Nothing gives more confidence in how works the nuclear chain of command that someone too drunk even for Russian standards

Rockets used to deliver satellites have significant differences to M/SRBM missiles, so it will not be a simple task.

To China, North Korea is a complex issue. In one side, they have problems with them because their regime has a too extremist version of socialism and Beijing is improving relations with Seoul. Also, the day Pyongyang collapses, China is going to have its own refugee crisis in their borders.

The China knockoff tugboat would be also “inspired” in the design of a USSR-made tugboat full of rust they bought in Ukraine.

It was because the arms restriction we had during Pinochet’s dictatorship. Since 1990, the Ley Reservada del Cobre (A restricted law that transfers funds from the state-own cooper company CODELCO to the armed forces) and the lifting of that restrictions, allowed each branch start to buy a lot of stuff.

Ask Coyhaique, with more extreme oscillation than Punta Arenas, even if they are +800km north. A -2°C in winter there is a warm day.

Except if you live in the extreme south (Region de Aysen y Region de Magallanes) when you can experience a lot of extremes, with Coyhaique at the top of that category, from +33.2°C in January to -26.4°C in June, even worse at both ends than Punta Arenas, a city 850km south.

Wow, that’s a pretty ugly rendering/design, even for military standards.

Dr. No’s tank >>> Kantanka’s tank.

That rockets are enough powerful to catch and destroy ANY other airplane around them*.

I think that vehicle isn’t worth even the round fired from a real tank. In a real battle, the most easy way to destroy would be driving a tank to crash and crush it.

The problem is that US policy is also towards “allies” that had created a lot of the problems in the zone. The US in the region has supported almost all the bad guys in the region, since the Shah in Iran in the 70s, Hussein in the 80s, a few years ago Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and now Saudia Arabia and Al-Sisi in Egypt.

Here are all the claims of the Republic of China aka Taiwan:

Well, the dispute between Peru and Chile about maritime delimitation ended well in the courts, except that now we have a new diplomatic fight for a 3.7Ha triangle that both countries claim sovereignty:

Because of long historical reasons (including Cyprus) they have a bad relationship with Turkey. Is weird because Greece is within the EU and with Turkey in NATO, so they should be some sort of friends, but not.

No so much. His main problem is Ukraine, not Syria/ISIS, and the situation there is bad for him because he is stuck in a conflict without movements, the Russian economy is still going down because of the sanctions, Ukraine is starting to improve their institutions and military, Russia has a lot of image damage in its…

As everything with Putin, a part Russian, a part Soviet.

They have an early warning system, not space-based but with the Voronezh radar that covers most parts of Russia. Also any system is use to retaliate and with the ABM system for Moscow.

The military budget in Russia goes in this order:
