Another lesson (in real war scenario) the missiles supply (not only) of ships in disputed waters (see Red Sea): can oil platforms be dual use ?

So we can classify by speed and trajectory: 1. Quasi-ballistic missiles traveling at Mach 3-4. (Sea Viper ✅️) 2. The Zolfaghar, exceeding speeds of Mach 7. ⁉️ 3. Potentially faster Mach 16 Chinese missiles. (❌️ Need AEGIS)

Probably one of the best real-war lessons...the ability to integrate very different systems in a relatively short time with very different platforms and standards, from fighters and air-to-ground missiles to Russian tracked vehicles and Western surface-to-air missiles 🚀

Have Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs Been ‘Thrown Aside’ By Ukraine? A senior Pentagon official has alluded to a recently deployed long-range ground-launched weapon suffering from Russian jamming and other issues. Story: twz.com/land/have-grou…
The Elbit Mini Music DIRCM has been seen for the first time on Republic of Singapore AF Airbus H225M and Boeing CH-47F transport helicopters. It was previously not known that the RSAF was a customer for the system australiandefence.com.au/news/news/sing…
Very interesting feedback and I would say true (all weapons are now combat-tested)... the theme is then: low-cost weapons but how low cost in a real symmetric war scenario ?

Given the fact that there's no downgraded export models of the M1150 ABV, there's a very high chance that this is the exact same composite armor arrays used by the modern M1 Abrams variants used by the US military. Just without the Depleted Uranium armor (like Australian M1A1s)
Nets and guns...
The future of rifled artillery batteries is in doubt and dark, could the land-based transformation of high-fire rate naval guns be the solution?

As the dust settles, here’s what we know about Israel’s strike on Iran 🧵 - Launched drones & fired missiles from fighter aircraft outside of Iran - Targeted a military base & radar site near Isfahan - “Hit what they intended to strike” - No U.S. involvement New map & report:
Also for drone interception if assisted with radar...

Initial low resolution satellite imagery from Nevatim Airbase this morning appears to show some damage around 31°12'15.7"N 35°02'19.7"E, which aligns with reports of a building being damaged. Not seeing anything else obvious, currently. Couple of annoying cloud shadows.
Great job @detresfa_
Makes sense...

Probably the last to appear, but clear trend of guided rockets from the USA (Himars/SAAB SDB), Russia (Tornado), South Korea and now also Iran... can we say that the era of unguided munitions is almost over?

okok, we got it...plane+missile vs slow drone/slow missile; seen Harrier and now F18, but the question remains... is the solution cost-effective? Does it perhaps minimize the risk because it engages at a very long distance? Opinions? Data ?

There are no visibly destroyed aircraft in new imagery of Morozovsk air base in Russia following recent Ukrainian drone strikes on the site. Many aircraft have moved since the strikes and today's imagery shows a plane using the runway.

I wonder if this is a good idea for a last-chance lightweight CIWS (Close-In Weapon System) anti-drone system. A few hundred 12.7 rounds are cheaper than one programmable 30x173mm or 35x228mm round. The effector of the system from ZMT Tarnow is a four-barreled WLKM 12.7 drive…
