War

Notice the other bombs the drone is carrying; this is one of the bigger commercial drones and I was reading the Ukrainians received a lot of them not too long ago. Add this kind of destruction to that which the Russians are already enduring and you can see why their tanks and other equipment are being wasted away with each passing day. Crews might not want to spent time in parked tanks with hatches open and these drones often operate at night. Out on the open battlefield there are no places to hide from drones except in the woods, in towns they can park in garages or under some roof, provided they haven't leveled the place first.

Where are the robot soldiers?

It's been reported that some switchblade drones use facial recognition software for targeting already, that would qualify as autonomous. You'll see robot soldiers in the air before you see them on the ground, landmines, roaming among the trees, quietly hunting...

The Verkhovna Rada will try to take almost a thousand assets from the Russian Federation
The Verkhovna Rada (parliament of Ukraine) is going to nationalize about 900 Russian assets under a special procedure. This was announced by the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Economic Development of the Verkhovna Rada Roksolana Pidlasa.

“Energomashspetsstal in Kramatorsk, which is 92% owned by an offshore Cypriot company controlled by Rosatom. Also on this list is the well-known BROCARD chain of stores, which is 100% controlled by an offshore company, which, in turn, is controlled by the Ministry of Industry of the Russian Federation, ”the telegram channel of the Verkhovna Rada reports, citing Pidlas’ statement.

Nationalization will take place according to a special procedure. The Verkhovna Rada will consider this issue at the next meeting. The list includes more than 900 objects that belong to Russia.

Earlier in Ukraine , it was allowed to confiscate property from those who support the special operation of the Russian Federation. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also suggested that other countries conclude an agreement in order to seize Russian property abroad and transfer income to Kiev.

Die Zeit: After the US elections, Ukraine risks being left without funds
After the US elections, Ukraine runs the risk of being left without funds to support it. This is reported by the German newspaper Die Zeit.

“However, after the mid-term elections in early November, the situation <…> may change. And even if the Republicans agree in principle with the Democrats in supporting Ukraine, some of them who follow the slogan “America first” may enter parliament this winter. They no longer want funds to flow to Kyiv, like Trump supporter JD Vance, for example.

Elections to the US House of Representatives will be held on November 8, 2022, in the middle of the term of office of US President Joe Biden. They include elections for representatives from all 435 congressional districts in each of the 50 US states.
Earlier it was reported that the US presidential administration could not reach a compromise with the country's senators on the effectiveness and scope of anti-Russian sanctions. URA.RU also reported that the United States would give money to Ukraine to fight China, thereby reducing support for Kyiv. At the same time, the World Bank has approved $530 million in additional assistance to Ukraine, 360 TV channel reports.

The United States and Western countries began to provide assistance to Ukraine after the start of the Russian special operation . In just two years, the United States sent billions of dollars to help Kyiv. But not everyone in the US approves of such assistance. Some believe that Biden is only helping Ukraine for political gain ahead of the election.

Residents of the regions of Donbass, annexed to Russia following the results of referendums, may refuse to obtain Russian citizenship. This is reported in the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

“Citizens of the DPR, Ukraine and stateless persons permanently residing on that day on the territory of the DPR are recognized as citizens of the Russian Federation, with the exception of persons who, within one month after this day, declare their desire to keep their possessions and (or) their minors children of a different citizenship or remain stateless, ”the court ruling, published on the official website of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, says.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed agreements on the accession of regions to the Russian Federation on September 30. Putin also submitted to the State Duma draft laws on the admission of new territories to Russia, RT reports .

Turkey will allow Ukrainian warships into the Black Sea, as long as they get the contract to build them! This thing can sink Russian submarines and I figure that's what it's for, fitted with American harpoon antiship missiles, it can complete with much bigger Russian surface ships too.

What will they eat when the hoard of Russian conscripts arrives? They won't have any food with them and will be most likely half starved, they will take the food from the locals in the occupied areas, what's left of it. Vote to join Russia and be promptly starved to death.

In the month leading up to the American election Ukraine shows its gratitude to Joe and makes Putin and the Maga Republicans look like shit. Everybody likes a winner, except Magats and they prefer whinners. A major victory in Ukraine can only help Biden and the democrats while it divides the republicans.

There're things happening in Ukraine now and for the past few weeks as offensive operations have started in earnest. The pace has recently picked up and historic changes might be coming with large scale surrenders of cut off and demoralized Russian troops. Lot's more territory should be reclaimed in the next few weeks as the Ukrainians exploit their advantage, and the Russians struggle to survive and adapt.

Modern conventional weapons systems are so capable of denying enemy capability that they are allowing nukes to be sidelined as tactical choices. We do not need them as we did even twenty years ago.

Those fast light wheeled combat vehicles we've been giving allow Ukrainian special forces to race to the enemy rear after the tanks have broken the Russian defensive lines. They sow panic in the Russian rear and with Javelins can hold vital bridges and road junctions until the main force arrives or set ambushes and IEDs. They can advance fast at night using night vision equipment and their drone scouts can see in the dark too. They know where the Russians are, so there are few surprises other than landmines on the roads, but the Russians use the roads too and would be trying to retreat on them.

That's why I believe America can develop the ability to strike Russia's nuclear weapons using stealth cruise missiles with conventional warheads and precision targeting. I believe Russia has around 700 warheads on rockets on land and at sea, the rest are stored at known sites, a doable number. America's nuclear submarines can serve up retribution for any cities that get hit by those they miss and things like patriots can't deal with some too. This is not an attractive scenario, but it gives the POTUS another option than ending human civilization.

I don’t think a cruise missile will do against silo-stored ballistic missiles. To me, that seems to be a job for Massive Ordnance Penetrator or perhaps a smaller follow-on that can be packed several to a B-2.

Heck, air supremacy seems not out of the question, in which case B-52s and Nato bombers can push the broom.

If we are not targeting the strategic stuff, then our options widen much. Cruise missiles and other standoff bombs will be pretty effective.

Depending on how much Russian equipment they capture in the next month vs how much they lose taking it, could see several battalions of territorials equipped with Russian tanks and BTRs. They won't just be infantry battalions with small arms and Javelins, they can take and hold territory. They appear to have different grades of territorials, from as good as army troops, to old farts with guns and a bit of training manning roadblocks in the rear and doing other vital things. This multiplies the regular army's combat power and allows greater operational flexibility, they have far more territorials and reservists than they do regular army troops or did. Old guys can also deal with prisoners in the rear and usually end up guarding them in most wars like this.

If such a thing were to be done, it would be all hands-on deck, stealth cruise missiles would be the first wave and defense radars would be among their targets. Other things would be used, but they can be detected, you don't need to destroy the silo, just prevent it from opening or have a smart loitering munition nearby when it does. Also, it's a cruise missile and can carry a large, shaped charge than can penetrate feet of concrete or steel.
