Now I’m just a simple country lawyer, but perhaps with issue is shooting clouds of metal darts at crowds in a dense urban environment with demonstrable disregard for human life, rather than the darts themselves.

The issue with doing this is getting the permission slips from all participants beforehand.

As the head of the Mikhailovsky Artillery Academy said: "The share of artillery in firing losses during the SVO has reached 80%.
And if you count the shooting of tanks from closed firing positions, then there is as much as 90%.

If we take one artillery unit as an example and distribute shares between barrel and reactive artillery, barrel artillery accounts for about 70% of defeated targets, and reactive artillery - 30%.
How does all this relate? First of all, with the tasks carried out by the regiment.
As I have already pointed out, our main task is counter-battery warfare, and the main one is to destroy the enemy reserves. And as the intensity of work of artillery units of the enemy is several times higher than the activity of the reserves, so the share of use of barreled artillery is greater than that of reactive artillery.

Well, as for the issue of military acceptance for the training of artillery officers, one can only rejoice at the level of training and the quality of the training facilities.
I should like to draw our colleagues' attention to the camouflaging of positions and guns. And, once again, I would like to appeal to Vladimir Grubnik and the fairies of his project Narodnaya Set with a request for five kits!
To sum up the video, I can say that there are a few ideas that I will try to bring to life. I recommend all artillerymen to take a look.

Voyennaya Priyomka "Artillery Academy"

What do the crews of Russian "Smerch" think about American "Hymers", is there a way to stop "Iskanders" and why Russian artillerymen of the future are trained for service under the cover of night. This time, Voyennaya Priyomka goes to the country's main artillery training centre, the Mikhailovsky Military Artillery Academy. Established in 1820 after the wars with Napoleon, the academy for 200 years remains the main forge of artillery staff of the country. And it is very effective: according to the Head of the Academy, the portion of loses inflicted on the enemy by artillery forces during the special military operation is nearing 80 percent.

The US military is working on using high-altitude balloons to monitor China and Russia, according to a report by POLITICO.

The balloons, capable of flying at up to 90,000 feet (27.4 kilometers), would reportedly become a part of the country’s extensive surveillance network for tracking hypersonic weapons.

The development comes amid international concern that Russia and China are ahead of the US in hypersonic missile technology.

According to budget documents obtained by the outlet, the US Department of Defense has signaled its intention to move the technology beyond the scientific community to various military services.

“High or very high-altitude platforms have a lot of benefit for their endurance on station, maneuverability and also flexibility for multiple payloads,” senior fellow for the International Security Program Tom Karako said.

That's true of a lot of the really big ones but most nonprofits, reputable or otherwise, don't have the budget to cover those things.

As far as this dead nonprofit worker/ex-marine dude is concerned, it's dumb as dogshit to lionize him without knowing anything about his past life, and it's also dumb as dogshit to say that he was 100% conclusively a spy who deserved to get fragged.
