hannibal posted:I came here to say something similar, maybe because I also work in defense, but USD A&S is a fairly important position. Also where he came from (and you work) and also his previous job (where I used to work) are well known, important DoD research labs. But I tend to keep up with these things. Hey hey! I was the briefer to the former USD A&S. Ms. Lord was an impressive senior Client and was also very nice to us peons. I used to tell people that it was impressive to see actual qualified and capable people in the Pentagon during those dark days we do not speak of.

Russian is apparently pulling its Strategic Rocket Forces soldiers to fix manpower shortages. That’s normal and not at all a sign of being hosed five ways to Sunday. https://twitter.com/TrentTelenko/status/1569834731944177667

Buddy, if they are scraping their Strategic Missile troops for bodies, they got nothin' left. It takes troops to mobilize new troops. They have none.

Zelensky was in a minor car accident just a little bit ago, apparently. All the news articles are saying there were only minor injuries, but it's a bit of a reminder that the man is, indeed, mortal. Hopefully nothing happens to him... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62910236

Absolutely genius idea I found it adorable, but it seems very few share that sentiment. Couple more photos of their quadcopters in this album. https://imgur.com/a/1TrBiPR They've gotten pretty good with dropping on target too, I made this gif out of some of that footage a few days ago.

Apparently yes and this guy was attached to a MOBILE ICBM UNIT…like Jesus Christ it’s like digging out a missiler from Warren and sending them into Fallujah. Edit: it’s not land the guy apparently said mobile or at least that’s his division, but I’ve read comments (not seen a translated version yet, hopefully Dimitri will do that) that he wasn’t just a base guard.

That's probably correct. Anyway "land-based" includes both silo-based and road-mobile ICBMs (though the US only has the former).

You’re quite right, I‘ve just always viewed mobile as different from silo based, thank you hours of BRAVO ROMEO DELTA and old issues of Soviet Military Power, but yep both would be considered land. I mean besides the MX rail system I don’t think the US ever truly had any mobile ICBMs, IRBMs (Honest John or even GLCMs) yes, but not like the USSR/Former Russian Federation. I think it’s also just the idea of nuclear launch platforms riding around the southwest or Midwest it’s just kind of strange to me to imagine. This is of course with the knowledge of the US having nuclear armed Nike missiles in the New York area and other places, along with nuclear transfer trucks and silos. I guess it’s just mobile in the US just seems so foreign to me.

I don't know how much I consider it a deceptive feint. It has seemed to me to be less a deception and more of a two front attack against an opponent having a really bad time with logistics (what with HIMARS-o-clock and all) forcing them to make a decision on which front loses badly and which one becomes a fight. Russia chose and shipped personnel to one front, where Ukraine is doing some pretty serious fighting, the other was so hilariously under-staffed and degraded that it wasn't possible to fight back.

Even their intelligence agencies suck - in the last two assassinations they carried out (or attempted to), one set of guys got arrested and the other were immediately identified after they fled the country. Combined with excellent OPSEC on the part of the Ukrainians, and probably a healthy dose of  limiting their SIGINT and GEOINT capabilities, and this is the outcome.

This is Michael Kofman's take. It seems to me that such a thing is a natural product of interior lines. Belligerent with interior lines attacks/counterattacks, those attacks discover weaknesses or unexpected strength at one point and can shift soldiers/tactics to avoid the danger and to exploit the weakness.

They found another mass grave in Izuim around 440 graves in one mass area. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/0...?smid=url-share quote:A mass burial ground with about 440 individual graves has been found in Izium in the days since the city, in Ukraine’s northeast, was reclaimed from Russian forces in a lightning offensive last week, a senior Ukrainian police official told Sky News on Thursday. Russia is the true inheritor of the Nazi legacy.
