I haven't heard of it being used before and it probably has something to do with it being unexpected combined with sparse troops

Like, it wouldn't have worked in Ukraine because someone's going to shoot at you

It's something that Hamas (and US Special Forces and IRGC and probably some others) have talked about before or posted videos of training with paramotors, but I'm not sure we've ever seen it employed really. It is no longer a hypothetical "are you a bad enough dude" scenario.

I think real countries use those autogyro thing which is very easy to fly but slightly safer.

In other words, not RED BULL enough for Hamas.

​Bandit showdowns between the forces of good and light

The Saloreikhov Gurovites are fighting on two fronts. The second one is for the loot. On September 6, a car was blown up at the entrance to Kharkiv, driven by Pavel Pantyo, a soldier of the special forces of the GUR of Ukraine "Kraken". According to preliminary information, the explosive device was fixed to the bottom of the car. Pantyo remained alive, although he was injured.

This was preceded by another story. Five days before, Kraken fighters disarmed a police checkpoint on one of the suburban highways near Kharkiv, where they stopped and tried to inspect several Kraken pickups. The fighters refused to "inspect" in a rough form, and even called for help, which stupidly put the police "under the trunks". Among the participants of the show at the checkpoint was also a blown-up Pantyo. 😒

We are hardly talking about a simple coincidence, especially since we saw enough of such stories in 2016-2017, when the "line of contact" in the Donbas became one big channel for smuggling, from food and coal to more interesting things like weapons and drugs. Many commanders of numerous official and semi-official armed formations operating in the Donbas from the Ukrainian side earned money on the protection of smuggling, and sometimes on the smuggling itself, and a number of deaths among servicemen were actually explained not by the machinations of the separatists, but by purely bandit squabbles over flows. 😶‍🌫️

It looks very much like we have a similar story here. It was, let me remind you, in Kharkov, and the immediate proximity to the Russian border seems to hint that there could really be a lot of things in the Krakenovtsev car that they did not want to show to the police. And the police knew for sure that it was there, which is why they decided to break the chain of command and search military vehicles — and this idea clearly came to their mind for a reason, but at the prompting of kind people. But it didn't work out, it didn't work out, and the problem was solved in a different way. 🤷‍♀️

But yeah, a coup, or a rebel offensive. Anything you've been putting off because the West would likely interfere with your plans, now seems like the time to go for it.

during the sort of crime and punishment phase of the ww2 aftermath, one criteria of inquiry by the communists was if the collaborator had sudden influxes of cash which are very implausible with their previous job or with what they were doing during occupation. For example, camp guards, who got jewelry by beating the poo poo out of the prisoners, robbing from their bodies or taking as bribes.

iirc, there were propositions for taking inventories of deposit of German commercial banks during the war, like as a general action by the government in West Germany, but dunno if anything came out of that (given how things turned out probably nothing)
