First look at the new Polish Heavy IFV

Personally I like it! I just wonder and HOPE that they made allowances for the turret to accept our upcoming 50mm cannon.

I wonder how the US HIMARS keeps winning when its S. Korean competition is open source, yields more firepower per pod, and is priced competitively.

Netanyahu was warned before the Oct 7 attacks by UAE leadership but did nothing.

 Via Times Of Israel

Some 10 days before Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally warned by the leader of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning a major offensive move against Israel, but did not update Israeli security leaders and did nothing with the information, Haaretz reports.

The report cites a new book, “Kidnapped: 843 Days of Abandonment,” by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, based on interviews with dozens of sources including senior officials in Israel and around the world. It says three senior foreign officials were updated on the contents of the 45-minute phone call at the end of September. It cites an adviser to Mohammed bin Zayed who had direct knowledge of the conversation.

It says Mohammed bin Zayed (known as MBZ) warned Netanyahu that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning major action against Israel that would lead to bloodshed, unsettle the region and potentially harm the Abraham Accords. The report says MBZ was surprised by Netanyahu’s response, which was sanguine, with the Israeli premier telling him Jerusalem was on top of things in Gaza, that any Hamas action was likely to come in the West Bank, and that Israel was prepared for any scenario.

Here 

Another data point among many that Israeli leadership knew that doom was approaching and did nothing.

What do we know?

Israeli intel was warning of an attack.  Certain parts of the military was warning of an attack.

Now?  Now we know that other nations (I believe the USA knew of the attack and warned Israel, probably Saudi Arabia did too, and now the UAE) knew of the attack coming, warned Israel and despite those warnings they did nothing.

I personally believe Netanyahu sacrificed his people as part of a bigger agenda he had.

Netanyahu, not the people of Israel, is the devil.

SOMETHING STINKS ON BOTH FRONTS! Ukraine has bigger internal problems than the Russians. I can't place it, although some are saying its about money/power but the closest thing that I can relate this to is the battle between the SS and SA.

Europe will never move ahead when France views Germany as its main rival...

Weird. France is giving the side eye to Germany. Germany is giving the side eye to Poland (and vice versa) and the entire continent can't get on the same page. Europe will never move ahead when ancient anamosities rule the day. Russia isn't the enemy to these people. Russia is a unifier for them. An external enemy to point to in order to unite the others. Sad but apparently true.

U.S. Marines, Norwegian Forces Integrate Strikemaster Missile System on Jan Mayen... by Sgt. Noah Masog

 

This is so interesting. The USMC and Norwegians both bought the same missile but diverged on how they would deploy it. The Marines were so anxious to have a "leap" into the future went the unmanned route. The Norwegians were more sensible and decided to put it on a protected mobility vehicle instead. I think the Norwegians got it right. Even if the Marines were determined to put it on the JLTV then stretching it and adding an extra axle, yes it would still be manned but it would have been more cost effective AND I think more effective in its role. Additionally a properly stretched JLTV could have mounted other missile pods (depending on weight). Regardless check out the Norwegian solution.
