Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Yeah but its still civilian.

Not like the Israeli Harpy or the Shahed 136.

Nothing civilian about a kamikaze drone. Even if it is a fairly simply design.

Really? So you think you can buy a drone with about almost 100 pounds of warhead pre installed and ready to go?

Well the Shahed is more military compared to the civilian RC no matter how we view them. They already using the Aliexpress drone that cost 10k to hit that oil refinery in Russia. But it didn't have a very large warhead where the Shahed does. I did read just now that the Ukrainians have developed their own long range loitering munition. Don't know if its a copy of the Shahed or their own design.

Well, as I said, this is really low-tech stuff, according to the Ukrainian who had inspected some downed drone, it's essentially a flying wing with a 2-stroke moped engine loaded with 50kg explosive, it would be more likely to be cheaper to make your own using existing RC or Drone available in the market than reverse engineer one of them.

But then that's my own personal opinion.

He is ahead of his time. Anyways, that be great news to bring in Avengers and Vampires and maybe even the Coyotes being use to protect American bases in ME. Perhaps develop a new system that is cost effective and have in large abundance of missiles to defend the cities. This is a great learning experience for the U.S. and its allies in learning how to deal with massive loitering wave attacks.

Yeah, I think this was around the time when DoD or CIA first broke the news that Iran is looking to sell Drone to Russia (Not sure when is the first cable that come out but it should be right around that time) and that senator correctly predicted this is going to happen.

But even if not, seeing how Ukrainian uses Switchblade to their maximum effect, it's not at all surprise anyone would see the Russian started to do the same.

You heard about the Marshall Plan for Germany's recovery? Pls research it and see who paid for it.
US is Vietnam's largest trading partner. Both are benefiting from largesse after unfortunately being bombed to smithereens.

A bland man (Russia) is not going to be able to pull somebody else going down the drain.

So please don't use selective historical facts.

International airspace or not, this is not a smart move to send high value assets unprotected. Pakistan Navy lost an Atlantic MPA during peacetime.

Think they now fly with Typhoon Escort in the area.

I read that the Ukrainians could get the Switchblade 600 with longer range and bigger warhead but not as long range as I would like. Russia have their own loitering munition the Lancelet before the Iranians provided the Shahed 136.

They have a new one coming out. Not sure when.

Iran does have the right to sell weapons to Russia.
That however means that Iran is not a neutral country any longer.

View attachment 888328
That point of view will not save Iran from the repercussions.
Iranians supporting Irans military or military production can now be legally killed by Ukrainans all over the world as they are valid military targets.
Ukraina can also legally fire ballistic missiles at Iran. That they may not have such missiles, and that Iran might replynis besides the point.

NATO is of course in the same situation, but Russia is carefully avoiding to attack NATO as they are non-belligerent, and Russia wishes they remain non-belligerent.


Good luck getting hold of the US electronics components in such volumes.

that will be the case if Ukraine ask Iran for weapon and Iran say no ,
Did such thing ever happened?

Apple Watch ultra retails 999 euros. If he hates it he can give it to me.

The rule of neutrality is only applicable if there is a war going on.
Weapons sold before a war starts does not affect the status of the country selling the weapons.

during the war you sold to KSA , you and your selective rule of neutrality
During the war eu sold to UAE.

and you're not neutral only if you refuse to sell weapon to the other party

And now iran “gets even” on those big and small satans…by acting exactly the same or worse at the expense of ukranian civilians.

Iran firmly in the north korea camp/direction. EU should and likely will adopt a much harsher stance against the mullahs.

Sad to see iran slip back further to a medieval thinking dictatorship.

You recall this from having visited many teachers or just what the Revolutionary Guard tells you or a random youtube you tend to click.

Teachers are funded by county Govt, not federal Govt. Teachers in US do okay: they drive cars, they go on summer vacations, and they don't have to take on second jobs. They are not as highly paid as Finland but they do okay.

Students in school that come from lesser backgrounds have their school meals paid for so no school child is hungry.

Iran , i recall, teachers live below the poverty line but yet somehow manages to use satanic processors and give them to Russians.

if Forbes and TCF and NYTimes are aquired by IRGC

N.Y.C. Schools Are Forced to Cut Hundreds of Teachers as Funding Drops (Published 2022)

More than three-quarters of district schools have lost enrollment. “I’ve wiped their tears and assured them the future is hopeful even as I’ve told them I’m leaving,” one teacher said.

www.nytimes.com

and NCR article from 5 years ago , the teachers wages have seen one of the highest rises in last 5-6 years compared to the rest and by the way NCR is a affiliated to some terrorist groups who have been proven to publish bullshit
the article was truth if it was 10 years ago

Footage of the offensive of the Ukrainian army units in the Berislav direction on October 19 has been published. After Russian artillery strikes, the armored group of the Ukrainian army dispersed and retreated, having lost, according to preliminary data, a tank and abandoned the MT-LB transporter.

The Russian army captured an American M113 armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian army. Why the armored personnel carrier was abandoned is unknown, it is reported that the armored vehicle is on the move and requires only light repairs.

With the help of the UR-77 installation, the Ukrainian army clears the road from mines.

An episode of the battle of Russian units in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction in Ukraine. Despite the wound, the Russian soldier with a machine gun is moving quite actively. The video has been shortened.

How Iran suicide drones are made, and how to stop them?

Germany’s flak tanks “Gepard” are best suitable means.

 

[Hack-Hook]

And the TOW missiles have top attack mode. So it doesn't really matter how modern the tank is. Its thin on the top.

you are aware that top attack mode is completely different from top attack mode of javelin .
javelin hit tank from top . Tow top attack mode is just fly 1-2m above tank and explode there only good against targets like Humvee or if infantry is hiding behind a wall cant penetrate tanks.

about can\t be jammed if its wire guided yes , if its the laser variant well there are ways to deal with them , but as its a beam riding laser i agree its a lot harder to deal with it compared to other types . but that bring out the problem , you must keep tank on sight in all the duration of attack and you put the team in danger . (which is 2-3 men not one like Javelin) also the training and if the troop follow it in heat of war is another question.
let be honest right now the bulk of the troop of ukraine and russia are conscripts and nonprofessional troops with limited amount of training , in heat of war these type of troop tends to loose their cool far easier than professional ones

TOW needs fuel to move. Where's Ukraine going to get fuel with no electricity? You cannot refine oil without electricity.

tow can be transported by hand there is no need that it be carried by car , it just need a team of 3 to do that
