Tradition should be like a torch to pass on, not ashes to be admired. Learn from the past, plan for the future but live in the present. Nostalgia is a cancer.

🇮🇳Indian Army firing a single artillery round 😂 While we wait for them to finish those dance moves,🇨🇳Our artillery has already fired 2 dozen rounds and flattened their base 🤣🤣 This might be the clownery of the century 🤣🤣
This was a Turning Points USA event with JD Vance. And the tickets were free.
🏍Через придурків на мопедах доводиться просто підривати дрони перехоплювачі в повітрі, бо ми вилітаємо на акустичну ціль, а цілі там немає. Якщо б ці люди платили за кожен прой*баний дрон, в них би ни було грошей на пальне, — оператор дрону-перехоплювача
Putin accidentally creating a high-tech regional military power of the first order on its doorstep has to be one of the funniest self-owns in history.
Estonia cancels €500M combat vehicle purchase, boosts drone defense. This is exactly the kind of decision that shows Estonia is paying attention to the reality of modern war. Legacy platforms and heavy armor still have a role, but their dominance is fading in a battlefield shaped by drones, AI, and persistent surveillance. Estonia understands that if you are serious about national defense, especially on Russia’s doorstep, you cannot afford to prepare for the last war. You have to prepare for the one that is already happening. This is a smart, disciplined move, and it deserves recognition. The rest of NATO needs to take a hard look at this and start making real changes. Investment has to shift toward drone and AI enabled capabilities at scale, not small test programs. Short range air defense must focus on fast, effective systems designed to defeat drones at low altitude. Not everything needs to be missile based. Radar guided gun systems in the 30mm range and below are going to be critical when facing mass drone threats. At the same time, we need to build depth. National level stockpiles of drone components, batteries, and repair parts are essential. Standardized training programs must be implemented across the force so every soldier understands how to operate drones, counter them, and survive under constant aerial observation. This capability cannot sit at the top. It has to be pushed down. We need company level attack drone teams as a standard, with that capability extending down to the platoon level. That is how you increase combat power without increasing manpower. Small, well trained drone teams are already delivering precision effects that used to require heavy weapons, indirect fire, or air support. When that capability is embedded directly into tactical units, leaders gain immediate options to find, fix, and strike targets in real time without waiting on higher headquarters. At the company level, these teams should be organized, trained, and equipped to conduct continuous operations alongside infantry, armor, and artillery. At the platoon level, smaller, agile drone elements should support maneuver in close contact. This creates layered capability across the formation and dramatically increases lethality, responsiveness, and survivability. This is not a future problem. It is happening now. The battlefield has already changed, and the window to adapt is closing. The nations that move now will be ready. The ones that wait will learn the hard way. Слава Україні. Героям слава. 🇺🇦 news.postimees.ee/8449574/estoni…
