Kicking off our first livestream of 2026, we’re breaking down Iran’s armed forces: how they’re structured, what they can actually do, and what they’re built for. We’ll cover command and control, basing, suppliers, and where real combat power sits across missiles, air defence, drones, naval forces, SOF, and internal security.

The next chapter of the most comprehensive study of the armed forces of Central Asia, this time, focusing on The Armed Forces of Uzbekistan.

Once central to WWII victory and Cold War deterrence, strategic bombers remain vital for the US, Russia, and China. From precision strikes to missile salvos and secondary strike roles, each employs them differently. With all three developing next-gen platforms, their impact on airpower and balance in 2025 is now in sharp focus.

A lot has changed since we last looked at a China–Taiwan conflict. So today, we’re breaking out the maps and spreadsheets to dive into the newest studies, and the fresh set of challenges Beijing would face if it tried to cross the strait.

Examining where Moscow has commanded bases from 1946 to the present day, which ones have closed down, which remain operational, and where Moscow is currently negotiating to establish new bases. We also take a deep dive into the purpose and functionality of each installation and why Russia has adopted its current strategy abroad.

As the war in Ukraine grinds into its third year, Russia’s manpower strategy appears to be becoming increasingly desparate.

Analysing the history, modernisation and strategic capabilities of the Uzbek Armed Forces.
