this is probably very important.
you dont need skala or air assault every time. if you give ground forces the correct resources they can hold and locally counterattack if needed.

RT @TUA_Research: The Kyiv Independent recently published an article based on our investigation into the @RWApodcast hosts, who we identified as Kirill Ilyich Kamenetsky and Eldar Faridovich Orlov (Yamaltdinov).

RT @SimonOstrovsky: Wow. The head of Serbia’s military intel pushes back on the narrative being spread by Orban accusing Ukraine of planting the explosives found by a gas pipeline that goes to Hungary. Calls it disinformation. https://twitter.com/tothcsabatibor/status/2040900522446553182#m

RT @EODHappyCaptain: Less than a year ago, the Air Force unveiled a new PT test with a two mile run. Airmen took to social media to complain how the new increased length would cause injuries.

This weekend, an Air Force Colonel, more than likely in their mid to late 40s, ran 5 miles up a mountain to escape the enemy.

Running matters. You should do more of it.

It’s a historic day for the Homo sapiens

RT @RyanFedasiuk: The @abcnews is out this morning with a disturbing story: The IRGC is actively making use of detailed satellite imagery and analysis published by MizarVision, a Chinese geospatial analytics company — and has used this data to target American, Australian, and allied forces in the Middle East.

This is a fluid and fast-moving situation and I want to be clear about what we know so far.

1️⃣ It's clear U.S. forces in the Gulf are operating in an environment that is very different from any other they have encountered previously.

Commercial satellite imagery collected by foreign companies is now available at a quality and frequency that is good enough to put U.S. combat forces in harm's way.

This is ultimately why U.S. collection platforms like @vantortech and @planet chose this weekend to suspend their coverage over the Middle East.

Unfortunately, predictably, foreign competitors like MizarVision see no reason to censor their own product offerings.

2️⃣ The implications are grim: ostensibly private Chinese AI companies are directly helping the Iranian regime target U.S. and allied forces in the region.

The ABC has information that the IRGC is striking U.S. facilities "within hours" of MizarVision publishing them.

I told @henryzwartz that this would effectively amount to Iranian forces outsourcing targeting data to a Chinese company: It is "the greatest degree of support we have seen China provide to a proxy force against the United States" — there is really no other way to read it.

3️⃣ If the Chinese government wanted to rein in the actions of MizarVision and other imagery providers, it could. And it should.

Spokespersons from @MFA_China have so far attempted to downplay the significance of this development. I'm willing to buy that Chinese officials haven't been aware of the importance of this particular imagery or the extent of its use by the IRGC — but China should recognize this is an extremely serious development. We're talking about Chinese enterprises directly supplying actionable intelligence to wartime enemies of the United States.

MizarVision has spent weeks zeroing in on U.S. forces and bases in the region and publishing their activities on its Weibo account. It hasn't done the same to Iran. It's very clear what is going on here — and it is unacceptable.

This doesn't have to be a story about China. It's clear the United States is also learning about the battlefield potential of commercial sat imagery in real-time.

Beijing should understand that U.S. concerns at this moment are deadly serious. I expect the U.S. government will do everything in its power to defend its personnel.

China should mirror the U.S. suspension of commercial satellite imagery collection over the Middle East.

Impressive performance. Adaptations in protection/countermeasures are keeping tanks relevant on the battlefield. Exposed infantry would have just died, but the tank survived to fight another day. https://twitter.com/deaidua/status/2041159612527779966#m

The Trump Admin should be making this specific argument more clearly. Ignoring the regime's missile & drone program has never been a tenable course of action. Those who advocate for it are actually demanding that the US subject itself to a multi-front war against both China & Iran in the future. https://twitter.com/Missile_Defense/status/2041160897482101018#m

RT @cossackgundi: It's strange to think that four years have passed since Mariupol and everything that happened there. For me, it has become a painful memory, something I carry with me while trying to continue with life. But it is important to remember that not everyone came home.

Some were killed during the battle for the city. Others died in captivity. And even now, there are still many of our guys who remain prisoners.

In darker moments, I sometimes find myself thinking that it might have been easier to have fallen there than to carry on as though life is normal, while knowing that the friends and men you stood beside are still enduring the cruel and twisted reality of Russian captivity.
