The_Capt Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 15 minutes ago, Haiduk said: So, looks like we have new problem - Iranian drones. Probably they already arrived in enough number (according to Fligt Radar at least three Iranian cargo jets were delivering something to Russia) and crews completed own training. If recently Russian used Shahed-136 episodically, that in last several days we can see "pair waves" attacks not only on vehicles on frontline, but on cities. Ochakiv port for three days was attacked by dozen drones. Some port infrastructure and port tug were damaged, some drones were shot down. Yesterday attack on Mykolaiv was repelled by Buk, which shot down 4 Shaheds with 2 missiles (looks like hit zone of missile is enough to destroy a pair) Today Russians attacked Odesa port - administrative building was hit, 1 civilian was killed, gas station was also hit (strange choice for targeting). One drone of four was shot down Odesa strikes (pay attantion on noise of Shahed) Gas station hit with Shahed in Odesa Shahed was shot down with a missile over Dnipro Also UKR AD shod down over the sea Iranian UCAV Mohajer-6, wich belongs to the same class like Turkish Bayraktar and Russian Orion. The drone fell in the sea in good conditions and was towed by the boat to the coast. It's will be intersting which countries parts inside this drone How it looks Mohajer-6 Ok, well we knew these were coming. First concern is whether the can be integrated into a larger C4ISR architecture. Likely first sign of this happening will be a focus on a single type of target, like UA comms or some such, that creates operational effect. If they keep being used as terror weapons or tactically then it ain’t great but Russia is still not anywhere near C4ISR parity. Next thing will be to see if any new weird c-UAV stuff starts popping up. I am sure people are on it and now is the time to field em. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can safely assume that on the attractiveness scale your wife is a 10 and you are a 3, more or less. So you have to make up the difference through good behavior, or else one day she'll wise up and leave you for the first 5 or 6 that comes along. I make up the difference via doing dishes, getting her latte on weekend morning, etc. Must keep them distracted like this or they will catch on that we are not worthy. If she sees a pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen she might start to notice other things that are not in your favor.

You can clearly tell evil tyrant putin forced these poor people to support the brutal murders of Ukrainians. Only putin is evil, russians are of course good and shouldn't be held collectively responsible because "racism". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 2 hours ago, Haiduk said: No. His attempt to represent even not agreement, but just draft of agremment in Stambul in March caused VERY angry reaction in society. And this was just one month of war. Russian troops stood near Kyiv, there was no HIMARSes, HARMs and many other toys, all was too uncetain, but the will of nation was clear - no any "freezing of Crimea question for 15 years". Our victory condition - borders of 2014. People's opinions can change, especially when the basic circumstances have shifted significantly. It really depends on the specifics of what is being proposed. 2 hours ago, Haiduk said: Now all - Zelenskiy, Reznikov. Daniliov - they consider after Russian will get several heavy punches and UKR turned back on the Feb 24 borders, then Russian will be forced to negotiations to return Donbas and Crimea in diplomacy way. But if no, they all ready to do it by military force. This is the hope of Russian collapse solving the risk problem. This is what I consider the best case. Military force is fine with me if Ukraine wishes to accept the responsibility of casualties and a potential insurgency and/or a tactical nuke. 2 hours ago, Haiduk said: Zaluzhnyi in one of interviews several months ago told AFU have objectives - to the end of the year to enter in Northern Cremea. Of course this plans assumed more fast western heavy weapon arriving in big number, but this is not happened in proper quantity. But here is just a fact, UKR will not hasitate to cross "red lines" or not. If that's what they want to do, I support it. But I think it would be smart for Ukraine to assess other options before making that decision. That is all I am saying. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be foreign aid. you don't make much money by giving free samples. The payoff for the US Lend Lease were the post war contracts. This is not WW2 when the USSR and the US produced 100000 tanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
