Two years in a penal colony vs. almost certain death in a war that your leadership doesn't give a fuck what happens to you. Hmmmm.  Tough decision!

Yeah. But chances you’ll be be starved, raped and beat to death anyway. Tough decisions.

 An amazing video by the 3rd assault brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces. This perfectly illustrates why @LibertyUkraineF

is focused on drones. You can see the drones providing situational awareness to the Ukrainian troops to save their lives when we are outnumbered and outgunned.

So... another "fireworks factory" had an "accident?"

Girkin's wife says he was transported to the court in the same vehicle with Ukrainians and that this poses a great danger to her husband:   "The lawyer said that during the process of bringing Igor from Lefortovo to the court, he was in a paddy wagon with Ukrainian citizens accused of war crimes in Mariupol.  I believe that this type of practice poses a potential threat to my husband. I regard this as criminal negligence of the leaders of the convoy service."

Assuming it's in reference to this:

And I imagine the Navy is going to have to totally re-imagine things. They are going to have to stay far away from shore. And carriers might be better off carrying a large number of smaller drones with smart bombs, missiles, and torpedoes rather than large planes with fighter pilots. Using planes as hubs and drones as the combatants is an interesting twist. It would totally change the type of planes and drones needed.

I’m just waiting for someone to actually show how a swarm could be. I’m talking hundreds of drones at one time. We see them doing light shows and making shapes. We should be able to create massive havoc with a true “swarm”. I know it’s the semi early days of the tech in military usage but soon we should see some pretty crazy formations…or should. I’m about to switch careers to a drone operator…

 

The Navy is surprisingly on the ball. Navy/Darpa have been working specifically on small drone swarms since at least 2011. I had a buddy working on a Navy/Darpa grant to study it that started around then. 

I think losing all those carriers in war games has their attention.

I was talking to a friend who had retired from the Air Force, and works as a contractor doing avionics programming, and I mentioned the F-15EX is starting to show up in the AF, and that it was the Strike Eagle on acid, still with the back-seater and he said "you know, the back seater is going to eventually be another pilot who is running UAVs that do the actual strike missions while the F-15s are out of reach of the enemy, right?"

Looked it up, and he's right. They are planning that.

that technology dates back to 1942 at least.

It's time to give the Russians the white phosphorus treatment on their trenches. It isn't a war crime, as long as they don't use it against civilians. Set the fuses long on the artillery to where the shell doesn't detonate but a couple of hundred feet above their heads. The Russians used it against the civilian population of Bakmut:

Burn the fuckers out into the open.

If you are pressing down on their stomach/chest, you can force the remaining air/decomposition gasses/whatever out of their lungs and it almost sounds like they are moaning, but holy fuck it smells awful.

The Sanna Marin mask usually prevents that.

Cheap aussie drones reportedly used to strike a MiG-29 and four Su-30 fighter jets at Kursk airfield in western Russia last weekend, where they also damaged two Pantsir missile launchers and part of an S-300 air-defense system,

A low-cost "cardboard" drone that arrives flatpacked and is held together with rubber bands is giving Ukraine an unexpected edge on the battlefield.

It's called the Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System, or PPDS for short, and is made by the Australian company SYPAQ.

It has been in Ukrainian hands since March, when the Australian government announced it would send at least 100 per month as part of a $20 million aid package, The Australian reported.

According to SYPAQ, the drone arrives in a package some two and a half feet long — and isn't much more complicated than an IKEA product.

But the low-tech framework is packed with a military-grade guidance system.

SYPAQ says it's quick to assemble the drone from its parts: a lightweight board frame, a propeller unit, and an avionics system which soldiers can program with a target location.

The drone can carry up to 6.6 pounds, making it useful for dropping off medicines or ammunition.

To adapt it for reconnaissance, soldiers simply "cut a hole" in the drone for a camera to see through, SYPAQ manager Michael Partridge told IT-focused news outlet The Register.

The finished build has a wingspan of around six and a half feet. It is so light it can be launched by catapult, or literally by being thrown like a giant paper plane, according to Australia's 7News.

At a reported cost of around $3,500 each, they're cheap by military standards.

Depending on its payload, it travels at around 37 miles per hour, and has a range of up to 75 miles. And when it arrives, soldiers can simply retrieve the cargo, detach the propeller and avionics module, and throw away the frame.  

Although it's known as the "cardboard drone," there's conflicting information as to what its main framework is actually made of.

Partridge told The Register that it's made of waxed cardboard — a description repeated in nearly all media reporting so far. In a recent announcement the company coyly said it's "known as the 'cardboard plane.'"

But a product specification uploaded on the company's website, likely in late August, describes it as being made from lightweight foldable foam board, which appears to match some images.

SYPAQ did not immediately respond to Insider's request for clarification, sent outside of working hours.

Cardboard is "transparent to radar, so harder to spot," Oklahoma State University drone researcher Jamey Jacob told Popular Mechanics.

"The radar will pick up things such as electric motors, batteries, and propellers, but not the cardboard," Jacob said.

That potential capacity for extra stealth gained media attention this week when Ukraine's ambassador to Australia echoed claims by a prominent Russian military blogger that they were used to attack a Russian airfield.

Several details of the attack remain unconfirmed — including whether Corvo PPDSs were even involved — but the airfield was just within the drone's reach from Ukraine.

Per the pro-Russian Telegram channel @fighter_bomber, Ukraine used a swarm-like formation of several unarmed Corvo PPDSs amidst drones packed with bombs, helping the swarm evade radar.

Outlining another potentially destructive use of the drone, the former Australian general Mick Ryan told Australia's The Age newspaper that it would be east to adapt the Corvo to carry explosives.

SYPAQ has not responded to several previous media requests for comment on whether it's been used in lethal or destructive missions, but in March Ukraine's ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko told 7 News Australia that: "I know it's been used for those purposes," without specifying further.

It has never been about NATO. The yesterday night attack on Pskov airport, the most-westbound Russian military hub, demonstrated that it was left totally defenseless. A hypothetical NATO attack from this, most natural, direction  would have been devastating. Yet all resources have been directed towards the re-conquest of Ukraine. It has never been about NATO.

The #Pskov conclusions are important. 

1. The war is increasingly moving to #Russia's territory, and it cannot be stopped. This is a consequence of the lost frontline component (Russia has long been fighting only in numbers and only in defense, despite all propaganda myths) and the lack of realistic power control systems in the regions (including air defense). 

2. Calls to avoid any strikes on the legal territory of the #RF look strange and still continue to encourage the RF to continue its aggression. Nevertheless, #Ukraine strictly adheres to the obligation not to use the weapons of its partners to strike Russian territory and acts exclusively within the principles of defensive war. 

3. #Putin is absolutely not a subject suitable for negotiations. The "story" of #Prigozhin's demonstrative murder shows that Putin will not comply with any agreements, does not want any agreements, and is focused solely on escalation, scaling up murder and destruction. So, as long as Putin remains president, the war will continue. Pulling Russia deeper and deeper into the abyss of chaos.

Wonder if Russian air defense is keeping their radars off for fear of being found and hit?  Or maybe too many of them are in Crimea/Eastern Ukraine.
