He always struck me as an intelligent and well thought out writer. I certainly found his comments and posts interesting and enlightening. The world will certainly be a poorer place without him.
My condolences to all who knew him.
Brigadier Farooq Ali has left us.
"After the great and good fight, at the age of 92, Brig F.B.Ali has made his final graceful bow, and walked out into the sunset and beyond. And in so doing, he has left the world a poorer place. If one were to pick out the finest sons of the land, such a list would be incomplete without t...
Col. Lang, VK is VKontakte, it is essentially Russian facebook.

Larry Johnson's post - "Unraveling the Deep State Coup" on my FB page. pl
Good sir, if you decide to retire from this it will truly be a shame. I've learned much from you over the years.
Chet Arthur is president? My God!
Someone supposedly said these words when he learned that President Garfield had died. I feel much the same way after learning that Joe Biden has been elected by the political analysts at the networks. I will enjoy watching Juan Williams try to defend this guy on the Five. I have decided t...
I remember with the "Hammer's Slammers" science fiction series that the tanks that the Slammers use would have an automated anti-aircraft automatic weapon mounted on top of them. I wonder if that might be the way of the future, some sort of gun based SHORAD on valuable armored vehicles? If done right it could double as an APS that could target things like incoming ICM shells before they release their bomblets.
The New Drone Wars - TTG
Back in early 1981, I did a few “odd jobs” between graduating from the Infantry Officer Advanced Course and starting the SF Officers Course. One of these jobs was as an ARTEP evaluator for a mech infantry company on Fort Benning. While I had plenty of book learning about tank-mech infantry t...
He will be missed, whenever he wrote here it was interesting and eloquent. Rest in peace good sir.
Richard Sale - In Memoriam
Richard Sale Richard died last night of pancreatic cancer. He had suffered with that for three years. He was a dear personal friend and until his last illness wrote often for SST. pl
Col. Lang, I work in a pharmacy in NYC, such things as hand sanitizers, wet wipes and isopropyl alcohol have been impossible to procure here, in some cases for the past few weeks. It has gotten particularly bad now that people have become aware of the disease being in the vicinity. I would advise of being sure that you have enough of such things for months. One of my coworkers also works for the city's OEM and figures this coronavirus pandemic will last for "6-7 months".
Best of luck to both you and your wife, hopefully the efforts to contain this will be successful in the US.

The Mahdi Army is reportedly being reactivated, presumably they have some more combat experience now thanks to the ISIS war. We have some 5,000 troops in the country and God knows how many citizens there along with whatever we have in Syria. The Iranians are pissed and want their revenge. The Iraqis are pissed too as is Hezbollah I'd imagine. I fear that this is going to be bad.
What the hell was Trump thinking...
Qasem Suleimani, Assassinated In US Airstrike By Walrus.
Multiple news sources are reporting the assassination, near Baghdad Airport, of Suliemani, the leader of Irans Quds force. Some commentators are saying that this is "bigger than killing Bin Laden". According to the Pentagon, the assassination was at the direct command of President Trump. I ...
Most look to be AT-4 and AT-5, one towards the end might be an AT-14. None of them are shoulder fired.

Houthi UAVs set big Saudi refinery alight. al-jazeere, etc.
"Saudi Arabia is shutting down half of its oil production after drones attacked the world’s largest oil processing facility in the kingdom, The Wall Street Journal reported. The closure will impact almost five million barrels of crude production a day, about 5% of the world’s daily oil produ...
