So Israel retaliates against Iran. YOU DO KNOW this is all fucking theater don't you???
I don't know what games are being played with people's lives in the Middle East but I do know that games are being played. These strikes and counter strikes by Iran and Israel are nothing but theater. I have never seen a SERIOUS military force telegraph an attack as well as the Israelis have but here we are. If they were serious they would have taken out nuclear facilities. They didn't. If they wanted to cripple Iran's economy they would have gone after their oil and port facilities. They didn't. Hamas is dogshit and the Palestinian people are stupid as fuck for following them but the Palestinians should be advised. They're suffering for people that don't give a fuck. Its readily apparent that NONE of the Arab nations actually care and the same can be said of the Persians. They're a tool and Gaza is the battlefield.USA, Pentagon:

Damn. Fines in a war zone....A neat road sign erected in Saint- Sauveur-le-Vicomte, France in July 1944.
Are wheeled IFV/APC an evolutionary dead end???
Using this as an example only. A Leopard MBT next to a Boxer IFV. |
Have forces around the world globbed onto a concept just for shits and giggles and haven't actually looked at the combat performance of the thing?
I'm looking at the wheeled IFV trend.
The vehicles are freaking huge. They're touted as having the same cross country performance of tracked vehicles cross country but most nations are still supplementing them with tracked IFVs.
From what I've seen (and I might be wrong) they're rather awkward in urban environments and the inability to skid steer is definitely a weak spot.
Their main advantage is in long range travel and higher ground clearance for added mine resistance.
But the threat has changed. Mines are so "war on terror" and the next war will probably be a drone and direct/indirect fire fuck fest.
For US ground forces in particular its a huge risk to depend on wheels when maneuver is the mantra used by everyone.
Mobility kills or denied terrain due to the capability of your force is a deadly thing.
Ukraine pleads for more Western support as Russian drone and missile strikes intensify
via bfbs forces news
A major Russian attack involving more than 100 drones against 15 Ukrainian regions has triggered a renewed call from Kyiv for more Western support to help defend the nation.
Multiple areas were targeted overnight by Russian forces, resulting in damage to commercial and residential buildings, with at least eight people being injured.
Despite shooting down 78 out of 105 Russian drones and jamming 23 others, President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted more help is still needed to protect Ukraine.
At what point is enough enough? Is there no limit? Should western nations empty out their war stock in order to support Ukraine?
Tunnel fights must be absolutely horrific...
The IDF releases footage of a Hezbollah tunnel system located by special forces during commando operations in southern Lebanon earlier this year, after the site was recently demolished.

Don't know if this is true but Hamas might be broken in Gaza. Hundreds of terrorists are surrendering after IDF says "surrender or die"
Breaking: Hundreds of Hamas terrorists have begun surrendering to the IDF in Northern Gaza.

AAVs and ACVs at Camp Schwab Beach....pics by Cpl. Michael Taggart
U.S. Marines execute an amphibious landing with an Amphibious Combat Vehicle at Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 16, 2024. While deployed, the ACV is certified to conduct a wide range of mission sets, including open water, protected water, and land-based operations. Amphibious operations, including the use of ship-to-shore connectors, is a foundational aspect of Marine Corps operations and is critical to remaining the Nation’s premier expeditionary force in readiness. The Marines are with 4th Marine Regiment, 3d Marine Division. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Michael Taggart)
Another Russian Flag Officer assassinated...
When this war is over I would luv to read how the Ukrainians were able to penetrate Russia and kill so many high ranking officers. The weird thing? I hope our military and NOT law enforcement officials are studying this thing. Can you imagine how many of our flag officers could get got if we were to actually fight someone serious? Our only saving grace is that we have so many generals that you could kill 3/4ths of them and it wouldn't affect our combat efficiency.🔥☠️ Luhansk. Today, the chief of staff for military service and security of military unit 53847, Major Pervukha Dmytry was eliminated. His car exploded in the city center. pic.twitter.com/LMRMuUI2Jo

North Korean Regular Army Soldiers are in Russia drawing gear to join the fight...
I wonder how many Chinese "observers" are located at various command posts & with Russian frontline troops. The North Koreans might be the face but you can bet that China is providing the funding. Between the continous drama in the Middle East and this fight in Europe, the US is having its stockpile of weapons decimated and the pivot to the Pacific once again stalled. WE HAVE GOT TO PRIORITIZE! In this case it would make more sense for the EU to fully fund Ukraine, and the US to take care of the Middle East and do our Pacific thing.❗️Soldiers from the 🇰🇵DPRK are already dressed in 🇷🇺Russian uniforms, the cadres have no more than 72 hours, - SPRAVDI.
