It's a joke

interesting footage of the assault on the outskirts of Balakleya. It is noticeable that the Russians simply withdrew from the surroundings, leaving their positions

Russians already have access to the Internet and can receive any information. They just believe what they want to believe.

there is an opinion that the SBU throw pens with invisible ink

A tweet showing what kind of circus this referendum really is. Propaganda videos show that voters do not actually make any choice

That is why it is sometimes important to strike a preemptive strike, and not wait for the enemy to attack your territory.

There is a huge difference between fighting on your own territory or on someone else's. In the first case, the civilian population and infrastructure suffer, in the second case, not.

Obviously, in case of a shortage of firearms, you need to rely on hand-to-hand combat. What a wise decision by the Russian General Staff

There is a mass development of hand-to-hand combat skills for consckripts.

Do not confuse the concepts of guidance and homing - they are completely different things. A missile with a thermal or optical (it's the same) head has an autopilot that guides the missile to the target, according to the thermal (optical) signal from the target, and the operator cannot control the missile - this is called homing. The AT-4 ATGM missile does not have an autopilot and does not have the ability to independently fly to the target. She has an optical guidance channel, with the help of an optical sight, the operator must control the missile until it hits the target. This is called guidance. Osa missile has the ability to be guided both from the radar and manually using optical guidance by the operator (if you look at the osa interior, you can see a TV monitor near the radar screen, using this monitor the operator can manually aim the missile to avoid interference from electronic warfare). Tunguska has only optical missile guidance (the operator must manually control the missile until it hits the target)

An optical seeker is the same as a thermal seeker. An optical guidance channel is a completely different thing. AT-4 Spigot ATGM has an optical guidance channel. But a missile with a thermal homing head does not have an optical guidance channel. Optical sights are needed in Strela 10 to detect and aim the homing head at the target, after which the head captures the heat of the target and the corresponding launch permission appears in the sight. Here is a detailed manual for Strela 10: https://www.kaznu.kz/Content/ЗРК «Стрела-10»/page3.html

The rocket's photocontrast receiver receives a different spectrum of waves than standart thermal receivers. This allows you to filter out heat traps. It does not involve manually guiding a missile through an optical channel, like ATGMs do.

The whole problem of using MANPADS is the short range. This requires an advance position for shooting. Large air defense systems such as S-300 or Buk are much more effective in this sense. In addition, MANPADS are a weapon for covering troops on the front line, and all videos of the downing of Iranian kamikaze drones from the deep rear, which is covered by large air defense systems

I think everyone who has dealt with motorcycles knows that an air-cooled engine is hotter than a water-cooled engine. MANPADS shoot down Orlan-10 without any problems, which has a much more advanced and cold engine. Strela -10 does not have an optical guidance channel. It has Tunguska and SA-8 Gecko.

Such drones are easy targets for MANPADS, they are very noisy and slow. There is a video on Twitter of shooting down such a drone from a MANPADS, which means that its thermal signature allows the thermal homing head to capture. As for artillery systems with radar guidance (Gepard, Shilka), I can’t say.

Most in this forum were sure that Putin would not attack Ukraine. After all, he is a master of non-standard moves.

That is, in your opinion, is it worth waiting for an attack on a NATO country?

That's right, enough of one cartridge. That is why, if the robbery is successful, the number of robbers will grow; more recently, North Korea and Iran have joined the club of nuclear states. How about the fact that the Taliban will see in nuclear weapons the possibility of defeating the targets? I am sure if the West allows itself to be intimidated and shows weakness, the enemies will immediately use every opportunity to strike at the weak point of the West (in fear)

Yes, but it doesn't take a lot of nuclear weapons to blackmail. You need to understand that Putin's main and most effective weapon is not nuclear missiles, but the most ordinary fear. Thanks to fear, he is in power for a long time. Based on fear, he assumed the success of the invasion of Ukraine. With the help of fear, he will carry out his further expansion, if successful in Ukraine.

I remember someone on this forum said that bayonets are useless in modern combat

It seems that due to the lack of weapons, the ru are betting on hand-to-hand combat

Not certainly in that way. He gently hints at his last name and says that it would not be right for him to appear at the military registration and enlistment office and that he will resolve this issue at a different level. He also directly refused to go to fight in Ukraine.
