Iconic photo; Ukrainian crew prepare a strike stone (OWA-UAV) for launch?during a snow storm, December 2025

Has anyone done any systematic size estimates for this submarine, particularly hull diameter? I have but want second opinions before sharing mine (as I might pollute the field)

China is preparing to to load at least 6 large stealthy UAVs, likely UCAVs (combat types) onto the Type-076 Yulan class assault carrier in Shanghai. This is next to the Q-ship demonstrator (3rd image) with containerized weapon so expect some form of exhibition

I heard this service receives glowing reviews. Mad Max only colder?

Is the armed forces's obsession with fitting everything inside a shipping container going too far? We asked @r-p-one.bsky.social

Don't normally repost Reuters, but this is interesting. Russian 'gun runner' Adler has been anchored off the Swedish coast for a little bit...

Two of my watercolour drawings of the Warrior, Portsmouth. These were both done (plus others) sitting on the shore near the dockyard entrance in the early '90s. The first one was sold and the second one is a rather dull photo of the original #art #watercolour #Portsmouth #Warrior #pleinair

Off topic. One of the coolest news stories for quite a while. Awesome. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Does this mean Britain can now blockade the United States pending the return of stolen land?

Yesterday I posted that the Russians had chained the sub in place. I am probably mistaken, it’s just squashed fenders. I was sure that they had attached direct to the sub but willing to admit that the consensus is against me.

Not sure how I missed this previously, must-read thread on Ukrainian Bars light cruise missile

Re the KILO class submarine attacked yesterday in Novorossiysk, it is telling that they didn’t move it. They moved the other submarines but not the one which they claim is undamaged

Of great interest, Russian Navy KILO class submarine struck in Novorossiysk, seemingly by an underwater drone (!).

The alleged presence of🇷🇺Russian warships near the port of🇧🇯Cotonou at the time of an attempted coup would constitute a strong strategic signal.
