umm Hussein stood trial by his piers, 1 sunni, 1 shia, and 1 kurd, and convicted.....the hanging was on TV. Bin Laden, was pretty much done for by the international community via the intellence services, and then 2 taps in head in Pakistan (of which pakistan said he wasn't there at all), Gadaffi, was round up by his own people and then shot by one on camera......

I never mention Gadhafi-I should of said a fair public trial. Death penalty robs history. Dead men tell no tales.

that has a lot of potential for fuckery....get pissed at your neighbor, find of couple of other people that don't care for them either, you all hold a picture of a russian rocket in front of your phones, and they triangulate on your neighbor....

It duplicates the function of the WW2 observer corps the brits used during the battle of Britain. When planes crossed the coast with the early radar, they became invisible to it, so observers on the ground would track it with optical instruments and phone them into filter rooms. Same idea pointing the phone just gives its bearing from the observer and GPS provides a known point, they provide a bearing, estimated altitude and type. Altitude is probably not required here though. It uses the phone's compass to get the bearing, the user just points, selects the type of missile or aircraft. I don't think you can point the thing at someone's house and zap it! It requires multiple reports and filters out the ones too off base and just gives guys with manpads a heads up probably. They might get an alert on their phone and a sector or bearing to aim at then wait for the drone, aircraft or missile.

I think that was one mistake in an otherwise illustrious soldier’s career. I like to think that he got demoted from the parade platoon to the kitchen.

Both jobs require skill and a certain toughness of mind. So I am sticking with my daydream.

yeah i wouldn't care, either

looks like more of this is gonna happen......conscripts are surrendering...

The Russians reported that the airfield near Kaluga was allegedly attacked by a Ukrainian drone
The Shaykovka airfield, where Russian Tu-22 strategic bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons are based, was attacked by an alleged Ukrainian drone. This was reported by the governor of the Kaluga region, Vladyslav Shapsha, who is referred to by The Insider.

The 52nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment (several dozen Tu-22M3s) is based at the Shaykovka Air Base, located 200 km from the eastern border with Ukraine.

Some Ukrainian mass media and Telegram channels report that a drone destroyed two Tu-22MZ strategic missile carriers at Shaykovka. This information is currently unconfirmed.

It was from Tu-22M3 aircraft that Russian troops launched hypersonic missiles ‘Kinzhal’ and dropped FAB-3000 aerial bombs on ‘Azovstal’.

In June 2022, the command of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that it was from the Shaykovka that the Tu-22M was launched, which hit the shopping center in Kremenchuk with Kh-22 missiles.

After the drone explosion at the Russian Shaikovka air base, part of the warplanes were moved away from there
Satellite images of the Shaikovka air base, where an unknown drone flew and exploded yesterday, were released.

The published photos show traces of fire caused by the fall of the UAV, but there are no signs of damage to Ту-22М aircraft to be seen.

The War Zone published the satellite image of the airfield.

At the same time, they note the aircraft movement at this air base. In particular, eight Tu-22М3 were withdrawn to another place on the night between October 7 and 8, suggesting that this was done to prevent repeated attacks.

On October 7, an unknown drone flew into the territory of the Russian Shaikovka airbase in the Kaluga Region. The governor of the region claimed that the UAV could have flown from the Ukrainian border which is approximately 225 km away.

The Russians are now using Ukrainian civilians as human shields as they retreat..
The Russian-installed leader of Ukraine's southern Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, has called on civilians to evacuate.

If surrounded and cut off, these guys would be ripe for psychological warfare and surrender offers, with senior officers dead they might not be hard to convince. If these guys are on the front lines, then breakthroughs will be easy, and it will be just a question of rounding the rest up and killing the pockets of war criminals and morons. These troops can't attack, they can only man defensive positions with small arms, positions stripped of artillery support by HIMARS and M777s. So, when they break through not much risk of flanking attacks, they have no equipment or ability to maneuver, most barely know how to shoot much less how to field strip a weapon. They are short on everything from body armor to ammunition, even food and warm clothing.

There aren't that many "regular" soldiers left anymore! Most of their elite units are trapped in Kherson and getting desperate with the Ukrainians closing in and everything within in M777 range as the drones circle overhead like fucking buzzards!

We will see Russian forces 'kettled and crushed' in Kherson by the end of this year.

36,359 views Oct 13, 2022 "Russia is losing on the battlefield, no rhetoric can change that." The Kersch Bridge attack was a legitimate deep-battle attack, whereas Russia's missiles on Kyiv are 'missile terrorism,' says retired senior British Army advisor, Chip Chapman.

Hear expert's theory about what caused key bridge explosion in Russian war

378,462 views Oct 13, 2022 CNN's Oren Liebermann reports on the explosion that damaged the Kerch bridge that links Russia's mainland with annexed Crimea.

Canada alone supplied Ukraine with a half a million winter uniforms plus other weapons ammo and gear and there are lots more allies supplying them besides Uncle Sam, who can focus on firepower, which he happens to have a lot of! Everybody is supplying medical supplies, helmets, body armor, night vision gear, generators and drones. There is also equipment and more arms pouring in including a lot of missile defense as the Ukrainian winter preparations have been going on for months, there and among the allies. The Russian on the other hand have shit and know it, they don't even have a cause to fight for are untrained, poorly equipped lead and fed, if at all.

Russian freshly mobilized troops are surrendering in ukraine

the Chechens & Wagner groups will send them out in a line to clear mine fields

There have been no trains over the Kerch bridge for four days and 900 trucks are backed up and not allowed to cross it either, it's been weakened significantly, Russian cars can leave though, and they are lined up to exit Crimea. That means no supplies or fuel for the southern front or Crimea. It actually did two things, cut off supplies, as intended and providing an exit for Russians and Russian sympathizers to leave, winning the peace for Ukraine and changing the political facts on the ground. Unhoused refugees from the cities of Ukraine will fill their vacant homes and apartments after the Russians are gone. It seems it worked out even better than destroying it completely, if it can't be used for truck or rail transport.
