@defense_news US field artillery officers understood that the birth of the drone was the death of towed artillery. That defense procurement refused to make progression it sooner is an embarrassment.

Cost vs Improvement over M777
Wiki (yeah, Iam lazy)
.[11] Depending on the year, contract and systems package, the M777 has been exported with individual unit costs from US$2.025 million (in 2008) to $3.738 million (in 2017).[12][13]

@ksorbs Wasnt as expensive before the covid scam.
Retailers milked the gravy-train, and they wont revert to pre-scamdemic pricing.
That, and yes --> feeding the interlopers.

@ksorbs Dont overthink this, here is what hes attempting to say:

👉Roman Gov. that ordered crucifixion = evil

Iran just released footage reportedly showing one of its air defense systems successfully hitting an American F-35.

@bayraktar_1love Early reports on how the 3, US F-15s lost were wrong
(as to how they were shot down)
I'll wait for further information, before buying the Iran narrative being pushed online.

A US F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at US air base in the Middle East after it was struck by what is believed to be Iranian fire, according to the CNN

@Alphaalphj @Osinttechnical Better question:
You think China is capable of a Normandy 2.0?
In 2026 w/ 24-7 satellite coverage?

@Osinttechnical I wonder if China invaded Taiwan right now if the US could respond

Hegseth confirms that the Pentagon is requesting $200 billion from Congress for Iran war.
"That number could move... it takes money to kill bad guys."
English
@LazyCuriositisy @Osinttechnical Fair point.
Also, iirc --> The ATACMS variant (that was sent in limited number) were the shorter distance version.
Bastards in the White House warned ruSSia beforehand, so they moved their helos out of range.

The House just passed a bill which would automatically deport illegals who commit welfare fraud, 231-186
You would think that this would be a no-brainer, but for some reason 186 Democrats voted AGAINST it.

@Osinttechnical Headline:

a) Since when is Easter a huge travel period?
b) The lemmings at The Times, could give a fuck about Easter.

Airlines have been warned to expect cancellations and some jet fuel rationing starting next month due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz -The Times
Long-haul flights may be most affected, as airlines could have trouble securing fuel for return journeys.

@ksorbs When T$ bends the knee to Putin on oil, thats the message that irks even this diehard-lifelong republican.

The GOP is losing support and it will backfire terribly on them in the midterms. Get it together!
Gunther Eagleman™@GuntherEagleman
If the GOP were EFFECTIVE at messaging, it wouldn't be left up to Tom Homan to go on Fox News reassuring the American people that they're fighting to fund DHS. Homan, much like Bovino was, shouldn't have to WASTE TIME on TV when there are HUNDREDS of other officials who could take some time to get the truth out. Homan needs to be seeing what's going on to ensure it's purring like a well-oiled-machine.

An American President on the importance of courage and strength in defending civilization:
“Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh-century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight. Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought.
If the peoples of Europe had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over, the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated.
Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor.
The civilization of Europe, America, and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization.”
— Teddy Roosevelt

@Tendar Sounds like a child wrote that second bit.
We knew the risks involved in proving Ukrainians similar data for 4+ years.

Imagine pseudo "experts" - NOT - remembering russian crews actually killing US Airmen.
English
Russians help the Iranian regime to kill US soldiers. Now, they even are expanding this cooperation.
There is a good chance that the first US casualties were possible due to Russia giving the Iranian regime the necessary coordinates, including the best trajectory to hit them.

@BorgFella420 @Osinttechnical Should have stopped at "Nothing has a 100% success rate".
fwiw
You come across as a immature troll that cant handle his liquor.
English
@13loopKnot @Osinttechnical Nothing has 100% success rate , so if you want perfection you need to ask your god for favors. In the meantime you should swallow that fucking arrogance of yours and accept help from people who want to help you... Or get smacked with drones, whatever you want

U.S. Embassy Baghdad reportedly hit by an attack drone moments ago.

@BorgFella420 @Osinttechnical Does Ukraine have a 100% success rate of preventing drones from reaching a target?

@Osinttechnical Ukraine could've helped prevent this but Trump was too arrogant and too much in love with putin

What if -- sorry if I'm spoiling the party -- what if America's tyrannical enemies all feel themselves on the run? What if it's working?
What if Trump's basic foreign policy strategy -- not every element, and you may reasonably argue that some significant mistakes are being made -- is overall turning into a massively successful surge in American influence? What if the radical regimes, whether outright Marxists like Venezuela and Cuba or hybrid Marxist-Islamists like Iran, are either in retreat or desperately trying to reform from within to avoid that fate?
I try not to comment on America's domestic politics. It isn't my place and I frankly don't know enough. But on the world stage, it's starting to look like Trump may have cut through the dumbest, oldest assumptions of the foreign policy brahmins and delivered through sheer grim determination a serious new direction for American policy.
Yes, it may all go to the dogs. From Iran to Venezuela, it could all still fail. We're going through history for the first time, as it were. We don't know how the story ends.
But the data points are piling up that suggest it's possible this could all succeed. What if China's alliance system breaks down, the Middle East emerges in a year or two (or perhaps ten) more stable and less radical than it is now, Venezuela begins to rebuild from the ruins of Chavezism, and even resilient little Cuba begins to reconsider its commitment to eternal poverty and dictatorship?
What then?

🇨🇺 The Cuban dictatorship has just announced PERESTROIKA on national television. The same death decree that accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union. The measures will be as follows: - Allowing Cuban exiles, without effective residency in Cuba, to participate in or own private companies in Cuba. - Cuban exiles can partner with Cuban private companies through their businesses. This includes not only small businesses but also infrastructure and large-scale enterprises. - Participation of Cuban exiles in the country's financial and banking system. Cuban participation in the business and financial sectors is now open. - Cuban exiles will be able to open foreign currency bank accounts in Cuban banks. - Regarding land-related businesses, usufruct rights will be granted. - Cuban exiles will be able to establish alliances with Cuban state or private entities. All too little too late

President Zelenskyy on Netanyahu:
He has what I need, and I have what he needs.
No matter on which side you are on, you have to admit that Zelenskyy is a pro in geopolitics, outsmarting most in Europe, and even more those amateurs in the White House.
