We're only allies...

    Lessons of Air War In Ukraine

    Anyone can throw around words, but we all know that they will make India their bitch if they had their way. Do you think we have an economic or political clout strong enough to last against US if they decide something against us, without selling our soul? It's better to stay out of these...

    I don't know about Ukraine but we will be booted out of the G20 faster than Russia was booted out of the G8, lol

    It covers a lot of crucial topics in a great way that I won't be able to explain as well.

    For the people of DPR/LPR, that separatism is probably genuine. However, looking at Russia's previous track records, the separatism feels doctored. Here is a video which I think you will enjoy watching: It takes a purely profit-based stance in analysing the Russian motives in the Ukrainian...

    Lessons of Air War In Ukraine

    It takes two to tango, and there are a lot of factors here. Both the Russians and the Americans are playing power games, however I feel bad for the average Ukrainian civilian. For America it is a chance to permanantly confine Russia to their own borders in the European continent. For Russia it...

    Lessons of Air War In Ukraine

    You are correct in this regard, which is where the army aviation comes in. However, fully tying an air force to an army will bring nothing but detriment in the longer run, in the modern era, because air warfare as a doctrine has matured greatly since the times air power was subordinate to the...

    Lessons of Air War In Ukraine

    Which makes sense. Again, I don't know why Russians aren't doing it 🤷‍♂️. It's clearly a problem for their operations. If we were to decode Russia's actions with Clausewitz's philosophy, the Russian actions in Ukraine are a combination of both their political and military intentions. Then...

    Lessons of Air War In Ukraine

    While this is true that you need to know where the SAM is, the HARM does not need the coodinates itself - internal seekerheads inside the missile will home onto the pre-selected(on the ground) type of SAM by cross-referencing it with the internal electronic signature library, and if the SAM goes...

    Different requirements and capabilities. If the Azeris had an active air force, with working planes, I am sure they would have used it: On top of that, Armenia did not have much in the way of air defense to my knowledge. Border harassement with drones in that scenario makes perfect sense...

    Lessons of Air War In Ukraine

    The Russians also can't commit most of their air force, anyway. It's their biggest power projection tool aside from nuclear weapons, since their navy is basically a vegetable right now. As per the HARM - as far as I understand, they basically engineered an adapter like we have, and strapped the...

    Lessons of Air War In Ukraine

    Great article! However, I think this bit is incorrect: I would specifically argue against this. Air power can not be tied into the army, because in war the army has a completely separate set of objectives than the air force. It is true that ultimately only the grunt on the ground has to plant...
