If nothing else the Ukraine war, which has deployed a modicum of modern technology, has demonstrated that the era of the naval surface combatant and most armored land vehicles is over. The technology will only improve, become more stealthy, more lethal and easier to deploy and operate.

FWIW, Kalingrad is Russia, but separated from Russia proper by Lithuania and Poland. On the Baltic coast. Captured from the Nazis in 1945. Very rich area. I’ve been there on business. Bit like Switzerland. Used to be a major military location.

Ukraine is farther yet, to the South.

This sounds like just an accident, to me. But anything is possible in this war.

A prolonged proxy war gives the world wide military industrial complex an opportunity to test their latest and greatest technologies.

Ukraine's Ammunition Crisis Persists as Western Desperation Grows

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for April 8, 2024…

- Ukrainian forces continue losing territory as arms, ammunition, and manpower shortages continue to grow;

- Ammunition "initiatives" across Europe claiming to have found "millions" of artillery rounds gloss over important factors such as caliber, interoperability, and the condition of rounds held in storage;

- At best, the initiatives will temporarily provide Ukraine with enough ammunition to match previous rates of fire, but other critical shortages will continue to grow meaning the vector sum of the fighting will still favor Russian forces;

- Attempts by the US and Europe to intervene in Ukraine as a means of checking Russian advances may end in even worse defeat for the collective West;

- Attempts by Ukraine to target Russian oil refineries have led Western analysts to falsely conflate fuel export bans with perceived damage and repair efforts;

- Claims that Russia is unable to repair energy production infrastructure are based on the same flawed reasoning that led many Western analysts to assume Russia's military industrial base would be crippled following Western sanctions;

Which they will turn on the citizenry once they think they have the power and free space to do so without consequences.

We’ll have a good example in Russia, flatten their own cities, tell those windows to shut up, empty prisons and send to front. No freedom of speech, no freedom to assemble, yup great template

What about the warmongering, war-instigating and war-fomenting monster in Washington D.C.?
