Ukraine has just deployed a battlefield technology that feels like a mix of science fiction and a game of Call of Duty. According to The Times, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have introduced a new system that radically changes the rules of modern warfare. A single operator can now control an entire swarm of drones in real time, see the battlefield through artificial intelligence, receive instant targeting data, and coordinate strikes with sniper-level precision. What once required dozens of personnel and hours of planning can now reportedly happen within seconds. Russian troops are already referring to it as “the Ukrainian digital hell.”

Question: what's worth fighting for? Follow up question: what do you mean by "fighting?" (Working really hard, punching someone in the face, getting punched in the face, killing for, dying for)

@KTB_500 @jameskgreer77 @infantrydort @OwlRadiant @peoples_unicorn The battlefield keeps getting deeper and deeper as the unmanned contact layers extends.

@jameskgreer77 @infantrydort @MitchellMyers9 @OwlRadiant @peoples_unicorn And extend the battlefield to true Division Depth...

For 20 years the Army stayed busy “DOING”: Raids. Convoys. Chai diplomacy. Dismounted COIN. We promoted the kings of that fight and called it leadership. Cold, hard truth: In LSCO, none of that wins. Only the ABCT wins. Tanks punching through at 40 mph. Bradleys shredding defenses. Engineers breaching under fire. Paladins dropping steel by the battalion, Dismounted infantry clearing restricted terrain. That is the only formation that breaks a peer enemy and keeps breaking him. Everything else is supporting cast. We must have it, but it can't win. We have atrophied the leaders who know how to command that fight. Worse: too many can’t maintain their own equipment unless it’s to turn a PowerPoint bubble green. The leaders we need are the ones who fix tracks at 0300 in a Polish rain because their life—and their troopers’ lives—depend on it. It’s time to fix the pipeline—NOW. Promote the officers and NCOs who honed their craft in ABCT mud, gunnery tables, NTC breach lanes, and wrench-turning until the fleet is combat-ready—not slide-deck ready. Reward the maintainers, the maneuver killers, the ones who live for phase lines and dead enemy divisions. Prioritize winners who keep iron rolling and enemies dying. Because the next war won’t be won by those who “did a lot.” It will be won by those who know how to WIN with armor. Armor or die. #ABCTorBust #LSCO #PromoteTheWinners

Urban warfare is going to look different soon. @KTB_500

@KTB_500 @jameskgreer77 To clarify, what level of leadership are you talking about sir?

"If mission command is to remain more than a definition in a doctrine publication, leaders must have the freedom to act without constant validation. This requires more than restraint from higher headquarters. It requires designing systems and practices that preserve autonomy even in a connected environment. Visibility should not default to control." mwi.westpoint.edu/cognitive-frat…

YES I AM SAYING THIS! 🚨If you have to TURN DOWN the Rheostat of the OPFOR you didn't train Your Unit well enough!🇺🇸‼️ It is not the responsibility of the Operations Group or OCs to Train your Unit, it is the Leadership of the Training unit. You can't expect miracles in 10 days when the past year didn't yield results. OWN IT, then FIX IT! ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! #ARMY #fixit #ArmyTransformation

"Before the 11th ACR 'Blackhorse' owned the Mojave as the ultimate OPFOR, the National Training Center was forged in the fire of ad-hoc Soviet-style battalions and brigades that didn't pull punches. But today? We've dialed back the rheostat so far the OPFOR rolls in outnumbered 3:1 with T-55 knockoffs against M1s—yet we still hear the same tired excuses: 'They know the terrain.'Bullshit. The enemy won't wait for us to feel comfortable. They won't turn down their lethality so we can 'succeed.' My latest deep dive exposes the real history of NTC's OPFOR evolution—and why watering it down is betraying the force that must WIN THE FIRST FIGHT. Read it. Share it. No more excuses. Adapt or die. #NTC #OPFOR #Blackhorse #Allons #ArmyTraining #Warfighting #Lethality #TrainToWin #NoExcuses #AdaptOrDie #CTC #ArmyTransformation

@glennbeck It is THE primary duty of a State to distinguish its citizens from non-citizens.

By passing this one act, the GOP will save the republic AND rescue the GOP. If they fail, we all fail. 80% off all Americans want this - you need ID for everything except voting. There is only one reason not to pass this and we all know what it is. GOP save the republic, save the Republican Party from itself. PASS THE SAVE ACT.

It is difficult to estimate exactly how important this is! Congratulations @KTB_500, this did not happen without a sustained, massive effort, and a willingness to push through much resistance.

@KTB_500 BLACKHORSE is going to save the Army!!! I'm so proud to have been part of a unit with such a critical mission! ALLONS!!!!

Highlight reel I TRP!

The Bethlehem manger wasn't random; it was prophetic. A lot of folks don't realize that when the Bible talks about Jesus being laid in a manger, the Greek word for it is "phatne," which just means a feeding trough. In Bethlehem back then, these were often carved from stone. What's really striking about this is the shepherds around there. They raised lambs specifically for Temple sacrifices. Right after birth, they'd check each lamb for any flaws and put the perfect ones in a manger to keep them safe from getting hurt, since only spotless lambs could be used in offerings to God. So here comes the Lamb of God himself, placed in the exact spot where those sacrificial lambs were protected. And who do the angels tell about his birth? Not rulers or religious leaders, but these shepherds, guys who knew all about sacrifice, blood, purity, and flawless lambs. When the angels said, "You'll find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:12), it clicked for them right away. This wasn't some ordinary child. He was the ultimate Lamb, the one who'd remove the world's sin. From day one, Jesus was set apart for sacrifice, not by people, but by God. "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29) *Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas!

@KTB_500 There is alternative... you could just pile the bodies high enough to creat a bridge over the obstacle. #RUSMILSTYLE

**🚨 U.S. ARMY MANEUVER IS DYING IN THE DEAD ZONE – AND TWO OVERLOOKED REALITIES ARE THE KILLERS 🚨** We keep pretending Large-Scale Combat Ops (LSCO) will look like Desert Storm: massed fires, perfect sync, breaches under a tidy smoke curtain. Reality from CTCs and Ukraine: It's a transparent slaughterhouse. Two intertwined blind spots are guaranteeing failure in the contested gray/dead zone – where every future breach will happen: 1/ **We've gutted organic smoke.** Post-COIN "efficiencies" and green policies killed dedicated smoke platoons, vehicle generators, and multispectral obscurants. The 11th ACR has the **ONLY smoke platoon left in the entire U.S. Army** – and we validate every rotation that without it, maneuver dies exposed. Soldiers cross open ground naked to drones, ATGMs, and precision fires. Breaches? Forget it. 2/ **Artillery can't survive to deliver the smoke (or HE) we desperately need.** Traditional PAAs are pre-dug graves. Drones spot thermal flashes in minutes – counterfire arrives before your second volley. Forced hyper-dispersion (single guns over 50-100 km²), 30-50 km standoff, and mandatory shoot-and-scoot shred sustained fires. You can't build or maintain a smoke curtain when tubes are running for their lives and prioritizing survival over volume. Combine them: Breaches deep in the dead zone require **sustained 3D obscuration** to blind overhead drones + ground observers while engineers reduce obstacles and assault forces pass lanes. With no ground smoke and artillery too hunted to sustain missions? **Probability of timely, effective distant smoke + HE suppression: <20%.** Result: Stalled breaches, shredded lead companies, momentum lost, higher plan collapses. We've seen it every rotation: Units die crossing the gray without cover. Ukraine screams the same lesson nightly. This isn't a "nice-to-have." **Obscuration is the enabler for maneuver warfare.** No cloak = no penetration = attrition hell. **WAY AHEAD – URGENT, NO EXCUSES:** - **Revive dedicated smoke capability NOW:** Rebuild Chemical Corps platoons/brigade-level obscuration companies with modern generators, multispectral pots, and drone-delivered options. Resource them like we resource Javelins. - **Force artillery survivability realism at CTCs:** Kill lazy PAAs with OPFOR drones/Lancets. Train dispersed, mobile fires as default – or keep breeding complacency. - **Update doctrine & training:** Bake layered obscuration (ground + projected + EW/deception) into every SOSRA rehearsal. Make smoke priority #1 in fire plans, not an afterthought competing with HE. - **Fund & field fixes yesterday:** Multispectral smoke rounds, vehicle-mounted systems, counter-drone integration for smoke trucks. Maneuver warfare dies without obscuration in the transparent battlefield. We're overlooking the combo that's already killing us in training – imagine against a peer. **Fix it before the first real breach turns into a graveyard.** Adapt or soldiers die exposed. #SmokeOrDie #ArtillerySurvivability #LSCO #DeadZone #ManeuverWarfare #UkraineLessons #CTCTruth #11thACR @CasualArtyFan @jameskgreer77 @SpencerGuard @SecWar

@CynicalPublius We'll see...

This is the sort of winning that the Trump Administration achieves daily. It goes under the news radar, but is transformational in the best way possible. Enjoy.

🚨BREAKING: SBU UNDERWATER DRONES DESTROY RUSSIAN SUBMARINE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY A Russian submarine used to launch Kalibr cruise missiles at Ukraine has been blown up by SBU underwater drones. The Varshavyanka-class submarine, valued at around $400 million, sustained critical damage. It was taken out by the now-notorious Sub Sea Baby drones, previously used to strike Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” oil tankers. With international sanctions in place, building a replacement submarine could now cost Russia up to $500 million.

After seeing this and other photos/videos, it appears to me that even though there were allegedly only two shooters, that this was a planned operation, with the firing positions chosen for clear fields of fire into the beach and over the routes of egress from the beach. Additionally, a VBIED was allegedly in the mix, suggesting it could be used later as a diversion or a mass casualty-inducer along a point of retreat. How "well planned" this actually was looks to be another matter altogether, as it ended up being amateurish. My point is, this was not some rando attack where some dude snapped. It was planned and deliberate. I think the attackers counted on the society-wide lack of temerity in Australian's emasculated and disarmed male population. At least one Australian man, however, still has some self respect. (Is that his wife telling him not to shoot? I would have had a hard time listening to her, but since it's Australia, it's probably a good thing for him that he didn't pull the trigger.) Also, what kind of gun is that? A Lee-Enfield? Something else ancient? Putting aside all that esoterica, one thing is certain. These were not madmen. They were cooly rational murderers hunting Jews because they were Jewish. These shooters were in the Reinhard Heydrich class of Jew-haters, with Arab names. Place the blame squarely where it belongs: jihadists and the hundreds of millions of "peaceful" Muslims who not only do nothing to stop the jihad of the sword in their midst, but who also celebrate it. Place the blame also on the hundreds of millions of leftist, keffiyeh-wearing Westerners who accept this sort of mass murder of innocents as being a legitimate strategy of some notional "liberation," without acknowledging that it is actually a war of civilizational conquest in which they (the Western leftists) will be the next victims, right after all the Jews are killed. Hard facts on a hard day.

Nothing to see here, just a Ukrainian mini-MLRS mounted on a BMW E38 😯 A vehicle of the 7th Battalion of the 114th Territorial Defense Brigade has been fitted with three launch rails from a BM-21 ‘Grad’ for 122 mm rockets. Such improvised combat vehicles are used to deliver sudden, rapid strikes against the enemy and then quickly withdraw. It is the only MLRS in the world mounted on a BMW sedan

@CynicalPublius I realized a few years ago that I could not, in good conscience, complain about anything that I was not regularly pray about. I pray!

So maybe you are a MAGA and you are unhappy that the Trump agenda is not being enacted fast enough for your liking. Tell me what POSITIVE measures you are taking to bring about the agenda you desire at the speed you desire. POSITIVE measures only. If your measures are "I'm going to endlessly say Doomster stuff on X that drives down voter turnout and helps bring about Obama 3.0, a packed SCOTUS and hate speech laws that will put us all in prison like in the UK," please just keep it to yourself. So please share what you are doing positively, then maybe more of us can do it.

@KTB_500 @GBNT1952 @johnkonrad @SecWar @PeteHegseth @DOWResponse @AbbeyLowerDOW THAT is what it looks like to have effects in another domain.

The Most Devastating Attack on America Wasn’t a War — It is Drugs 1/ No enemy has ever hurt America more than the global drug trade. Not Hitler. Not Imperial Japan. Not bin Laden. None of them even register. 2/ All U.S. wars combined: 1.1 M dead $14 T spent Drug trade since 1980: 0 shots fired 1.5 M+ dead 15–20 M ruined **$35–40 TRILLION incinerated** 3/ Diplomacy We pay countries billions while their planes and boats ship the next load. Rome bribing the barbarians already inside the walls. 4/ Soft power The world used to copy Hollywood. Now they film skid row zombies in 4K. We lost the narrative forever. 5/ Military True gray zone - taking combat power away without firing a shot. Half of 18–34 males are not available or productive—overdosed, locked up, or too high to enlist. 6/ Economy – the silent killshot That $35–40 TRILLION didn’t just vanish. It could have: **→ Built 70 nuclear carrier groups** **→ Put a chip factories in all 50 states** **→ Given every American kid free college + trade school forever** **→ Bought every house in America—twice** **→ Built high speed rail lines NY to LA** **→ Made the U.S. debt-free with trillions left over** Instead we blew it on: prisons · Narcan · funerals · welfare for ghost towns · lost wages from millions of dead dads. We didn’t just lose money. We forfeited and didn't even realize it. 7/ Every fleet and blitzkrieg failed. A bunch of chemists and smugglers are winning with rainbow pills,boats, mules and FedEx. We’re being overdosed into last-place.
