    British aircraft nukes again?

    I recently read that France is considering deploying some nuclear capable Rafales to Germany, to strengthen deterrence further east. I thought this was interesting enough and it might be useful if the British did it as well, but of course they retired their aircraft nukes in 1998 and now only...

    Captured western armoured vehicles displayed in Russia

    Thought would be of interest to have a topic on this subject, rather than keep spreading such stuff in various threads. Among the big ticket items are Leopard, possibly Abrams tanks, Bradley IFV, and a variety of other stuff. Feel free to add anything else of interest that was/is/will be shown...

    UK Air Defense Guns to Ukraine

    News coming out of PM Rishi Sunak’s visit to Ukraine suggests about 120 British AD guns being sent to counter Russian aerial threats. Big question in my mind: Does the UK have AD guns in any significant number? I thought we ditched the Bofors in the 70’s and went with Rapier and Blowpipe.
