China has never been a US ally.

Owling Howl posted:The main problem with the Iranian drones is that they are cheap and plentiful. Practcally just an MC engine strapped to a fiberglass fuselage and some electronics for control. They seem to exploit a gap in AA capabilities that haven't been developed to deal with that type of threat. AA has been focused on fast and expensive missiles or planes - not swarms of aerial mopeds. It's not sustainable to shoot down a $5.000 drone with a $100.000 missile especially if you can produce the drones faster than the AA missiles. You're kinda hosed whether you shoot it down or not. Old fashioned gun AA systems like the gepard should work https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flakpanzer_Gepard Charlz Guybon fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Oct 18, 2022 |

Rad Russian posted:Just watching the various videos from Russia on telegram from mobilization centers. Mobiks post videos complaining of sleeping on the ground, getting no food, no clothing, rotten weapons, etc. Several big fights already happened inside these centers. However, I have yet to see actual mass refusal or rebelling. The only significant incident resulting in the shooting was a dumb officer insulting Allah. Outside of that nothing. They're openly complaining, have 0 morale, have no decent equipment, say "this is bullshit, we're just cannon fodder" openly on videos and social media, and then still end up in Ukraine trenches in the end. I get that a certain percentage of them have 0 clue what's going on or where they're going, however, most actually have a good idea they're being sent to Ukraine to fight.

Herstory Begins Now posted:They were moving equipment into Kherson through most of the summer and fall. In the last month they've been moving mobiks in and, we think, rotating out some, albeit notably not all, of their better units out. Their defenses around Kherson never collapsed that the way that they would have without any of their good forces left so while there's almost definitely been a withdrawal happening for some time, it definitely was limited in its scope. This was probably the plan all along. Rotate out the high quality troops they have left, rotate in some conscripts that will be sacrificed to ensure the escape of the former.

Nenonen posted:It was absolutely insane to publicly announce that you are withdrawing when there was no plan of how to do it. Not that with the level of Russian comsec you could have kept it hidden very long, but at least the initial rumours were unconfirmed and taken with a grain of salt.

Has anybody got a source to confirm that...? I mean given the opsec conditions that Ukraine seems to be operating under I don't see a reason why they would release this unless it was older footage or from a different area... I smiled.

Mearsheimer's theory is very simple and is really just a modern distillation of the oldest foreign policy theories going back to Thucydides. "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must." However, he insists against all reason and evidence that Russia is strong and Ukraine and the EU are weak. And thus his policy proposals are nonsense. By the logic of his own theories the US and NATO allies in Europe are so much stronger than Russia that they're fully justified in carving out pieces of the former Soviet Union and Russia should just suck it up and try to align with them.

Paladinus posted:As I said, not clear what happened between the videos, but considering that apart from the one soldiers who actually opened fire, the rest appear to have remained on the ground, and were shown dead in the same position, I think at the very least not all of them were perfidious in this case. The victims of perfidy are not the guys on the other side that you try to ambush. It's the guys on your own side that are legitimately trying to surrender, becuase the enemy can no longer trust them and will gun down the whole group.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Imagine if an american did that to iraqis on video, or a cop to civilians, or a frenchman to algerians, or a It'd be okay if any of those examples happened or if any of those situations were reversed. Perfidy is against the rules of war for a reason and this was a flagrant example of such. It's still tragic, because all war is tragic, but it's not a war crime for the Ukrainians. It's the Russian that opened fire that is the war criminal. The blood of his comrades that were attempting to surrender are on his hands.
