Greece: Upgrade for Leopard 1A5 tank revealed.
(Athens) Greece has a fairly large tank force consisting on paper of:
Greek Leopard 1A5 |
Centauro 2 |
It also involves updating the tank's turret
and hull with advanced systems and technologies whilst retaining the 105mm
cannon, which will allow for the large stockpile of existing ammunition to not
go to waste. For protection (with lessons learnt in the Ukraine) the latest
reactive and passive armour will be fitted, which will be backed up by an active protection sensor suite all of
which will increase the weight of the tank to 46 tonnes.
of course this upgrade as a complete revamp of the Leopard 1 will be just that little bit more expensive than the Italian version. Just have to wait and see what the Greeks select.

Ukraine: A huge mistake by Kyiv sees Russians advance 5 miles in hours.
(Donbas) So during a roulement change over on the front line between the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade and its replacement the 115th Mechanized Brigade for some reason or other left the defensive positions the 47th had been holding empty, Russian forces noticing that error, cashed in by quickly sending forces to rush forward and take those positions before the 115th took over, which resulted in the Russians advancing 5 kilometres into Ukrainian territory, only a counterattack by the Ukrainian 100th Mechanized Brigade stopped the Russians from advancing from the now captured village of Ocheretyne another 7 miles west to the town of Prohres. Huge mistake by the Ukrainians which no doubt will see some heads roll back in Kyiv.

Iraq: Popular Mobilization Forces base attacked
(Iskandariya) A military base in Iraq housing a pro-Iranian militia has been damaged in an explosion, killing one and wounding eight. At this moment in time nobody knows who targeted the base, but naturally all eyes will be looking at Israel.
Footage has been released showing the Scale of the Damage to the Kalsu Base of the Popular Mobilization Force (PMF) in the Babylon Governorate of Eastern Iraq, after last night’s Explosions caused by what is claimed to have been several Missile Strikes; it is Difficult to tell if… pic.twitter.com/R2mAITrKuZ

NIGER: Tells US to remove its anti-terrorist forces
(Niamey) Niger like many other recent central African countries which have seen a overnight change in government by the
bullet and the bomb rather than the ballot box has had no problem turning its
back on the West (other than for handouts in the form of aid) and gotten into
bed with…Moscow and surprise, surprise, the new government in power has
informed the US to remove its forces from the country which comes months after
the new government (for life) informed France to remove its forces in the country.
What is most interesting here is the
western powers who operated across the Sahel using their advanced weaponry whilst
able to keep something of a lid on Islamist terrorism which plagues the region,
never got the upperhand. Yet in replacing the West for Russia which is
currently occupied inside the Ukraine, they have sided with a country which will
be unable to divert resources (military) to combat the
rise in terrorism across the Sahel for a good few years and even if it prevails
in the Ukraine will still be hard pushed to support its new African besties
other than allowing the new military leaders for life to pad out their private
bank accounts, I cant see any other reason why these countries have sided with
Moscow.

Iran: So called Israeli counter strike apparently targeted a S300 Missile site in Isfahan
(Isfahan) So the world woke up on the morning of Friday the 19th April 2024 to reports of Israel bombing Iran. Whilst the western media was acting like Chicken Licken proclaiming the sky was falling in, Iran very calmly was stating the very opposite, that there had been a small drone attack (As in short rage quadcopters) and its air defence system had taken care of it and that life across Iran was getting along as normal. Anyway, satellite photos have revealed that a S300 missile system based at the north west corner of Isfahan International Airport was taken out:

Israel: Satellite Photos show little damage at IDF airbase struck by Iran
(Nevatim Air base) So as the entire world and their dog knows, Iran in retaliation for the targeting and killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi in Damascus on the 1st of April 2024 by the IDF on the evening of 13th of April launched 300 UAVs, 30 cruise missiles and 170 Ballistic missiles at Israel these were supported by rocket fire from Lebanon by Hezballah in which to occupy and downgrade the ability of Israel's defensive systems so as to allow the Iranian weaponry to get through and do their stuff. Well that didn’t go exactly as planned for Tehran as Israel (with a little help from friends) managed to knock out the majority of that Iranian incoming ordnance with only 7 Ballistic missiles getting through and impacting at the major IDF Nevatim airbase in the south of the country.
Interestingly the very airbase where the aircraft which carried out the attack on the Iranian consulate which started this whole affair took off from. Israel claimed that little damage had been caused and the base remained operational , however that claim could not be verified until Satellite photos became available and available they have and as the IDF stated, very little damage was caused with just one missile impact site on a taxiway, which has been repaired.
The actual impact point and damage can be found just below the lower runway around 2/3rd from the left and in-between the small apron and said runway on the taxis way in-between as can be identified by the small patch of new tarmac
For the amount of ordinance launched by Iran and her proxies , Israel was very lucky, don't get me wrong, its defensive systems did exactly as they were meant to do, but 170 Ballistic missiles in anybody's book is a huge amount to defend from and whos to say next time Tehran learning from this, wont launch 340 missiles.
