Every day in every way, Ukraine is growing stronger and stronger. With its resilience, courage, bravery, indomitable spirit and #volia, we must stand firm in the belief and have faith that, just as David conquered Goliath, Ukraine will find a way to conquer Russia. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukraine announced on June 13 that it’s short-range Sapsan ballistic missile would go into mass production, a major development in Kyiv’s ongoing efforts to domestically produce the weapons it needs to fight Russia’s full-scale invasion.

As Ukraine faces growing challenges in securing weapons from Western partners, and Russia continues launching drone and missile strikes on civilians, the development of Ukraine’s missile production is seen as a critical step toward strengthening its defense capabilities.

“The very emergence of domestic ballistic missiles is a bold political statement — a big, fat middle finger to the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine must be demilitarized,” Defense Express military expert, Ivan Kyrychevsky, told the Kyiv Independent.

The F-5 Freedom Fighter is the first Aircraft you get to play in the Game, and I initially didn’t think very highly of it. But as I learned more from Tutorials and Experience, I got to appreciate the Aircraft a lot because of its high Maneuverability if used properly, and keeping a close eye on the Turn Rate Indicator (TRI)

This was initially released as an Article last March 4, 2025 at https://therhk111philippinedefenseupdates.blogspot.com/2025/03/f-5-freedom-fighter-metalstorm-review-first-aircraft-game-very-maneuverable.html

Dear Philippine Army (PA) Chief Lieutenant General Roy Galido, and also to the Rest of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) itself: To avoid confusion, stop using the Term, “Mid-Range Capability or MRC” if you don’t mean it to be the “Typhon” Missile System of the United States (US).

As far as I know, only the Typhon uses that Term, that is why it is in it’s entire Name, which is the “Typhon Mid-Range Capability (MRC)”. If you really mean other Weapons System, then use a more General Term, like “Short Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM)” for Example which the Encyclopedia Britannica says are Missiles with a Range of around 480 km.

I think you can also use “Short Range Missiles (SRM)” to refer to non-Ballistic or Cruise Missiles with similar Range. If the PA really wants to get Missiles with only around a 370 km Range, which by the Way is not enough to reach China when fired from Luzon, then get the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and its new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).

The PrSM’s maximum Range of 500 km still won’t be enough to reach China when fired from Luzon and thus won’t offend them as much, but will more than cover our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
