Damn it! Dude told me to go to the Philippines years ago. Who knew that Asia is where a man should look!

Western women have painted themselves into a corner they won't be able to get out of. It was background noise a few years ago and now its going mainstream. Shit is gonna be beyond interesting soon.

Unless this is misinformation then good job CIA, bad day for China

Body armor that can stop a 50 cal round?

The thing with the "heavy" body armor is that they're all designed to take the larger rounds at distance. He was 50 ft(?) away so the shock trauma would kill you anyway. What has me spinning is that, if I'm not mistaken, he used at least on ingredient that's common in high end holsters replacing kydex.

She broke her therapist

 

US Army's DeepFires Autonomous Launcher. The Marine Corps should've waited on the Army to develop CREDIBLE deep strike


Most people (including me) ignored the fact that basing an anti-ship missile on the JLTV would size constrain it to such an extent that it would make any missile whether deployed to the naval or ground fight short ranged.

We already have the HIMARS in service which is based on the FMTV so using that platform for deep strike missions should have been a no brainer.

Don't get me wrong.  The improvements to the HIMARS missiles will make it, I hope very credible in the mission set, but the Army is moving toward more capable missiles to assist in both arenas of concern (anti-ship/ground).

Not to turn this into another anti Force Design 2030 rant, but the next issue that is gonna be huge is that the attached air defense is woefully inadequate too.

FD2030 is wrecked beyond belief but they just won't let it go.  I wonder why?

MBDA is doing work in the missile field but I still think the S. Koreans are ahead

I think we're reaching peak castration of men in marriage

How many Battalions would it take to win and control a Favela in Brazil?

 

Trump played the fuck outta the EU. Didn't any of them read the Art Of The Deal?

Perfect victory is to win without firing a shot.

The Europeans acted irrationally, fearfully and in haste.

The proclamations to their citizens (in certain nations) to prepare for conflict and that in the event of war they would seize their property showed exactly how scared they actually were.

From Trump.

The Master Of Twitter.  The sound bite chief.  The ultimate negotiator.

They should be ashamed but instead they chest thump.  Amazing.

Deion Sanders is finally getting some GOOD position coaches....

That's an old skool coach right there.

U.S. Marines with 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division conduct a Mission Master Silent Partner aerial lift rehearsal on a CH-53E Super Stallion with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 466 on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 12, 2026. This training iteration was the first time an unmanned ground vehicle was validated for aerial lift via CH-53E Super Stallion on Okinawa, proving a new option for how to move and deploy this unmanned ground vehicle platform within the First Island Chain.

I don't mind college players getting paid but this is just plain wild....

Dude should have been in the pros or working somewhere if he really did graduate two years ago. Even if he's still playing college ball what happened to working on a Masters?

Rampaging elephant in India

Just plain wild. I would think that a rampaging animal could easily be tracked down and neutralized in this day and age. In the US let one bear go crazy and kill someone and he'll be hunted and killed. Things must be different in India.

China is making a huge push into....MICROWAVE weaponry for use against drones, manned aircraft and even GROUND VEHICLES!

Read it and weep. Remember the microwave weapon that was posted on this blog from a US corporation that many of YOU decided was shit? Well China is rushing whole hog into the concept. Wonder how many of the doubters will now proclaim them to be world beating. On a personal note I've seen enough of this to wonder how we can protect our intellectual property. I hate the "secret" & "classified" designations that are tossed around like potato chips but I have to wonder if national security MIGHT require that the public MIGHT NOT need to know. Every concept, every design, every inkling of an idea the Chinese are vacumming up and at the very least trying to perfect it.

Canada has donated 89 new “ASCV” (Armored Combat Support Vehicles) with really modern technology and protection to Ukraine, but apparently they haven’t fared well.

 

29 tons is now excessive weight? Ukraine is changing everything. Increased electronics (to give situational awareness I assume) makes them easier to detect? Just a few years ago (to include while the war was going on) we or at least me, considered the ASCV to be a good vehicle. Now we're seeing there are issues. They can be corrected but I wonder if it will cheaper just to build new vehicles.
