Unrelated to the war?

I doubt it.

Two planes hit in the last 24 hours.

The second is, reportedly, friendly fire.

It kept going there for quite a while. I guess until the Bradley hit the ammo.

The Russian submarine fleet in the Black Sea just got bigger.

Russia has a huge Black Sea problem. Even if they could, Turkey won't let their navy through the straits to reenforce what they have.

So what they have, is what they have. And what they have, is dwindling...

I'd forgotten about that. Yeah, that's a yuge issue.

A long read (on drones and Zelenski vs his top general), but worth it. https://stefankorshak.substack.com/p/feb-3-day-710-droning-on-about-drones?utm_medium=reader2

@Wim very interesting stuff about the importance and effectiveness of drone warfare.

He claims that it makes artillery partially obsolete. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s certainly an interesting claim.

Mik

It’s certainly more precise.

Speaking of Drones...

Wow.
