Israel does train in much larger countries so the size of the country is not relevant measure. yes its army will be among the strongest as it is fighting Arabic soft power. It is Arabic soft power that divided India and fold up Soviet Union. but difference is the size of Arabic Soft Power surrounding Israel. Europe has never faced this situation in all of its history and it may face it with New Europe.

I hope Trump won't confuse the Russian military with the ragtags of Taliban fighters.
If the Trump regime escalates the trade war with China, they will just isolate themselves.
"Backyard":
These areas will be China's backyard later, forward operating regions to reroute trade, control travel lanes and contain the sick man of the Americas.
Like I've been saying, it's absolutely essential for China to turn outwards and focus ever more attention, money and political motivation into anti-US containment politics. Such politics are good for tech scene/living standards in China, good for the security of recipient nations, and good for global security. We will prevent another Afghanistan, Iraq or Palestine using collective security and economic defense.
I find Xi's rhetoric often highly suspect, but his actions say otherwise.
He was probably arguing with the event management about why he's being made to stand in the corner. Either that or being resuscitated by an epinephrine shot.

Israel has done thousands of strikes against Russia built air defense over long period of time. I am sure they are continuously improving based on practical results and Russia is also learning from it to improve its air defense . There is no such recent example anywhere else.
Even after this high end Israeli strikes and low end (small drones guided by P-8) in Syria Russia still need to upgrade its air defense after three years in Ukraine. this give you answer that you cannot rely on specifications on mechanical engineering product and long term reliability in field conditions . and this experience created lighter fixed version of Pantsir to put on top of the buildings. the more buildings the harder air defense. I am not going to helicopter upgrades, high g S350 missiles and newer missiles for Su-57. before that only Russia demonstrated 500km range intercept in 2018 and after that air defense tests moved to Kazakhstan test range for even longer range. This is the scale of effort done and still no guarantee that they can deal 100% with Ukraine.

It’s a super-hype missile, close enough.
