🇺🇦 According to The Economist, Ukraine could achieve a... significant armored breakthrough on the front this year. American military analyst Rob Lee believes that the war in Ukraine has reached a stage similar to the final phase of the First World War — characterized by a static front line and mutual exhaustion of both sides. At the same time, he draws attention to new tactics that emerged in 1918, when the combination of precise artillery fire and well-trained assault groups made decisive breakthroughs possible again, ending the dominance of trench warfare. Lee argues that a similar evolution of technologies and tactics is currently underway, which could restore maneuver warfare to the battlefield. He expects that if the front is properly “opened,” Ukrainian armored units will be able to advance rapidly 5–10 kilometers deep, leading to the collapse of Russian positions. The analyst anticipates successful armored breakthroughs based on these principles as early as this year. This assessment is noteworthy as it suggests that the prolonged positional warfare may soon give way to more dynamic operations. If Ukraine manages to combine effective drone and artillery strikes with coordinated mechanized assaults, it could create the conditions for the first major armored breakthroughs since the early stages of the war.

I met with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron.... We coordinated our positions ahead of the upcoming meeting of the Coalition of Willing. Now is the time when there is a real chance to end the war and stop Russia. To achieve this, we must continue increasing pressure on the Russian Federation, expand support for Ukraine, and finalize the security guarantees. We discussed the consequences of Russian strikes on Ukraine and the strengthening of our air defense and energy resilience – this is one of our key priorities at this stage. Defense cooperation was also in focus, including concrete solutions that can make Ukraine stronger. I thank France and Emmanuel personally for their support. We value all the assistance provided to protect lives. 🇺🇦🇫🇷show more

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 America just unveiled a weapon built... to dominate the drone war. Lockheed Martin has revealed MORFIUS™ X-Rotor, a reusable, high power microwave interceptor designed to take on massive drone swarms and neutralize 50+ enemy drones in a single mission. Instead of relying on multimillion dollar missiles to stop low cost drones, MORFIUS is designed to disable entire swarms with directed microwave energy, then return for another mission. As rivals rapidly expand their drone arsenals, the U.S. is investing in technology designed to counter large scale drone attacks more efficiently. ⚡ The future of air defense isn't just shooting drones down, it's shutting entire swarms down at once.show more

«Si vis pacem, para bellum» 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The ceasefire... agreed on 8 April between the US and Iran came to an end at midnight on 21 April. During this time, Washington has deployed or is in the process of deploying around 10,000 personnel: - Approximately 6,000 personnel aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush and its strike group (including destroyers and other vessels), expected to arrive by the end of April. - Approximately a further 4,200 personnel in the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (including some 2,500 marines), also expected by the end of the month. These movements are described as a means of maintaining pressure on Iran to force an agreement more favourable to US interests, whilst preparing for possible resumption of hostilities should future negotiations fail.show more

Kaja Kallas: The greatest threat Russia presents right now... is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield. Russia is no superpower. After more than a decade of conflict, including four years of full-scale war in Ukraine, Russia has barely advanced beyond the 2014 lines. And the cost? 1.2 million casualties. Today, Russia is broken. Its economy is in shreds. It is disconnecting from the European energy markets, and its own citizens are fleeing.show more

$LASR Energy Directed Weapons from the Iron Beam. Is... probably the single largest beneficiary and validation from the US / Israel vs. Iran conflict. Hezbollah Fired Rockets into Israel. -> $LASR (Nlight) laser engine inside of Rafael's Iron Beam shot them down. It's absolutely wild to see it in action. Lot of defense funds will now probably be pouring into Energy Directed Weapons in the near future given validation just now. Especially to zap down hypersonic missiles with the HELSI initiative. There's a few large player exposure like $DRS or $RTX but there's only one $3.1B MC pure-play energy directed weapons stock. Which also happens to be a known critical supplier for the Iron Beam. Ended up taking positions in $LASR at $3B MC.show more
