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, US, THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. HOW WILL IT END?          On an online forum where geopolitics and military analysis are debated ( Moon of Alabama ), I read a comment that seemed very convincing to me. I will rephrase it slightly, but keep the essence: 'Iran does not need a nuclear weapon. It already has one: the Strait of Hormuz.' Perfectly true. Control of the strait has proven to be a powerful weapon in the hands of the Iranian leadership . The negotiations, or rather the attempts at negotiations between the US and Iran, have been ongoing since April 11. With no result. The US is trying to negotiate from a position of strength, but it lacks the necessary tools of force. Iran is also negotiating from a position of strength, but it has the strong argument: the nuclear weapon – the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, no agreement will be reached. The US cannot afford to give in, and Iran can afford to maintain the current status quo. The situation is like a fisherman w...
