THE WAR IN UKRAINE

- A BRIEF ANALYSIS -

This paper is politically neutral.

          The subject of this work is the armed conflict unfolding in Ukraine, focusing primarily on analyzing the strategies of the two parties involved and the execution of the land campaign. It also analyzes certain tactical aspects, detailing how the employment of specific categories of military equipment has fundamentally altered the battlefield and how the armed forces have adapted to this phenomenon. A turning point in the use of certain weapons was observed in this war, resulting in the emergence of many novel developments. Of particular importance is the fact that the fortification chains in the Donbas represent a central point of operations, shaping the strategic-level plans of the belligerents. Breeching them stands as one of the most spectacular actions in human military history.

In short, the analysis attempts to answer the following questions:

-       Are there differences in the military potential of the two belligerents?

-       What plans were devised?

-       Why did the F-16 arrive so late?

-       How were the partisan operation plans rendered useless?

-       What are the Donbas fortifications?

-       How were the land operations conducted?

-       Why is the advance rate of the Russian forces extremely slow?

-       How were the strongest fortifications in the world breached?

-       Was the HIMARS system a 'game-changer'?

-       How has infantry tactics changed in the era of drones?

-       What other states participated?

  THE MIDDLE EAST MILITARY CRISIS: A GREAT PARADOX Saudi Arabia is (still) one of the world's major economic powers. Thanks to oil, and not only. This is well known, and there is no need for further details. Like any highly developed state, its armed forces are structured to match. With 247,000 active-duty personnel and an additional 150,000 paramilitary forces (there are no reservists), 917 aircraft (including 283 fighter jets), 1,085 tanks, over 1,200 heavy artillery pieces, and 32 warships, backed by an annual budget of over 63 billion USD, the country can be considered a regional military power. In fact, in the ranking published by Global Firepower, it ranks 25th out of 145 nations. [1] The numbers speak for themselves. No explanations are needed. Let's look at a neighbor. The United Arab Emirates. 65,000 active-duty personnel, 130,000 reservists, and 12,000 in paramilitary formations, 581 aircraft (including 99 fighter jets), 354 tanks, 300 heavy artillery pieces, and 84 ...

  US INTERVENTION IN IRAN – A STRATEGIC TRAP?            I will begin with a straightforward question: what is the current state of affairs in Venezuela? Following the US-Israeli intervention in Iran, this Latin American nation has slipped off the geopolitical radar. Nonetheless, it remains a subject of interest .           Subsequent to the apprehension of the Venezuelan president on the night of January 2-3, 2026, by US special forces during a domestic military incursion, the United States has sustained its naval presence in the region to exert military pressure on the Venezuelan administration [1] . Despite Washington's recognition of the interim government, the continued deployment of significant military assets suggests that the primary objectives remain unfulfilled. Effectively, the state continues to be led by members of the previous regime. It is possible that they are now undergoing a strategic shif...

  IRAN: SUMMARY        We are not talking about history. We are talking about current events. We are witnessing the most profound changes since the early 1990s.           Let's make a brief effort of memory. Let's remember what was happening in Iran between January and February 2026. This year. Not much time has passed. At that time, the ayatollahs' regime was on its last legs. Everything was clear. The massive devaluation of the national currency, bankruptcies, crisis, protest demonstrations across the country, often violent, with significant destruction. The security forces were no longer capable of containing them. On the contrary, police officers were being killed in the streets and police stations were set on fire. Nothing could stop the process of change anymore. It was a natural consequence of years of economic sanctions and external pressures of all kinds. And the country's leaders were accused of mismanaging ...
