We invite you to explore a review of the week's events and materials, with a brief description that we have compiled for you in this article.
Leopard 2
The 33rd Mechanized Brigade is equipped with Leopard 2A4 tanks, one of which has received the telling nickname "Fluffy" due to its camouflage designed for combat in wooded areas.
We explain why you shouldn't place a "mangal" on the "fluffy" Leopard 2A4 and what advantages this tank has compared to the T-64.
JF-17
Back in October 2024, during the international exercises "Indu Shield" in Pakistan, negotiations took place with Iran, which showed interest in purchasing specifically the Pakistani-Chinese JF-17 fighters.
An important detail is that the Iranian delegation included the commander of the country's Air Force, Hamid Vahedi, which strongly suggests a genuine interest in the aircraft rather than a merely formal meeting. We discuss why Iran has shown interest in the Chinese JF-17 from Pakistan.
A-10
The United States has a long history of plans to retire its A-10 attack aircraft, ultimately aiming to complete this process by 2030, which is the maximum possible timeline.
At the same time, last year the U.S. decided to significantly expedite the retirement of these planes, sending 39 attack aircraft "into retirement" at once. We explain how the U.S. doubled the pace of A-10 retirements and why even wing replacements don't save the situation.
Su-25
Recently, footage surfaced showing our modified Su-25 attack aircraft using French AASM Hammer guided bombs to strike at the Rashists. Although there had been public rumors before about the Su-25 being updated for this weaponry, we can now see the complete picture.
We discuss what the first video reveals about our Su-25 dropping AASM Hammer bombs from France.
Iranian Air Defense Systems for Russia
Photos have emerged online showing that the Iranian port on the Caspian Sea is supposedly receiving not only the Fath-360 missile systems but also the Arman air defense systems.
We report on the rumors that Iran is allegedly ready to provide Russia with its latest Arman air defense systems in addition to the Fath-360 missiles.
