Europe’s most battle-tested military power.
The irony is extraordinary.
Russia invaded Ukraine to keep it weak, dependent, and outside the Western sphere.
Instead, it forged a hardened nation, armed it, united it, and turned it into a major military power.
Few strategic mistakes in modern history can compete with that.
I have made my paid optics articles free to read.
This should be a good opportunity to get a clear and accessible overview of optics, especially CPO.
I doubt anyone here missed it, but just in case you did, please don’t miss this chance.
BREAKING: All the grass on the White House lawn has been utterly destroyed by Trump's stupid UFC ring.
You can be assured this will somehow cost millions more in taxpayer dollars to fix.
It is just the latest disaster in Donald Trump's never-ending trail of destruction.
He's ruined so many beautiful things around Washington and around the nation, all because he is a stupid, selfish, narcissistic pedophile with the taste and maturity of a twelve-year-old.
Can you imagine the right-wing response if Obama had done even ONE of these things?
He likes to call himself a builder. But destruction follows wherever he goes.
Ukraine has just done something astonishing.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has just launched TrophyLab - essentially making access to all captured Russian weapon technologies free for foreign governments, research institutions and the defence industry.
They will even send physical hardware to allies for examination and to rip it apart to discover Russian military secrets. As well as technical specifications, blueprints and research results.
The website includes listings for armoured vehicles, missiles, aircraft, UAVs, EW assets, UGVs, cruise missiles etc.
Governments usually want to keep this kind of captured tech a secret for its own advantage. Ukraine has decided to make it (relatively, I think) open access for the benefit of the West.
