Ukraine will receive its first Switchblade 600 loitering munitions soon. And per Aerovironment, they will increase production to 6,000 per year in the next several months.

still a battlefield weapon , swithblade 300 can do the job probably cheaper , and while switchblade is more affordable compared to other western weapon , it still lack range and that is what Ukraine need

The GA can suspend Russia for violating the UN Charter. Article 18 gives them that right.
They can remove the diplomatic credentials for the Arissian delegation, allowing the US to arrest or expel them.
Russia is depending 100% on China for protection in this case.

why compare orange with apple , different situation

Based on the reports that I've read and if my memory serves me right, Russian EW has made them useless. Those reports were according to Ukrainian troops fighting in the Donbas region.

Chen Shuibian declared independence like 20 times, just to be largely ignored

In 1999, the Democratic Progressive Party amended its charter to regard Taiwan as already independent as the ROC, and therefore it was unnecessary to declare independence. In his 2000 inauguration speech, Chen struck a more moderate tone and pledged to the Four Noes and One Without: that as long as the PRC did not intend to use military force against Taiwan, he would not declare independence, change the name of the country to "Republic of Taiwan", push for the inclusion of "special state-to-state relations" in the Constitution, or promote a referendum on independence. In addition, he pledged not to abolish the National Unification Council. However, in August 2002, frustrated by a lack of reciprocation from the PRC, he described the relationship as "one country on each side" and initiated a referendum on cross-strait relations in 2004, returning to a more confrontational stance.[71]

In a 2007 interview with the New York Times, Chen reiterated the DPP stance that the Taiwan was already independent.[72]

Post-presidency, Chen has expressed his wishes to one day visit the village in Fujian which his ancestors migrated from in the 18th century.[73][74] In 2018, Chen, along with Lee Teng-hui, expressed support for a Formosa Alliance plan to amend the referendum act to allow for a 2019 referendum on de jure independence, though neither goal was realized by the planned date.[75]


DPP said that but when they come to power refrained from declaring independence and promised until china use armed force against them they don't do that

here your problem is to find a country to claim it represent USSR not Russia otherwise its not a case of ROC and PRC . and non of the former republic who break out of USSR at the fall of communism can make such claim as when they separated from USSR they sign an agreement and transferred all benefit and liability of USSR to Russia even that damned Seat which have med UN a useless and toothless organization (not only that but also the other 4 Seat)

Here your problem.

HOW ABOUT NO SUCCESSION AT ALL? Russia is NOT Soviet Union, and there are no rules or article that said there have to be a successor to a state, on the other hand, EVERY OTHER FOMRER Soviet Union state joined UN separately. except Russia, to which they just circulate a letter (or much rather a memo) from Boris Yeltsin which intended to take over the spot of Soviet Union, they did not sign any agreement to transfer the seat to Russia.
.
You don't need to be a lawyer to know there is a legal challenge here.

Care to change your estimate ? One week is tomorrow and it does not look like it would be fixed by than :

for what that estimation was ? railroad or the road bridge ? so no the estimation for railroad bridge achieved in fact it happen sooner than what estimated . for road that is not something that can\t repair fast and my estimation was not a week for that part but by looking and those part and see how the bridge exactly is built , i say it will be fixed sooner than what i expected that is small damage to the place the bridge lie upon not to the pillar itself , that can be fixed sooner than you think and is less serious than it seems , just lift the bridge then change that part its separate from the pillar itself , its fixed to the bridge by its weight and some locking mechanism very easily replaceable , at least its how we build it , we even some times don't use concrete for it just use some sort of plastic material (that i don't knew exactly what it is) to reduce earth-quack effect . honestly that damage while looking so intimidating , is not that serious , easily fixed

we will be glad if you manage to jam our drones

If the Nato says it can jam then it can, why do you believe it can’t?
Iran drones are guided by some sorts of guidance systems, most likely either by GPS or Glonass. Or you use chinese satellites? or map/visual guidance. Ok if the latter, then it’s difficult to impossible jam.

I was talking about Iran drone’s 2 cycle fuel engine. Where it comes from?

we can build that engine here if want as we do it once for motorcycles (before it become illegal to use two stroke engine in motorcycles . right now probably it come from china by the way as we can build engine for cars since late 70s why you think we cant build those two stroke engines?

What is stopping the GA from transferring the Security Council seat to Ukraine?
The motivation being that Ukraine is the largest part of the former Soviet Union that adheres to the UN Charter.
The analogy with Taiwan becomes even clearer.

the mere unimportant fact that Ukraine while separating from USSR , denounced its right about the seat and signed all USSR rights and liabilities to Russia

interesting , but the legal challenge wold be England , he will be against throwing Russia out of UNSC as its something that may happen to it . if Scotland in one of its routine referendum to separate from Britain , then if they support this narrative right now that will put a precedence here that ca be used against them and take away their veto rights and they don't like it at all , so except them support Russia on it also it will be another problem to make china agree to it because if they agree to it they will be alone there and have nobody back them and it seems if they talk about china in UNSC , it must abstain from voting and rely on Russia to veto it if necessary , no Russia no such support

also
Professor Rein Mullerson [et] concluded that the succession was legitimate, identifying three reasons: "Firstly, after the dissolution, Russia is [sic] still remains one of the largest States in the world geographically and demographically. Secondly, Soviet Russia after 1917 and especially the Soviet Union after 1922 were treated as continuing the same State as existed under the Russian Empire. These are objective factors to show that Russia is the continuation of the Soviet Union. The third reason which forms the subjective factor is the State’s behaviour and the recognition of the continuity by the third States."[4]

The Vienna Convention on Succession of States in respect of Treaties was not a factor in the succession because it did not enter into force until 1996.

Problem is, UK is the same UK that joined UN, and Scotland has not yet independent. Those issue would come to fix when it have to, Russia already took Soviet Union place, that's the difference.

simply there is nothing to jam and the drone also come with INS , the gps is used there to compensate for INS mistake , if you want to jam it you must effectively jam all of ukraine , then your own systems will also find problems , even 5s of weakness in jamming signal result it get correct position and compensate for ins error

I not saying you can’t build the engine.
those one way drones make like a Saigon motorcycle loud noise, fly slow, engine from the 70s. What’s about the controller, chips?
