🇺🇸🚀 Lockheed Martin & General Dynamics have announced a Solid Rocket Motor Strategic Teaming Agreement 🚀

SRMs are the single biggest bottleneck in the production of missiles, with just two main domestic suppliers for the entire industry in the United States: Northrop Grumman & L3Harris' Aerojet Rocketdyne.

The initial effort will focus on production of SRMs for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control's Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS). Both companies will invest millions into the effort, with an objective of General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems being able to produce thousands of SRMs at their Camden, AR facility. The first motors are expected to roll off the production line next year. LMMFC & GD-OTS want to achieve full rate production as soon as possible.

RT @Teoyaomiquu: Yesterday, videos circulated showing Ukraine losing 8 BTR-4Es, leading some observers to panic, claiming it's over and that Ukraine is losing its way. This perspective is misguided.

The loss is indeed tragic, and it's heartbreaking to know that lives were lost in that assault. Our mechanized forces suffered both equipment and human losses. Given Ukraine's more limited resources compared to Russia, I wish this hadn't happened.

However, it's important to remember that Ukraine is fighting an opponent that is ten times larger, wealthier, and better equipped. It's unrealistic to expect Ukraine to always carry out flawless operations.

For instance, while attention is focused on Kursk, the Russians launched an assault on Lyptsi yesterday with six tanks and around 30 infantry riding on top. Most of them were destroyed (see the next tweet), yet few people seem to take notice. Don't u...

The "Hartia" unit took part in repelling Russian assault on the Kharkiv front this morning. 5 tanks were destroyed and damaged, four dozen infantry were neutralized:

“On August 13, at 6 a.m., Russians attempted to attack the position of the 13th bBrigade of the National Guard of Ukraine in the direction of Pylne-Lyptsi and Pylne-Hlyboke. The Hartia unit detected the attack in a time and confidently repelled the assault, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

Russian tank attack consisted of two columns of 6 tanks, equipped with massive protection against FPV. Each tank carried a landing force of 8-10 infantrymen. The first column of 6 tanks moved to the positions of the 13th Brigade of the NGU.

Russians did not manage to reach the front edge of our defense. The fighters of the brigade inflicted a powerful ateikes with all available means, stopped and destroyed the column.

As a result of the confident and determined actions of the "Harti...
