Now we know why they're adding extra Low Altitude Air Defense to MLRs. The Chinese will send these beasts out hunting them. Funny thing is that I think the future for anti-air has to be energy based. The amount of fire required to knock down just one drone much less a drone will break logistics. Energy is the way to go IF they can make it economical (with regard to fuel requirements).

Is Israel arming insurgents in Iran?

Iranian streets are now being filled with weapons. A nice reminder that Israel hasn’t forgotten that Iran armed multiple groups in Hamas, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq to cause chaos. As they say; what goes around, comes around. pic.twitter.com/j2R39DOQ79

Hmm. The protests in Iran continue without let up so one would ASSUME that they're receiving outside support. Israel doing this? Yeah I can see that quite easily especially with Bibi being back in charge. The US? Not so much. Biden wants that deal so bad he can taste it. Who else? Really not sure. Like Grandma used to say...plenty of people throw rocks and hide their hands...

How is this possible? A 29 foot crocodile in Maine?

How is this even remotely possible. First the thing is 29 feet long. That means its old as hell but somehow escaped detection ... IN MAINE??? Next you have the hard fact that crocs aren't native to the US much less NORTHERN US! Finally I wonder how this thing survives the fridgid as fuck winters up there. I somehow think the internet is being punked on this one.

Winter in Ukraine looks to be bad...probably the biggest killer on the battlefield...

If these pics are correct then Winter will be the biggest killer on the battlefield.

Iranian Security Forces are going hard core against protesters

Eyes on this guys. It's been brewing for what...at least a month? This is the type of thing you see before govts fall. The worry? Iran probably has nukes, it has the Revolutionary Guard and its the main supplier of many terror groups in the region if not the world. SOCOM better be doing function checks on their weapons and kissing their wives, girlfriends, mistresses, sidechicks good bye. I'm betting they're gonna be back to extended deployments in a familiar part of the world real soon. Same goes for the Israelis.

Germany: "We have to assume that there will be blackouts this winter," says the head of the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance.

Turkey carries out massive airstrikes in Syria...

 

BREAKING:

Turkey has launched its largest air attack on Syria and Iraq in a long time.

Kobane and multiple other locations have been hit.

Ankara says that retaliating for the 13 Nov Istanbul bombing it says was done by Syria-based YPG.

Joint Assad-SDF positions have been hit. pic.twitter.com/162Ay6vyCf

Curious choice of target here. Why attack Assad-SDF positions? Unless Turkey is claiming a link between the YPG and Syria.  I do know they've linked the US with the YPG and their leadership appears pissed!

Different subject.

The USMC says its a one war force now.

Don't know the stance that the Navy, Air Force and Army are taking but if for instance we have Ukraine/Russia continuing and something big and bad pops off in the Middle East our force is gonna be strained to react.

Of course that might not be a bad thing.  We need to pick and choose where we get involved and stop acting as "America World Police!"
