"Air Power Just Failed Its Biggest Test: What the Iran War Proved About Winning Wars." Very good article. Airpower is "nice" for big powers because it keeps ones personnel losses small. But one should still read the strategy books before starting a war.. https://t.co/TAmaFNOWSf #AirPower #IranWar #MilitaryStrategy #IR

Niemand denkt, dass 🇩🇪 Taurus eine „Wunderwaffe“ ist, ausser Leute die keine Ahnung haben.

Ukraine just destroyed high-value targets in Rostov, including Tu-142 maritime patrol aircraft used to hunt submarines and monitor the seas. These Soviet-era planes are no longer produced, making each loss far harder for Russia to replace. #Ukraine #Rostov #MilitaryStrategy #UA #RU

In recent wargames, Ukrainian drone teams quickly defeated much larger units of NATO forces. The problem is, Russian troops possess comparable experience and drone equipment—and would likely fare much better against European militaries than they do against Ukraine, especially if #UkrainianDrones #NATODefense #MilitaryStrategy #UA #NATO #RU #EU

Max Boot varuje, že Donald Trump čelí složitému dilematu ohledně Iránu, přičemž by měl ignorovat radikální vojenské strategie a místo toho usilovat o diplomatické řešení, protože další vojenské akce by mohly vyvolat katastrofální reakce a dále destabilizovat situaci v regionu. #Iran #DonaldTrump #MilitaryStrategy

U.S. President Donald Trump recently claimed the Iranian navy has been "completely destroyed," leaving only small armed boats known as the "mosquito fleet," which are still considered an effective force capable of disrupting global trade in the critical Strait of Hormuz, where Tehran aims to increase security risks and costs for commercial shipping to pressure Washington into ending its confrontations with Iran. #Iran #MilitaryStrategy #MaritimeSecurity #IR #US #TR #IQ #GB #IL
