Muzaffarabad is the largest city in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. These reported explosions could be the beginning of an Indian strike- which has been widely expected - or could be something else. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

The first Russian loss of a 9K512 Uragan-1M. It can be considered an approximate Russian equivalent of HIMARS. They are supposed to replace both BM-27 Uragan and BM-30 Smerch. IISS data might be a bit old, but they claim that Russia had 6 of them

That China is copying things that work (in this case publicly known aspects of Starlink design that make it more cost-effective) isnt a surprise.

The results summary of Birds of Magyar (the Ukrainian 414th drone strike brigade)

If Russia keeps using this tactic, I am sure that HUR and SBU will be more than happy to continue trading some of its USVs for some Russian helicopters and jets (the cost difference is massive).

An interesting article about the desire to put datacenter into space - IMO, it seems unlikely that this would be cheaper than just building and using massive-scale renewable facilities here on the Earth. arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

While the US Army is transforming by abandoning some underperforming equipment, the Russian Army is transforming its mechanized infantry towards "BMP-4" and "BMD-5".

The monthly update of Oryx Russian loss list infographics from @valka_online is now online note: we have added many more old losses than usual over the past month. The recent loss rates continue to be relatively low. oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/atta...

So much for all the whinng that it is impossible to confiscate such assets. Now, just hand over all the rest of the frozen Russian assets to Ukraine... www.reuters.com/business/fin...

The absurd thing is that "There is no military solution" has been infamously said many many times (mostly as an excuse by people who just didnt want to do anything about Assads large-scale war crimes) about the Syria Civil War,

I expect Q2 to be worse due to all the stupid trade disruptions I hope that all those US citizens who voted R or didnt vote are paying attention to the latest "elections have consequences" lesson...

Even UA MoD claims of Russian losses for anything except infantry and light vehicles fell off a cliff

Dedicated strike UAV units have proven to be very effective and efficient in Ukraine, but are still pretty much absent in Western armies. I wonder when the 1st NATO army establishes a strike UAV battalion or a brigade.

IMO, this one can be considered a "maneuver kill" on the Houthi scorecard.
