9 August 2024 Just when we were focussed on what Iran would do as retaliation for the Haniyeh assassination by elements claimed to be authorised by Tel Aviv, the past 48 hours has seen a small but stunning development that has been now reviewed from very many aspects of the ongoing Special Military Operations in […]
15 May 2023 Like Normandy and D Day, considerable expectations have been built up over the type of offensive the Ukrainian Armed Forces now bolstered and replenished with Western armour and armoury would launch across the Dnieper river, into Donbas, with the end goal of throwing out those Russians all the way to the International […]
12 January 2023 Soledar has fallen, even though the West is officially yet to concede this. It is a huge victory for the Russian ground forces, and when this is widened to include Artemovsk and Bahmut main, the position of the Russians now in the centre of Ukraine appears very poised militarily. Coincidentally and may […]
