    Couple of clips with ground based drones this time.  Laying mines, a flail drone and bridge demolition.

    Another interesting clip, night time recovery ending in the loss of both vehicles.  Looks like the lead gets stuck in a ditch after trying to out run the ubiquitous bomber drone.

    Wonder if these are the same action (some other tweets state that it is)

    Hey I'm not that old (based on time on the forum at least 😉).  We have lost a few shining stars lately for various reasons, so I'm very happy to see you're still doing great stuff.

    To follow up.  I also do not think most people realize just how weird this moment in history has become from a military power standpoint.  The Cold War came off the back of WW2 and was actually an exercise in downsizing to fit the requirements of the intense strategic competition between the two global power poles.  Defence and Security architectures were largely scaled down from their WW2 architectures to fit the Cold War environment.  The competition then became sustaining competitive advantage in that context, along with negotiations with an evolving social calculus that occurred rather slowly (eg civil and gender equity).
    We then won the Cold War and re-scaled again.  We first created military power to intervene in sustaining the global order. And then after 9/11 built the architectures aimed narrowly at a problematic niche.  Social evolution continued but began to accelerate as the Information Age emerged and began to deepen.
    And then in just a few short years - let’s take 2010 for arguments sake and say 14 years - we saw the re-emergence of a Cold War-looking strategic competition, a hyper acceleration of the Information to whatever the hell this thing is now and, the largest pandemic in over a century.  This has driven social change pressures to crazy levels - like “let’s storm capital hill/defund cops/cancel-mob rule” levels.
    And suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, we are seriously talking about military requirements we have not seen in over 35 years. NATO has just run the largest exercise since the Cold War and we likely had to build things we forgot entirely how to do.  HQs and staffs, force generation, and military capability have all changed dramatically but we are still looking at a massive upscaling requirement to align with strategic realities.  Don’t even get me started on intelligence and security architectures, which have been entirely focused on hunting terrorists and now are being asked to consider under the threshold strategic disruption against other states - those are enterprises that take decades to get right.
    We may look “ok” but we are not “ok”.  We have a very significant expansion in front of us in order to 1) create deterrence,  2) contain expansion of influence, and 3) create new strategic options…on top of an already stressed out social situation - f#cking “woke” is the least of our problems.  Rebuilding entire defence and security strategic power structures to be able to do what we found challenging over 30 years ago while the fabric of warfare appears to be rippling under our feet; while our domestic populations appear really intent on losing their f#cking minds in about 30 different directions at once…is our new Tuesday.
    At this point senior military staff don’t care if someone is gender-fluid, multi-racial and bestiality adjacent - if they can fill a chair better than the forest of traffic cones that we currently have…welcome aboard!
    (did that video get all that?)

    I'm surprised Russia has not claimed that the Il-76 the Ukrainians shot down was full of puppies.
    But seriously, I know we should stay objective and look at all the facts but even if what Russia is saying is true which I really doubt.
    Russian officials are like the boy who cried wolf at this point, between CIA funded biolabs creating supersoldiers, British PMCs selling children to the Coca-Cola company and Ukrainians creating an ecological catastrophe in their own country by destroying the Kakhovka Dam.
    Frankly I just don't believe a damn word they say at this point, when they make claims like this.
     
    EDIT: Footage appears reportedly showing the crash site.

    Supposedly the Russian list of passengers with Ukrainian PoWs is faked.

    Well Gripens are  hopefully coming to Ukraine soon. After that very shameful delay for almost 2 years by Hungary and Turkey

    I presume Russia moving Ukrainian POWs would use buses or trains to get to a land border crossing point not expensive planes?
    This smells of Russian BS as usual.
    Anyone know about the previous swaps and how they took place?

    If you mean the comment about Paypal (perhaps a joke, who knows) was taken out of context, Frank was not to blame either for the comment or taking it out of context.  As has been said above he had nothing to do with the comment and had no intention of taking anyone's money.
    And now we are where we are, with Frank having asked for his account here to be deleted.  Not a good result.

    Indeed. Mr. X was even kind enough to send me one of his campaigns for testing. He never mentioned payment and from my contact with him I can say that he is a perfect gentleman who would never even consider charging money for his great work. All in all rather nasty and unfortunate that it has to be like this.

    I think you may be the one that is misunderstood slysniper. I think Frank has handled it admirably. He was just trying to set the record straight that what he is offering was never going to be payware.
    He is offering to give us all something for free that has cost him many hours of research and dedication, and you have seen fit to have a dig at him?
     
    I really don't see the need or point in your post to be honest

    I will leave this madhouse 🤪
    Sorry guys, but these ridiculous things are a waste of my time. 
    I wanna say thank you for many interesting conversations with many kind guys. 
    And thank you for your support with the [forbidden word 😂].
     
    Of course, I will send my content to everyone of you, who asked me for 👍🏻 There is a last small delay of the release date - so I think in mid February, my mail will arrive you🙏🏼
    And for the last time: you will not have to pay anything for it 👍🏻
     
    Finally, I wish you much fun in the future but be careful of Agent @JoMac. He will investigate all of your dark machinations … sooner or later 👽
     
    Best regards 
    Mr.X

    I can understand Mr.X reaction, feels like he got thrown under the bus due to one post where someone claim that they should send $10 to Mr.X for further instructions. Mr.X has stated in the locked thread and the one from February that this is free. I haven't seen one post where he has hinted that he would like some $$ for his battle pack.
    Battlefront could have earlier (or latest when JoMac posted) added a disclaimer at the top of the thread that this is a fan made battle pack, nothing to do with Battlefront and as long as everything is free it's OK, as it is against the EULA to charge for fan created content. This way I think a lot of confusion could have been avoided.

    Impressive story, Frank. Thank you for sharing that with us. Can't have been easy. My advice would be to ignore this reaction, make use of this publicity and finish your work. Personally I would be disappointed if your thread will not be unlocked again soon.
