Now we need "Drones and EW", "Artillery and Tanks", and "Aircraft and Helicopters".

Actually I already started some writing. The next title may be Defending Zelensky’s Empire. about Ukrainian AD that will include all systems they have as well as the combat experience. All based on facts so no media sensationalistic approach but rather critical and honest approach to show how things really are there.

Mike, who should we order these books from?

I understand that sometimes an author's royalties vary depending on the seller. Do you get the same revenue if I buy these books directly from Frontline Books as do if I order it from Amazon?

Thank you for your interest! I believe that for now, they are available through the Frontline Books and the Amazon UK. For the rest of the world (all their local distributors such as Indigo & Chapters in Canada) will be in a month or so. Royalties are distributed through the publisher - Pen and Sword & Frontline books so regarding them, it doesn't matter which distributor is used. The difference for the buyer may be in the shipping costs because sometimes it costs more to mail the item than the cost of the item itself especially for the overseas shipment.

Your new books about Russian AD systems seem very interesting. Does the publisher offers its e-versions, ie e-books, and if so, at what price (for both books)?

Thank you.

It will be e-book by the end of December, I think, or maybe even earlier. How much is going to cost, I don't know because the publisher is putting the price. In any case, I believe it will be cheaper than the hardcover book.

Thank You, Mike. Things are moving very fast with Hezbollah having the Oniks missiles, particularly. The USN can strike Lebanon, but will lose face worse if they do than if they don't. It also changes the equation for the USN striking Iran from the current location.

The 40N6 for S400 systems extends their range to 380 km. If Russia places these in Syria, what are the implications for the Israeli air force, and those fighter-based nuclear weapons of theirs?

But didn't Russia have S400 in Syria already? Or is it just to protect their air base? Still lots of Israeli sorties in the area. How close can they let a missile or fighter get before they know its target? This has puzzled me.

S-400 is only for the Russian base protection. Israelis are not flying close. They have a hot line with the Khmeimim base and the Russian OC just in case, and on that line from the Israeli side are IDF soldiers that speaks Russian
