That's fairly irrelevant. Nobody cares about the Russian constitution, not even Russians. It's kayfabe.

hey now, russia does care about the law, in its own strange way

it's just also very willing to creatively interpret it, change it, or satisfy it in ways that violate the spirit on a whim

I mean, you need some sort of clearance to properly use a radar. Hang back in the tree line long enough and people start asking questions. Namely, people getting cut to pieces asking, "Where the gently caress are our artillery ranging guys?"

Dude apparenly downs a cruise missile or a Shaheed with an anti-air cannon. It looks like the thing does not even have any real sights.



This is what the Finnish version of the same "Sergei" cannon looks like.

max speed on a shahed is 115 mph. they are being used because they are cheap and use up air defenses. and russia has poo poo for real cruise missile build capacity.

Yeah, the shahed is kind of the ideal target for something like a zsu-23-2 in this day and age.

Its slow, it doesn't fly high and its not super small.

Not that its necessarily easy to hit one over open AA sights or anything, but its much closer to the kind of target the zsu-23-2 was designed to destroy

That's just the average Friday night in Citrus County, Florida. Boating on Saturday. Sunday is for quiet reflection on why you woke up in a ditch hugging an alligator and where all this saw dust in your mouth came from.

I thought the same as you about the AK tracers as a guide. What a world we live in. Shooting a ZSU-23-2 over open sights, guiding it in via Serzhant's tracers, all while being alerted to the initial target vector by a keen-eared dog.

Comedy option: Gun slaved to a Track IR setup connected to a little doggy helmet. Firing authority delegated to a human, of course.

In the mission Hind Attack (Operation FLASHPOINT/ARMA Cold War Crisis), you don't actually have to destroy all of the Mi-24s. Removing them from the target area works just as well. It takes a bit of doing at higher difficulties, but you can destroy all but one and use that helicopter to exfiltrate the area. The only thing to watch out for is a Shilka that you probably missed because it is very far outside the operational area. It'll brrt you pretty good on the way out, but you can still complete the mission while the heli is hurtling towards the ground.

"Frozen Russian assets are enough to cover more than 80% of Ukraine’s reconstruction needs," Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro #Kuleba, said in an interview with El Pais.

I seem to recall a few countries have already done this. Is there really any reason not to except that a given country hopes that post-war, they might still be able to be friends with Russia and don't want a few billion dollars wedged into the gap of their diplomatic relations, prying them apart?
