  1. Fascinating. This may have been one of the first (maybe even the first) real midcourse ballistic missile shootdown in the history of warfare.
  2. Various German news media are reporting that providing KEPD Taurus to Ukraine is now seriously being considered by the German government. One question seems to be the option of "geoblocking" Russian territory for the missiles, which is currently discussed with the German industry. If this is true, this obviously raises the question if this includes Crimea. Have there been any confirmed Storm Shadow strikes on Crimean territory so far? I'm wondering what the "unofficial", "internal" definition of Russian territory for Western governments is right now...
  3. "These Ungrateful Ukrainians": Polish edition. Looks like a narrative is starting to form. https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-summons-polish-ambassador-over-presidential-aides-call-to-start-appreciating-polands-help/
  4. According to Ukraine, this was the submarine commander responsible for the missile strike on Vinnytsia, almost exactly a year ago. You might remember the picture of of the baby stroller with little feet sticking out of it.
  5. That's not surprising. US & Western Europe sent a lot of equipment that needs extensive training and preparation before it can be shipped, so the time between announcing a particular system for Ukraine and delivering it will be quite high. Eastern Europe sent a lot of former Soviet equipment that needs little or no training, so deliveries can be done much faster.
  6. This is where I remind you that Timothy Snyder predicted something like this last October. https://snyder.substack.com/p/how-does-the-russo-ukrainian-war
  7. Like any good Muscovite, in these troubling times, we should stay calm, wait how things play out and watch the ballet.
  8. The question is, which side is Putin really on?
  9. It's all coming together. NATO reinforcements flowing into Europe for BALTOPS and Air Defender 23 as deterrence in case things get crazy in Moscow during the counteroffensive. Things actually going crazy in Russia during the counteroffensive. The offensive itself switching into high-gear.
  10. Aha, so it's true 3D, that makes sense, thanks!
  11. One thing I never understood: Why do they even use VR-like goggles for the FPV drones? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just have the drone camera view on a smartphone or tablet screen?
