Indian Stealth UAV. Does anyone else recognize this from somewhere ?
Here is a video. Apparently they're working with Lockheed Martin Canada which will be providing the software.
This is Ukraine's idea of air defense. Keep in mind they're trying to look impressive in this photo. In reality they're actually mostly using WW1 era Maxim machine guns for this role. In some cases they're mounted on sedans like Honda Civics. Hard to believe but true. Makes you wonder, where is...
The recent protests have mostly died down now but there are still intermittent protests throughout the country
Here is an example of one yesterday
The way I look at it, biggest outstanding issue is the deteriorating economy. If something is not done to stabilize the economy then the...
No I meant going up against the fighter jets of western airforces, because export variants are always inferior. On a regional level Iran's airforce can still compete and SU-35s will give Iran a boost.
If Iran could build something that the airforce wanted then why haven't they done it already ...
There's alot of controversy about this guy. I haven't seen it but apparently the evidence against him in overwhelming ? This is what happens when you mess with the powers that be and un-neccessarily bring attention to yourself. Millions upon millions of people adore Greta Thunberg and she has a...
I'm guessing that this is the electrical infrastructure facility mentioned by Rybar yesterday that was allegedly hit by Geran-2 drones. Not sure though.

I honestly cannot believe anything the Ukrainians say. How can it go from 120 missiles down to 69 and apparently 54 out of 69 were shot down (nearly 80%) but 90% of Lviv was left without power and 40% of Kiev. Not to mention every major city in Ukraine acknowledged multiple strikes. How could...
Oryx is very problematic. Some military enthusiasts have even called him out recently. Honestly he's not impartial, he's biased. He constantly promotes the Turkish TB-2 and refuses to acknowledge any losses, even though 20 were lost in Libya and its been well documented. Some say he's sponsored...
I don't know, the military aviation industry has come a long way since the F-4/F-5 were first introduced. With fighter jets like the F-22 and Rafale out there, I think it's time Iran's airforce either builds or acquires new fighter jets using more contemporary designs. Just my opinion.
What I...
He's against Iran importing any new technology when the models built in Iran he's advocating are themselves analogs of previously imported technology. The SU-35's will surely give Iran a huge boost in every way.
Going against western fighter jets from western nations face to face is nearly...
Has anyone else heard about this. It's hard to believe. I wonder if the Turkish authorities were aware of this. If its proven that they were aware they're going to get in alot of trouble for sanctions evasion. The US might even try seizing these planes by pressuring any country they fly to. Or...
40% of Ukraine is left without power after the latest Russian missile barrage. Russia launched over 120 missiles at Ukraine.
This is after Ben Wallace, the defense minister of the UK, recently stated that Russia was incapable of conducting another massive missile attack because their...
What is the world coming to ? The most developed nations will soon develop robotic armies. Whomever controls the semiconductors will likely rule the world. A few years ago this might have sounded ridiculous, but not anymore. Just imagine mounting a rifle, autocannon or ATGM on something like this.
The head of Mozart PMC Private Military Company), an American/British mercenary group who recently withdrew from Bakhmut after coming face to face with Russia's Wagner PMC, says that "Ukraine is a f#cked up society run by f#cked up people" He goes on to admit that Ukrainian soldiers are...
Geran-2/Shahed-136 strikes reported in Ukraine
According to Rybar:
Last night, the RF Armed Forces attacked the facilities of the Ukrainian army with a multitude of kamikaze UAVs. Some of them shot down air defense systems, but the devices reached their target in Dnepropetrovsk, the...
