Ukraine is developing a Trembita missile. Ukrainian volunteers have started to develop a “people’s” missile called Trembita. Designers plan to create a small cruise missile with a pulsejet engine.

i dont get why they dont try copying one of the cheapo iranian designs, they are simple enough that the houthis could make them despite the blockade so surely ukraine can

Russian Telegram is reporting that Russia is doing unprecedentedly large air strikes suddenly, right now, with missiles launched from jets. Maybe UKR air defence is finally down?

Could also be an indication that Ukraine is about to kick off some large scale operations and have concentrated alot of their forces to take the offensive.

I remember prior to the Kharkiv offensive there were suddenly a bunch of large Russian missile hits on infrastructure and military centers in the region.

Air strikes have been happening the entire time. There's been more cruise missile launches a couple of days ago I think? They didn't get mentioned here, and I'm not keeping up with the news that much.

It's like middle of the night over there, so nobody really knows what's really happening until at least several hours from now.

Isn’t Ukraine supposed to be in a war of national survival? How do you have a quarter unemployed?

How many were unemployed in the USSR or the US in 1942?

Maybe China won't sell them 20000 cheap 2- stroke scooter engines? Maybe the factories have already presold their capacity to Iran? Manufacturing is not as easy as you think.

I would say it is a pretty different context. Arguably, very little unemployment existed in 1942 (I would count agricultural work as employment) due to almost all human resources were used in some capacity, but there was still an industrial/agricultural sector that needed manpower.

In Ukraine, the strikes have really done a massive amount of damage to Ukraine's industrial base and service sector. It is true that the lights haven't completely gone out (as the previous discussion about the nuclear plants), but a lot of companies just can't do a reliable amount of business for a laundry list of reasons. In addition, the mass number of people who have left have eroded the consumer base on top of everything else. Also, inflation is starting to creep up quite a bit just due to everything else going on, including energy prices.

I do think the IMF really has significantly handicapped Ukraine's ability to defend itself by capping combat pay, it probably had tipped the scales for a lot of soldiers who knew the dangers but their families had needed the money.
