When I showed up to Ranger Battalion, I let my squad know that I was a Christian.

That meant I didn’t drink, dip, or curse, and that I was a virgin (and would be until my honeymoon night).
They were dumbfounded.

Dangerous Christian men
During the reconnaissance mission in the Robotyne area, 2 Ukrainian fighters from the 118th Mechanized Brigade came across an enemy patrol.
I truly don't understand this. With all the drones flying around hitting individual soldiers why would you send 2 fighters out across open ground on a recon mission? WHY! This thing is confusing and I don't care which side you support can someone please explain this to me? Why send a man where you can send a bullet or in the modern age a drone? A two man unit for this? Do they not have something as simple as binoculars? I understand the limitations of their optics. Most I see are setup for close combat and have little to no magnification but binoculars? THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT! A two man team stumbling into a larger enemy patrol seems like madness to me.During the reconnaissance mission in the Robotyne area, 2 Ukrainian fighters from the 118th Mechanized Brigade came across an enemy patrol. One of the fighter was wounded and they were forced to retreat. Close Call! First contact at 2:41 pic.twitter.com/rP7eCQH3oM

35mm Skynex wins an additional contract.
I guess its better than nothing but gun anti-air just ain't gonna cut. Missile anti-air is too expensive with too few kills per launcher. The only answer is either EW or some type of beam weapon. Until those get online then the ground forces are just gonna be behind the eight ball when it comes to fighting aerial threats.🇩🇪 @RheinmetallAG has been awarded a further contract to supply 35mm Skynex air defence systems to a European customer. The deliveries will take place over the course of 2025 and, as with the initial contract, will also include the @RheinmetallAG HX tactical trucks. pic.twitter.com/fkbuMmHK3f

Lithuanian MOD has completed the acquisition of Boxer-Vilkas infantry fighting vehicles
It's weird to me. The Boxer is hailed by many Europeans as the end all be all wheeled armored vehicle. I just don't see it. The Patria AMV seems much more capable, more versatile and at least if not more mobile in all conditions.🇱🇹 We have completed the acquisition of Boxer-Vilkas infantry fighting vehicles, with the last of the 89 vehicles reaching Lithuania at the end of last year. In addition, we purchased a logistics package, 2 prototypes for driver training, spare parts and all necessary ammunition. pic.twitter.com/oqPXMRhSGP

Still no answer on why so many govts are fear mongering on the idea of Russia attacking 32 aligned Nato nations...
Why are those in power so ignorant of the reason for NATO? It wasn't to prevent an attack from Russia. NATO was formed to prevent an attack from the USSR (much different state than modern day Russia) AND the WARSAW PACT! The WARSAW PACT IS GONE! THE USSR IS GONE! Russia isn't going to attack the combined might of NATO. Full stop. So what's the real deal here? I have no idea and even those that are pushing the idea haven't been asked by anyone in the media to explain themselves.Estonia says Russia is preparing for a military confrontation with the West within the next decade. The assessment is based on Russia's plans to double the number of forces stationed along its border with Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia https://t.co/LhePrzE4fk pic.twitter.com/B7oxtYBZfk

People on "collapse" Redditt are predicting WW3. Now I get it. The IDF has been massing armor on the Lebanon border
Before I go much further I want to put out this reminder of why the IDF was ordered to attack the Gaza strip.I didn’t mean for this to become a giant post…

They are starting WW3 on purpose and we are being set up to lose.

Barbaric crimes were committed against the citizens of Israel. Many families were killed while huddled together. Women raped and savaged in ways that are disgusting to even those that are hardened to such things.Hamas terrorists kidnapped Israeli girls to Gaza, raped and paraded them in streets!

That's huge. The current crop of Hamas militants are all but thru. The job has been done. The lawn has been mowed.After 4 months of war, I'm finally getting released. They've been the most enjoyable and meaningful time of my life, but it's time to move on. The hardest part isn't adjusting back to normal, but to leave my conscript friends still fighting.

Russians are starting to fly old skool Close Air Support & Strike Missions...
This is a real bad omen for Ukraine. If the Russians have cracked the code and are able to fly old skool close air and strike missions then its gonna get beyond bad soon. I don't have know if the Russians have a reserve but if they do then the classic move would be to continue to press the Ukrainian lines and then have that reserve bust thru at a point of their liking and to have them plow straight thru to an objective, hold the line, refresh the force after they've been relieved and do it all over again. We could see tens of miles or more gobbled up in days instead of the hundreds of feet we're seeing now.🇷🇺 🇺🇦 A flight of six Russian Su-25 attack aircraft in the Avdeevsky direction‼️

Bóbr-3 Light Armored Reconnaissance Transporters (LOTR)
Note. I find it interesting that the development model of this vehicle has the same design "face" as the K808. Do I think it is a simple copy? No. Form follows function. I have no knowledge but I'm betting that the 6 wheeled version placed amphibious performance as one of its most important factors and that the 4 wheeled lowered its importance. Its weird. Modern vehicles especially recon vehicles, depend so much on mobility and long range optics/drones etc...that seeing out the front should not be prioritized over crossing those water obstacles that litter Poland's countryside.
Even sadder? I'm betting the 6x6 had greater growth potential.
The Polish MoD approved the framework agreement between the Armament Agency and the AMZ-Kutno company for the delivery of 280 Bóbr-3 Light Armored Reconnaissance Transporters (LOTR) as part of the program codenamed Kleszcz.
