We don't waste precious time on redesigns, because Ukraine needs solutions now.

Thrilled to see this work published!
In this article Rueben Dass and I take a closer look at the #3Dprint files generated within the context of the war in #Ukraine, how they are shared between combatants, and how they permeate outward to the public.

The Ukrainian formal declaration of independence from the Soviet Union was issued on August 24, 1991. Today, Ukraine celebrates the 35th anniversary of that day as it fights for existence in the thirteenth year of Russia’s war and fifth year of that country's full-scale invasion.
In this Discourse, we highlight some recent articles from the Ukraine archive on Ukrainian adaptation, innovation, and perseverance.

I examine the #chemical munitions used, their employment, and the fundamental differences between #Russian & #Ukrainian use.

Sincere thanks to @faineg and @Brian_Castner for their thoughtful feedback and support - the article is much stronger for it!

See my latest post (@Arms_Research) on the UB-105 Chemical Warfare Agent Imitator Munitions in #Ukraine.
The UB-105 was first discussed by Ukraine (@UKRinNLD) at the 106th EC session of the @OPCW and I'm adding technical assessments and context 👇

Interesting development in the in #UkraineRussiaWar - a #Russian-developed warhead that can be mounted on #UAVs to intercept others.
Like with any such innovation, it will be interesting to see if this warhead will actually reach front-line troops in any quantity.

Powered munitions known as one-way-attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become common in the skies of Ukraine and the Middle East.
We added several to the OSMP this week, beginning with the Iranian-developed Shahed-131 & Shahed-136.
A guide 🧵
