The west seem to unable to comprehent that people of Southeast Asia aren’t interest in any SEATO style treaty (yes, they tried this before) so much that the formation of ASEAN were made with the sheer, explicit intend of not being a SEATO-style treaty to prevent the kind of disaster that happened back during the Cold War.

Hell, they even destroyed more Russian artillery than ever build since WWII.

Nukes have such unique detonation characteristic that it’s quite hard to hide, especially since we have tons of eyes on the whole area for decades. While I would not be surprise if this is real, I’d want more concrete evident first that it’s actually a nuke and not simply salt the ground with U-235 (for some reasons).

Well…what do you expected would happened when the defending side effectively announced that a huge chunk of the reserve that would have been reinforcing the frontline suddenly weren’t there anymore.

Someone took “thesis defense” a bit too far.

Where have I heard that before…

Every times I tried to give the British some benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe my opinion of them has been too harsh in the past, something like this always happened.

Loss will definitely be high in such scenario. Bombarding a city to rubles rarely work to the advantage of the invader. It didn’t work in German favor during Battle of Stalingrad. It didn’t work in British’s favor during Battle of Caen. I doubt it would work in IDF favor here, especially against people who have a lot of explosives and nothing to lose.

But yeah, it’s going to be ugly, especially consider how little IDF care about collateral damage.

“Commands are sent via WhatsApp groups.”

I want to see how my former OPSEC instructor would react to this information.

To be fair, they did heard of Ukraine before 2022. They’re a lot of yelling and screaming back in 2014-2015 after Crimea succeeded from Ukraine, which lots of American loss their shit because you shouldn’t have the self-determination that doesn’t align with Westerner’s agenda, apparently.

…again?

Sometimes China didn’t even need to do anything.

Toilet paper, for example.

Russian-affiliated sources seem to collaborated those number, though most of them were shot down. Number are a bit conflicting, but as far as I can tell, 3 of them hit residential buildings while another 10 made it through but didn’t hit anything except probably some tree.
