RT @donikroman: Коли новопризначений (два роки тому) начальник ТЦК в 26 році розповідає що відправив весь особовий склад ТЦК на фронт за корупцію в 24 році, це якось дуже смердить популізмом і намаганням розповісти якусь хєрню, щоб тупо хайпонути на темі.

On the Kherson front, the past month and a half has seen a growing trend of long-range strikes on Russian targets beyond 50 km.
Footage shows an accumulation of two UAZ Bukhanka vehicles and trailer with a BREM-1 recovery vehicle destroyed at a distance of 55 km from the frontline. https://twitter.com/99Dominik_/status/2041241988037574695#m

▪️ NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has informed European capitals that US President Trump expects concrete commitments from NATO allies within the next few days for the deployment of military forces in the area of Strait of Hormuz, according to information obtained by Der Spiegel;
▪️ Political pledges, such as those made in the days since the beginning of the war, are no longer sufficient for the US president;
▪️ Several European diplomats who were briefed after the NATO Secretary General's meeting with Trump described Trump's demand as amounting to an ultimatum.

RT @Olivier1Schmitt: 🚨 It's publication day!
Very happy that "Preparing for War" is now in the wild.
This English edition is the culmination of more than a decade of research on how armed forces transform, and why it matters.
At a moment when Europe is rearming and Russian and Ukrainian forces are engaged in a relentless cycle of adaptation and counter-adaptation, the essential question is no longer whether militaries must change, but how they actually do.
In the book, I move beyond static assessments of the balance of power to study its dynamics. I propose a unified framework that disentangles five drivers of military transformation (the international system, civil–military relations, technology, internal organizational logics, and war itself) and identifies the mechanisms (constraint, circumvention, learning, and diffusion) through which armed forces reinvent themselves, or fail to.
My hope is that it offers scholars, analysts, and practitioners a common vocabulary and an analytical grid for understanding why some militaries adapt under fire while others remain stuck fighting the last war, a question with profound consequences for the distribution of power in a re-militarizing international system.
Huge thanks to the colleagues, mentors, and friends who shaped this work over the years.

An original conceptual approach to the study of war, attempting to capture the entire phenomenon of military adaptation—whether strategic, institutional or in the field.
