I mean sure but this time it was some fat guy in a thong. Maybe next time it's a guy with explosives. You don't just let loving random dudes saunter up to your military poo poo in a war zone.

Better question: The gently caress kind of clown show are these guys running where after arresting and forcing a public apology out of some Russian gammon for taking a selfie with a S400 you do not relocate said S400 and it then gets blown up months later.

Very good point. I guess the answer is "this kind of clown show".

Russians: basically Klingons

That's insulting to Klingons to compare the Russian state to them

Klingons win tons of wars and are actually really good at logistics and planning

Russian State can't navigate how to stop a nation without a navy from defeating them at sea

I got to see/hear a Viggen up pretty close this year - it was v. small and extremely loud

Lol what

There’s a military museum I visit on occasion and they have several Viggen, Draken and a Gripen. Viggen is NOT a small plane. 16.4 meters with a 10.6 meter wingspan.

Longer and wider than F-16, Gripen, Draken etc

If anything standing right next to it I was surprised at how loving big it was.

this makes sense as the key grip has to maneuver the props. so you would expect the draken to be larger than the gripen

I only saw it in flight in an airshow, and it seemed dinky compared to all the other aircraft, especially because it was so much louder than everything else.

Lol I just saw a video captured by a drone of it buzzing a trench and a mobik gives up and throws all of his gear off and starts gesturing surrender and then his buddies start running, and the mobik throws them under the bus by waving and gesturing at the guys running away and pantomimes them shooting before pantomiming himself empty handed. Good luck private conscriptovich, kinda hope you made it to surrender because that was a huge lol at the speed at which you went "gently caress you guys I'm out"

Is the punishment for corruption in the Ukrainian military/production/procurement increasing?

I'd think someone stealing vital war supplies during a war for survival would be shot for treason as soon as the trial is over in most countries.

Depends on how rich and well connected the person is, not the level of corruption

The thing to understand about Russian is that a lot of the translations are wonky because of the extensive use of mat. Mat is a sublanguage made up of pretty much nothing but cursing. There are at least 37* different meanings for "gently caress your mother" (yob tvoyu mat) that are dependent on tone, context, etc. It could mean anything from "This surprised me" to "That's excellent" to "Literally gently caress your mother" (this will get you beaten). A good mat speaker - something pretty much only native speakers can converse fluently in - looks like that mishmash of florid prose and raw vulgarity.

Fun fact: mat is legally regulated by Roskomnadzor, the government agency responsible for censoring and blocking the internet in Russia

*slightly exaggerating but not by much

Also, lmao two more boats got hit

https://twitter.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/1702358441719664675?s=20

also beyond just mat, languages are wildly different and any translation is just an exercise in approximation at best.

Imagine how many rifle grenades they can strap to that sucker.

Though, in the video in the linked tweet, they're demonstrating using one for evacuating wounded personnel. I think it's actually cool we have quadcopters big enough for those purposes now.
