One of the most significant current battles in Ukraine is taking place in the small city of Chasiv Yar. In this thread, I will analyze the current situation, defensive preparations, terrain, participating units, various scenarios and future developments. 1/
We often focus on high-end weapons for Ukraine, but Ukraine also needs many basic systems like M113 or armored humvees in large numbers. Providing more M113 is a simple way to reduce Ukrainian KIA/WIA.

Restoring deterrence is like finding dark matter, which is believed to make up most of the universe's mass, but we cannot be certain it actually exists
Analysts close to Israel are saying that Israel managed to restore deterrence. Analysts close to Iran/Axis of Resistance are saying that Israel failed to restore deterrence. That’s a good place to be at and close this chapter.

Once again: no-one serious has said that nuclear weapons are only for deterring nuclear attacks. From earliest cold war, US & NATO doctrine was that nuclear forces could & should deter conventional attacks in Europe. A vibrant & ongoing debate over No First Use makes this clear.
To folks claiming that nuclear weapons are *only* for deterring nuclear attacks, then turning around and saying oh wait actually nukes are for preventing conventional warfare, which is it? Never mind that nobody seems to have a solution for when deterrence theory fails.
I strongly agree that the strike was designed to overcome Israeli defences and cause damage. However, I would disagree with the claim that the strike was modelled on Russian attack waves in Ukraine. 1/4
NEW | The Iranian April 13 missile-drone attack on Israel was very likely intended to cause significant damage below the threshold that would trigger a massive Israeli response. The attack was designed to succeed, not to fail. 🧵(1/9)
Skeptical re. utility of F-16s vis-a-vis glide-bombs: “Without more Patriot batteries, or until the…arrival of f-16s armed with aim-120 missiles, which is unlikely before July, Russian pilots will continue to inflict the glide-bomb scourge with impunity.” economist.com/europe/2024/04…

@KevinRothrock It’s true for most countries. But unfortunately far too much “analysis” of Russia and Russians is based on TV clips shared on this website and a failure to appreciate that most Russians never see them. That’s not the same for, eg, the UK perception of the US.
This is the first paper in a series. The second will look at CUAS methodologies. The third will look at displacement across the Joint Force. I'd also recommend you check out @KofmanMichael and @RALee85 recent discussion on UAV use in Ukraine: warontherocks.com/2024/04/mike-k…
