War

[DIY-HP-LED]

That is so awesome …. I imagine a future war with drones like this outfitted with weaponry

Back in 2021 in the east before the main war, they were innovating back then, the recon drone high up maps everything with precision and the FPV drone does a low pass to get it from an ground angle and see under shit. He's got a gopro on it and they look at the HQ images frame by frame. These are easily jammed but real hard to shoot down, they can carry a quarter pound of plastic on a one way trip and are as cheap as a couple of hundred bucks, add a better radio, it can take many different ones and it could be useful as a killer drone, it fits in a back pack with a radio and bought by the hundreds or container load from China. They can join them in their foxholes and machine gun nests, if they have no electronic defense. A few guys with a few dozen of these with starlight vision cameras under $60 bucks can attack day or night. Just get them out of their bunkers and into their fighting positions, then go to work.

An example of a camera that works day or night and is good enough for a killer drone, this is the camera ya fly with the Gopro can't see shit at night and ya don't need one for a killer, it carries plastic explosive instead and it becomes frags. 0.00001 Lux! is the minimum light the #3 needs.

Exiled Russian oligarch says 'big cities are going to end up in coffins' if Putin sends conscripts from urban areas to Ukraine

During an interview with the Atlantic Council, Khodorkovsky said Russian President Vladimir Putin believes he is "at war with the US and NATO."

According to this video the Ukrainians are fitting are fitting switchblade 600s to Turkish Bayraktar drones, something tells me this was developed by the Turks before the war. So they must have 600s too and I think Uncle Sam has opened the barn door for allies and America to deliver them to Ukraine in lieu of close air support planes. I dunno if they will use them on tanks, they have other bombs for parked tanks at night, but those long range rockets and MLRSs might be another matter along with artillery guns.

Lot's of other info in this video on the situation in Ukraine, weapons etc. Sounds like local or European news being read.
They must have damn near every portable type of anti tank system in the world there by now, it's almost like an arms maker competition and they will be keeping a score of kills like a ball game.

I think Vlad is fucked, if he has a half conscript army of 100 or 200 thousand with junk equipment and they operate the same way as before, they will be quickly slaughtered and it will take weeks to bury them all. The Ukrainians will be very well armed, know what Vlad is going to do and where he will go and when. They have excellent leadership, intelligence, advice, advanced weapons, lot's of motivated troops, hidden guerillas armed to the teeth hidden away as the pass through and a very, very pissed off bunch of guys looking for blood and retribution, the only justice in war.

I expect a massacre of Russians and a completely broken army with it's best equipment destroyed and they won't be able to replace most of it. If he loses in the east, he loses it all including Crimea, which he might lose before he loses the east. The south is a softer target than the east and Vlad won't be ready in the east for a month and they want him to attack there first, before counter attacking. If they can clear around Kharkiv before Vlad arrives they own the roads and bridges into ukraine on the north east.

An interesting read. Not all that much on Ukraine but a lot of interesting bits.

China has to do this.

he's either going to go wmd or hes not, and i don't actually give a fuck anymore. i'd like him to do something provocative enough to get NATO to put boots on the ground. then they could just destroy the remnants of the russian army, and they would no longer be a threat to all their supposedly weaker neighbors (i say supposedly because getting their asses kicked by Ukraine)
he will pay for everything he's ordered done, one way or another. China doesn't want to support them in this shit, any aid russia is receiving from them is a token. russia is doomed financially, even if they win in Ukraine. nearly all of the world won't do business with them or accept rubles as payment for anything. they're banned from currency trading, so they can't convert their worthless rubles into anything else. their gold supply is drying up, their markets are limited, and they have driven their biggest gas customers, the EU, to accelerate their green energy plans so they can turn off the russian gas spigot.
they produce very little of their own weaponry or ammunition, and anyone still willing to sell them weapons or ammo won't be able to ship them to russia, or collect payment from russia....all the things they are strategic suppliers of can be replaced by other suppliers. it won't be nearly as convenient as getting it from one source, but they aren't the world only source of anything...they have nothing unique that cannot be supplied by someone else.
in short, russia is fucked for at least a decade after this war, win or lose

I was going to say their strippers are pretty unique but they can always be replaced by Quebec girls and I know a bit of French. I agree that they are now in the group of outcasts of the world. I hope it takes them 100, not 10 years to recover from what they have done.

Easy to not give a fuck when those wmds aren't going to land on you. I live like 300km from the russian border and a kilometer from a navy base. I give a fuck.

That's why they are being so careful, because once it starts, nobody will be safe, hence no, no fly zone. There are rules for fighting proxy and semi proxy wars that have been established by decades of conflict during the cold war. Biden is an old cold warrior and knows those rules and limits better than most. If Vlad wants to destroy his army in Ukraine, NATO is all for it, every tank they destroy with a NATO weapon is one less they may have to deal with in the future. Vlad's economy is screwed and he won't be making too many more modern weapons or much else, what's destroyed in Ukraine can't be replaced.

Ukraine can attack Russia on it's own territory conventionally, we can't and they can't go too deep into Russia either. They can strike their rail lines, fuel depots and ammo dumps close to their border and get away with it. The plan is to beat them to death with conventional weapons inside Ukraine and drive them out of the country completely. Let Vlad deal with the political fall out back home, when they lose wars, they tend not to last long in Russia.

Now that Vlad has shifted to the east and good tank country, it's time for the spring rains in the Ukraine! Good luck shifting your 45 ton+ tanks in wet loam that goes down 20 feet!

Time for the Ukr to offer the Russian troops to let them walk home unmolested if the drop their weapons and leave.

Thank you!! You are really nice, i am a very spiritual person but it’s hard to cover the reality we’re living in…i can’t complain i have everything i need and more but it’s just everything in this world is so bad…and what i hear at the refugee camp everyday gives me nightmares

I guess they were using people who own DJI drones before the war in their military units and reserves, it's a popular video photography hobby and there are many hobbyists. This bunch is a bit different than the RC and racing quad crowd and don't usually, make, modify or repair drones, they buy off the shelf. Looks like they have a number they can call on their phones too, to bring down fire or report intelligence quickly, or they can use encrypted military radios.

Drone wars, much of the video footage of the war we see is from them.

You can see in the video footage why they are so pissed off at the Russians, a six year old kid witnessing the murder of his parents would make any normal person's blood boil.

Their footage will be used in war crime trials and tribunals in the future and thrown in the Russian's face whenever they try to bullshit about it. These guys will haunt them for years with video footage of their crimes.

It will help you a lot to dissipate the accumulating stress.

Here is a free course in multiple languages that some people you meet and help might be able to use. It works for stress and depression and is 8 weeks long, normally in person courses cost hundreds of dollars. Knowing these guys, a Ukrainian language version is probably in the works, see the flags top left.

BTW You could translate it, or a team can, contact them if interested and they might post your language version. You might be able to CC the videos too.

Before the war the drone hobbyists used to make drone videos like these, that you see on cable TV and YouTube, it was a video hobby for many. Now they have been found to be useful for many things in this war, from killing Russians and providing intelligence, to documenting war crimes as they occur and even identifying individuals and units committing the crimes, with high resolution 4K imagery. They can directly refute the Russian claims and provide evidence for tribunals and trials in the future. Their footage will also haunt the guilty for many years to come and put a target on the back of some. It might also change things on the battlefield in the future by bringing accountability, there are witnesses and plenty of cameras around, even in the sky. Soldiers are becoming like some cops and need to watch out for cameras too, when they break the laws of war and murder civilians.

See another reason why Ukrainians are more pissed and motivated than ever, the destruction of their country, it has/ or had some beautiful places. However you don't destroy nations by wrecking their cultural treasures with war, unless they win and that is not going to happen. These kinds of things build nations and national identities, they have the opposite effect of their intended purpose. This war is part of the national mythology now, or will be and beating the Russians will be an immense source of pride every year as the dead are honored and remembered. Vlad did more than anybody to build the Ukrainian nation and sow the seeds of his own destruction starting in 2014.

His house, he can do as he pleases with it, looks fine to me, no money for renos required. It's also up to the families who want to live there.

Tell ya what, look at the houses the council members live in and compare them to this, do they live in shitholes?
