There were some Russian separatists that crossed the border from Ukraine into Russia and took a small town a couple weeks ago. Haven't heard much since so I don't know the current situation.

Oh those guys OK.
A) I'd forgotten about them.
B) Didn't even know they were somewhere North because I'm not a knowledgeable person.

Do you have a source for 200m? What ive seen says minimum takeoff distance for the gripen is 500m, landing is 600m, and 800m on both for full effectiveness.

:rolleyes: you drive 200m, make an u-turn, drive back 200, make an u-turn, and then about halfway back you take off. PHYSICS, people.

If you want full effectiveness you activate your almonds and just do three u-turns instead of two.

Stuff like this is probably why military installations (at least here) have alarms on everything. Open up a light switch cover plate? That's a silent alarm. (As some conscripts I knew found out much to their own cost.)

Yeah, worth noting that at least Soviet style squad typically were supposed to have one designated marksman (that's what the dragunov was made for, though it doesn't have to be a dragunov of course, variety is a thing) in each squad (I think typically 7 or 8 men). I don't know if Russia or Ukraine still follow that template though I wouldn't be terribly surprised, I've seen those marksmen refered to as snipers before but that is really kind of a misleading label as this is a soldier who still operates within a normal rifle squad, not as part of a sniper team.

I don't speak Russian or Ukrainian, but as a native speaker of a language where marksman and sniper are both the same word, I can understand the conflation.

Huh, just found out one of the guys who had the bridge built is a Finnish citizen. He was in the news a while back because he sued several banks who denied him basic banking services due to the fact that he didn't actually live anywhere in the EEA. He lost.

e: I mean that, and the fact that he's a Russian oligarch profiting from the war, and is on all kinds of sanctions lists.
