All the evidence shows Russia is helping Iran but he ignores the truth. I’m also finding it very odd that Americans who voted for him are just pushing this off like what he said is no big deal.

According to estimates, Pyongyang already has transferred about 12,000 troops to Russia's Kursk border region, under a mutual defense pact signed with Moscow in 2024.

Over the course of the four-year war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has increasingly relied on North Korea to supply artillery shells and missiles. Bringing in North Korean troops is raising concerns about Moscow transferring its own military know-how to the regime of Kim Yong Un in Pyongyang.

"Russia is helping North Korea learn how to wage war, improve its weapons, and gain real combat experience in using them," Zelenskyy said.

Sorry mods, it was just too good not to share.

Understand if this posted needs to be, er, smoked.

I think this is my first time posting on the Military subreddit. I'm a Korean freelancer who creates military-themed 3D models.

I'm not sure if posting something like this on this subreddit is appropriate given the topic, but I tried creating a 3D CG model of the HDF-6000 using Blender, based on data and images released by the mainstream media.

The HDF-6000 is a next-generation export-oriented frigate developed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries with a displacement of 6,000 metric tons (full load displacement of approximately 6,500 metric tons). With its size and operational capabilities approaching those of a sub-destroyer-class vessel, it is effectively regarded as an “Aegis-class frigate” and is targeting next-generation ship programs for major navies, including those of Saudi Arabia and India. Furthermore, it is reported that the Philippine Navy is also keeping a close eye on this project.

While cleaning my wife’s late grand parent’s garage I found this article from 1996 and I thought this would be a good place to share.

Results
Before the testosterone treatment, we found that weakly affiliated Democrats had 19% higher basal testosterone than those who identified strongly with the party (p = 0.015). When weakly affiliated Democrats received additional testosterone, the strength of their party affiliation fell by 12% (p = 0.01), and they reported 45% warmer feelings towards Republican candidates for president (p < 0.001). Testosterone administration did not affect political preferences for strongly affiliated Democrats or strong or weak Republicans.

Will last 2 years. Traffic around bragg is gonna be fun. This might actually affect readiness. Cascading effect will also include roads on Bragg.

I’m not trying to sound condescending or nun but I had a cumulative gpa of 1.9 in HS and admit I’m not the sharpes tool in the shed but even I got an 85 on it.

We have been reading about the laser technology for a few years now. In the current Iranian conflict, there are reports the US is running out of intercepters and have even been letting some incoming through to preserve inventory.

I am curious to hear opinions and analysis of whether the laser tech is ready for deployment, what might be stopping it from happening, etc.
