An interesting option for sure, and note the 70 mm rocket launcher on top, which is the calibre of choice for everyone’s favourite affordable drone killing rocket, the APKWS.
Introducing the Patria TRACKX UGV Concept! 💥 Unveiled today by Patria and RENK at Eurosatory, the heavy unmanned ground vehicle concept represents the next generation of unmanned tactical mobility. Designed to perform in the most demanding environments, this concept combines Patria’s modular TRACKX armoured tracked vehicle platform with RENK’s digitalised HSWL 076 transmission and drive-by-wire mobility architecture, enabling unmanned and optionally manned operations. The jointly developed concept sets a new benchmark for mission-critical, future autonomous land systems. 🛡️ 📍Visit RENK’s booth at Hall 6 Stand J280 to see the concept first-hand.

HMG is lining itself up for a punishing month with its allies. The UK has been at the heart of designing NATO's defence plans. Those plans specify what allies agreed was necessary to ensure deterrence. Allies made commitments as to what part of the plan they would resource. 1/9

If Russia is jamming Starlink more effectively, you better believe this capability will proliferate fast. We cannot become reliant on one type of comms for anything, especially drones.
It is very important strike. Russian army has a system that is capable of jamming Starlink — Peresvet-M system. I was told one week ago that middle strike drone operators felt influence at that direction. Unfortunately, it’s working.

A Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber based in the Belaya air base in Irkutsk, went down and got totally destroyed. At the moment there is no news what caused the crash or what is the status of the crew. In the past the air base was struck by Ukrainian drones during the Spiderweb operation almost exactly a year ago. Whatever it was, type Tu-22M3 strategic bombers are frequently the carrier of missile attacks against Ukraine. Seeing one of them going down less than 24h after the Russian attack against the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Monastery is quite extraordinary.

"The heavy-handed and hasty export control directive was misguided. The behavior described in the paper cannot meaningfully be fixed, and any attempt would only weaken the model [Fable 5/Mythos] for defense."
US gov slapped export-controls onto Anthropic this weekend, leaving it no choice but to close access to Fable 5/Mythos to everyone. @k8em0 saw the vulnerability report that prompted the drastic move and says it's a misguided over-reaction. lutasecurity.com/post/the-fa…

China trained hundreds of Russian soldiers who later went to Russia’s war against Ukraine, EU officials confirmed. The training took place at several locations inside China. Some troops then reached the front line or joined active combat operations — United24. 1/

Look, I’ll save you the headache. Kiriakou was known for two things *before* he unmasked an undercover CIA officer, went to prison for doing so, got out, and then went to work for the Russians. When he was stationed in Greece, he illegally parked his car at the port in Piraeus next to the ferry boarding area. The police told him to move it. Kiriakou locked himself inside and refused to get out of his car and said he didn’t have to, he was from the U.S. Embassy. Caused an unnecessary diplomatic stink over a fucking parking violation, which became notorious in the building — although not nearly as notorious as what else happened to him in Greece. His wife had an affair. When Kiriakou found out about it, he behaved in a manner unbefitting of any officer of any clandestine service, except maybe Russia’s, which is why he’s a good fit for them now. As he’ll be the first to tell you, he’s got bills to pay. Big on the IRGC-aligned podcast bro circuit but knows nothing, is aggressive in his ignorance, and generally held to be a laughingstock at his former organization. I believe the kiddos call this being a “whistleblower,” which is even more hilarious. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.
John Kiriakou is the perfect hire for Russian state media (or any nation with a vested interest in demoralizing the United States through targeted internal propaganda). Here’s why: 1. He has the credential of “former CIA officer” under his belt. That means something to American viewers. Military or government service, in general, goes a long way toward establishing legitimacy and trust. 2. He clearly has a long-standing grudge against the United States. He was charged with leaking the identity of a covert operative and was imprisoned for several years. He also lost his standing within the American political establishment as a result. The story he tells about the case is one in which he is, of course, the Snowden-adjacent hero. Again, this strikes at the heart of disgruntled Americans who have firsthand experience with government corruption. 3. He lacks principle. He’s willing to accuse the U.S. government of corruption (hey, fair enough) while, ironically, happily accepting paychecks from the Russian government, one of the most corrupt governments in modern history and a sworn adversary of the United States. He rails against the U.S. and its alleged covert torture program (and he may be right about that, for argument’s sake), yet aligns himself with a regime that has openly and brutally tortured innocent people for generations. His excuse? They let him “say whatever he wants.” Either John is an idiot (he’s not), or he’s in on the operation. There’s only one reason the Russian government would hire him: to convince Americans to hate America. And what better salesman for that cause than a disgruntled former government agent with no sense of honor? This is precisely why Russian state media has also cozied up to figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Whether these influencers are selling out for clicks, money, ideology, or something in between, the end result is the same: convincing millions of Americans that the only solution left is to abandon America and burn it to the ground. Who, I wonder, might benefit from such an outcome?

I hope the media will point out, as Ian is doing below, that the Iranian promise to not develop nukes is same old bullshit as last time…..so if Trump touts this, as some type of big deal, the immediate reaction from the press must be to point this out. It’s really a giant bunch of blah blah.
original iran nuclear deal: “under no circumstances will iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapon.”

A lot of Russian assets across the globe have started a last ditch effort to save Russia from its looming defeat. The only right response is to increase help for the Ukrainian people, enabling them to finish the job. Once imperial Russia is no more, many „domestic“ problems will „miraculously“ disappear, because after all it has always been Russia and not a domestic issue.

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII. His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General. Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

Well it is intelligence of a kind: Russian disinformation. Peddled by the US DNI. Craziest goddamn time in history. And I’m including Nero.
“Including in Ukraine” Conspiracy theory masquerading as intelligence.

Nobody drops out of a 216-aircraft program with a support and logistics tail stretching into 2080 for the reasons Boeing announced. Either a performance problem (range?) or they can't win without another huge front-end loss and corporate has said "**** that for a lark."
NEW: Boeing is dropping out of the competition to build the U.S. Navy’s next trainer, a surprise move by the company that appeared to be a favorite and is already delivering its T-7A aviationweek.com/defense/air…
