  1. They are definitely hitting them
  2. They probably have their transponders turned off, but would be interesting to see if tankers are leaving the Black Sea through the Straits riding high
  3. They planted explosives by hand on pipelines on the other side of Moscow, so we know they have operatives deep inside of Russia .plus, even though the head of Ukrainian intelligence is young, he made his reputation operating behind Russian lines after 2014. I feel like they have a lot of intelligence on Russian AD deployments. Russia may not even be moving stuff around, they maybe pretty tapped out.
  4. More power substations
  5. All of this stuff reminds me of one of my favorite photos from WWII Ploesti,Romania, was bombed Aug. 1, 1943, by a large force (177) of B-24s which came in at smokestack level, braved oil and bombs exploding close beneath them to hit refineries, tanks, cracking plants. 53 aircraft and 660 air crewmen were lost Operation Tidal Wave - Wikipedia
  6. When does China ask for some of their land back?
  7. “Insanely much. Even taking into account how much was stolen along the way. And the bloody Kyiv clowns stole endlessly. Even with the wild corruption of the Banderite regime — it’s catastrophically too much,” wrote Medvedev, apparently just out of the weekend. He insists everything will soon be like the US in Afghanistan: “There will be a return of our citizens and Russian power to the originally Russian lands.” Mondays hit hard...
  8. It’s a good thing Nigeria doesn’t have a shitload of oil…..oh shit.
  9. Ukraine is going to bleed Russia's power infrastructure dry - no way they are keeping up with replacement parts fast enough - their existing stocks have got to be draining quickly..and Russia can't protect all of these substations. Carl Spaatz would be damned proud of them.
  10. It's interesting the more they strike Russia, the more Europe appears to be opening up their wallets/arsenals.
  11. @PTINS They are not letting Russia catch their breath, and this is the third time this refinery has been hit since September 15th. And they hit it multiple times tonight. This was from a few weeks ago: Ukraine confirms drone strike on Russian oil refinery in Saratov Oblast, 2nd hit in a month and supposedly a major supplier to the military.
  12. Gave me vibes of somebody becoming obsessed with a woman and making up a story about her being an alien or paranormal being to convince a bunch of conspiracy idiots to help kidnap her. That never happens in real life.
  13. There are reports India is switching away from Russian oil, and this is promising Exclusive: Turkey buys more non-Russian oil after latest Western sanctions, sources say | Reuters
  14. Ukraine received additional Patriot air defense systems from Germany, President Zelenskyy announced. Meanwhile, Russians are a little bitter about the Olympics
  15. The smaller drones are fairly cheap and using off the shelf explosives (grenades or small mortar rounds rigged up). I don't know if it's that much more expensive if your folks are safe behind the lines and getting multiple kills per soldier - it's a true force multiplier. Ukrainians probably would not still be in this war if it weren't for drones, but damn it's brutal - they are hunting people down in their shelters, trenches, etc. and this shows how precise they are - they are taking out antennas.
  16. They might also be operating non-fiber optic drones, so there's always some lag and they don't quite stop on a dime, especially if they aren't near the front and are inside Russia proper. I would imagine that a lot of the drone operators are either kids whose parents bribed their way out of a ticket to the front, or disabled soldiers that are useless at the front. They need all of the young able-bodied soldiers for the assaults.
  17. When he tried to rename the DOD to the "Department of War", that should have told you everything you needed to know about where we are headed. I think he enjoys having people killed, based on his recent comments and press conferences. But I don't think he could point out Nigeria on a map, and I doubt he knows how many people actually live there.
  18. Don't buy your drones from Temu?
  19. Yeah how do you even train for that. Battlefield Darwinism.
  20. Yes, let's go in "guns-a-blazing" in a country with 230 million people, where half the people (or more) are Muslims.
