Iran’s Ballistic Missiles Could Give Russia the Edge in Ukraine

February 1, 2023 By Steve Schneider

The air defense systems currently operated by Ukraine cannot counter enemy ballistic missiles or anti-aircraft missiles that fly along ballistic trajectories, says Air Force Colonel Yuri Ignat. He was quoted as saying, “The main threat that hangs in the air and can still be implemented is, of course, Iranian missiles. Russia has not abandoned its intentions to receive from Iran kamikaze drones and, in a certain way, missiles, which were announced earlier – Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar. We understand that Russia also has ballistics in the form of those same Kinzhal missiles. This is actually a … [Read more...]

DART: NASA Hits Bullseye with New Asteroid Defense Weapon

October 13, 2022 By Steve Schneider

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the first planetary defense technology demonstrator, traveled ten months in space and successfully impacted and altered the path of an egg-shaped asteroid called Dimorphos. Dimorphos is roughly the size of a football field, and it orbits a parent asteroid five times larger than itself. DART, which was no bigger than a refrigerator, slammed into Dimorphos at about 14,000 miles per hour. Steve Gorman of Reuters reports that DART succeeded in nudging the rocky moonlet from its natural path into a faster orbit. He continues (Abridged): The … [Read more...]

Ukraine’s Home-Grown Anti-Tank Weapon is Shredding Russian Armored Columns

April 29, 2022 By Steve Schneider

According to BBC, "Russia has lost some 460 tanks and over 2,000 armored vehicles", but Ukraine is claiming Russia has lost more than 680 tanks. "What Syria taught us about tanks", is that any tank is vulnerable to the proliferation and continued development of long-range ATGM’s. Ukraine’s remotely controlled homegrown anti-tank weapon, the Stugna-P ATGM (a.k.a. Skif), developed by Luch Design Bureau, is shredding Russian armored columns. The Stugna-P is a true force multiplier, says Brent M. Eastwood of 19fortyfive.com. He writes (abridged): Russian tanks are dying at the hands of another … [Read more...]

The U.S. Quietly Pushing Hypersonic Development on All Fronts

This is the second successful flight test in DARPA’s HAWC program. The first successful test was carried out by … [Read more...]

How Ukraine Is Using Cheap Tech to Fend Off a Superpower

April 8, 2022 By Steve Schneider

Ukrainian soldiers are using inexpensive consumer drones from DJI to locate Russian tank and troop columns and then using those coordinates to guide mortars and set up ambushes. To counter this effective tactic, the Russians have used an extended version of DJI’s Aeroscope system, which is a public safety system normally used for locating the drones and their operators. With that information in hand, Russia is targeting the drones as they land near their operators. Kherson Oblast.

The A-10 Deserves a Warrior’s Death

April 8, 2022 By Steve Schneider

Warriors deserve a warrior’s death, not a retirement spent rusting away in the desert. The Bushido taught samurai, “death before dishonor.” The A-10, one of the USAF’s most iconic planes, deserves a warrior’s death. The plane was developed in the middle of the Cold War with a specific type of warfare in mind, to kill Soviet tanks on the front line. It has a chance to do that before being shuffled off into memory. Instead of sending America’s most iconic aircraft to the desert for zero dollars, Erik Prince says, “send them to Ukraine on a lend-lease policy.” Air Force Asks to Retire … [Read more...]

Ukraine War Is an “Intelligence Bonanza” for the West

March 18, 2022 By Steve Schneider

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, a lot military intelligence has been gathered. Recently, reports of odd munitions on the ground in Ukraine had ballistic experts stumped. The rounds were thought to be some sort of bomblets or cluster bombs. Further investigation has shown that, in fact, they were released from Russian Iskander-M short-range missiles, reported The New York Times. The munitions were decoys to fool air-defense radars and heat-seeking defensive missiles. The munitions emit radio signals and heat reports to fool defenses, reports Julie Coleman of Business Insider. She … [Read more...]

If you've been following the news, you've no doubt heard the term "javelin missile."
