A two-week Iran-US ceasefire took effect overnight, halting hostilities in the Middle East and reopening tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Before we assess the situation, one clarification: what actually happened here is the implementation of a plan designed entirely by Pakistan. Beyond that, this is not a full end to the military confrontation […]
A month of war with Iran clearly showed leading democratic countries of the world never thought to study Ukraine’s 4-year war and draw useful conclusions from it. This confirms the old truth that generals always prepare for the last war. But politicians and military-industrial complexes of these countries don’t prepare even for the last war. […]
A few days ago, The Atlantic published an interview with the CEO of Rheinmetall, who weighed in on Ukraine’s so-called “kitchen drones” and claimed that its defense industry lacks innovation. According to him, the widespread belief that Ukrainian manufacturers are among the most advanced in the field has nothing to do with reality. If you’ve […]
This is a translation of reflections by a well-known Ukrainian volunteer who goes by the nickname “Pan Hotelier“. Let’s talk about the red lines of the 21st century — or the taboos of the modern world order.

This is the second part of the Orcs’¹ Spring offensive analysis. Don’t forget to check the first part to get the full picture.

This is the first part of an analytical article on the Russian Spring Offensive. The next part will come later — once the shelling stops and a stable internet connection is available. Western amateur analysts who constantly publish their impressions of the war in Ukraine unanimously write that Orcs¹ indeed launched their spring-summer offensive campaign […]
I think time has come to tell about Ukrainian heavy bomber drones and lay out information on shelves. No secrecy in this publication exists — everything is in open access. Here information is simply collected. We’ve used heavy bombers for a long time. If you follow the war in Ukraine, you probably heard the name […]
Increasingly more analysts converge on the thought that continuing military operation in Iran brings the US more problems than profit. Indeed, the operation has dragged on for two weeks, and a strait of Hormuz Blockade could create far greater problems. A simple question: “What are the States doing there now?” — seemingly has no coherent […]
Still cautiously, but nevertheless it’s possible to state that enemy air defense started the same path that russian tanks and the russian Black Sea Fleet previously traveled. The path to hell. Everyone knows that before the full-scale invasion began, the enemy had colossal superiority in anti-aircraft means — both regarding weapons and ammunition for them. […]
In recent days, a pile of experts of various calibers try to explain what Donnie wants with the Iranian war. These explanations contradict not only each other but most often themselves.
