    A happy note to start the day.

        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...

                        @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.

                                        @Wim That is interesting. China is pretty much the only major trading partner for Russia now. If they lose China...........

                                        It is surprising that Chian would do this. With all of the domestic problems (including exports) they are having, I wonder the reasoning.
