Buddy, you should wiki "Transnistria"

There's fighting along the Moldova/Ukraine border that is confirmed by the Israeli death. He wasn't killed outside of Kyiv. He was killed at the border.

Point of order, that fighting has been going on since 1991.

But in say Fallujah where the majority of civilians have either evacuated or have picked up arms and are now combatants entire sections of the city were destroyed.

That’s one of the problems with arming your civilians - you’ve made the entire city a “legal” target. Take a pot shot from your apartment? Shot, over.

Right and that’s a valid point, but I was thinking more long range artillery and rocket fire.

Where are the drat drones? I seem to recall they used them heavily in Crimea, the recent shitshow with Armenia showed how good they can be and now nothing?

It really does feel like a war run by someone who stopped paying attention 20 years ago, unencrypted comms unsupported tanks, just God drat.

The drone warfare in Armenia was pretty one-sided, IIRC. It was generally Turkish-supplied drones being used by Azerbaijan. Ukraine is using the Bayraktar TB2 which is probably even the same model.

In the situation you are replying to, it works like this:

"Dude in building is shooting at us"

We shoot back, either killing dude or not.

If dude is still alive, has buddies in the same building, or starts some more serious poo poo we call it in.

Building explodes from artillery/missile/rocket/guided bomb.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

In that example, all munitions used are "long range". Artillery/rocket/missile guys get a grid location, bombs get it painted, with a few mix/match for various systems. The people shooting these things rarely, if ever, see what they are shooting at

I think it’s implying everyone wish Pooty Poot would fall out a window. Not implying Putin is dead and they are waiting for the official announcement.
