I'm gonna read this and see if there are any clues to why great grandpa became an alcoholic and beat his wife and kids. He was in the artillery. I was of course was too chicken to join, so if Faust even got to be kicked out he has that on me.

People shareda link to a wonderful post by Khodakovsky. https://t.me/aleksandr_skif/2244 Well, you figured out who the pest is, dragging out the war, right? However, literally in a couple of days...SUDDENLY! ( )That's why welovedon't lovelovedon't lovelovedon't lovelovedon't lovelovedon't lovelovedon't loveappreciate Pan Khodakovsky. For the fact that if you shake off the verbal husk, you can get a chemically pure "message"

Fools are urgently needed in huge numbers, ready to voluntarily fight under the current command and with the current level of technical equipment, for whose mass death you will not have to answer.

The war will be long, you need a lot of fools.

It's logical, huh. "Donbass unaccounted for" ends. I already wrote about the drafting of diabetics in the DPR, and in the LPR the military commissars recently caught fishermen - the men were sitting at home, listening to the previously mobilized, who had already gone to hospitals, they were not eager to go to war. But they went fishing in the morning. It's boring to just sit at home. The military enlistment officers realized this moment and early in the morning staged a raid on fishermen at headquarters.

And, I repeat, there are people who are PROUD of all this nonsense, when people without training, with mosquitoes, iron helmets and without armor are thrown directly into the batch of urban battles. Moreover, these are the same people who laughed at the Ukrainian "wooden machine guns".

And, I repeat once again, whoever saw Debal is no longer laughing in this circus.

The Russian leadership will fight with the maximum possible losses, because non-mobilization and non-declaration of war meet its momentary political interests, and most importantly, this is a SEA of irresponsibility in which our generals and political leadership have been happily splashing since February 24.

The only question is how long the middle command will be able to stretch the people remaining with him.

On this beautiful morning for the old-schoolguys, we broadcast no less old-school music

Tune in to the fact that the war will be protracted. Even if there are some suspensions for a period, for example, negotiations, or for some other reason, the whole process will be long. This is not only my opinion, but the opinion of many who are immersed in the situation.

Today I met with the creators of various systems whose products we used during the hostilities: with signalmen who provided us with advanced communications, with UAV designers who made a significant contribution to the development of this area, with engineers in the field of detecting optical devices .... Everything they are fans of their work, devoted to both the profession and the country to the maximum possible extent, but for the most part not appreciated by this country.

But they exist, they work, they create something new, which may not surpass imported analogues in terms of its capabilities, but allows us to be competitive. All these people are looking forward to when there will be a holiday on their street, and they will be able to see how their developments will be implemented and bring maximum benefit. In the meantime, everything is going something like this: the top management sends them to the middle, and the middle to the most important, which is below average, but very influential in the field of tenders and purchases. And as you go down the hierarchical ladder, the initially high interest in them on the lower steps turns into slight irritation: why did you come? it was still so good...

I love old school music. I'm not 40 yet and I do have a strong penchant for 90's music but I think one of the greatest albums ever made is CCR Revival.

I'm afraid the same is happening here. Their tactics are shit (RU).... no doubt. But the unmerciful amount of shelling takes a toll.

I think you're falling for the Russian propaganda, they are constantly making failed attacks and taking heavy losses for almost 4 months now, the area of their offensive focus and concentration has progressively and constantly shrunk since day 1 of the war and is still very notably doing so because they are constantly failing in their objectives. The Russians are rapidly reaching a point of exhaustion and going through ever older stocks of more outdated and less reliable weapons.

If you double the equipment losses the Russians have taken so far in Ukraine over the next 4 months their army is effectively mission killed since they would have lost close to 50% of their pre-war armored standing force and over 30% of the KA-52 attack helicopters, probably have no advanced guided munitions left, and reduced to almost nothing but old D-20 artillery which they are already starting to pull out and rely on more and more.

Meanwhile Ukraine is constantly training up new recruits faster than Russia can kill them, constantly getting newer and better heavier weapons, and has received weapons deliveries from a laundry list of countries that effectively make up about 60% of global GDP. And it really the enormous scope of countries willing to deliver weapons to Ukraine that guarantees it will not be running out. And those countries are also essentially tapping produces in South America to also help Ukraine like the 155 shell factories in Chile. IE you have the greater part of the military production of North and South America, Europe, Australia, Turkey, Japan, and South Korea all openly arming and funding the arming of Ukraine. Russia is beyond fucked.

IE, there is never going to be a day where things ever get easier for Putin army in Ukraine. All the momentum he and his army loses he is never going to get back. Russia has 70 years of rotting weapons stockpiles it is going through faster than anyone would have ever believed possible given the limited results and when its gone Russia will truly be a blank as a military power because its modern production and procurement capacity are abysmal even before the sanctions.

The world already voted that Russia is an evil genocidal rat country, 145 voted for, 35 abstained, only 5 voted against condemning Russia criminal genocidal war in Ukraine. You are the new Nazis. Period. To the entire planet pretty much outside the other Nazis in China.

Yes Russia is trying to blackmail the world via raw materials and foods stuffs is another reason the world hates and is against Russia. You should actually note there has been Moroccan, Algerian, Turkish, Indian, and Israeli volunteers in Ukraine killing Putin's rats among like 40+ other nationalities. Literally the whole world san China is holding hands to kill you Putin rats. Meanwhile Russia hated across most of middle east for its genocidal antics in Syria by almost everyone but the Alawites and Iranians.

Russia wants to sell us stuff, china wants to produce our stuff.

Both are nothing but the last true empires on the planet run but ethnic nationalist racist who belong in the 1800s and earlier; no one could ever trust or support Russia except from a place of total ignorance and total idiocy. Telling that Russia's only real ally in the world is a geocidal state run by apes like Syria and monsters like Kadyrov. Or kim Jong un.

I think Nato is that real enemy.

No one cares what Putin rats think. You are the new Nazis. Period. You have no right to an opinion that matters. Rats don't get listened to, they get exterminated.

Peace is something that people not only choose, but deserve.

Russia is the farthest thing from peace and is engaged in a genocidal Nazi war not seen since 1939 and and something literally out of the medieval eras in its evil and chauvinism. You have no legitimacy or right in the eyes of the world to step foot in Ukraine and all your actions there are identical to Nazi crimes 80 years ago.

Any pro-Putin Russian can be butchered like cattle, like literal Nazis, there is no death too horrible or cruel for them, and it is a simple service to mankind to off them. Congratulations on where your little Hitler has lead you in the eyes of most of the world. I literally dream of bathing in Putin's blood or that of anyone who support him. Practically gives me a hard on.

I could brutally murder and torture any Putin rat with why own bare hands and sleep like a baby with their agonized screams as my lullaby. That is the kind of hatred you have earned and I'm not even Ukranian or Eastern European.

Jump by the Pointer Sisters is my current what the fuck how did someone even think of this its so good. Old school Brazilian music is the same as our stuff but catchier if you need fresh meat

If you hear shit too much at the wrong time people can ruin good music for you.

Well said Rico but god damn do you have heads in your freezer?

Proposed Greater Russian Federation flag once Nazis gone, add yellow for Ukraine, purple for wounded and green for peace of Putin. There is no more white cause no more white power Nazis of course.

Fighting Cat's interesting find on why Russian drone video sucks...

That's where I didn't expect to meet people... let's just say... with a peculiar view of the situation, so it's among the UAV developers. Well, they seem to be smart people.

A person writes:

domestic tactical UAVs, analogues of MAVIK, surpassing them in a number of parameters, in some not the most important for a combat UAV - yielding, but this is compensated by the security of the communication / control channel from the AEROSCOPE complexes, which are very dangerous for MAVIK and in some least - systems RTR and electronic warfare of the enemy.

I just want to know - what kind of parameters are there, "not the most essential for a combat UAV."
I open the attached document for potential customers, where the performance characteristics of the device are indicated ... takeoff weight, payload weight, speed, hovering time, flight range, operating temperature range, range of reliable operation of the video signal transmitter ...

Yes. Yes. Video resolution and camera type are not essential parameters. So straight and I see the one who compiled this paper, uttering the magic phrase "Yes, you can put any!".

Amazing. Simply amazing.
