Ukrainian crew of L119 light howitzer using a hammer to fire for lack of a trigger component.

Inspiring story of how an attempt to overturn election results in Guatemala was defeated.

An elite Ukrainian brigade staged a daring three-night raid to steal a Russian tank sporting a new drone-jammer. Think 'Oceans 11,' but with tanks and artillery. @forbes #ukraine forbes.com/sites/davidaxe…

Translation of interesting Russian post (shared by IgorGirkin) of how artillery tactics have changed since 2022 due to drones + ammo shortage. Seems Russians particularly dread the French CAESAR howitzer trucks due to range & deploy/undeploy speed.

Goodnews. Without indulging the overhyping of 'game changing weapons', already the small number of ATACMs donated have yielded great results including hitting two dozen landed helicopters in one incident.

Interesting piece on the missiles and drones used on Iran's April 13/14 attack. Shared as gift article, so no paywall. wapo.st/3W4gXx5

Production rate of 10 indigenous 2S22 Bohdana howitzers/month is good news for Ukraine, even if ammo shortage is more critical than guns. Jeff's thread shows how vehicle carriage has evolved substantially in the 9 months since I wrote 2S22 profile below. popularmechanics.com/military/weapo…

On the night of April 13/14 Iran and Houthi rebels launched 320+ kamikaze drones, cruise & ballistic missiles at Israel. 9 made it to target. Read on for breakdown of the ships, missiles and aircraft that fought in this unprecedented air & space battle. popularmechanics.com/military/aviat…

Don't try this at home, folks. Insanely risky drive-by demolition charge attack. Fact this was carried out by territorial troops is mind-boggling.

Drone tactics are evolving fast in Ukraine, with bombers, fighters, interceptors and escorts all emerging -- my take for Forbes @forbes forbes.com/sites/davidham…

Translation of a Russian account describing a drone attack 'carousel' formation employed by Ukraine involving: 1) Baba Yaga/Vampir heavy bomber hexacopters 2) FPV dive bomber (not kamikaze!) drones 3) DJI drones with thermal cams for target acquisition. Effective 6-9 miles deep.

Stryker vehicles with drone-killing 50 KW lasers are already in Middle East. Read on for why that's just the beginning of Army air defense modernization, from microwaves to missile-killing Valkyrie laser truck, Enduring Shield launcher & NGSRI missile. popularmechanics.com/military/weapo…
