Czech Republic makes blistering statement in defense of the fallout from the F-35 vs Rafale "dogfight"

Interesting. I haven't seen an F-35 customer speak up so forcefully in defense of this airplane before. They're European too so that's kinda surprising and won't make the French happy.

Thanks to Dom van der Goore for the link!
So the Army now has an "organic" swim capability.  Don't underestimate it either, the Royal Marines use similar vehicles to swim to shore (or they did at one time)...

More articles about Marines hitting Venezuela are hitting X...

Not the type activity that Force Design 2030 is setup to deal with. Wonder why the premier land force in the world, the US Army, hasn't picked up this mission especially since the Marine Corps just does littorals and sea control now.

You heard an MEU is headed to S. America to fight cartels? Well Venezuelan Special Forces with Chinese gear is mobilizing in response...

 

Cartels have shot down a police helicopter in Colombia, a truck bomb went off down there and now this. The response to what looks like an immenint US action is telling. It won't be easy conventionally, but the land forces dedicated to this is kinda skimpy. Makes me wonder if all this is for JSOC support and I'm guessing Special Forces/Rangers are already on the ground.

Some information on the Chinese Fourth Generation Tank ZTZ-201...via Reddit Tank Porn

Information below is sourced from this Chinese video, I cannot guarantee accuracy I am only here to translate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qun3GcxBWM

Please note that Im not very certain of the meaning of some Chinese tank terminologies (especially technical stuff), they are indicated in "" quotations

Features:
4 "Phased Array Radars" on each corner of the turret
Crewless turret
Various "optical censors" that transmit the video footage 360 all around the tank to the driver, has thermals
2 GL6 Active Protection System launchers on top of the turret
"Automatic anti-drone equipment" at the back of the turret that uses some laser technology to fight drones

40 Tons
105mm cannon
Alleged 1706ms muzzle velocity, the person in the video claims hence the power is similar to the NATO 120mm and Russian 125mm

The video then goes on to talk about the tank more ill just translate the important points, take it with a grain of salt

-Since the Russian T-14 Armata is unable to go into serial production, the ZTZ-201 will be the first fourth generation tank to enter service

-This tank is going to the Victory day parade on the 3rd of September, meaning that the tank is already in service, since prototypes or test vehicles are never paraded

-Why is the tank smaller/lighter? It improves its mobility and deployment range, the Y-20 can carry two ZTZ-201 tanks at the same time, making it way more mobile than the ZTZ-99A

-The price for one ZTZ-201 is only A THIRD of the price of a ZTZ-99A (idk man Im equally shocked as you reading this, take it with a grain of salt)

-It provides the PLA with a more versatile tank in various battlefields such as street fighting in Taiwan, whether it be some basements or alleyways. The 99A on the otherhand seems useless in comparison.
