O/T as a side note, while in CA to liquidate a flat panel line that a major chemical company was going to use to make SIMM chips as well as screens for smartphones (the chemicals used to make these is where the real money is) they also asked me to assess old Large pilot plants for herbicides and pesticides which had been reconfigured by an Iraqi born R&D chemist to make chem weapons agents. The same equipment can be used to make specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, even baby formula. You don't need a large complex to make chem weapons agents but actually could fit in a 3 car garage with ease. You are not trying to capture a major share of a consumer market.

Two Russian Su-27 aircraft forced down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Black Sea in international airspace. US General James B. Hecker stated that two Russian aircraft hit the drone nearly causing both aircraft to crash and resulting in the loss of the drone.

Apologies to the thread.
I happened upon your very next post after the one above:
Your self-proclaimed mastery of Scrabble and WWF may be entirely accurate but neither game penalizes you for not knowing the meaning of the words you play or mixing up homophones which you did twice since doubling down on "behoove".
We all make spelling/grammar errors and misuse words on occasion but it behooves a person to just take the ribbing, maybe mutter a mea culpa, and go about the day.
To the thread:
Long thread by Mick Ryan on Ukraine vis a vis seizing the initiative:

I saw Japan is ditching their Apaches and Cobras in favor of drones. LINK
I'm sure that has been brought up in the past. But, has the war rendered attack helicopters obsolete? I would assume the time was coming anyways.
I know Chinooks, Blackhawks, etc. will still be valuable for transport, med evac. But, any attack helis near the front seem too vulnerable with advancing drone, missile technology, etc. And I would assume one day all aerial aviation will be drone, AI. Sign of the times I guess.

Does anyone know if these actually work? Apparently a number have been deployed in the Kerch strait to counter radar guided munitions.

British Defence Intelligence
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 15 March 2023
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
Since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russian public officials and workers have been subject to increasingly severe foreign travel restrictions. Some officials have likely had to forfeit their passports to the Federal Security Service. Employees closer to the centre of power face more severe restrictions; Kremlin officials are banned from all international leisure travel.
This is a widening of existing measures which date from the Soviet era. Travel restrictions were tightened after the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014.
The measures are likely designed to prevent the flight or defection of increasingly disaffected officials. There is a realistic possibility that as the securitisation of the Russian state continues, travel restrictions will be tightened for an increasing number of public sector employees.

The Dutch are giving Ukraine an M3 pontoon bridge and ferry system.

Although we are all expecting the Ukrainian spring offensive to take place somewhere from Mariupol to Melitopol, it seems that Ukraine wants to keep open the possibility of bridging the Dnipro and attacking from Kherson.

That just seems like it would be very hard to do. It’s all marshy with small roads. It seems like you would have to make your beachhead north or south of Kherson.

So both Russian fighter jets hit the drone? This is propaganda.
Russia shot down our drone or rammed it knowing it would crash.

Their final real stand is in Bakhmut. The floodgates open once the rest of the city falls.
This is their version of Stalingrad.
