Hekk posted:I think our inter forums drama derail has runs its course. This thread is for discussion about Ukraine and it’s defense against Russian invaders. Please try to steer conversation back that way. I fail to see how posting about Russian disinformation campaigns is germane when it's pulling from twitter but not when it's pulling from SA. It's the same poo poo, but suddenly it's not okay to talk about when someone points out it's this website hosting it. Jarmak fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Jul 24, 2022 |

Jasper Tin Neck posted:An ammo dump probably got HIMARSed and the ensuing fire cooked off a bunch of incendiary Grad rockets. We've seen similar fireworks when other dumps have gone boom. The Russians have been sending incendiary Grads across Donetsk City (where that video was shot) to Avdiivka every night for almost a week. These are either early releases or the Russians decided to send a few way short. Either way, it's War Crimes O'Clock.

The only other conceivable option is some sort of nonsensical false flag using weapons Ukraine doesn't even seem to have.

That post did get me thinking- what happened to Azov? It seems like coverage of them stopped after Mariupol. Did they get folded in with another righter-wing extremist group, or are they just not that much of a relevant entity anymore?

Most of them are in captivity, some were freed in exchange few weeks ago; a part of Azov is still functioning as a special forces unit on the frontlines and they regularly post videos.

It’s also confusing cause there are a fair number of people who aren’t in the azov unit but wear azov patches for angelic wolf morale reasons or whatever.

It was my understanding that a large part of their forces were killed/captured in that encirclement, but there was a portion of their forces in the outskirts of the city that was able to withdraw with the rest of the Ukrainian forces. At least that’s what I half remember from a map a month or two ago.

Seems hollow until one realizes they aren't recognized as actual countries by anyone other than Russia, Syria, and North Korea, and being on the list basically gives the US government the ability to assassinate them through covert means without anything other than a basic legal review. psydude fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Jul 24, 2022 |

UAF seem to be continually forming new Azov units under their SSO umbrella in different regions (Kyiv, Kharkiv) including veterans of the original Azov units, but I'm not sure it isn't more coopting the fame/prestige of Azov to recruit. Compared to earlier in this phase of the war there does seem to be less or at least less prominent fascist imagery, so hopefully most of those guys are out of it. Probably many of them died or were captured in Mariupol as already mentioned. https://twitter.com/VBTC_22/status/1533596024463400960 https://twitter.com/Militarylandnet/status/1550788616858865664 https://twitter.com/UAWeapons/status/1550216378820562945 https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1551012558718509057

I've seen a lot of tankies parroting the line that the USSR single-handedly defeated the Nazis in WWII, so this tracks.

One of the, apparently, higher ups in Azov left and formed Kraken shortly after 2014/2015 iirc. While Azov was in Mariupol, Kraken was operating around Kharkiv.

I've never heard of it for rockets but yeah jets definitely have computer controlled targeting/auto release for tossing dumb bombs. Not sure how accurate it is but it's surely a lot better than having the pilot guess!

Can't speak to Russian equipment but with most US planes I'm familiar with you can choose between the computer telling you where your bomb is going to hit, or choosing a spot for the bomb to hit and having the computer tell you where to fly. For the latter basically you line up with the target and hold weapon release and the computer lets it go when the parameters are correct. There's fancier cool-guy versions of that for JDAMs so you can pitch up and toss them far, the normal dumb-bombs stuff is intended for a more standard attack profile and probably can't hit the broad side of a barn if you try to toss them like that.
