Putin is still dreaming so early June 14 as a condition to talk about peace, (NO PEACE TALK) for  negotiations, the mad man said. Ukrainian troops must leave Ukraine's Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. He also added that Ukraine must recognize Russia's illegal annexation of the regions and abandon any ambition to join NATO. (Sama Sama, same as like Israel talking to the terror Hamas).

Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts are partially controlled by Russian troops. Russia claims to have annexed the whole territory of those regions despite not controlling two regional capitals - Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

‘Shoot and Scoot’ – War in Ukraine Overturns Another Conventional Tenet of War. Threat from drones, loitering munitions & precision-guided weapons applies as much to artillery systems as it does with tanks & armored vehicles.

For decades conventional wisdom among military strategists has been artillery was the king of the battlefield. Only threatened by counter battery capability of enemy’s guns. If guns outnumbered or outranged those of opposition, you sited them correctly, and had a good strategy – then you would prevail.

Artillery of 20th century came in two main forms towed mostly tracked & armored self-propelled howitzers. The appearance of truck-mounted guns, France’s Caesar were seen as an interesting but inferior hybrid of the two, generally allowed guns to be redeployed faster than towed cousins, experts thought that they lacked the cross-country capability offered by tracks.

War in Ukraine has seen loitering munitions, precision-guided weapons, and most particularly drones, being the catalyst for a change in the balance of the artillery equation. Artillery is likely
probably will be indispensable weapon on battle field even more than ever, speed deployment, rapid firing moving on will be key to survivability – what the military calls: “shoot and scoot.”

An article in US military issues magazine Defense One says that Ukrainian experience, where wheeled guns have proved so effective, has impacted on US army plans for the future modernization of its artillery systems.

Cites Gen. James Rainey, chief of the US Army Futures Command telling a Senate hearing in May“… there are some very good, wheeled howitzers that having great effect in a place like Europe,” in reference to what was happening in Ukraine. His views contrast to the US' previous preference for tracked self-propelled artillery. In 2021 during a competition to select mobile artillery support for its Stryker Brigades, it rejected the foreign wheeled offerings in favor of the M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer.

If happening in Ukraine. His views contrast to the US' previous preference for tracked self-propelled artillery. In 2021 during a competition to select mobile artillery support for its Stryker Brigades, it rejected the foreign wheeled offerings in favor of the M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer.

Rainey said that on the future battlefield, artillery systems must be constantly on the move to avoid being detected, identified and destroyed. He said that, in addition, the US was also examining ways of improving and extending the range of mortar systems to supplement that need.

Ukraine’s experience shown utility of wheeled howitzers, including Sweden’s FH77BW L52 Archer, France’s Caesar, Ukraine’s own 2S22 Bohdana, compete favorably with tracked guns in terms of firepower, rate of fire, precision & range.

Ukraine recently announced it has expanded its production of Bohdanas to 10 systems a month.
While wheeled guns may not be as mobile off-road as tracked artillery there are sufficient trails and roads in Ukraine (and Europe) that combined with all-wheel drive makes less of a disadvantage than once thought. 

Wheeled guns are generally much cheaper, easier to maintain, and modern armor technologies offer protection comparable with most tracked vehicles. In 2023 the unit cost of the French Caesar MkII was €3.2 million ($3.5 million), compared with Germany’s tracked Panzerhaubitze 2000s was €18.4 million ($20 million) apiece, to Defense News. It studies shown cost of operating & maintaining wheeled systems result in cost savings of roughly 30%.

Furthermore, bombs like Mk.82 series contain 89 kg of explosive material, while those from Mk.83 series contain 202 kg, offering optimal capabilities for neutralizing enemy forces fortified positions.

A series of strikes by high-precision bombs on enemy positions at Vovchansk plant show it’s noteworthy that Ukrainian Air Force currently employs American JDAM/ER & SDB high-precision bombs, & also French AASM (Hammer) family.

Furthermore, Ukraine is in process of testing its own version of JDAM-ER long-range guided bomb.
Previously, Militarnyi reported according to Chief of Aviation Air Forces Command, Ukraine is preparing to conduct tests on its domestically developed analog to the JDAM-ER.

Currently, efforts are underway in Ukraine to develop high-precision kits for Soviet-era bombs. These kits not only enhance accuracy but also extend the range due to the inclusion of dual fins.

Russia Deploys Only Subs in Black Sea Under New Strategy: Ukraine Navy Says. Ukraine’s navy spokesperson says Russian surface warships “cannot afford to be in the waters” of the Black Sea and under a new commander Moscow only deploys submarines starting a few months ago.

Russia now deploys only submarines instead of surface warships in Black Sea as part of its new strategy under new commander. He said at present, Russia only has one missile carrier in the Black Sea capable of launching a total salvo of four Kalibr missiles. Instead, Moscow has a concentrated group of surface ships comprising three Buyan-M class cruise missile carriers and three large amphibious craft in the Sea of Azov.

[Tee tiong huat]

June 11, Kyiv Post reportedly Russia re-deployed its surface vessels from Black Sea to the land-locked Sea of Azov for “exercises,” where Pletenchuk said that Russia is using only two of its four operational submarines in the Black Sea for periodic patrols.

Kremlin reluctance to deploy surface warships in Black Sea could likely be attributed to Ukraine’s recent history of destroying nearly a 1/3 of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet (BSF) since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion, an achievement some analysis said have “crippled” the BSF fleets.

March, Kyiv reported Kremlin appointed Vice Admiral Sergei Pinchuk as new commander of Black Sea Fleet after a wave of successful Ukrainian attacks, citing British intelligence update

Putin last week said Moscow would only join peace talks if Ukraine gave up four of its regions, effectively demanding that it surrender.

Why is Russia’s Putin visiting Vietnam after North Korea?

Vietnam is a rising nation that the West wants closer ties with. The visit is a signal from Russia: Putin isn’t isolated. Putin flies to Vietnam on Wednesday evening after a day trip to North Korea for a visit to an old ally that has positioned itself as an increasingly influential geopolitical player, wooed by most major nations. He visit, among other other things, is Russia’s way of showcasing Putin is treated as a pariah by West, but still holds political clout in East, some said Communist-led Vietnam will welcome Putin for a 2-day visit, the Kremlin said. Trip comes soon as US afew days got imposed more sanctions on Moscow as Western countries reiterated their unwavering support for Ukraine – fighting into 3rd year against Russia – by agreeing to a $50bn loan for Kyiv by Group of 7 at the summit. The visit also comes days after last weekend’s Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland.

So, why Vietnam?.

While in N.Korea, where Kim Jong Un is itself a global outcast — heavily sanctioned by UN over its nuclear & missile programmes.

Vietnam is a nation that other major countries want close ties with. A rising economy and a leading exporter of garments, Vietnam today counts the US and other Western countries as important partners. India is a growing defence partner. Vietnam is also a pillar of Southeast Asian efforts to balance ties with China — keeping strong economic ties with Beijing while pushing back against perceived military threats from the Asian giant.

That backdrop makes Vietnam a choice destination for the Russian leader. “Putin will hope his Vietnam visit signals that Russia is far from isolated in Asia amid its recent Ukraine war inroads,” said Prashanth Parameswaran, a fellow at the Washington, DC-based Wilson Center. “Even though the visit has been pending for a while now and Moscow’s list of regional friends is quite short in practice,” added Parameswaran, who is also the founder of the weekly ASEAN Wonk newsletter.

Russia May Be Behind Attack on Diehl Arms Plant in Berlin Last Month – Bild “Concrete evidence” of Russia's involvement in the fire at the plant was passed on to Berlin by a foreign intelligence service.

The plant in southwestern Berlin caught fire on May 3, and entire western part of the capital was then enveloped in toxic smoke. Rescue services reported that four floors of the building had completely burned down, and part of the building had collapsed.

Berlin is currently studying the intelligence. But as Bild writes, it is still unclear why the metallurgical rather than the military Diehl plant was chosen.
