Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

Now seeing multiple reports Russian forces are fleeing Kherson
Some Russian telegram blogger said Mylove is fallen with heavy Ukrainian loss.
Ukrainian channel reported the same, but did not mention loss.

If this is the case, then they are probably looking at Nova Kakovhka probably now.
 
There was a scandal years ago about the poor conditions of the gears of the German troops, I have to look further to find it.

This is 2022, still, the situation is the same :

The German army, air force and navy have long had to work with insufficient equipment. They lack mission-capable tanks, helicopters, body armor, backpacks, and night-vision gear. Even warm underwear for the troops on NATO's eastern front is in short supply.


Shortages of body armor. Radios so antiquated they are the butt of jokes from other NATO soldiers. A dysfunctional procurement system that takes years just to acquire shoulder patches.

After decades of budget cuts, the German military is woefully short of basic supplies, whether they’re bullets or backpacks.



So spare us your Hypocrisy....

The Germans don't claim to be the most advanced armed forces in the world comparable to the US before the war.

The German also dont corrupt basic gear by selling it on their version of ebay, giving airsoft equipment to their soldiers in the middle of a war, giving tampon for bullet wound instead of actual field dressing kit, buying Chinese radios & tires from Alibaba, skip out on training & pretty much everything.

While the Bundeswehr lacks funding the Russian have around 12% of their GDP just for defense alone. So not even comparable.

Seriously how do you repost this crap.
Most experienced army based on a few months of fighting aka getting creamed?
Come on man
 
China can do pure CMOS but when you add high resolution ADCs and other Analog stuff and Flash memory they are way behind.
The drones does not use general purpose processors. They use Digital Signal Processors with the mixed signal stuff.
Not Chinas expertise.

Most if not all Western countries can design processors. This is taught in engineering classes.
I said "manufacture", I didnt say "design".
You can design processors under a tree in Uganda if you have the right knowledge.
You can't manufacture processors in Uganda or in Sweden, but you can in China, and if China someday conquere Taiwan, then there is no limits.
Anyway, no need to design anything, it's already done.

"The drones" is a wide word.

We're talking about Shaheds-136, there is nothing to process there but a few data, there is no need to high speed processing. They can use general purpose processors, and if it uses another thing, a more dedicated hardware, it's because is cheaper, smallest and spend less energy.

e.g: A dedicated hardware to decode h264 video can be substituted to a general purpose hardware with the correct software, but it will spend several times more energy, it will be bigger in size/weight, and it will be twenty times more expensive. Mutatis mutandis: the same doing another processing tasks.

In short: Can the West stop Iran from manufacturing Shahed-136 with sanctions to pieces? No, because substitute pieces are everywhere. It's a crappy flying machine, his strong point is price, it's not technology.
 
These drones can be shot down by any AA gun. I will even bet a handful of guys with machineguns could take it down. The problem is you need at lot of them to cover whatever Russia could possibly think of targeting
I dont think these drones actually did the real damage to the ukrainian energy infrastructure. I believe the russians fire cruise missiles and ballistic missiles at the real targets in the shadow of these drone strikes.

The answer to strikes like these (besides shooting them down) would be simply to retaliate in the same manner. Most countries would be able to construct a flying bomb reaching its target by GPS coordinates. No matter how much its praised by some members here.

It can be shoot down with machine guns and Ukraine did it, but that is a matter of luck, they did it and they failed too.

I dont know his real power to destroy infrastructure. But just like terrorism tools are ok, Russia did it terrorizing Kiev.

Retaliate in the same manner would be sending suicide drones to Moscow.

I think it's better for everybody stop Shahed-136 in a cheap way than retaliate in the same manner :lol:.

They are very noisy, so that can be a weak point that Ukraine can take advantage to build another suicides drones to patrol, search and destroy shaheds-136 using sound as a way to find and follow them.

Ukraine has no defense industry left. They were bombed.
