Russian special military operation in Ukraine #29

NATO is supposedly expediting sending jammers to Ukr to defeat the Iranian drones.  Any opinions on whether they may succeed at this?

sending out jammers than they are at risk of getting destroyed and studied by Russians, jammers can be targetted by anti-radiation missiles as well.

it has INS as well as satellite. In such case will be able to detect spoofing and if completely jammed can still complete the mission with slightly less accuracy.

Because it is. Deliberately.
It is "lancet". Surgical tool. Designed to hit the precise spot, and cause minimal collateral damage.

Yesterday I have watched some footage of some tranche where the Ukrs have been tore apart by the artillery.
The tranche is widely known to the artillery units. All the coordinates, corrections etc are already made long time ago. They can hit a bulls eye if needed. Yet, Ukrs are still sending the troopers inside it, after loosing already 50-80 men in that location.
They really give a fuk for own people.

That is a footage made for "digitalizing" him. They have created a de facto avatar, and nobody even is hiding that, the opposite! Soon, they will just make his "speeches" directly from a computer, a step above the green screen somewhere in Poland
He addresses "his people" in English? Really?
It is a commercial for sponsors only

Kill those, destroy that, those are not deserved, that was not deserved, they should have, they shouldn't have.
A typo I would guess.

Hey, I have one more trolling for you with nutes&voice :



That gives some impression of what are we talking about.
English subtitles are there.
It is a war of civilizations.
Which one do you represent?
It is totally yours.

Well at least some can appreciate and can at least show gratitude and say thank you!

They changed the warhead. HEAT always looks weak due to the nature of shaped charhe. But now tanks are not safe. Roof hits are very easily achievable with this drone.

Yes it would make no sense to use them against tanks if the charge is too small. They test these things extensively so it should be good.

Dare to disagree.
Tons of evidences where they (both sides) are dropping IEDs from the drones at tanks. In the best case scenario those carry 50-100g of explosives. Yet they do. Sure those can't penetrate the armor, but can kill the comm, destroy or damage the FCS cupola/elements, jamm something etc.
If something is stupid yet works, it ain't stupid, you know

Well the tanks don't seem to be going anywhere after they've been hit so either the crew didn't notice or something went wrong inside the tank?

It's life.
The outcome can be surprising.
Who would even consider a 180km/h flying drone made of plastic can kill a jet? Till yesterday?

By the way, is it only me, or Garry who opened the zoo cage or something? The number of undisplayed posts increased by a factor :afraid:

And while we were sleeping, Russkie continue their struggle with global warming, switching off the electricity in full.

In Charkov, but still counts!

Drones can have internal guidance , very cheaply , not even INS , to be effective . All they have to do is fall near the target , to force a shoot - down and wasting of AD assets . The WW2 , V1 drone was a terror weapon . But more accurate and modern versions can be used against smaller targets , say the size of a factory or military bunker or ammo dump or strong positions . Here it is the cost , that is the important factor . The more disposable and cheaper the better . NATO trying to jam drones will fail . Mobile phone , face recognition technology can be adapted to be used by drones , in a " terrain mapping " or matching mode . The drone can dive sharply after target identified and hit the target . Mobile phones are cheap . Or missile fired first , and disperse mini - laser or directional radio . Drone home in on signal or ......

Elon stops financing the Starlink operations in 404, and asked Pentagon to pay the bills from now on.

Is it only me, or the guy really went through some metamorphosis?

Well Musk dared to express an opinion that did not go down well in Zombieland

Military operation in Ukraine

Marochko announced a significant advance of the allied forces in Artemovsk

MOSCOW, 14 October. /TASS/. Allied forces have made significant progress in Artemivsk (the Ukrainian name for Bakhmut), Andrey Marochko, an officer of the People's Militia of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), said on Friday.
“Regarding Artemovsk, indeed, a lot of good news comes from there. First of all, our servicemen have now advanced quite significantly in this settlement,” he said on the air of Channel One.

The allied forces "are advancing in concerted action and liberating the village," he added.

He also said that the tactical group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, abandoned in the Artemovsk region, includes about 200 people. "Earlier, Ukrainian troops began to flee from positions in these directions because of our onslaught. They began to leave their positions without permission. But the Ukrainian command took radical measures: a company tactical group was sent to this area, about 200 people, which included foreign mercenaries and nationalist radicals from Ukraine. With such forces, they hold back the flight of their military personnel and try to hold back our onslaught," he said.

The crazy part about it, is Musk was basically stating the same talking points which are in the Minsk agreement, that Ukraine has already signed.

There are multiple angles

a) Starlink was successfully jammed, and this is a way out given that the Ukraine ambassador scolded them to **** off
b) Elon wants Russia to actually have the advantage to avoid nuclear situations; not that they would happen, but the propaganda works for some; also Elon talked to Putin in private before he put out the tweets
c) He just wants to make a good profit; after all he is a businessman, and he simply sees opportunity to receive a portion of the billions poured into Ukraine.

I think option c is the most logical one, and the introduction of Starlink terminals into Ukraine was just a good PR stunt to have the Pentagon recognize Starlink's value in combat situations. They now heavily depend on the product and basically ended up introducing a vendor-lock in situation. You want to continue? Fine but you need to pay for it now. It's a commercial strategy, brilliant.

Starlink is supposedly not operational over the Russian Federation.
That is the official statement, and the point that brought the biggest butthurt - the signal was switched off over the newly joined territories.
So de facto Mr. Musk just complied with the results of the referendums
Kindly asked fo ****#off, this is what he did, right?

* Among other things Scott said; Kirby if you send ATACMS to Ukraine Russia will attack Poland and Germany. The war is over now, only suffering remains for Ukraine. Explain this to the demented French who still writes that the Su-34 is rubbish.

Looks like it.  I would think the driver should see enough of the road to notice the mines.  

Soldiers are generally sleep deprived at the front.   This is not a minor issue, it can lead to the sort of events captured in the video.

Considering the constant forgeries on the part of Ukraine, this could be weaponized.
An empty vehicle (captured or Ukrainian) is used and driven into that area, filming everything, to show any success against the Russians.
