If they are accessing facebook/instagram/netflix and not some perverted crap Russian police won't do a thing.
Just because they don't arrest these people does not mean they ignore them... there will be a few that they keep quite detailed records on and keep under observation... and certainly the ones that try to bypass a block on using the sites will get their attention too...
If they are just watching movies then probably no file and no close attention, but those using it for other purposes they just wont stop using it for might include illegal activity that warrants a closer look.
It's a weird ban, but I understand it - it is not to punish the user, but the company, this is why I am positive that those who will want to access it - they will. I am not a fan of social media. EU also wanted to ban Facebook not long ago. There's a reason for that. Data mining, unfair advertising and etc.
Targeted advertising is the ultimate result of an unregulated industry, your accessing of information becomes a saleable commodity, that is sold and used to try to make you buy their products.
More insidious... they probably know you better than your wife or husband knows you by now... every symptom you ever looked up for yourself or a friend, any pages you went to because you were curious and the shock meant you never went back, but just going there will be in your record... syncing up accounts so it does not matter what platform or device you use it all is stored as you.
Youtube is working hard to remove this video's of Zelensky's comedy shows in the past in which he called Erdogan a 'cockroach with a moustage' and the Ottomans 'drunk bastards and rapers with a Aladdin-hat'.
Easy to be wrong, but don't blame Zelensky only because he obviously did that because he thought his audience would think it was funny.
He seems to like calling those he does not like a cockroach.
Clearly more a comedian than a diplomat or leader of a country.
They will seriously need to change tactics, fly higher and in order to do so they need to start doing more SEAD missions, take out any remaining S300.
Really wish they had a plane like c130 gunship version. In areas where there is no buks, they can giver fire to any ambushers for hours together.
Seriously?
C-130 Gunships have been lost to MANPADS and would be dogshit in this situation.... dealing with S-300s and Buks and other Soviet air defence systems is going to be an ongoing problem because they are designed to shoot down HATO aircraft and continue even after the IADS network is down.
Russia knows what it is doing in SEAD, but that is the future of HATO too if they ever come up against a capable enemy.
> Suggests Russia is here to stay; Novorossiya, at the least, will be annexed.
Would expect they will be given the choice and have a referendum on the matter.
Ideally entire Ukraine needs to be annexed by Russia.
Not at all... there are plenty of bits and people within the current borders of the Ukraine that Russia does not want or need.
If any part is left independent the West will find ways and means to create disturbance in those areas so that the unrest spills over into Russia.
Russia can protect its own borders just fine and can help new allies with that too.
That's why he maintains that it is not possible that a Jewish leader allowed Nazis to grow from strength to strength in Ukraine.
They got their positions of power before he was elected.
That is a lot of ammo, how much of it is useful because traps is another question.
Just denying it to the enemy is enough...
The Russian government needs to talk to the Chinese. Remember when Guaido tried to stage a mass revolt in Caracas, Venezuela and failed utterly? Venezuelan riot police was drilled and equipped by the Chinese.
Remember when the US and EU funded ISIS to overthrow Assad in Syria and Russia and Iran helped to stop them and so Russian soldiers went in and policed lots of areas of Syrian people while things got settled... I suspect they know what they are doing.
Are modern IR seekers able to determine the angle subtended by the targets heat signature, and assuming a length typical of a helicopter, approximate the distance accordingly?
Igla missiles were lead missiles rather than tail chasers... in flight they would lead the aim point to hit the body of the aircraft instead of the tailpipes like the earlier Strela missiles.
According to him, this is direct evidence that the alliance was helping nationalists in Ukraine.
Pushilin said the Ukrainian military was planning to attack Crimea and Donbass on 8 March 2022.
Excellent... so this is not an invasion by Putin... this is pre-emptive self defence...
According to some sources this is the downed Il-76, in reality a russian E95M target drone, used to trigger AD systems.
Wow, they are using target drones... used to simulate aircraft for air defence practise... but they are not practising so why would they be using drones... other than trying to lure enemy air defence to reveal their positions so they can engage them... maybe they are doing SEAD missions after all...
(Not directed at you Hole, but to other experts here...)
The Russian Federation should not forget Turkey's stance in this conflict after the war is over.
Russia should recognise that Turkey is being more of a friend than some of their friends are...
More cooperation in Syria would be useful for both sides... ISIS and PKK is more of an enemy to Turkey and Assad than you are to each other.
The kurds are not going anywhere but words are better than bombs and bullets... ISIS can just **** off, Turkey should not think it is OK to use them to get a better deal... there is no honour in supporting this scum even if they were useful at the time.
Russia does not sell allies like the USA.
It is not about buying and selling allies... it is about looking at what everyone is doing and why, and talking and convincing them to do the right thing.
The US will cooperate with the most evil people on the planet if they think it will suit their purposes... which makes them just as evil.
Some might say Russia is just as bad for working with Assad and Iran, but stability and rule of law is more important than the chaos the US was trying to bring to the region with ISIS and the Kurds.
ISIS are obviously bad, and there are Kurds that think bombing people is OK to get what they want so they are clearly bad too, but not all Kurds are nutters... they feel helpless and ignored... and this is very off topic for this thread, which grows quickly enough.
Well that's clearly bullshit as the Ukrainians do seem to have a lot of Buks, Shilkas, Strela-10s, Tunguskas moving around and in cover, and ruining the RuAF's day
No it is not... S-300s and major radars and Comms centres can all be taken out because of their size and enormous signature in terms of EM traffic around them, but individual BUK vehicles and other air defence vehicles can operate on their own of course and will continue to be a threat, but they are a much more limited threat than they would be with a fully working IADS.
It will now be a case of using drones to find specific targets.... nazi units, ambush groups, stray air defence vehicles... as well as drones to lure those air defence vehicles into revealing their position and also having drones and platforms able to engage them immediately to take them out.
They might be in communication, which means cell traffic might allow them to be located and dealt with, or they might be off the grid which makes them less effective.
It will be hard to deal with the mobile Ukrainian air defense systems because they don't need to keep their radar on. Just turn it on, track a target, and fire. And they can get advanced warning of when to do this from NATO who work with their own radar coverage and can see all the Russian stuff in the air and where its going.
Communication from HATO would be a useful way to track them down and kill them.
They will need alot of manpower if Poland attacks their forces in Ukraine.
They likely have plenty of key targets in Poland they would like an excuse to destroy... wont be a ground forces war I suspect.
Those eniks e95 drones very interesting, I guess that's what silenced Ukrainian S300s
Very very cheap and simple and made in enormous numbers... they had a turbo jet powered one, but that one with the large metal engine tube on the top is a pulse jet like the Buzz bomb from WWII.
Manpads also played a role in some of these ambushes
What tactics would someone suggest against these hidden types? Which only activate in optical mode?
What kind of tool would help to either suppress the missiles/systems themselves which are being aimed optically?
Drones and jammers and keep hunting them with everything you have... and of course try to spot supply lines bringing up missiles to destroy too.
Israelis destroyed Kubs and Kvadrat only with extensive HUMINT and knowing the presence of such systems before hand
In real war, it's harder to localize those systems
BUKs and other later systems were developed because the previous gen systems were too easy to take down.
With KUB fly a drone and get it to turn on its radar and hit the single radar vehicle for the battery with an ARM and then go in and bomb the TELs with bombs because they can't shoot at you any more.
But what suggestions do you have? How does one suppress optical channels?
You can't.
What you do is fly around them to get them to launch and then hit them when they reveal themselves.
Obviously fly around them with drones looking for them and ambush parties carrying lots of tubes...
In optical guidance, I have heard that missiles change to a regime of direct intercept rather than lead intercept
Not as far as I know... when shooting ducks you generally use an optical system and with experience you learn to calculate lead of a crossing target... it is not hard.
Just fly to a point ahead of the target in the direction it is moving so that the target stops moving in your field of view... it will get closer and closer till you impact.
Do these look like a pair of fully armed QRA aircraft? Dumb bombs on the Su-34?
Against some area targets lots of smaller bombs are better than a single big bomb... things like troops in the field for instance where lots of medium sized booms are more effective than a single concentrated boom.
Also against a long convoy of targets a string of smaller booms is better than one big boom...
The avionics on the Su-34 should make them close enough to target to be more effective than dumb bombs normally are.
Guys how can su34 protect from optical guided tor and buk?
Why arent they using towed decoy?
I heard in optical mode , missiles intercept directly rather then leading the plane
In this case towed decoy would be useful no?
They will know BUK inside out and know what to do...
Well the nukes thing Zelensky brought up at the Munich security conference, where he received a cold answer from the Germans. That was only a few days before the invasion.
The Russians were already aware of his attempts to get permission for nukes and wasn't it reported that the US had agreed to help him with that...
The biolabs - they were only brought up a few days ago. Maybe they do exist. But I doubt it's for creating bioweapons against Russians. Something like that will just spread to the rest of the world.
They already have biolabs in lots of countries already... the biolabs in Georgia were discussed in 2008 during the Georgian attack on South Ossetia...
They exist.
And they were totally useless for the US against Covid so they are clearly not working on a defence.
Probably just some biological and viral research the US army is doing overseas because it's too risky to do it on its own territory.
The lab the US funded in China is believed to be the source of Covid...
It's just some Iraq WMDs type allegation. I don't take it seriously
Then you are a moron... Saddam was no where near making nukes, but Ukraine has people that have already built nukes... for the Soviet Union... they know exactly what they are doing and just need suitable materials...
Dunno. I think it's Putin himself that managed to back Russia into a corner.
He was being pushed into a corner... why don't you recognise the west are a bunch of
and this war was going to happen one way or another... you claim to care about Russian casualties... well some full scale attack by the Orcs into the separatist regions... how much overspill might there have been and what if they turned around and tried to invade the Crimea... and started things off with a 5 hour rocket artillery barrage... how many Russian lives would that have saved letting them do that?
Still Putin's fault, even then.
He turned your country from a joke to what it is now, your lack of respect suggests you are Ukrainian or Jewish... you might want to get that looked at.
I would have waited for the Ukraine to try something, at the end of the day. And simply come up with a counter for it, then launched a counter-offensive. This is important. The war will be harder, but it will have more legitimacy.
And I can understand that, but legitimacy from Whom?
How many of these Russian soldiers you claim to care so much about would be lost in the initial Orc invasion of the Crimea?
The Soviet Union was not in a great situation when the Germans attacked them, but how much better would it have been if they had attacked German forces first.
Considering their behaviour during their time on Soviet territory I don't think many at the time would think less of the Soviets for starting things off, but then hindsight is 20/20.
You are so eager to please the west you are willing to let them dismember you so you don't look like the bad guy.
And to be fair for quite a few years that was Putins mistake too, but now he gets it... wonder how long it will be before you grow up.
All this reasoning disappears when you realize that Russia has invaded a 35-40 mil population country.
Do you realize how much craziness, ruined lives, refugees this is creating?
Rather less than waiting for that 35-40 mil population country to attack you first and do you serious initial damage before you could respond...
And then basically do what you are doing now.
And to what lengths do you have to screw up everything, for something like this to be the only option?
Zelensky and Poroshenko refused to follow their obligations under the Minsk agreement they screwed up, and now the Ukraine and Russia are paying for their fuckups.
And make no mistake, this can all escalate to the lengths where you might as well be questioning the legitimacy of Austria-Hungary's ultimatum to Serbia during the July Crisis. No-one remembers that shit anymore, or whose fault was what. But everyone does still know about WW1. And WW2 which followed on 20 years later from it.
Who gives a **** about how this will be remembered... it wont be the west, so it might be honest.
But I doubt anyone on this forum will survive to see it.
To avoid very young recruits, Russia must employ Syrian soldiers (well equipped), who are also grateful to Russia. The Syrians are well experienced and loyal.
Any escalation would be to add HATO, in which case soldiers no longer become relevant... long range missiles of all types then become key.
