Antonov 225 going to be rebuild .... good news
Our 'comrade' EOQ making very strange claims and that they could be 'quoted' etc. Who do/ did they work for we may wonder?
The United Nations General Assembly: Discussing a draft resolution on Monday to establish an international mechanism to compensate for the losses caused by Russia in Ukraine
Russia will not agree
Not (more capable in) ballistic missiles would think, possibly not even drones either, but Iran has no problems making its drones [or missiles perhaps?]. It has been heavily sanctioned for years and has all its workarounds and black market supply chains in place. I would say Russia may have difficulties resupplying themselves quickly now (i.e. making more of their own missiles or drones in quantity) with the Western sanctions, which I think are harsher than the ones on Iran anyway.
I don't think there's any broad EU economic sanctions placed on Iran (still hoping till very, very recently things could be papered over between Iran and US re the faltering nuclear agreement). Afair (?) most that has been done since they started sending these drones and their military "advisors" to help drop bombs on European cities is to sanction a few more regime officials + specific military linked entities in Iran. It is a bit pathetic really, needs be faster movement there.
Ugh, Orcs up to their old tricks again. What's new ehh?
Stari Arbat, Moscow.....
It's definitely looking that way for drone at least,they can't build aircraft but they have got nack for relatively small armed drones , Russia already previously gave the Iranians anti tank weapons used against the Israelis a few years ago, done some damage to Israeli merkava tanks ,4 completely destroyed others damaged but repaired .
But if they start producing javelin and AT4s there will be a serious security threat to any military in the Middle east from Israel to Syria and Iraq and further afield
Ukrainian figures say Russia lost 4640 last week. Been like this for the past few weeks. About 600 or 700 per day.
Minus 7️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ invaders in a day! 77,170 people – estimated losses of Russian invaders
As I was saying...
UN should be disbanded.it’s belongs in the past.
A few years ago, Iran managed to hijack an American drone in Afghanistan, and diverted it to land (or crash) in Iran. I wonder if these Shaheed's are a reverse engineered by-product of the US one.?
And 80 to 100 tanks per week...
The UN should be given its own Tax base, the ability to recruit its own Military, the security council removed and replaced by a elected body based on worldwide elections.
That is what should happen but it never will because Russia, US, China, France, and Britain like to be able to control the only body which could ever possibily hope represent the opinions of the planets population.
I believe they have a similar one either In development but so do the Chinese and Russians ,
All cloned from the rq170 sentinel
There’s a documentary on BBC1 now on Mariupol. Worth watching to see the savagery of the russki bastards and the suffering they imposed on innocent people.
Thats probably Putin's plan all right, but I doubt there will be the same outcome as what happened in Chechnya. True, the Chechens won the 1st war, and then when Putin started the 2nd war, he literally levelled Grozny " Back to the stone age". Ukraine will be bigger bite to chew though. It has broad global support (which Chechnya did not have) and a well-equipped military, which is getting stronger and stronger. The main thing is that Putin is not given the chance to re-group and re-arm.
I very much doubt it. It was an RQ-170 which is a stealth drone with high end systems which would be beyond most countries abilities to replicate. Why the US didn't wipe the hanger they put it in is beyond me. Nothing the Iranians have sold look anything like it; that I have seen. They would be stumped just trying to make the engine.
Boom-
Explosions were reported in Kryvyi Rih
todays activity is picking up
Just finished watching it very powerful and emotional documentary.
I am sooo angry at the Russian scum that destroyed a beautiful city for nothing more than to terrorise and murder innocent civilians.
An estimated 25k people killed a true war crime that forever will be a stain on the reputation of Russia.
Well it would be technically the governments of half the worlds population Average chinese would not even care about russia or Indian.
Could have some kind of overvolt system to fry all the electronics Not much you can learn then. Simple countermeasures like that. F1 for example used to have components that static zapped themselves when opened by the wrong people. IIRC they had to ban that.
The cold weather begins next week. The likes of Donetsk and Kramatorsk going down to around -6 at night and barely above freezing during the day. Kherson a little bit warmer but still below zero over night.
One to keep an eye on in case there is confirmation.
All they did was hack it's wifi connection and diverted it ,the Iranians have clones it along with the Chinese
I remember during the bombing of Serbia during the Kosova crisis when a US Stealth bomber was shot down, and of course access to the downed plane was granted to several "interested party's". On the news later on, a journalist asked the US spokesperson how damaging to US Security would it be if the technical details of the bomber became common knowledge. The US spokesperson replied, "You do know that technology is more than 10 years old by now, don't you? That's a first-generation fighter that was downed. Thats old technology by now. So maybe the drone the Iranians got their hands on was not exactly new technology either. But more than likely not,,seeing as what they are supplying to the Russians.
Going to be a load of popsicle conscripts soon then.
That has been one of the toughest nuts to crack for Ukraine. Here's hoping.
While hoping for gains I'm very nervous about what Russia has planned if Ukraine do get to the streets of Kherson.
Maybe the Iranians would not have the knowledge or ability to reverse engineer it, but I'm pretty sure that they would have friends with the necessary expertise to do the job.
Powerful explosions in Dnipro city
