As promised...here's a thread on all my writing about "kamikaze drone" attacks orchestrated by #Russia vs. #Ukraine

On the first seven days of July the Ukrainians claim to have shot down 21. Since September 2022 the Ukrainians shot down 1,092 Geran/Shahed drones. 2/9

My update for June-July is below. Findings:

In 2 mos. Russia managed to unleash several hundred Geran/Shahed drones vs. Ukraine. Huge volume.

Ukraine needs more air defenses!

Just a quick #thread on a topic being ignored that's connected to the war in #Ukraine

It seems #Iran after all is the biggest winner as, for the first time in its history, it gains full access to a huge market: Russia.

The world forgets #Iran is an industrialized country. 2/6

This week it was announced Iranian entities--mainly gov't owned high tech manufacturers--are poised to fill in as subcontractors and suppliers for Russia's car industry, which has ground to a halt since March.

Some of you might find this thread interesting.

With the #USA embroiled in Europe bec. of the war in Ukraine it has ignored #Iran whose current agenda is: building an economic bloc in Eurasia.

The effort is an impressive one, and very ambitious. 2/7

This has nothing to do with the usual #Iran fodder about drones or missiles and everything to do with trade.

The big picture that emerges is #Iran is laying the groundwork for a post-oil export driven economy.

A genuine surprise is the sudden friendship with #Tajikistan

THREAD!

Let's have a thread on rocket artillery.

#RocketArtillery

The Good News: Everybody likes them!!!

The Bad News: The US military and major western powers can't compete 😒

1/-- The current trend among militaries who are supplied by national "defense" industries with rocket artillery is to go bigger...and bigger.

Don't look at #NorthKorea

How about #India ?

2/--
