Here is a TERRA unit drone operator showcasing some munitions/hardware. Then narrated combat footage from Bahmut, showing how drone operators work in conjunction with assault infantry. Any dead or injured are censored out. You can turn on captions for translation. https://youtu.be/KS4pZoZf7JI Notice the new drone-specific HE rounds, that are physically three times larger than 40 mm grenades. I didn't catch anything about their payload capacity, he just says that those dji drones can carry two at a time.

In the case of Lukashenko's sudden death or incapacitation, there will be a GRU controlled takeover. I'm pretty sure this exact plan is in the leaked documents from a few months ago.

fatherboxx posted:Neither Kinzhal incerceptions nor successful hits have been confirmed Military expert on ФБК YouTube show recently claimed that Kinzhal is closely related to Iskander or whatever other missile and is very easy to misidentify from broken scrap alone. I don't know how true that is, but Kinzhal missiles are the latest and greatest Russian Boogeyman buzzword of the week, so there is obvious propaganda value in making unsubstantiated claims. Right next to that 600 downed aircraft figure. Take it with a grain of salt

saratoga posted:Dumb question but its been known for over 100 years now that torpedoes work best underwater where they're harder to shoot at and the damage will be more catastrophic. Why do these travel and then explode on surface? Because the drone boats are directly controlled by an operator elsewhere, and it's probably much harder to get a signal when the drone is submerged?

Reportedly the GPS signal around Moscow stopped working at the time of attack, as part of anti-drone countermeasures. There are videos from Yandex drivers flipping out, unable to navigate. It's possible that GPS guided drones are losing altitude or bearing in the wrong direction, thus hitting civilian buildings. Those buildings were clearly not the original target. Pantsir missiles are bigger than Ukrainian drones and have way higher payload. I shudder to think what would happen if one of those things hit a high rise building.

Russian social media is full of families and soldiers complaining about the lack of paychecks. Not even a death payout, regular pay isn't consistent across the mobilized corps. Some have been at the front line for months, while claiming to receive zero money. Not something we can easily cross check, but worth keeping in mind. According to anecdotal accounts, Wagner has been rather consistent with actually paying out to families and next of kin. But they do insist on burying dead soldiers at their own cemeteries inside Russia, and families are fighting local governments to bring those remains home.

Russia is rapidly scaling up drone production, several giant factories going up at this very moment, while established production lines are already cranking up consistent numbers. The drone pilot course is being rolled into 10th grade curriculum to prepare kids for the neverending war. Similar to what's going on in Ukraine atm

I've seen this video posted recently, and even if you ignore commentary, text on screen and whatever explanation given, the footage itself speaks volumes of yet another despicable poo poo that's happening on the ground in the trenches. It shows what appears to be Russian soldiers, using unarmed people as literal human shields. I don't have link to unedited footage, sorry about Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0zhYViidCE/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== IK NOTE:  , combat footage (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Somebody fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Dec 14, 2023 |

I understand hacking state media outlets or public advertising displays to convey anti-war messaging, which happened multiple times. But making credit cards not work is not even in the same ballpark. Unless this was the monetary system of choice for some sort of military procurement, I remain confused

This was asked elsewhere, but never answered. Wouldn't Ukraine benefit greatly from shutting down Russian satellites in orbit? I don't know what kind of logistical hurdles would need to be overcome, considering the technology was tested successfully 50 years ago. Wouldn't that shut down all Russian weapon navigation capabilities? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASM-135_ASAT

Some Russian war correspondents are suggesting that this was due to friendly fire. No proof of course, but could be plausible.
