(Bonus points for recycled plastic bottle instead of a professionally made fuel tank.) https://petapixel.com/2022/04/11/ukraine-opens-russian-drone-finds-canon-dslr-inside/ To be fair, they've got a bit better ones, but they depend on smuggled western electronic components, which is not tolerated anymore. Still, they're deadly, even when they are not precise, so Ukraine needs more anti-aircraft weapons of all kinds. Anti-drone "guns" included, of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shahed-136 is intended to be taken down once the target is hit. They are kamikaze drones. Ukraine is struggling to counter them. They are trying to make plans to ''counteract Russia's use of "new types of weapons". Read the article. Russia is a hitting a lot of targets in the south, while saving plenty of missiles. They are a game-changer at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exploded upon hitting the target. I can't believe you need that explained. I know it's normal in russia to claim a Sukhoy successfully intercepted an Igla or MANPADS and destroyed it upon impact, but you can't talk like that with people outside russia, it's considered hilariously stupid. You read daily inventory of destroyed occupiers and their garbage. And my post to which you responded apparently without understanding it. russia initially did hit some targets and it is true that today two targets were still hit, but Ukraine already apparently has something that downs Iranian drones in particular. Ukraine also "downed" Iranian ambassador - his credentials were revoked, because of Iranian hostile act of selling drones to russia, knowing what they'll be used for (murdering civilians). He's now free to go and do what Iranians of his profile do, which is chasing women in Tehran and cracking their skulls for not wearing a headscarf to his taste. Your allies are islamists. I'd throw myself off Kerch bridge. While it's still there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point getting the soldiers to remove their socks and place rocks in them would be a game changer, and still they’d manage some friendly fire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be tragic if it wasn't hilarious and it is hilarious because it's an invading army with ambitions to rule Europe, destroy America and finally introduce indoor plumbing, after stealing all those toilets in Ukraine.

Russia carried out at least five attacks on targets in the region using unmanned Shahed-136 drones in the last few days, Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesperson for Odesa's regional administration, told a news briefing. One of the attacks hit an undisclosed military target in the southern region in the early hours of Monday, he said.'' https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/russia-steps-up-attacks-with-iranian-drones-ukraine-plans-defences-officials/ar-AA12fL2O Seems the Iranian drones are much more effective than previously believed.

lying Posted September 26, 2022 #14140 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I'm hearing reports that far more than 300,000 people are being mobilized. Not sure if its a secret national mobilization, or if local government officials are just taking their own extreme steps. A couple of reports of entire villages and towns having all their military aged men forcibly enlisted. Also reports of companies (including a bank) making all male staff redundant and telling them to go fight in Ukraine. Also, my Malaysian boss who has his finger on the pulse of China's internal goings on says that they are also mobilizing troops. I've been asking him periodically if he thinks China will invade Taiwan and he has always said no, until last week when he said they are mobilizing. Not sure if Taiwan is the target, but it makes sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right. I could see how many of the surrendering Russian soldiers might seek asylum in Germany. So many of them might end up in Berlin. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
