🔹#Ukraine deploying weapon first used by the #Romans to grind russian vehicles to a halt🔹
ℹ A simple but effective device, inspired by techniques once used by the #RomanEmpire, is being used to disrupt #russia's vehicles by the Armed Forces of #Ukraine #AFU
Known as a #Caltrop, the device is a four-pronged, heavy gauge steel puncturing spike which can be used to disable vehicles
One of Britain's top #military chiefs says the decision to publish #Russia's President Vladimir #Putin's invasion plan of #Ukraine on #SocialMedia a week before he did it, was to "pre-bunk" his lies
General Sir #JimHockenhull, the Commander of #StrategicCommand, described the decision to put #intelligence out on #SocialMedia as "brave" in attempting to get the "truth out first" in a way that had not been seen before
ℹ Ukrainian marines achieved a great victory against all the odds when they crossed the #Dnipro River in 2023, despite the mission being 'doomed to fail'
During the summer of 2023, Ukrainian troops from the 35th Marine Brigade crossed the river and established a foothold on the left bank
So, what is currently happening on the Dnipro as the Ukrainians retain their foothold and #Russia continues to try to dislodge them?

🔹Calls for UK to deploy HMS Queen Elizabeth to Red Sea🔹
ℹ A leading #Navy expert has told #ForcesNews the #UK's #Defence Secretary should deploy HMS Queen Elizabeth to the #RedSea
As a result of the continued #Israel-#Hamas war, trade routes in the #RedSea continue to be threatened
Now, #TomSharpe, a former Royal #Navy commander, told #ForcesNews that #Defence Secretary #GrantShapps should "get the carrier out the door"
ℹ "One of the reasons the #Ukrainians have held so well against #Russia so far is largely due to their organised Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)", an expert has told #ForcesNews
Professor #MichaelClarke, a former head of The Royal United Services Institute #RUSI, said an MDO was "the hardest thing to achieve in warfare"
MDO is the combination of aircraft, ground forces, vehicles, satellites and ships, their systems and all sources of data
