  1. There have been some real outside the box discussions on ways to change the situation on the ground so it favours Ukraine. Tactics, equipment, training etc. Have there been, or is there some on-going/parallel outside-the-box thinking on ways to change the situation off the battlefield? Not just the usual Sanctions. I would hope there are different economic, diplomatic (not-so diplomatic) groups/organizations and governments breaking their heads open trying change the calculus in Ukraine's favour. I realize Putin is not going to negotiate, at all. But what has been tried so far is only kinda working (it seems). Or might have an effect, in the long term. In the meantime, I hate to see more Ukrainians dying. Feels like there should be a diplomatic special-forces equivalent group that is authorized to try other non-military solutions to amp up the pressure on Russia so they'll crumble sooner. I'm sure there must be constant efforts in this direction, but its frustrating to watch and not know.
  2. Looks like the whole crew survived. Lucky for them. You guys think it was a Javelin?
  3. I suppose it could be a Leopard . . . If this grainy FLIR silhouette is compared to a Leapord there is is some resemblance in silhouette, and those white plumes could be exhaust (rather than void space beneath a tractor) if the helicopters POV is from behind the tank
  4. It's a good question, as the video is quite pixelated. But if you frame by frame it (earlier, before the plane or bombs are in view), something box-like and smallish in the lower left of frame pops out in/over a few frames, parked on the grass where the second bomb lands. Could be a vehicle I suppose. But impossible to tell, really.
  5. Before or after he gets lightly incinerated in a smoky plane wreck? After I’m flattened and scorched by the Alien meteor, you can both feast on my well done, gammy leg. Har!
  6. In the pics You can see the dirt tracks left behind from some other tracked vehicle on the top deck of the front hull of the damaged tank. Something rolled right up and knocked into the turret barrel was likely impacted in that same collision
  7. I think you can see all three crewmembers survived that T80 getting nuked. (Javelin?)
  8. Seem to recall reading about German 1st parachute division in Ortona teaching us that trick back in the day. the victims of that tactic usually complained how boobytrapping buildings were an outrageous act, as if the tactic wasn’t considered fighting fair or some such. But it seems like a relatively common tactic.
  9. Those beavers could be dropped from drones to gnaw through the Russian blindages. Just have to teach them how to toss a frag . . .
  10. On the lighter side, MITSI studio did a nice little animation on how countries fight their wars. The last one is a great tribute to Ukraine basically smashing RFs. Moskva skinking, turret tossing and drone mastery. Youtube Mitsi Studios Also, check out their Battle of the Atlantic video
  11. Does it seem strange to anyone else that there's all this audio accompanying the long-distance drone video that includes the sound of foot-falls and dirt/debris sliding etc. Seems like it's been dubbed overtop. Unless they've got a microphone on the treeline or something . . . I think I've seen something like that before where the sounds of the artillery shells detonating happen at the exact same time as the visual, even though it's being filmed from over a kilometre away (or more). The sound of the artillery shell sounds like a canned SF/X. Neither here nor there, but the post-production on some of these clips (w/music and atmospheric winds etc.), are definitely pushing a kind of information warfare)
  12. when The_Capt arrives, I think St. Peter would stay buttoned up.
