War

They use glonass satellites for GPS, even cheap western commercial and hobby drones use multiple GPS systems like GPS the EUs and glonass too, for increased accuracy and reliability. It's yet another reason they will lose the war, it's turning out like the Wizard of Oz when the dog toto pulled the curtain back on the wizard and found him at the controls, but naked and jerking off.

Vlad had a Potemkin army, a false front of PR hiding a rotten and incompetent military that was exposed for what it really was when put to the test. The legend of the mighty red army is gone and soon most of Vlad's army will be gone too and along with it the fear of it by other countries, more of them will tell Vlad to go fuck himself, just as the Ukrainians did, they set the future pattern IMHO.

In politics and economics, a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) whose sole purpose is to provide an external façade to a country that is faring poorly, making people believe that the country is faring better. The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built by Grigory Potemkin, former lover of Empress Catherine II, solely to impress the Empress during her journey to Crimea in 1787.[1] While modern historians agree that accounts of this portable village are exaggerated, the original story was that Potemkin erected phony portable settlements along the banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Russian Empress; the structures would be disassembled after she passed, and re-assembled farther along her route to be viewed again as if another example. The term is a translation of the Russian: потёмкинские деревни (IPA: /pɐˈtʲɵmkʲɪnskʲɪɪ dʲɪˈrʲɛvnʲɪ/; romanization: potyómkinskiye derévni).[citation needed]

yes it does, Ukraine has one of the largest natural gas reserves sitting right under them, and for the most part it's un-tapped, that reserve could power the eu for years to come
Yep, tap right into the existing pipelines for Russian gas, all those oil companies who were in Russia trying to make deals could get enough gas from Ukraine, as quick as the short pipeline can be built. Even if it only lasted a decade it would be enough for Europe to fully transition and it would keep the German petrochemical industry going for a long time. Germany really should play nice to Ukraine if they are concerned about oil and gas. Also the revenues will help Ukraine to recover very quickly, if they were selling as much gas and petroleum to Europe as Russia did. Then there is the black sea shortcut from the middle east for tankers and containerships from Asia.

Just heard.

Russia is using Soviet-era Missiles..they're weakening.
Almost everything they have is soviet era, some has been upgraded and most has not been even maintained. They have few precision weapons and must use basically WW2 bombs and missiles that can hit an area not a precise point like a rail bridge. Soon the Ukrainians will be able to destroy Russian rail bridges hundreds of miles inside Russia with pin point accuracy. Critical rail bridges over rivers at strategic locations will slow them down for a long time, the way they operate and their dependence on rail transport. Just changing the railway gauge to European from Russian will stop them at the borders for many former soviet republics and would be a worth while national security measure, maybe the EU and Uncle Sam can help. If Ukraine did it, the Russians would be stopped at the borders unless they had trucks. Tanks traveling long distances get worn out pretty fast and need to have their tracks replaced or rebuilt. Getting them off the trains and onto the roads will cripple them.

I don't think Turkey will allow any more Russian ships into the black sea, military ones for sure, until it gets guarantees, real ones from Russia about peace in the place. Turkey has been a victim of this war, it gets most of it's grain from Ukraine and it's oil and gas from Russia, the economy is on the rocks, inflation at 70% and Erdogan wants his Black sea canal so bad he can taste it. A liberated Ukraine and freedom of the black sea is just what he needs to make his canal work and the region prosper. That would mean a liberated Crimea too and the destruction of the bridge at Kerch, which limits large ships from the sea of Asov and was partly designed to cut Ukraine off from the sea. A prosperous liberal democratic Ukraine with strong ties to the EU would dramatically increase Black sea traffic to Europe and new facilities would be built, another reason to change the rail gauge in Ukraine, trade with Europe.

Yep, Ukraine is gonna go the whole nine yards in Crimea, win in the east and break Vlad's army there, then due south is the next direction and the bridge at Kerch is toast. Just as soon as the Russians are dealt with in the east, new shit arrives from Uncle Sam and a few more regiments of troops are trained. The Ukrainians just about said it is their intention now, they have met the enemy, taken his measure, know how to defeat him and will soon have the means to do so. Vlad should have been nicer to Uncle Sam instead of kicking him in the nuts. He would have been better of nuking America while on the phone with Trump telling about his new Trump tower in Moscow with easy financing...

I know the newest Russian cammo for its tanks. They will print out on a king sized bed sheet the image of the top of the tank with its turret blown off.

This year's new Christmas toy. Who will be the first to replace the Joker with a 3D printed Russian tank?



Because surely you can't tell by the size of it it's still in use.

I noticed 'O' on the tanks now..who/what is that?
