Drones get all the attention, but someone still needs to be in a trench. Incredible endurance by these guys,

Definitely a loaded one!

Wow

Delivery time line?

They've left a bit for another raid

Not to mention the Chinese

And if they don't claim them they don't go through the General Staff loss statistics, but they are losses all the same

Can you see the smoke plumes from Primorsk and Ust Luga in St Petersburg?

Operational tempo starting to take a toll?

💥 The strikes on Russian military factories appear to have had real results.

Military correspondent Romanov reports a serious shortage of missiles for Russia's air defenses, which are no longer able to cope with Ukrainian drone attacks.

Of course this would mean no bases in future

Using General Staff nos I make the tally so far this month 29,930. With a few days left they should top 30k.

FWIW Russia recruited 422k soldiers last year or about 35k pm. Nos are probably down this year and given other sources of wastage the Russians are basically running to stand still.

Don't know why it's taken so long

Exactly this

Not a reliable ally, not a reliable supplier either

And his opinions aren't worth anything

Bonfire of the AD systems continues!

When the US/Israel hit Iran's oil fields thew Iranians hit the Qatari gas fields in retaliation. If the US/Israel hit power plants in Iran what might they do in retaliation? Desalination plants anyone?

Given the quality of US planning to date some outside help might be useful

Yes, as the professional in the room he bears a lot of responsibility. That's unless he was overruled to a ridiculous degree in which case he should have resigned.

Let's hope they find their way

Waiting to see what the debris hits

Beautiful

Japan has a license to produce patriot missiles. Definitely scope to trade

Japan can manufacture PAC-3 interceptors so sound like scope fore a trade

Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.

and no thank you either

Can't have laid many mines then and/or they know where they are

How much do they normally ship?

Based on AIS data, but what if transponders are turned off?
