Here are two key concepts for you --
1. Federalized Airpower - local ground unit as opposed to theater air commander asset
2. Kill Chains.
#1 has to do with every ground unit from platoon up owning a bit of airpower (a small UAV) outside central air command.

This drone kit is one of those subtle military technology developments that is in fact a game changer that brings those two ideas into reality.

I've spent the last few hours reposting my 2022 to date take down's of Alex Vershinin's "Truck beer math" (from the Nov. 2021 War on the Rocks article "Feeding the Bear") which I used to review this Tochnyi article⬇️
TLDR: Tochnyi screwed up & used Vershinin's disproven work.

Specifically this bit stating Russian trucks did three trips a day because they spent one hour loading and one hour unloading trucks.
That is, like Alex Vershinin, they assumed mechanized logistics loading times with pallets & forklifts⬇️

This is Alex Vershinin's truck "Beer Math" for comparison.
It assumes 45 miles vice 50 km, but both show the same mirror imaging of Western mechanized logistics on Red/Russian Army non-mechanized logistics.

1/ Hyperliquid may be the most important crypto project people are still underestimating.
Not because it has good memes.
Because it is building what looks like the first serious on-chain financial exchange with real product-market fit, real revenue, and a token that actually captures value.

2/ Most crypto projects sell a dream.
Hyperliquid is already selling a product traders use every day.
Perps.
Spot.
On-chain order books.
Self-custody.
Fast execution.
Real liquidity.
This is not “maybe users will come later.”
Users are already here.

3/ The numbers are getting hard to ignore.
Hyperliquid has processed hundreds of billions in trading volume and is now one of the dominant venues for on-chain perpetual futures.
That matters because perps are one of the highest-volume products in all of crypto.

One is a kirpan: the ceremonial blade Sikhs carry to protect others.
The other is a charra: an Afghan tribal murder dagger built to punch through cloth and armor.
Guess which one killed Henry Nowak?
Nothing religious about this. A murder weapon sanctioned by suicidal empathy.

Conditioning any aid to Israel on kicking Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, and their parties, out of the government would be doing Israel a favor.
At the core, I support Israel as a Jewish state. I also support a state for Palestinian Arabs, to be clear. Statelessness is not an acceptable condition for people.
Israel does need to understand that there are limits and that's for its own good.
Israel does need to understand that there are limits and that's for its own good.
The mainstreaming of Kahanists has to be a red line and America needs to make it clear to Israel that this a path to ruin. I don't think this can be done gently any longer.
Israel can vote for who it wants, sure, but there are consequences to going insane.

This thread is full of leftists acting like they're having some kind of revelation about Woke working exactly how it was obviously designed to work.
Hear me out, maybe the "epistemic pitfall" wasn't a pitfall, because being racist against white people, for example, WAS THE POINT.

Also LoL at Pot of Greed guy replying w/ the exact same thing OP is talking about. "Racism against white people was an excuse for MISOGYNY." Except it was mostly used by "women of color."
These people fundamentally haven't changed, they're just recalibrating the oppression stack.

Wokies weren't "doing something else." They wanted to be racist against white people, sexist against men, etc, (also commit theft) & they shored up an enforcement system that if you criticized them for it, they'd ostracize & punish you. That's it. That's the movement.
INSANE.
Mark Carney’s combatting antisemitism committee includes the Islamist Omar Alghabra, who called for terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah to be legalized. It also includes notorious lawyer for Jew-haters, Avnish Nanda.

I wonder if Carney’s Islamophobia committee will have several Zionist activists on it, like Carney has placed several Hamas supporters on this combatting antisemitism committee. What a disgrace. And of course Marc Gold is fine with all this — he’s a Liberal first and foremost.
Watch that video above about Alghabra. He called on a police chief to resign because he visited Israel. That’s pure antisemitism. Alghabra must be laughing so hard. I’m surprised they didn’t appoint Mohamed Fakih.

He tries again: "I've been stabbed"
Someone, I presume, the murderer, cuts in: "He hasn't been stabbed"
"I know, but we have to check" says the clipboard-voiced woman officer
The kneejerk "I know" is so telling. Her instinct is just to agree the dying boy on the ground is lying

THREAD: This tenth trip to Ukraine felt different than the ones before; again & again, we were hustled down dark stairwells into bunkers as Putin attacked the country with missiles and drones, escalating cruelty that signals his desperation. 1/
Russia cannot sustain the current pace in lives, land, & money. Ukrainian heroism is turning the tide, with undeniable indelible costs. We saw the bombed & burned-out apartments & malls, still smelling of fire. 2/
We met with rescue workers who rushed into the flames seeking to save helpless civilian victims. We spoke with children kidnapped & held by Russia—among the more than 20,000 taken by force & often compelled to fight for Russia. 3/
