Imo,we're too attached to the shiny tools of war fighting than the basics which start with industrial production:ie how much steel can you produce to throw at the enemy? That is the fundamental question of modern warfare! Specops,tacair,LAVs etc, etc do not win wars on their own.
The biggest example of this is taken from the career of Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto,late great CIC of Combined Imperial Fleet in WW2,the brainchild of the IJA's victories in Singapore,Dutch East Indies and S E Asia.

Tbh,his destiny as a fighter against Anglo Zionist domination began early-he was the son of a real samurai which may have set him off on a certain path. In '04 after graduating the Naval Academy he lost 2 fingers aboard the cruiser Nisshin in the pivotal battle of Tsushima straits against Russia,the first major battle field victory of non whites over whites in modern times.

Unlike most of his contemporaries his world view was more attuned with reality as he studied in Harvard and served 2 tours as naval attache. Unsurprisingly HE OPPOSED WAR and as the US led sanctions and finally an oil embargo,(an act of war!) necessitating Pearl Harbour he warned:

In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.

6 months later came Midway,which tbh was bad luck as the local Jap commander got his refuelling planes stuck on deck as the US attacked.

To fight the United States is like fighting the whole world. But it has been decided. So I will fight the best I can.

If we are to have a war with America, we will have no hope of winning unless the U.S. fleet in Hawaiian waters can be destroyed.

He understood from the get go,the new war was one of oil and steel not the bushido way of face to face confrontations with blade and blood. Btw,their navy only had 3 weeks oil reserve with full steaming! I can't find that link,am still looking.

After Midway,the war took its inevitable course. Japan lost the Solomons a few months later and Yamamoto undertook an inspection tour of the South Pacific. This is his last photo.

On the morning of April 18, despite urging by local commanders to cancel the trip for fear of ambush, Yamamoto's two Mitsubishi G4M bombers, used as fast transport aircraft without bombs, left Rabaul as scheduled for the 315 mi (507 km) trip. Sixteen P-38 Lightnings intercepted the flight over Bougainville and a dogfight ensued between them and the six escorting Mitsubishi A6M Zeroes. First Lieutenant Rex T. Barber engaged the first of the two Japanese transports which turned out to be T1-323 (Yamamoto's aircraft). He fired on the aircraft until it began to spew smoke from its left engine. Barber turned away to attack the other transport as Yamamoto's plane crashed into the jungle.

The crash site and body of Yamamoto were found the next day in the jungle of the island of Bougainville by a Japanese search and rescue party, led by army engineer Lieutenant Hamasuna. According to Hamasuna, Yamamoto had been thrown clear of the plane's wreckage, his white-gloved hand grasping the hilt of his katana, still upright in his seat under a tree. Hamasuna said Yamamoto was instantly recognizable, head dipped down as if deep in thought. A post-mortem of the body disclosed that Yamamoto had received two 0.50-caliber bullet wounds, one to the back of his left shoulder and another to his left lower jaw that exited above his right eye. The Japanese navy doctor examining the body determined that the head wound killed Yamamoto. The more violent details of Yamamoto's death were hidden from the Japanese public. The medical report was whitewashed, changed "on orders from above", according to biographer Hiroyuki Agawa.[25][26]

Talk about silver lining in a dark cloud

As we oohed and aahed over the Sues in Syrian skies we missed out a critical aspect: the sortie rate! The ability to turn around aircraft,particularly maintenance heavy -30 series and have them battle ready was truly world class.
In the beginning

Moscow’s forces flew eighty-eight combat sorties while hitting eighty-six ISIS targets in a twenty-four hour span. “In the course of the last 24 hours, Su-34, Su-24M and Su-25SM aircraft performed 88 combat sorties engaging 86 ISIS facilities located in the Raqqah, Hama, Idlib, Latakia and Aleppo provinces,” reads an Oct. 13 Russian Ministry of Defense statement.

While there might be some dispute over whether the Russians are hitting ISIS targets versus other Syrian rebel groups opposed to the Assad regime, if the sortie generation number is accurate—it is an extremely impressive feat. That would put the Vozdushno-KosmicheskieSily Rossii on par with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy in terms of turning aircraft.

Late 2016 they'd sortied more than the US combined in Iraq/Syria .

Russia has now flown more combat air sorties over Syria than the U.S.-led Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) has flown over Syria and Iraq combined....On December 22, Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu said that the Russian Aviation and Space Force (VKS) performed approximately 8,800 combat sorties for 71,000 air strikes

https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2017-01-09/russian-air-power-prevails-over-syria

In Syria the Russians have been conducting as many air strikes a day, up to 96, as the US-led coalition has carried out in a month. This is in marked contrast, Western military planners have noted, to how quickly Nato began to feel the strain when bombing Libya and Kosovo.

That sortie rate is unprecedented! Moreso,given few accidents or casualties can be attributed to it. How many sorties can Uganda manage before they surrender?

From IAF experience Russian aircrafts have low sortie rate unless u r ready to burn lots of spares, manpower time and money.

Ind... first indigenous microprocessor which can cater to civil & military needs was recently devised by an
IIT madras team of scientists & students. This is big achievement becz only few companies worldwide have the capability to design such microprocessors.

The IIT team says its microprocessors can be adapted by others, as the design is open source. They optimise power use and compete with international units such as the Cortex A5 from Advanced RISC Machines (ARM).

On the test bench, the IIT design fared better than the A5, measured in terms of the DMIPS per megahertz rating, scoring 1.68 against the competition’s 1.57. At a frequency of 350 MHz, RISECREEK can meet the demands of defence and strategic equipment such as NAVIC (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite) and Internet of Things (IoT) electronics, its developers say. “Our process helps us develop the processor three times sooner than industry standards,” says Kamakoti Veezhinathan, Professor of Computer Science at the IIT- Madras, who led the project.

The team, led by Dr. Neel Gala, an alumnus of the IIT- Madras, is thrilled, not just because it developed a viable industry grade chip, but also because the process can be tapped for future efforts in semiconductors. “The Shakti plan started in 2014 as an IIT-M initiative. Last year, the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology funded a part of the project,” says Dr. Kamakoti.

The plan includes a family of six types of microprocessors. The first to be ready is the C class, RISECREEK. The E class of microprocessors that can be used in smart cards, IoT devices, fan/motor controls, etc, is almost ready and the I class, which can be used for mobile phones, desktops and mobile phones is soon to follow. The design for the S class which can be used for enterprise class servers is underway, and the H class, which will be used for building High Performance computers with a massive parallel processing capacity.

The H Class is part of the next phase of development, which the team calls the Para-SHAKTI (parallel SHAKTI) project. Para-SHAKTI will make microprocessors for indigenous high-performance computers with over 32 SHAKTI cores.

“The Shakti project is not aimed at only building processors. It also aims to build high speed interconnects for servers and supercomputers based on variants of the RapidiIO and GenZ standards. These are key to build large clusters of processors to get Petaflop and Exaflop level supercomputers,” says Mr. Madhusudan.

With a team of about eight students and three computer scientists, the team used BlueSpec System Verilog language to capture the processor functionality. Everything from that to making the final chip layout was done within the campus. The chip layout was sent to Oregon, to be fabricated by Intel.

Once that was done, mounting the chip on a 10-layer verification board and bringing up the chip was done again at IIT Madras. The board bring- up and booting Linux was done in four days. “There are 70 million instructions from the point we switch on the system till the prompt comes. The chip executed these instructions without any bug at the first shot. This gives a lot of confidence to move ahead,” says Dr. Kamakoti.

Intel has fabricated the chip free of cost, and the team incurred a development cost of about ₹1.2 Crore ( 1,70,000 dollars only ). Regarding vulnerabilities due to outsourcing the fabrication of the chip, he says, “Since the entire design has been developed in-house, it is extremely difficult for a foundry to add backdoors or security vulnerabilities. But yes, an external fab can always induce vulnerabilities. A probable solution for this is to move towards a controlled fab.”

The initial batch of 300 chips, named RISECREEK and produced under Project Shakti, have been fabricated free at Intel’s facility at Oregon, U.S., to run the Linux operating system.

The only downside of this is that India does not have a commercial level chip foundry. Existence chip foundries r all for strategic purposes only.

India has all the technology and knowhow ( around 30% of Intel patents r held by indians ) but it needs to spend 5+ billion dollars to set up a single foundry.

Presently work is on to set up 2 commercial level foundries at a combined cost of 10+ billion dollars. ( At final stages of conceptualization before ground work begins )

Idk if I've mentioned this but do you know the Japs were in the forefront fighting white colonial supremacy from the early 20th century after the battle of Tsushima? See what 2 famous Indians said:

A still young unknown Indian lawyer,Mohandas Gandhi commented,"so far and wide have the roots of Japanese victory spread that we cannot now visualise all the fruit it will now put forth." He later added:“When everyone in Japan, rich or poor, came to believe in self-respect, the country became free. She could give Russia a slap in the face.… In the same way, we must, too, need to feel the spirit of self-respect.”
The then teenage,Jawaharlal Nehru,future extremely cerebral first PM of independent India foresaw his future role,"Indian and Asiatic freedom from the thralldom of Europe." In fact Indian babies were named after Japanese admirals!

They even tried to get racism declared illegal at the League of Nations but prez Wilson,obviously under orders scotched that. Later they funded Black American rights groups and in fact

ot many,even black scholars know of Japanese links with black America during this era. The FBI estimated over a 100 k+ pro Japanese black Americans

After the war thousands of IJA servicemen stayed behind in SEA and helped Burmese,Vietnamese and Indonesians fight for uhuru-you already know the story of the Free India army,ofc. Alas! We never hear of this only BS,about Rape of Nanking,unit 731 supposedly experimenting on Chinese,cannibalism etc.etc the entire gamut of atrocity porn Anglo Zionists lay on their non white enemy.

The real cost of the Yemen war is shocking! Apart from the KIA the Saudis and allies have lost well over a billion dollars in armour. The videos have shown them misusing MRAPs as IFVs attacking contested mountains and paying the price. The skinny Houthis have hundreds of Konkurs and Kornet ATGMs and are making taking a heavy toll since the Saudi coailiton being Arab don't seem to have realised even armour needs flank cover either dismounts but ideally LAVs .

Idk where this M1 was hit.

The last pic is an Emirati Le Clerc knocked out near Marib by a Houthi Metis ATGM team posing with their prey.

https://southfront.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/31.jpg

On the armour losses someone said if the Congolese army even had T 14 Armatas would they use them effectively? True,the Le Clerc is an excellent MBT but no amount of technical wizardry can mitigate basic tactical blunders referred to above.

Edit: Idk why the pic didn't attach. The Saudi coalition have lost 1000 plus pieces of armour incl,MBTs,MRAPs,LAVs and IFVs since 2015. MRAPs are the majority with 600 lost. This year total losses of ALL TYPES are 260 meaning 2018 well may surpass the 2015 record of 400 losses ,all types.

While Arab money trump sense? Will they continue getting million dollar armoured platforms wrecked by tactical lack of awareness or will they wisen up? Your guess is as good as mine.
