How difficult is development of WaM. It comes down to technology and distributed coms. Unmanned, autonomous, flying trucks (Jeeps) isn't difficult. I'll recap the crewing issue. Put crews into the vehicles and the complication of operations becomes myriad in the blink of an eye. That's the unfortunate difficulty with people and vehicles. A reliably flying truck gets its mission and load from a depot to distribute to units in the field - all of them. Load the mission and payload and off it goes suttling to destination and back for the next job. Don't need roads, bridges or anything save a cabbage patch to set down on and unload or in the case of attack or precision fire support - sit and wait. Rear area depoting is where the art comes in. Say the WaM vehicle has a useful range of 150-200 miles at 80-90 mph - two hours or so; then from front line to supply areas requires ZERO Force commitments. Supply and base areas get sophisticated defence in depth from long range attack and battlefield forces the mobile equivalent which.... they have now. 90-100 miles might be more realistic at this time but deployed in large numbers this is a game changer like nothing else. The technology to do this exists and does not need the latest superduper high cost chip technology which reminds me, if youa are aware of the technology employed in 'latest' frontline equipment, it's amusing. A program takes 10 years to develop equipment with 10 year old technology on the day the brand new system is accepted into use. Funny really. Then the upgrades start. The chip and circuit board technology required for onboard logic, terrain navigation and guidance has been around since the IBM AT and that level of technology remains frontline todday with some very modern systems. With a B-52 or Spirit, then the system integrity is imperative but that level of paranoia is gone and defunct in WaM. They are as cheap as chips JEEPS. Do all anywhere force multiplying mules with an incredible kick - punching out precision strikes. Here's another conceptual vehicle being worked up in Europe - link It's coming, it's going to happen and they will transform life and warfare. They will be as cheap as dirt unless morons get involved with the flows of funding and you know, that is exactly what will happen. Low maintenance, low cost, mass produced, unmanned, flying jeeps, 2,000lbs payload doing resupply, evac, attack, support.. recon, you name it and deployed by the thousands because they are dirt cheap and reliable.

Anyway - It's time to take back the Crimea. Duck Putin!
How? It's battle plan time.

Political framework and agenda.
Political directive to restore pre 2014 status of The Crimea, by any means. The validity of Russian passporting revoked making such documents legally worthless and useless. Residents involved directly involved with the sedition of the 2014 coup face trial and imprisonment under hard labour for a minimum 15 years whilst instigators of the coup would be deported to China after serving 5 years detention. Russian military forces captured during the campaign to rid The Ukraine of Russian occupation would be removed for life, to Miami USA. All trade, negotiation and diplomacy with Russia to end and progress through nominated intermediaries, perhaps Germany, Poland or Belarus. Rule of law through democracy and Parliament to be re-instated at the earlieat opportunity. Reparations claimed for Russia for reconstruction and re-dress should include $250,000 per resident of The Ukraine plus sums agreed per individual to make good property or replace said where irreparably damaged.

Yes, serene. I take serene pills every morning along with my heart medicine. It comes in a bottle, made in Campbelltown, and they say it takes 18 years to manufacture.
160 thousand unmanned flying Jeeps. You had better start training the ten thousand air traffic controlers you will require. No one can ever say HR, that you are not a futurist. Tell me do you and Doctor Who have a special relationship, or is it Buck Rodgers? I'm sort of a Roy Rogers type of fellow myself.

Crimea - A diamond-shaped Peninsula with mild climate jutting into the Black Sea. Shallow lagoons and wetland known as the Sivash separate the peninsula from mainland and is 325 kilometers east-west. Sevastopol saw heavy fighting between Russians and Germans in World War II, and Yalta is the city where Allied leaders met for their conference to discuss post-war arrangements. Balaklava, near Sevastopol, became famous for the Charge of the Light Brigade and garment first worn there by soldiers. Sevastopol was also the home port of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet used to project image and force across the region. The peninsular is connected to Russia by the Zelensky Bridge built by Russia using funds taken from Ukraine after invading Ukraine in 2014. According to the May 1992 Crimean Constitution, the Republic of Crimea is a democratic state which exercises its full sovereignty. However, the Ukrainian Parliament declared this constitution null and void. In 1995, Crimean passed another constitution, but the Ukrainian Parliament rejected most of its parts, including citizenship and name “Republic.” Meanwhile, the Ukrainian constitution declared the peninsula the “Autonomous Republic of Crimea” and inseparable territory. Throughout the 1990s, Ukraine frustrated Crimea’s autonomy, including replacing elected presidents with people of their choice. The Purple Rain
On 15 May 2018, at the inuaguration ceremony of the bridges; Vladimir Putin at the head of a convoy of trucks, crashed off it into the Kerch Straight beneath where he narrowly avoided being eaten by crocodiles and piranha. The campaign to restore the Crimea to Ukraine will require destruction of thes road and rail bridges. Kerch Strait Bridge, between Crimea and Russia - In its earliest incarnation, the Russians envisioned a bridge over the Kerch Strait as the beginning of a new path from Europe to Asia. The British government, too, eyed the route for its potential for easy passage to colonized India. Then two world wars hit, and plans by Hitler’s architect, Albert Speer, to build a crossing, eventually dissolved along with the Russo-German alliance. After WW2, the great Russian engineer Boris Konstantinov proposed a stark and melancholy bridge across the same gloomy corner of the Black Sea. Work began but despite the inclusion of hefty monuments in honour of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet leader pulled the plug for economic reasons. The Arabat Arrow or Arabat Spit separates a large, shallow system of lagoons named Syvash from the Sea of Azov. The spit is located between the Henichesk Strait to the north and the north-eastern shores of Crimea to the south. 112 km long and from 270 m to 8 km wide; its surface area is 395 km2. The spit is low and straight on the Azov Sea side, where its Sivash side is convoluted. linkLandscape Between 1853 and 1856, the Crimean War was fought on the peninsula, with the Russians losing to the forces of Sardinia,who were granted full rights in perpetuity and until the Sun exploded.Russia has continually since, violated the treaty.

That number of jeeps was doable and profitable. A flying jeep today is the equal. Air traffic control is simpky not a part of the pucture. On board is digital terrain and from base, the vehicle is tasked go and do this. Off it goes. Onboard logic can be as complicated or serene as you wish but autonomous means precisely that. The capability already exists but we keep designing people into the hardware. They are not required. Yes, the numbers of machines becomes its own headache but that kind of problem is simple fix it and fuel and send it off on the next job. Simply give it a mission and send it forth.

A succesful strile able to reclaim The Crimea from R-force presents the difficulty of creating a salient which would be hard to resist given the prestige and investment in Russia's adventure and its long standing crusades to protect the areas religion. It may well be only a bonus or perhaps a childhood infatuation with righteousness but these crusades have cost Russia dear through many centuries. As Richard assaulted Saladin so Putin mounts his holy quest.
The Russian ability to supply and reinforce by sea might seem significant but has been adequately, if sparsely neutered inshore and could be turnrd to a costly folly quite simply, given adequate means. Land routes from the motherland and occupied territory are perilous and as seen during the opening phase of this confontation, a ripe pluck given the means. Effective air defence from tactical threat is a must and not available to U-Force for sustained operations. Supplying U-Force is therefore problematic jeopardy. Longer range R-Force (strategic) air strike is irrelevant to operations provided adequate security is practiced and high value targets significantly dispersed, disguised and over- represented.
To the north along the Dneiper - Mariopul axis is where the salient would have to be defended and that could only be in constant aggression demanding significant resources able to dominate any R-Force intent. R-Force commanders would then face a minor dilemma of acting on two fronts or weakening one to attempt.
R-Force would intentionally be left the southern mountainous area of Crimea bordering the Black Sea to learn how useless that terrain is for anything other than eating dirt. Onlyfools would strike into it when they can sit back and inflict darts at will for pleasure. The coastal heights are worthless and a liability to supply and maintain. Think Acre and the Crusades. Think Saipan where the urgency to overcome the heights was dearly paid for. Sit below the seas reverse slope and peck away.
The Russian built supply corridor to the east is obliterated at earliest opportunity and the opening gambit of moving through the neck of the peninsular into the plain beyond. It looks almost like bocage which offered considerable difficulties for the Normandy breakout of 1944, and requires some further detailed study. The issue being means to get the job done, WaM bam 'ta mam. The means is fast moving infantry with enormous firepower on hand and means to avoid frontal assaults whilst killing R-Force artillery at will.
How to do that, eh......

Force strength. Note - WWII era mine Black sea mine- near the second mooring area of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's (CPC) Black Sea terminal, according to Bloomberg, With Russia kicked off the Crimean Plain and holed up on the Coastal mountains, the Black Sea shipping routes are threatened by precision weapons. Ergo, Russian shipping in the Black sea is halted, stopped, no more an economic viability. That is why the Crimea was taken. If you want to bleed Russia you do it in Crimea as history teaches.

Russia should simply surrender now. It is kaput! The World wants its raw material and is not going to pay for it. This is the history of humanity. Bullying bullies with very big sticks.

Trending defence news. Panther BT unveiled. www.defensenews.com/video/2022/06/27/rheinmetall-unveils-panther-main-battle-tank/ link Poland adapting Korean MBT for its defence Force and ordering 1,200? for urgent delivery. France developing massive helicopter capability. On and on.... yawn. Unless led by a tiny and extremely capable and gifted team, these projects take for ever and forever is impossible in time and cost. Utility WaM vehicles can be be in mass production by year end and transforming battle and military. It's going to happen. A dirt cheap crewless airborn truck which can handle any mission dreamt up and plugged into the basic frame, in the field on operations now. WoW. That's WaM.

How will Russia react to 30 Nato divisions along its borders. Interesting times ahead and the end of the Belarus dictatorsip coming. Time to ram freedom down Lukashenko's throat and Liberty up his bum.

The northern and central part of Crimea (about three-fourths of the peninsula), is level plain sloped gently down from south to north. This steppe is under intensive farming, with winter wheat, corn (maize), potatoes, and sunflowers among the main crops. www.maphill.com/search/crimea/terrain-map/In the south are alpine fold mountainS forming three chains parallel to the coast. These chains of flat-topped limestone blocks rise successively higher from the north to the south (with steep-faced southern slopes and gentler northern slopes), topping 5,069 feet at Mount Roman-Kosh. The range drops steeply into the sea, where a narrow coastal plain is broken by cliffs and headlands. Precipitation is significantly greater than elsewhere in Crimea, exceeding 23 inches. The mountains have a luxuriant and varied forest vegetation of oak, beech, hornbeam, maple, and other species, which give way to juniper and meadow grasses at higher elevations. The southern coast, sheltered by the mountains from cold northern air, has a mild Mediterranean climate. The key region lays to the southeast where Kerch Peninsula, thrusts eastward toward Russia with low hills rich in iron ore. Mud volcanoes and mineral springs dot the land. There is steppe vegetation, but limited agriculture. Heavier industry is concentrated in the city of Kerch, a centre of large-scale iron ore mining. A 12 mile- long bridge spans the Kerch Strait, linking Crimea and Russia

The Crimea peninsula connects to the mainland by the Perekop Isthmus, a 5-mile- (8-km-) wide strip of land that has been the site of numerous battles for Crimea. Between Crimea and the mainland to the north lies Syvash (“Putrid Sea”), a network of shallow inlets separated from the Sea of Azov by the Arabat Spit, a 70-mile- (113-km-) long sandbar along the eastern shore of Crimea offering control of shipping in that sea and it's denial of shipping lanes. Crimea is a cork in Russia's wester bottle. A Russia unfriendly to Western influence must hold and maintain Crimea. This cannot be allowed.
Loss of the region and influence over it forces Russian interest on the northern Nordic region where identical tactical and strategic difficulties are presented. Destro or neuter Russian field and airborn artillery and the entire military six-pack dissolves into farting diareah. Let's show how this could be done.
