Hello again. Monday 13 October is Day 1328 of Russia's latest war. Where will be next? And when? It is WHEN and not IF... unless Russia is beaten here. Allowing Russia a "peace deal" where they stolen land is permitted, where their army is battle hardened and intact would be another huge blunder.
Ukraine’s FrankenSAM program continues to deliver battlefield innovation: one system features a modified Soviet Buk launcher adapted to fire Western RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles.
