So Russia has delivered and Iran has activated the S-400 Triumf system near its Isfasan nuclear site? Well, while that is good news, it still needs a layered defense to leverage and maximize the 400km kill zone ratio the new Rus tech offers. The likes of BUK, Tor, Pantsir, and even the HQ-9 from China can form the cornerstone of the layered dragnet.

It's gone on for far too long. It's crazy how this once powerful empire declined so rapidly and became a shadow of her former self.

Ukrainian intel chief Budanov:

Russia wants to be ready to fight NATO by 2030. That is their number one objective, which is outlined in their official documents.

⚡Hamas says it will not disarm unless an independent Palestinian state is established.

One thing I've observed over the years is that the US Army is not prepared for a high intensity battle like the one in Ukraine.

Their training primarily focuses on anti terrorism. Where the opposing side are poorly equipped. Mostly special forces raid using only rifles and night vision. Seems like they're only training for ragtag terror groups.

I've never seen a US Army training that involved lots of tanks, drones, heavy mortar, rocket artillery launchers or even their HIMARS..... on a large scale. I mean lots of military equipment or even trench warfare training.

But every Russian Army training I've seen, looks like an actual war. Tanks, IFVs, drones heavy artillery launchers and several missile complexes.

Russia trains with rockets, drones and missiles.... The US trains with guns and night vision lmaoo

⚡“He wanted Rafales — and got one”

Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Chief Sidhu wanted Rafales downed — and he got one.

A J-10C using a PL-15 missile allegedly shot it from ~200km away, shocking the global defense community.

“He wanted Rafales,” said a PAF official.

“We ambushed them.”

India underestimated the PL-15’s range and paid the price. Their intel said 150km — the real range was much more. The Rafale pilots didn’t see it coming.

“The winner… had the best situational awareness,” said UK Air Marshal Greg Bagwell.

⚡Europe’s 6th-gen fighter jet project FCAS is on the brink of collapse

The €100 billion Future Combat Air System (FCAS) — Europe’s most ambitious defense project — is unraveling due to a leadership and industrial split between Germany and France.

Airbus Defence CEO Michael Schöllhorn just fired a blunt warning to German Chancellor Merz:

“Unless we return to the agreed principles and actually implement them, we no longer see a basis for continuing FCAS.”

The main issues?

Dassault vs Airbus: Dassault wants to lead the NGF jet as main contractor (citing Rafale experience), while Airbus demands fair industrial share.

IP rights: Germany wants full access to tech. France isn’t budging.

UK and her cunning diplomacy. They now want to pit India against China.

Could you please provide your link to the story of Russia's successful delivery of very enriched Uranium to Iran?
I know LordAdam16 mentioned it the other day but I thought it's just hearsay

So, Trump apparently woke up and decided that deploying submarines against Russia was a wise move all because of an online spat with Medvedev.
He should understand that sending SSNs, SSBNs or even conventionally armed SSGNs toward Russia can easily be interpreted as a nuclear threat, given that all are capable of carrying nuclear payloads.
I hope he's doing all this just to get Putin's attention.

Threatening Russia with nuclear weapons is like poking a dragon with a matchstick,
It’s not just unwise... it’s how barbecues become history lessons.

⚡Ukraine started to cut down “Russian trees”

About 70 trees were encircled and eliminated by heroic warriors. The trees had no chance.

"These trees were planted during the Soviet era without any need," said Vladimir Remenyak, head of the Horodok City Council in the Lviv region of Ukraine.

Another official, Tatyana Gretsko, added that the trees reminded people of the NKVD and KGB activities during the Soviet rule, and such forests are not found in the squares of European and Ukrainian cities.

LordAdam16:
They need density.

More of everything they can lay their hands on.

China would have to expedite deliveries. Only they can send enough to blanket all of Iran on short notice.

China has a missile force deployment in Saudi Arabia.
A relic of the Cold War era.
This was a foundational reason for Saudi Arabia orchestrating the Iran-SA detente.
With SA opting for US air defense systems, China has no constraints in supplying ADs to Iran.
Still, for at least courtesy sake they'll have to hash things out with the Saudis.

China has nuclear capable missiles operated by Chinese troops in Saudi Arabia while simultaneously providing ancillary targeting services to Iran for their homegrown missiles.

Enter the S400 Triumf. This changed everything. Whatever doubts anyone may have regarding the Chinese armaments are erased as the Triumf fills in the gap with its tried and tested capabilities.

It gets even scarier for the enemy and better for Iran with something else...

Because you need like four to protect any important things
