It's been so long since F-111s were flying that I doubt it would be cost-effective to turn them into drones. Ex-Luftwaffe Tornados, on the other hand...now that might work and they're still (just) in service. The Tonka had excellent terrain-following capabilities.
 
I am talking about one way missiles…big bloody missiles.
 
Well we joked about it…

Eric and Eliot welcome Australian MG (ret.) Mick Ryan to the show to discuss his new book, The War For Ukraine: Strategy and Adaptation under Fire (Naval Institute Press, 2024). They examine the initial strategies pursued by Russia and Ukraine as well as the assumptions that underpinned those strategies as well as considering how the two sides have adapted to changing conditions on the battlefield. They discuss the role of leadership and Ukraine's demonstration of greater ability to implement innovation in tactics on the battlefield from the ground up. Eliot and Mick discuss the difference between the relatively unchanging nature of war as opposed to the evolving character of war and how new technology and doctrine can make a difference in comparative advantage between adversaries. They discuss civil-military strains in both Ukraine and Russia, Russian challenges with mobilization of manpower as well as Ukraine's difficulties with both manpower and training as well as absorbing some of the high end equipment they have received from NATO allies and other partners. They consider the current state of the battlefield, the Kursk offensive by Ukrainian forces and some of the flaws in US and NATO military advice and decision-making during the course of the war.
 
The JSU 152 was one of my favorite pieces in Avalon-Hill's "Panzer Blitz" game. Too bad there's only one working PZKW VI. At least the AFU has Marders.

Lol, I thought you were talking about the guy in the foreground taking a puff off his cigarette.
 
''...We are all military veterans who understand North Korea's military culture and psychological state better than anyone else...''

''...We're ready to go wherever needed to work as psychological warfare agents - through loudspeaker broadcasts, distributing leaflets, and even acting as interpreters...''

''...North Korean soldiers are there essentially as mercenaries, but we would go as volunteers with a goodwill mission," Lee said. "Simply our presence in Ukraine could significantly impact the morale of North Korean troops," he added, expressing hope that the Ukrainian government would welcome their offer...''

North Korean defectors seek Ukraine deployment to wage psychological war on ex-comrades
