@UAPIntel@MichaelOHogan1@sentdefender Except we've seen it operating in the real world? Unless you're telling me the USS Gerald Ford is just sitting out there doing nothing during the past 3 months of operations?
@Playfra0 I understand their role is a bit different from air assault units or SOF units but I feel like having multiple rapid reactionary forces is hard to manage
@Playfra0 I saw some geo’s of flag raisers in Tors’ke. Any chance those were soldiers that accumulated from the large mechanized assault or just one off infiltrations?
@Playfra0 Weird question but I’ve seen the reports of Ukraine using a lot more UGV’s and even vampires to do logi runs but what’s stopping Russia from tracking these drones and then bombing or targeting where the drones drop stuff off?
@Melbana222@UAControlMap It took 2 months to turn that territory red. Taking it back in 2 weeks allows more defense to be built up and to improve supply situations. Realistically Russia will continue advancing but the question is will it take 2 years or 5 years to finish their goals
@kriegsforscherD Would USV's be a better investment? I know there's geographical advantages of the mountains on the island but I feel like preventing them from landing has got to be the highest priority(using the rivers in Ukraine as an example of the difficulty of crossing bodies of water)
@MITHN504@AndrewPerpetua We've seen both sides learn very fast from each other but
1. Command and control experience takes time to build
2. Russia is fighting an offensive war, defending will take away from those resources
3. Russia has been doing this for a while but not as effectively imo
@clement_molin@clement_molin I'm curious doesn't the heavy bombing with FAB's complicate this defensive strategy since there's less operating room for drone operators and inf?
I feel like you would need some super deeply dug and reinforced holes to effectively hold those positions
@Playfra0 would they be able to retreat without casualties then? Guessing would require appropriate weather and a pretty serious gathering of resources to do so?

1 truck destroyed, 1 APC destroyed and 2 abandoned APC
Not as destructive but typically successful Russian assaults will have the APCs dropping off units and returning back
@TheWalrus83@Tatarigami_UA Trump tweeted several times about Orban and JD Vance personally campaigned with him. I don't think they care about European politics but when Trump rages about NATO and the EU every other day they eventually pick up tidbits
@markvalorian@Osinttechnical It depends on the tank armor, where it's hit and the ammunition. An RPG round in the right spot at the right velocity only needs a hit or two.
It's why you see barn tanks used by both russia and ukraine where tanks just become armored sheds
An F-35A/B Lightning ll made an emergency landing at a U.S. air base in the Middle East this week, after it was struck by what is believed to be Iranian surface-to-air fire, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNN.
Capt. Tim Hawkins, a Spokesman for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said the fifth-generation stealth jet was “flying a combat mission over Iran” when it was forced to make an emergency landing at a base in the Middle East. “The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition,” Hawkins added. “This incident is under investigation.”
