I just saw Clare Daly's face again. Now my day is ruined.
That's not worth the wasting of a single life.
A country with 2 million reservists that it can trot out as needed does not look to prisons for bodies when they realise they need to ramp up the numbers.
This war has also been massively dictated by information, misinformation and propaganda. And for every story that gets spun about how these raids are only going to lose them favour with western allies, there's as many and more talking about how Russians are likely to start realising that they are not invincible within their own borders, and more worryingly for them, the western support has not dried up, and if Biden's recent comments are anything to go by, the support will continue and Russians should be worried
It looks like a scale modeller's diorama.
It is totally irellavent where they came from . The point being made by Tow is that the photo is a set up or equivalent. He made a very good shot at it with photos of backup points to back up his argument.
You must know what exactly happened to reach such a conclusion. You are nearly as fast as Putin who can , at times , reach conclusions within minutes of a disturbance or whatever. The conclusion includes a NATO/US involvement.
Never mind that Russia is literally the last White European "Christian" empire left. The rest all faded away after WW2. Hitler wanted some of the European empire pie for himself and went on to bring the whole lot down, except ironically for Russia, his most hated enemy.
This was clearly a genius deployment .I can't see any downsides but obviously for the Ukrainians to be doing this off their own bat ,that may well risk support from allies.**
It strikes me as perfectly reasonable that Russian citizens might want to take up arms against their thuggish overlords.
They have suffered over the years from these "leaders" with no remedy but now someone (perhaps someone unsavoury?) is raising a flag and we may see this take off now with tentacles reaching as far as Moscow.
The Russian people deserve better than this even if many are clearly complicit in this military aggression and invasion of a neighbouring state.
** although ,if there were not the Russian resource willing to do this on their own account it would probably be a temptation too great for Ukraine itself to capture Russian territory if only to strengthen their hand in the negotiations to come when the conflict is "resolved"
The conclusion for that debunking is very dubious.
And to add to your last line , " No one has done more for the Militarization of Ukraine than Vladimir Putin, or for the destruction of the Russian Federation.
For every single life lost, be it Ukrainian or Russian, Military or Civilian, every single one of them put the blame squarely where it lies, on the evil head of Vladimir Putin. And no one else because he gave the orders.
It's too simple to say all blame lies with Putin. He has his supporters, many of whom are rich and powerful men and "just following orders" has never been an acceptable defence for committing war crimes.
Roman Abromovic point and case... where's he sunning himself
Yet if we cut off the head we wouldn’t keep blooding the body.
I'm reading that the Russian intelligence-gathering ship, Ivan Khurs has reportedly been attacked by Marine Drones around 40 nm from the Bosphorus Straits, or just over 500nm from Odessa.
It's a RUS report, so who knows.
A Norwegian P-8 is currently policing the area over the undersea cables after the signing of an agreement with the UK recently.
Meanwhile, our PC-9's are merrily running practice circuits at Casement....
Go to her Twitter page and let her know. Politely though...
I see two American B1 bombers were intercepted by Russian Su34s in international waters over the Baltic sea yesterday,
Unmanned UA suicide boat
Careful not to piss the Turks off
Reports say Su-27s.
footnote:
Su-34 was developed against ground and naval targets anyway. Designed to foil the F-14 and F-15 Tomcat and Eagle. The 27 is for air superiority. Still an old as Reagan plane. Then again so is the B1.
Stark contrast between the hits and misses, what a boom.
I find it odd that the naval drones are boats rather than submersibles. Would have thought it'd be possible to design them to submerge once it's in line of sight of the target and to lock on from there).
They can move faster above water
Makes sense but surely better to be stealthy than fast?
Sounds expensive for something designed to be expendable. You can simply use an air breathing powertrain and use conventional sensors, cameras with machine-learning etc. to navigate and fire on target vs. needing sonar or a way to detect your targets position when all you can see in front of you is 6 ft or less of seawater, which could also highlight the boats position to the target's own sonar and detection systems. You need ballasts and pumping systems, additional trim and roll controls as you can now pitch and roll in addition to simple rudder/yaw, etcetera.
And still no guarantee that you wont undershoot the target or be taken out by the defensive fire screen or a depth charge, all designed to counter exactly what that would be by definition: a torpedo.
And reportedly these need to be steered/coordinated with help from aerial drones providing situational awareness and human-in-the-loop decision making. And little guarantee that Starlink will connect at depth.
It would be at least an order or two of magnitude more expensive, and probably infeasible.
That drone boat reminded me of an MTB. Surprised it attacked in daylight.
Thanks for the explanations :)
Thank you Wikipedia .
It's Gerard Ford plane not Regan it first flew in 74,it spent several years in development before that
Easier to operate wirelessly on the surface and easier to acquire targets
