2026/02/02

We should expect to see more of this in 2026Today we're looking into Ukraine's new search and destroy tactics that they're using to clear the Russians out of certain areas along the front.

The cold favors the defender in this caseToday we're looking at how the frigid cold weather is affecting operations at the front, specifically how it's costing Russia soldiers as they try to advance.

2026/01/22

We're close to NATO being little more than a piece of paperToday we're looking into the recent discussions at Davos where a major takeaway was the rift in NATO.
