1) No, this doesn't threaten the U.S dollar as the world's reserve currency. They're exaggerating because that's their grift strategy to get and keep viewers. 2) If Americans became poor overnight, China would be in huge trouble. We're the largest single export partner for China. U.S...

That's actually pretty impressive for MENA. It seems like very few North African militaries worry about the fundamentals and importance of communication systems in combat. Very nice for Algeria to have a solid radio and computer production lines. Hopefully they keep developing the Cyber and...

The vast majority of Iran's oil and by extension government revenue comes from an Arab province... Ahwaz. I imagine Ahwaz Arabs prefer their oil revenue be spent on other Arabs as opposed to helping the Persians occupying them.

I doubt that. Russia's use of attack helicopters has dramatically fallen from the beginning of the war, they get picked off pretty easily due to a proliferation of MANPADs. Lancet drones are few and far between. They really haven't been deployed on the mass scale that would be expected of...

Still no magazine pouches on body armor. A bayonet but no optics... really? Do they seriously still not see the issue?

While still being non-Nuclear? I guess that's fine if they don't plan on straying too far in a combat situation. But it's not great for future system improvements. The most crucial part of the sea trials will be the stress testing for the EMALS by far. So it's interesting how quickly they're...

Is there any plan to transition to standard gauges or will they be sticking to Indian gauge for all new/updated railways?

Considering they have a pretty large sovereign wealth fund, I doubt it. It's worth over 300 Billion dollars.

And this is on the basis of what logic exactly? Nope. Definitely not. It's more so. Sectarianism has creped into every corner and crevice of government institutions. I'm replying to someone talking about making an autonomous Iraqi province similar to the KRG on the basis of their sect. What...

Iraqi Sunnis are screwed beyond belief. They would have no ability to maintain a defensive force of their own, let alone gain autonomy. Both the Iraq invasion and war against Daesh has bled Iraqi Sunnis absolutely dry. None of the men remaining are willing to fight especially considering that...

What?

Turkey actually is developing those things. It's obvious that the GCC ruling class have zero principles have sold out any sensible foreign policy in favor of complete Israeli bootlicking. And no, buying from the U.S, U.K, or France is not the same as supporting Israel. Because these countries...

Superstar? She's definitely not one. As for her switching... who cares?

I'm honestly surprised how little interest there seems to be for the JF-17 by Egypt. It seems to be a good fit for them. A low cost multi-role that complements the F-16 would be a shoe in to replace the mirages that Egypt operates. Egypt could get a pretty big order especially considering how...

That's obscene. The UAE and Saudi Arabia really are just striking wildly without care.

A good choice. The EAF uses its legacy C-130s a lot. These will work really well alongside those C-295s.

Except there haven't been comprehensive studies. Its another one of their pet projects in flights of fancy by their privileged and spoiled crown princes that they half-assedly conjured up. And they are surrounded by yes men who are too scared to tell them that these ideas are just dumb. 90% of...

I hope not. The hyperloop is untested garbage. Rail is an actual viable solution. NEOM is also garbage for largely similar reasons.

Care to expand on that thought chief? If I'm missing something crucial here, I would like to be read in.
