[Horrible timing. This could help Russia’s invasion. The military strategy books will have to be re-written to factor in drones and other modern technology.]


This isn’t new tech, but Albania is allegedly supplying 60mm Chinese-made mortar rounds to Ukraine, which has adopted the M224.

You keep pinging me, I’m not on your ping list, I prefer to just read the threads on my own.

Interesting. Albania had been more or less aligned with China during part of the Cold War. I guess Albania isn’t thrilled with the possibility of a renewed Russian empire so they are helping Ukraine.

Agree 100%.
The up side is the shells are “dumb” bombs for now.

This war will indeed add to warfare classes in many subjects.

It's been a war of attrition between Ukrainians (fighting for their lives, but clearly not spending them needlessly, and understanding their adversaries much better than we do, and better than their adversaries understand them) and undermotivated, undercompensated, and overworked invaders from Russia and various puppet states controlled by Russia. Putin's "effectives" and "bayonets" have become stuff to fill graves.
