Any updates on the status of current day Potemkin McDonald’s operations inside Russia? If they’ve moved up past outdoor uncovered storage of buns then I suspect the sinister hand of the heniken group in getting them back and functional. Personally I’d hope they are just down to offering the mcshrimp and a gluten flavour dipping sauce.

Latest I found was this;

seems like mixed reviews overall if somewhat changed up

The war has not been good for womens rights in Russia, as the government has only increased policies that are hostile to women since the beginning of the war. Human rights activists have rung the alarm, but there is not much they can do at the moment.

If there’s no meaningful response why not gently caress with US drones? What are they gonna do, sanction more

Clearly the US is loathe to escalate, especially on behalf of a flying robot

honestly, more Russian jets ramming into US drones probably works out a lot better for the US than for Russia in terms of replacement airframes.

Given the muddy terrain I would imagine these could be better than the treaded variety in some cases; I could see these being used in hit-and-ran raids, hell- one of these bad boys could be used to escort HIMARS

The US will just unpack another Reaper and set it off to resume daily routines. Russia ain't exactly going to be replacing Moskva and 510 crewmen any time soon, if ever.

As of 2 years ago the US has built over 300 MQ9 Reaper drones. Comparing it to the Moskva is just a hilarious self own lol

100 Predators would probably be enough to destroy what's left of Russian air defense and airplanes, with how Ukraine uses what aid they get as effectively as possible.

And its worth noting that Russia is struggling to get the materials and parts to repair their current air fleet and some doofus just splatted it into a replaceable drone.

Most Russian fighter craft are hand crafted, effectively, versus production line like most EU/US fighters.

Alas I think the predator/reaper is really vulnerable to AA. It would be interesting to see how the Ukrainians could put it to use.

The predator platform was designed to be real cheap too. (by DOD aviation standards)
