RE the discussion about countering Russian GPS jammers, it looks like the US is going to try GPS jam seekers on JDAMs, though work won't be completed for over a year - https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/3765102/
 

This would depend on whether you twice the 50,000 or twice the twice for 200,000.
Quibbling aside, I assumed the interviewee is a non-native English speaker and really meant "twice as much". If he indeed meant 150,000, "twice more than" would be a very strange construction when "three times more" or just saying the number would be simpler and more obvious.
EDIT: another article on losses by Meduza who helped develop the methodology mentioned by the "twice more than" guy - https://meduza.io/en/feature/2024/02/24/at-least-75-000-dead-russian-soldiers. This covers the period up to late 2023 and they estimate 75,000 dead by that time. I think it reasonable to assume then that their estimated number is currently around 100,000.

Is the graph heading missing some zeros? 200K a month seems pretty trivial really even as a spike.

Given the recent discussion on weapon systems, here is an article on the Patriot, its success in Ukraine and how this is increasing demand for it and perhaps increasing its longevity

Is this normal? In both instances it looks like over 20 personnel disembark from a single vehicle. I didn't know you could even fit that many on a tank. From recent videos the Russians have lost a lot of equipment over the past weeks, so are men plentiful but vehicles not so much now?
 

Vodka is just ethanol plus water, so yes

I just looked on AliExpress and ethanol detector boards can be had for a few dollars a piece. Sensors for methanol and antifreeze might be a bit more expensive.

It's ironic that you exactly prove your point by posting an outrage-farming video by someone with a clear political bias watching a video by someone else with a political bias (who misrepresents what people say and asks leading questions) rather than actual data. I will not discuss US politics as I am not American, it is off-topic and it will just lead to a ****-show, so consider this post in the vein of how to form evidence-based opinions, which has been a central point of discussion over the past few pages.
Here is an actual study on this topic. Note how they outline their methodology and openly discuss the limitations of the study. You are also free to decide for yourself if these are meaningful when spread out over the entire population (though you would really need to look more closely at local situations given the way the electoral system works).
