Lockheed Martin is an American aerospace manufacturer - when there's a conflict their share price rises, and often they are relied upon by the US government to be the producer of choice for the next rounds of military spending.
Re TSMC chips, they're Taiwanese produced and a very important component of the vast majority of modern day electronics.

156 F-35's aint no small order. Got to sell the technician training and the armaments as well. Tip of the iceberg this. I wonder if it'll mean there'll be interceptors that head off russki aggro approaching Scotland before the RAF have to.

'Not against Ukraine': Russian deserters tell their story

Hundreds of Russian soldiers have deserted, but many do not have passports and are trying to get to safety in the West for fear of extradition. DW spoke to three of them.

The Russian Alabuga complex is said to be “more potent than a nuclear bomb.” The Russian Federation is developing a missile equipped with a high-frequency generator of immense power, intended to neutralise the enemy without firing a single shot.

In the West, Alabuga is referred to as a “secret weapon” described as “more potent than a nuclear bomb,” capable of “disabling entire armies.” This electromagnetic missile has the capability to disable all enemy electronics within a 3.5km radius.

“The military intends to install these weapons on the latest Russian drones to deter enemy aircraft. Additionally, such a system can be used to destroy missile warheads and communication devices on airplanes. Furthermore, it can block the automatic loading of tanks, detonate artillery shells inside the gun turret, and eliminate enemy soldiers hiding underground at depths of up to 100 meters using radiation,”

Must be what all those stolen washing machines are for.

I remember reading that a 50k sorti in the Russian spy plane cost us 500k to respond. If they wanted to get value for money they'd pass close enough to scramble all the Scandinavian and Finnish air response.

Probably about Russia's most effective military manoeuvre if those figures are even half right.

Just like how we never unleashed Magaye Gueye. So secret and effective a weapon, we dared not use him.

The White House/UK assumption is that staged 'media event' attacks on military and civilian targets in Crimea somehow puts pressure on Russia to agree to a frozen conflict.

They imagine that Russia has a spectator political culture like the US and overestimate the impact of breathless announcements of attacks has on Russian opinion.

As of now, I see no such concern amongst the Russian population.

This thread has been totally ruined and derailed. It used to be interesting to read as certain posters were linking lots of daily updates etc. Its now just full of pointless arguing and garbage.. Shame.

You think Russia can be taken out without us all being incinerated...

Are you being serious...Russia rolls over when faced with annihilation.

Wow.

Would certainly be easier just to take Putin out. Make it look like his own men did it. His men and country don't want this war..

I think those orders will have favourable payment terms. As you mention, it serves us well to put extra 'barriers' in place between Russia and the UK.
