It’s not just that the USA is now untrustworthy. The evidence from the Gulf shows that the US military and defence sector have learned little or nothing from 4 years of conflict in Ukraine.
A combination of complacency and overwhelming arrogance.
It now has little to offer Ukraine and should be charged top dollar for Ukraine’s expertise. Assuming Trump and his stooges can be trusted not to pass it across to their friends in Moscow.
I seem to remember that the Abrams main battle tank when it first came out in the 80s I think had the ability to fire its main gun on the move. Whatever happened to that technology, has it improved, and can it be used on a modern battle field to counter drones so that "shoot and scoot" just becomes "keep scooting!"
Jeff, I just made a video yesterday about the Canadian Grizzly LAV, and the RCH-155. It has the ability to shoot on the move, which is more impressive for artillery than a main battle tank, I think.
My question about the Drone-Lite is how can it perform against a drone swarm? Reading the link from the manufacturer it says the laser punches holes in the drone using light instead of a bullet. So will you need a swarm of lasers to defend against the drones? Doesn't seem terribly efficient.
Hi John, I'm not the laser expert, check out Jared Keller here on Substack at https://www.laserwars.net/ but I believe the benefit is that lasers move at the speed of light and can fire more or less continuously across multiple inbound targets.

Terrific news and analysis found nowhere else .

Okay thanks Wes. Otherwise it seemed to me like shooting starlings with a .22 rather than a 12 gauge loaded with .00 buckshot.
