Interesting. An Iranian destroyer capsized/sank in port. I can think of several countries that would find this an appropriate response for enabling Houthis to disrupt global shipping.

IMO this is a "We should be so lucky" situation. The "destroyer" in question was ancient and actually dangerous to all that sailed in her. She had recently been damaged yet again. I think the country that did it was Iran with their typical good seamanship and Naval practices :-).

Another article that is interesting, but you always have to wonder how accurate the conclusions are.  Russia running out of tanks?  Losses are exceeding their ability to build new and refurbish old ones?

Since they seem to store all their old tanks out doors, and it seems reasonable to wonder how much maintenance they ever get, the articles conclusions may have some validity. 

This article concludes that most of Russian armor losses are now the result of FPV drones.

So how much do these losses limit Russia's offensive capabilities?

In the meantime, where are the F16's?  Are they going to have any airfields open that can handle them and keep them flying?  Can Ukraine properly defend their airfields?  Makes no sense to send those shinny new things to Ukraine have them land and then get blown up on the ground.
