We can call it asymmetric warfare. For large conventional navy power in coastal waters that is really inconvenient to put it mildly. Now put any warship of any navy in black sea, against Ukraine, or Russia - which ever. And watch what happens next. Entire paradigm of coastal warfare changed...

Russians also get hit to their fleet (hidden and berthed away) by Ukrainian drones. Regularly. But lets not forget, Ukraine has no fleet at all. All gone. The entire battle field changed on land and at coastal waters with appearance of all kinds of (cheap) drones (seaborne and airborne). And it...

Lets conclude the following. As red leg has said, standing bridge in Crimea is maybe saying more about Ukrainian capabilities, then about Russian air defenses. Certainly a valid point, from that perspective! If that is so, it indicates that proxies have lesser capabilities than main global...

My list of preferable CRF rifles was following: Winchester m70 Zastava m70 ZKK 602 CZ 550 I was looking for 375 H&H Winchester is medium length action, and holds 3 rounds in magazine, safety is winchester type on the bolt. Zastava is thumb safety blocking the trigger, medium action, 3 round...

Red leg, somehow I knew you will take a bait.;) Now, let me try to answer your question. Russia is building defenses specific to what Nato, or USA can throw at them. We agree on that, do we? So, what do we know now for fact? The facts: Clear example of those US capabilities is first strike...

I am 54. Been on buffalo hunt. 2024. At that time I was thinking, one and done for DG. Then I went for elepahnt hunt. 2025. Both hunts were successful. Both hunts can be described as hunts of a life time. I feel privileged, greatful and humble that I had a chance to experience it. On both...

Well to be honest: it was built by Russia across the sea channel. It is a prime target for Ukrainians for last 4 years. At first that bridge was essential to have Crimea connected with Russia mainland. Now the bridge is not of vital importance, because Russians created a land corridor to Crimea...

I dont know, but I will tell my experience, where the lesson learned was - not all premium bullets are good. I had a 2 season affair with Sako superhammerhead, advertised as bonded bullet. It was in 30-06, 150 grain. Speed was close to 900 m/s. Very accurate. (I managed 1/2 moa at 200 meters...

If I were American voter I would vote for president Trump, because I saw Harris as continuation of president Biden policies. At that time the western countries under leadership of USA had only one war to worry about. Ukraine. And the west was united. Now: USA has two wars to worry about, in...

HUNTROMANIA

Lets put it this way. I think he will not invade. You think he may invade. Maybe you are right. Now lets see what happens. ;) So far he is busy in Ukraine.

Of course I know that. I was describing situation before the war. Norway joined nato. Spy business would be expected by russia. Especially infrastructure.

Hmmm? Good question. Let me try. Why Turkey has not joined EU, they applied as early as 1997? Turkey is interested to join, prima facie, just by that fact. Suffice to say, somebody does not want them in. In Russian case they were not interested. They never applied to join. If they never...

Invading western Europe? For what? This is the key question, please memorize it till I get down to point. Soviet union, was communist regime having doctrine of spreading and supporting communist idea and revolution globally. The threat of communist ideology spreading globally created the Nato...

You dont learn from recent history, dont you? ;) You are still imagining top gun dog fights? "Goose, I am switching to guns now!" Sharp manouver and getting that mig at electronic crosshairs. New war is fought differently Ukraine had nothing to match Russian strategic bombers' - yet they hit...
