Like Odysseus and the Cyclops!

The Cyclops is not stupid, but blinded and pissed, Odysseus and his crew hung out low and unobserved, for a clean escape. Soon the Russians will be mostly blind, and what working radar still exists, they dare not move from Moscow.

And with so much careless smoking...

So the US is at war with Russia AND Germany. And for what? The reserve dollar hegemony.

The CIA’s downing of a Russian jet isn’t going to fix the fact that Russia has far more artillery pieces and vastly more artillery shells as well as far higher production numbers. The front keeps moving west.

EurAsian Times is an interesting source. Think Eur-Asia? Oddly, no. It is a subsidiary of a larger New Dehli concern, but....

A whoisquery returns:

eurasiantimes.com

Domain: eurasiantimes.com
Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC
Registered On: 2014-09-16
Organization: Domains By Proxy, LLC
Street: 2155 E Warner Rd
City: Tempe
State: Arizona

Nameserver data shows the website hosted in Kansas.

It says of itself: "The EurAsian Times is an Independent, Privately-Owned, Global, Virtual & Apolitical Digital News Site that specializes in reporting news and editorials on Defense and Global Affairs."

And yet, website registered in the US and privacy protected by a firm in Arizona, its official mailing address in neither in the US nor India. It is according to their own site:

Mailing Address (bottom of the page)

21 Laredo Court, Toronto, Canada, M2M 4H8

All this is interesting and pertinent because the Eurasia article mentions "Longshot." This is currently under development in San Diego.

One reads: "General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is pleased to continue supporting the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) LongShot program. LongShot changes the paradigm of air combat operations by demonstrating an unmanned air-launched vehicle capable of employing air-to-air weapons."

GA-ASI Continues LongShot Support 6 March 2023

Most specifically, the San Diego company stated: "“GA-ASI is committed to the successful flight demonstration of the LongShot air vehicle,” said GA-ASI Senior Director of Advanced Programs Michael Atwood. Upcoming Phase 2 ground tests will demonstrate the viability of key subsystems. Phase 3 would initiate the prototype manufacturing and flight testing phase of the program. Flight testing would begin in 2024." The article did not report that.

So, an Indian website, registered, hosted and privacy protected in the United States, with its documented mail address in Canada, features a weapons system not yet in production by a company in San Diego. All in the context of speculating with "some experts suggest" and "may be a reality IMO (in my opinion)." Although the same article also says it could have been "friendly fire." So many options from which to choose.

It is interesting to look behind the curtain to see which wizard is pulling which lever.

Actually, the UKR uses the shell of S-200s to do the job. Nothing inside is stock, all different, far longer range. No drones need apply.

“receive targeting data from Western surveillance”

Could be considered an act of war.

Ukraine Loses More Villages, Zelenskyy visits Riyadh

Ukrainian forces have withdrawn from two more villages near the eastern town of Advikka, which was captured by Russian troops earlier this month. Ukrainian military spokesperson Dmytro Lykhoviy said troops withdrew from the villages of Severne and Stepove on Tuesday. This follows a retreat from the eastern village of Lastochkyne on Monday.

The Russian defence ministry too announced that its forces now “occupied more advantageous lines and positions” in the area, and had now targeted three other settlements nearby. The capture of Avdiivka in Donetsk Oblast is seen as Russia’s most significant win since it seized the war-devastated city of Bakhmut in May last year.

Just like we are seeing armor become non-survivable on the modern battlefield, the same problem’s starting to apply to non-stealth military aircraft in or even near contested air space. Countermeasures are being countered.

If it moves and we can see it/track it, we can kill it.

Then we can talk about all surface Naval vessels. Which we will be talking about after we lose the first carrier, probably not long from now.
