Anyways was thinking over the rus ukr war

My understanding is future wars are going to be won by countries who have a strong MIC which can replenish weapons and ammo at the word go with a robust logistics to support till last mile

Artillery is still the god of war but needs to be integrated within OODA loop for greater effectiveness and faster response. And for accuracy otherwise will result in stalemate

Expensive high flying long endurance drones are as of now r best suited for peace time roles. But inexpensive long range suicide drones will definitely make waves

Tactical attack drones will have increased usage and utility

Without overwhelming Air power conflict will stretch long more or less

Persistent overhead watch needs to be there , be it air or space , domination of EW spectrum is also a must

Etc etc

And last but not the least clear cut aims wrt the war

Another NATO order for Rheinmetall Denel Munition!


19 Dec 2022
Major order from a NATO customer

A long-time NATO customer awarded the South African subsidiary Rheinmetall Denel Munition a framework contract for the supply of 155mm ammunition of the proven Assegai product line. The order value is in the mid three-digit million EUR range. The framework agreement was concluded in December and has a term of five years.

GreenandGold:
Something tells me they're headed for Ukraine, now that they have 155mm arty.

This is a highly commendable move. I'm also glad by the lack of pr . I'm result oriented. In as much that we're are focusing on space technology research and development , we need to prioritize another sector of defence which will win us wars in the next decades. Main Battle Tanks development.

We got only two MBTs in the planet that might reach our requirements and we need to seriously ensure we develop something that fits our geography and defence needs.

Lurker4Long:
Nope. I think a NATO country is replenishing inventories, after transferring their own previous stock to Ukraine.
My guess, either Netherlands or Germany.

By SA law, can't sell anything to either Ukraine nor Russia whilst they're at war. That's why a billion's worth of arms exports to Poland has been suspended. They need to give the assurance it won't be diverted to Ukraine.

And yes, we're being absolute hypocrites about this: we continued selling to Saudi and the UAE knowing full well they were using those SA defence products in Yemen!
