RT @RyanO_ChosenCoy: I agree with Rob. To be quite honest drone warfare has weakened what a traditional static war looks like. There is no second or third line. 3-5km from 0= DJI, recce and light bomber drones.
5-10(sometimes 15km) is your fpv and heavy bomber as well as UGV.
There is no more second or third lines with infantry. It is now the drone line/s. Drone teams lack the ability to counter direct infantry threats that break through into their lines.
The biggest issue on maneuver warfare right now is both sides lack planning, command & control and cohesion.

I disagree. The Ukrainian offensive operations in Kupyansk and Zaporizhzhia from last fall and this winter demonstrated that offensive maneuver is possible even with brigades and regiments that only had a company-size element of infantry. In both cases, breakthroughs…

RT @cameron19460429: I hope other European nations follow the Netherlands in this regard.
Joining the CCA program is a cost effective approach for adding capability and capacity to European Air Force's which tend to be on the smaller side.
I hope strike drones like Valkyrie will also be purchased https://twitter.com/ColbyBadhwar/status/2049851269918105914#m

🇺🇸🇺🇦 In SASC hearing, Senator Shaheen presses Hegseth, Caine and Hurst on the status of the $400 million in ECB funds. SASC received a transmittal confirming the funds would be obligated to support Ukraine.
Details on how the spend plan is being developed between Elbridge Colby and EUCOM Commander Grynkewich aren't clear.
Hurst says they are getting a legal opinion on transferring the funds to the USAI account, which is what I suggested they do.

Denmark says the munitions they bought from Israel didn't even have military grade GPS.

RT @kriegsforscherD: Long and unpleasant article that must be read. @RyanO_ChosenCoy wrote an article about the problems foreigners facing during their service in Ukraine.
A lot of those problems must be solved (and frankly speaking it won’t take that much time to deal with them).
@FedorovMykhailo can you help with that?
