Procashtips: True. This is my point. While they focused on drone and missile technology, Russia and China should have covered their flanks by providing world-class weaponry in areas where they are lacking. -Lord 2 Likes |

emmaodet:Yea, they go around the globe increasing tensions and provoking conflicts, and when the countries in question retaliate, they make a 'surprised Pikachu face' and blame them for "unprovoked aggression". Then they use their media to paint a completely opposite and false picture of reality to convince most of their 'not so bright' citizens and the visa hungry, pro-western Dumbo's here. There's this video on YouTube of a Canadian and American surveillance plane (two separate videos) flying somewhere in the south China sea with media crew on board, filming and reporting mid air. The reporter was whining about a Chinese fighter jet intercepting and flying "dangerously close" to the plane, accusing the Chinese pilots of "provocative and aggressive behavior". And people in the comment section were asking very important questions. What are US/Canadian plane doing there in the first place? And did the interception taking place around US/Canadian territory? Or close to Chinese territory? And concerning Ukraine, the plans to use Ukraine as a proxy to "extend Russia" is also on paper. This paper was published in 2019, even before the SMO began. 6 Likes 2 Shares

⚡Britain has announced the possibility of sending its DragonFire laser weapon, which can shoot down drones, to Ukraine, The Telegraph reports. London plans to introduce the new weapon into its army by 2027. But its prototypes could be sent to Ukraine even sooner, British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps says. What makes DragonFire special is its cheapness. It is said to cost £10 per shot.

⚡Russian air defence system, trainers arrive in Niger Russian military instructors have arrived in Niger with an air defence system and other equipment as part of the West African nation’s deepening security ties with Moscow, state television announced late on Thursday. Niger’s military government agreed in January to step up security cooperation with Russia, after expelling French forces that were helping fight jihadist rebellions in several Sahel nations. On Friday, African Corps — seen as the successor of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group in Africa — confirmed it had arrived in Niger. https://twitter.com/SputnikInt/status/1778556292371480892 7 Likes 3 Shares |

⚡⚛ NUCLEAR EMERGENCY IN POLAND AFTER RUSSIAN KH-47 KINŽHAL HYPERSONIC MISSILE ATTACK: 17 billion cubic meters of natural gas blown up near Lvov. At dawn, Russia achieved the largest strategic strike in Ukraine in history, when it destroyed the largest underground gas storage in Bilche-Volitsko-Uher in the city of Stryjak near Ľvov with Kh-47 Kinzhal supersonic missiles and Kh-101 cruise missiles, along with 17 billion cubic meters stored gas. The attack came from three different sides. The destruction of natural gas, combined with Russia's inability to supply new gas, means that Ukraine is "done" from an energy perspective. A total of eight MiG-31 fighters carrying Kinzhal and Kh-101 aircraft hit the stack, causing a nuclear-like mushroom cloud visible from Poland, 100 km from the Ukrainian border. The tank was located at a depth of 50 meters from the surface of the earth, which did not prevent Kinžal from going through the stony ground "like a knife through butter" and exploding into the tank. In Poland, radiation measurements began after what initially appeared to be a nuclear attack there, but this has not been confirmed. The country currently has less than half of its gas reserves, and after the destruction of the reservoir, it cannot even be supplied from the European market. 6 Likes 1 Share

Fash20:There are several rules of engagement. Remember when Iran struck Pakistan? Did Pakistan wait for weeks before they respond? Yes, they're calculating the retaliation for any strike that'll be coming from the Israellis, this is why they need a deterrence and they need it fast. Time is running and if Iran thinks they can stand the west like Russia is doing then they're mistaken. 4 Likes |
