Pentagon and Lockheed Martin throw blame around as F-35 fails its 8th audit
GAO and other auditors have repeatedly warned about the F-35's numerous shortcomings, but to no avail. Although the US military doesn't like it (mildly speaking), the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) and the so-called "intelligence community" have a vested interest in the JSF program (for the profits and spying, respectively). As evidenced by India's continued refusal, no sovereign and self-respecting nation would ever acquire the F-35, leaving the US, its vassals and satellite states as primary clients.

First North Korean nuclear-powered submarine ensures strategic deterrence
Unfortunately, since the ruling oligarchy in Washington DC is composed of barbaric goons, the only way to keep America in check is to make sure it can be annihilated in minutes. This is putting the lives of 330 million Americans at direct risk, but the US government doesn't seem to care about that, which perfectly explains why so many of them see it as their greatest enemy.

🧿 Drago Bosnic is back to Talk about the main news that happened in December.
Also in this episode : US Navy become pirates; Japan wants to defend Chinese Taipei, from China; Oreshnilks deployed in Belarus; the US National Security document is worth mentioning; and Putin tries to spell things out simply for the west.

A sparing amount of memes, Kinzhals, lies, propaganda, some subtle humor and several news stories that have become jokes, all included.

In this Talk we learn that the AI killchain is now online, that the US Dept. of War dreams of more AI & Hypersonics, the UK Navy's nuclear deterrent submarines are in a bad state, what happened in 404 with the internal strife in the security services — and oligarchs, how Italian Admirals are delusional and that the F35 failed an audit.

2025 — year of numerous critical strategic successes for Russia
The Russian military will continue grinding down the Neo-Nazi junta forces with methodical and unrelenting advances across the frontlines from Sumy to Kherson. As Moscow warned, the longer Kiev waits, the more it'll lose in the long run.

🧿 2025 news review with Drago Bosnic, the final Talk of the year where we look back at quite a few of the memorable headlines that Drago wrote about.
Also in this episode : PAK FA (SU57) weapons loadout in detail; France emulates Napoleon— only with nukes; more cities become 'not strategically significant'; Zelensky resurrected 600k Russian troops; US ICBMs are in a bad state; did the US bomb Iran's nuke sites; NATO admitted defeat in the sphere of industrial military production; Poland trains its mothers; and what is ROFAR — ambient light based radar developed by Russia.
➡️ https://youtu.be/CpjMvLtu-Bs ⬅️
Nuclear tipped Anti-Air missiles, your memes from chat, a shoutout to Drago's webmaster, hypersonic skiing accidents in the tropics, some bad jokes and FPV drone footage of me flying in Belgrade, and much more, all included.
@WorkingBrother 😎
In this Talk we learn that a lot of HIMARS and Patriots keep getting taken out, the Mirage2000 is much older than you'd think, that the F-35 didn't fly in India, Kursk — why it happened — in retrospect, the Golden Dome is another "Star Wars", industrial scale of war with drones continues to grow; the UK keeps suggesting war crimes, and the F16 actually had a success in Ukraine.

Ukrainian pilots admit Russian air superiority, single out Su-35, Su-57 and MiG-31
NATO training failed to account for the presence of advanced SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems and top-of-the-line fighter jets over the skies of NATO-occupied Ukraine. This is hardly surprising, as the political West exclusively attacks countries that have limited means and resources to fight back. Thus, NATO tactics atrophied significantly when it comes to fighting peer or near-peer adversaries.

Pentagon still can't do anything years after Russia one-upped Starlink for its own use
This enables Moscow to keep the political West and its Neo-Nazi puppets in a constant checkmate position. Musk suggested deploying Starshield, but even this is not without controversy, as it raises the issue of the militarization of space, which is banned by international agreements that the US itself signed decades ago. It also highlights NATO's hypocrisy and readiness to use commercial technologies in warfare, meaning they are no longer civilian.

Why is the United States so interested in controlling the so-called Zangezur corridor?
Washington DC is in a hurry to implement Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, a minuscule 32-km-long corridor. Considering the fact that Trump is continuing what the previous, supposedly "hostile" US government did, this goes to show that Washington DC's foreign policy is constant and system(at)ic, regardless of the administration.

NATO's Greenland theatrics and Arctic expansionism
A perceived "fight" between NATO allies would shift attention and allow further militarization without officially focusing on Russia and China. Thus, there's certainly a possibility that the entire Greenland "fight" between the US and EU/NATO is nothing more than an elaborate (albeit crawling) scheme to improve the political West's strategic position in the ongoing race for the Arctic.

US, UK, France all fail in hypersonics, as Macron urges NATO to catch up to Russia
Nearly a decade ago, I postulated that the Pentagon would be unable to field a working hypersonic weapon before the early 2030s. In the meantime, the US military has even lost the ability to develop and procure basic ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles), as evidenced by the constant delays to the new LGM-35A "Sentinel".

Russian military destroys at least four 'Patriots' and HIMARS in two-three days
After Russia's special military operation (SMO) started, the "Patriot" suddenly turned into a "hypersonic killer", supposedly "shooting down" even Russian "Kinzhals" left and right. Military experts were puzzled by this "sudden success" after decades of embarrassing failures. However, the Russian military continues to obliterate these NATO-sourced weapons, including several HIMARS and "Patriots" in just a few days apart.

Russia now regularly uses ground-based 3M22 'Zircon' hypersonic cruise missiles
Back in 2023, several colleagues and I analyzed the size of the P-800 "Oniks" supersonic cruise missile and determined that the "Zircon" fits into identical launchers, both on naval vessels and land-based platforms. This has now been effectively confirmed by various military sources.

Why nobody takes Europe seriously anymore?
One of the main reasons for Europe's prosperity was precisely the access to highly affordable Russian energy (natural gas, oil, coal, electricity, etc). All this was gone after the EU/NATO forced Russia's hand in former Ukraine, leading to an entirely unnecessary and avoidable conflict that the Kremlin repeatedly tried to end.

Can the Kiev regime really kill 50,000 Russian soldiers per month?
According to the latest updates from a NATO propaganda asset Mediazona, the total number of confirmed Russian losses is just over 163,000, up from 93,000 KIA listed at the end of 2024. This would mean that the Russian military's casualties grew by approximately 6,000 per month during 2025, nearly six times less than what the Neo-Nazi junta is claiming.

Are we witnessing America's slow unraveling?
Although it's still far too early to talk about the collapse of the US, the fact that opposing political forces and interest groups are increasingly (ab)using and relying on their institutional powers to enforce various policies is certainly not reassuring. This will only get more chaotic as the DNC and GOP keep switching places every four years, giving more power to institutions they control while trying to limit those they don't.

The US is now using Ukraine experience to target Chinese civilians from Taiwan
The HIMARS and its munitions (particularly the ATACMS) could be used against Chinese civilians in the Fujian province. This is most definitely not in the interest of Taiwan or its people, as it could trigger a strong response from Beijing. However, the US thinks this is an ideal opportunity to not only undermine China's attempts to peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue, but also to cement hatred and enmity between Beijing and Taipei (which is precisely what happened in NATO-occupied Ukraine).

Is Trump really determined to break up the EU?
Several sources published polls which allegedly show that upwards of a quarter of all "right-wing" voters in France, Germany, Italy and Spain think that Trump is "an enemy of Europe". If true, this is a pretty solid indicator that he's far more unpopular among the more center-oriented electorate (to say nothing of the neoliberal extremists). Given Trump's narcissistic tendencies, this could also suggest that he'd be far more prone to "assisting" the EU's unraveling, particularly if that means the US could establish a much firmer pro-American bloc (especially in Eastern Europe).

Is the EU about to dissolve itself?
The E6 includes Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands. While these are the most powerful EU economies and essentially "core" members, sidelining others in Eastern Europe is not exactly the wisest of decisions, as it would effectively cut off the rest of the bloc from these top continental powers. The Trump administration doesn't really need to do anything except just sit and wait.

Pentagon's second year of failure to restructure troubled 'Sentinel' ICBM program
This comes as the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) is set to expire on February 5. The United States has until Thursday to extend the deal with Russia. However, there are no indicators whatsoever that this would happen. Worse yet, because of the political West's inability to keep its word (not even once), it's highly questionable whether Moscow would even want to negotiate.
