Yes, because the Allies fought an efficient war and valued the lives of their troops rather than a totally reckless and cruel one the Soviet leadership did.

Interesting piece, really drives home just how far out naval planners have to think, & the demands that places on force design Below paragraph really hits the nail on the head; especially with some commentary around Black/Red Sea trying to push the idea naval power is dead

Seems like there was a real missed opportunity in using the savings from reducing the Winter Fuel payments to kick start the 🇬🇧’s small modular reactor journey Long lead times for sure but the sooner we start, the sooner the spicy rock will bring us an energy revolution

The best time to build reactors was 10 years ago. The second best time is now 👍

Somehow 10 months after the Czech government did so and after years of pondering it, but a win’s a win

Europe's missile defense will have munitions for one to two weeks. By then, we will either have established air dominance, or Russian missiles and drones will devastate our infrastructure and economies. The central question, of course, is how European states plan to establish

Cold War Sagger anti-tank missile & the modern day fibre optic drone: Cheap, wire guided, deadly to vehicles, difficult to defeat. One was faster, the other has a camera Separated by half a century but plenty of similarities. What lessons can we pull through from then for now?

In the 6th century Emperor Maurice wrote a handbook on Roman/Byzantine strategy, which includes a chapter with tips for dealing with enemies one might face. He said of the Franks: “They are hurt by lack of provisions, especially of wine” Some things never change… 🇫🇷

Some thoughts from myself & Patrick Triglavcanin Having had the pleasure of working with Patrick for a year, it always struck us how little of 🇦🇺’s (often quite intense) AUKUS debate gets picked up in 🇬🇧 We outline those debates & why it is important for 🇬🇧 to pay closer attention

Impressive stuff from 🇨🇿 in essentially levelling the artillery playing field for 🇺🇦 This is why it infuriates me when anyone says 🇬🇧 has limited options because it isn’t a ‘superpower’ or is ‘irrelevant’ etc - that attitude is simply a lack of imagination and/or energy
