RT @JamieMctrusty: 80 years ago, 25th October, 1944. Conclusion of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, with a series of major engagements bringing an end to Japanese naval attempts to halt the American invasion of the Philippines. This would be the largest naval battle in modern history.
BATTLE OF SURIGAO STRAIT
In the early morning of 25th October, the Japanese Southern Force was engaged by American PT boats and destroyers. They then ran straight into into an ambush of battleships (5 of them Pearl Harbor veterans) and cruisers. Under devastating fire, the Japanese lost the battleships Fusō and Yamashiro, plus 3 destroyers. The remaining ships then withdrew.
BATTLE OFF SAMAR
At 7am, the Japanese Centre Force, centred around the battleship Yamato, took the six escort carriers of ‘Taffy 3’ by surprise. It had been mistakenly believed that this enemy fleet was withdrawing following the loss of Musashi the previous day. On paper, the result should have been a...

Since I'm rambling about the complexities of history:
Norway has fought most of our wars against Sweden and the Royal Navy caused our last famine.
We were occupied by the Nazis for 5 years, took part in the occupation of West Germany and 10 years after the war we were allies.

RT @DrRadchenko: The Soviet Politburo agrees in a top secret directive to decorate Soviet military instructors in Syria who "risked their lives" in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 (fighting Israel). Why top secret? I guess because they were not supposed to be involved in this particular war.

RT @AlexLuck9: Italian carrier Cavour heading back through the Red Sea and towards Suez. Note robust escort group owing to the current threat level in the region.
Meanwhile we have not AFAIK heard on updates whether German IPD24 deployment, currently wrapping up in India, intends a transit. https://twitter.com/ItalianNavy/status/1849746032122335435#m

Op basis van onze inlichtingen kan ik bevestigen dat Rusland minstens 1500 militairen uit Noord-Korea inzet.
De eerste speciale eenheden zijn nu in Rusland gearriveerd en worden waarschijnlijk eerst in Koersk ingezet.
Deze significante escalatie vereist…

The first documented interception of the Russian decoy-drone “Gerbera” with the help of FPV drone.
These are launched together with Shahed kamikaze drones to to divert the attention of the Ukrainian air defense and provoke to waste expensive interceptor missiles on decoys.
Therefore, one of the best ways to counter them are cheap FPV drones.
Hopefully, soon we will also see published videos of the interceptions of Shahed kamikaze drones themselves.
