These drones are state of the art so there probably isn't that much stock

NATO getting their hands on those never seen before Iskander decoys is already quite a windfall for the intelligence agencies. And that is without taking into account those quite intact Ka-52 wreckages and the captured EW vehicles.
Thats for sure the goal here. But like most of his decisions, it seems like this is gonna wind up backfiring. Everything hes done has just gone towards entrenching the UA response even further, while all of his logistical objectives continue to go unmet.
It wouldn't surprise me if it comes to this. The higher ups in the Belorussian military are either unable or unwilling to get their troops to fight in Ukraine, why else would Russia be importing soldiers from places like Syria?
They either move against Lukanhesko now or are cleaned out after this war. Better to move now while Russia is fucking up royally in Ukraine.
Is There any news out of Odessa? How's the attack going? Or did they actually try it?
Agreed.
Although Russia is less if a concern now, China will het copies of the data theu get if not the drones themselves. The russians already exposed some of their secrets with their jammers. Imn not sure we should be showing too much of our hand If we can help it.

This is good to hear. Wish it was better, but that's a lot of kids.
Last i heard they were bombing it again but no actual landing
Personally, I doubt the US is showing even 30% of it's secret capabilities it has if needed.
Is Lukanshenko popular in Belarus? I heard ancedotally that he wasn't but maybe that's changed over the last few weeks? If both the populace and the army rise up against him he'll have to pull a Yankovich and get outta dodge.
I think if Belarus has an open revolt, the gates open for Georgia and Chechnya as well. And then any other ex-Soviet state in that region will start looking over it's shoulder and thinking about new alliances.
We already know Dagestan had troops in Ukraine and lost a load that they are not happy about.
Whatever's going on, I doubt Ukraine is a part of it. They've got enough on their plate already.
Really weird though. The president and the armed forces are against each other at this point.
You know whats also unforgivable?
TARGETTING AND KILLING FUCKING CHILDREN.
Fuck them. They don't get to pretend like they're part of the civilized world anymore.
It's good that these people are hopefully getting somewhere safer, but this is also depopulation. Russia is cleansing areas of Ukrainian people one way or the other. Vile.
The more civilians die, the more determined Ukrainians become to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Once again, I am watching the national nes marathon 24/7. it is a collab by all the major channels, owned by most of the major oligarchs. The mainstream.
There's not a single conciliatory note in the editorial policy to date. If anything, the official rhetoric is getting harsher.
Meaning, any compromises would have to be presented really carefully by Zelensky and co, because the public opinion could turn in a heartbeat.
I see some very sus looking pro-russian twitter accounts and reports of pro-russian telegram channels claiming this is just artillery drills, which makes me think something is up. Unclear what. if it was a false flag you would think they would be blaming Ukraine in stead of "its just drills, bro."
A city close to the Belorussian border, Sarny was hit by cruise missiles.
Those were most likely the sounds of missile launches
I hear where you're coming from, but them living is better than dying there. And no way in hell is Russia capturing that area for good.
Just saw some reports of that after the post. Thanks. Wonder if the 30 planes and sonic boom reports were not accurate.
He's not talking about Ukranians, he's talking about Russians - anyone protesting against the war/kremlin/him.
Basically speedrunning north korea.
He would have been gone in 2020 if Putin didn't intervene. As it stands, the general population is simply cowed into submission. As for military coup… the issue is that Russian army is stationed throughout Belarus. As of today any attempts at coups would be swiftly smashed. Even with Russian army being a paper bear, belarussian army is severely weaker than the Ukrainian, they already are within city limits and they would have support from authorities.
Where we are now, coup is unlikely. If Putin continues bleeding units in Ukrainian, maybe that will change. General population would likely overwhelmingly support any attempts and ousting the regime
I think he's talking about Russian protestors and Ukrainians and any resistance groups in the region. He keeps trying to frame Ukraine as a Russian populace being undermined by Ukrainians.
This sounds nice but how will it prevent the madman from bombing nuclear reactors?

So, I cannot believe that I need to say this, but if you're going to post something gory then put it behind spoiler tags. We have members with conditions like PTSD as well as various traumas and extremely graphic footage can be triggering to people so please be considerate and put stuff like that behind spoiler tags.
Thank you.
Thank you.
well then. I protest this war and thus I proclaam a proud fly.
Fuck you putin.
The really valuable stuff tends not to be what's shoved in a grunts backpack. Even if Russia is able to secure an example, export constraints and lack of domestic industry means they'll struggle to produce an analogue.
Aye.
A lot of people go through life hoping they'll never have to see a real dead body or someone getting killed. Not an experience I'm eager to have myself.
I can tell you from experience that both suck very much and I have the daily medication to prove it.
I am one of those people, and with this war I saw things by accident I never wanted to see. Be real careful what you click on folks, I really wish I hadn't seen some of the stuff I have.
My best friend is not bothered by such graphic images, I don't know how she does it.
It seems like the old stuff is doing a fuckload of damage, so maybe those in higher numbers would actually be more effective.
If you mean the TB-2 drone they've been using, those are about the size of a Cessna. The Switchblades can be carried with an infantry unit, so different capabilities and uses. Though I'm sure the UA would love more TB-2s.
Yea that's what I meant.
I'm sure the US military has tons of inventory stashed that they themselves consider outdated, but the Ukrainians would kill to have.
Fucking hell. This was a wild speech even by Putin's standards, absolutely fascist in nature.
He's also having a go at the Oligarchs, which is a pretty good indication that he's trying to politically reposition himself against them (and that Putin is himself coming under big pressure).
With how it's going for Russia, the US smells the chance of seriously crippling Russia for years to come, so it makes sense to pump every possible support into Ukraine, without becoming an active warring party.
It's pretty typical for the Russians to give an upgrade variant a new name to make it seem like a brand new, more capable thing.
The T-90 is a T-72 with a new turret, engine, and active protection system.
The Su-35 is an upgraded Su-27.
The MiG-35 is an upgraded MiG-29.
The AK-12 is basically a AK-74M with rails and some new furniture.
uhm, that speech was insane. I never bought the whole Putin is losing it mentally theory but now I don't know.
