    It doesn't even have a thermal signature. It's a nightmare for AD.

    * 17:55 🇮🇷🇷🇺 Iranian sources report that Russia has ordered new Arash-2 UAVs from Iran. The warhead of the new drone is much larger than that of the Geran.

    * 18:03 🇧🇾🇷🇺 Gomel, Republic of Belarus.

    Local TG channels report that troops are beginning to arrive in the city en masse, incl the Russian grouping of forces.

    it would seem that the upcoming events before the end of the month are already obvious, I note that this is not the whole surprise. A little later I will publish information on the "second act".

    Of course it has a thermal signature, it has an internal combustion engine that runs quite hot (you wouldn't want to touch the cylinder heads while it's running).

    But, it's small and not easily reliably targeted at a distance by everyday legacy systems. Perhaps they even do a terminal unpowered glide flight, so the little IR signature shrinks even more.

    There are for sure IR missiles that can effectively lock onto them with super sensitive and accurate IR imaging seekers, but they cost at least $500,000 a piece, while a Dorito costs like what, 15 grand.

    Only TORM2 can help here. Everything else, including Panzir, has a hard time, this Shahed 136 cannot get down reliably. It's a game changer. Iran developed it specifically.

    NATO will prepare this really headache. A further 10 years ago we the NATO no systems have counteracted here. Especially not in the front area and number.

    It's a shame that Moscow had waited so long to ask Iran for drones. But at least it moved and looked for help and accepted. It should strengthen the axis of Russia and Iran.

    The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to conduct a special military operation.

    No offensive actions were conducted by the enemy in the Kupyansk direction.◽ ️Russian artillery was engaged in defeating AFU firing positions on the far approaches to prevent attacks on Russian positions.

    Up to 50 Ukrainian servicemen, two tanks, five armored combat vehicles, three vehicles, as well as a field ammunition depot were destroyed by artillery fire near the village of Berestove, Kharkiv region.

    The crossing of a company tactical group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine across the Oskol River was disrupted near the village of Dvurechnoye, Kharkiv region. As a result of the strike of army aviation and artillery, more than 30 Ukrainian servicemen, four armored vehicles and two pickup trucks were destroyed.

    In the Krasnolimansk direction , the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to conduct combat reconnaissance in the areas of the settlements of Sergeyevka and Makeyevka of the Luhansk People's Republic, Novosadovoye and Torskoye of the Donetsk People's Republic.

    As a result of the fire damage, the AFU units were pushed back to their original positions. Up to 60 Ukrainian servicemen, two infantry fighting vehicles and seven pickup trucks were destroyed.

    On the night of October 13-14, Russian troops disrupted the preparation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for a river landing operation in the area of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in the Zaporizhia direction.

    According to updated data, as a result of strikes by Russian army aviation, rocket troops and artillery on the landing formation area in the bay of the Kakhovsky reservoir near the village of Osokorovka in the Kherson region, more than 50 Ukrainian servicemen, five speedboats, two barges, five tanks and four infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed.

    As a result of a high-precision strike by the Russian Aerospace Forces on the temporary location of the second battalion of the 65th mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the city of Zaporozhye, more than 160 Ukrainian servicemen were killed in three barracks.

    In the Mykolaiv-Kryvyi Rih direction, the enemy made unsuccessful attempts to advance in the areas of the settlements of Dudchany, Sadok and Ishchenko in the Kherson region. As a result of the active actions of the Russian troops, all attacks were repelled.

    About 120 Ukrainian servicemen, 17 armored combat vehicles and eight vehicles were destroyed. In addition, Russian artillery destroyed five crossings of the Ingulets River that were directed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

    Don't underestimate Pantsyr, that system is evolving..
    Ever since Syria, the Tor-M2 has been preferred over the Pantsyr-S1. At the time of the first Pantsyr systems, drones did not have the capabilities they have today
    However, the Pantsyr-SM would have no problem shooting down this unmanned kamikaze. Poison creates an antidote..

    and more news..

    * 18:30 🇷🇺🇺🇦 At the end of the day, the enemy did not manage to break through the defenses in the direction of Dudchany - Mylovoe.
    The enemy got into a fire bag, approximately two battalions with tank support were dispersed with the active work of artillery and aviation.
    About 15 tanks and 20 other AFVs were destroyed, the loss of personnel is being specified.
    Excellent well-coordinated work of the infantry, artillery and units of the Special Forces of the Russian Federation

    They are being steadily decimated for no gain.
    There is something behind the statement, that Russkie cornered them to the position where there is no good solution.

    Any single NATO army would have been decimated by those things, without much chance to retaliate.
    Both the quality and the numbers of AD assets they have at disposal is pathetic.
    France - objectively the biggest EU nuclear power - just provided Ukrs with ... 12 pcs of ancient Crotale.
    Holly fuk, there are more equivalent Osa rusting around half of Ukro junkyards Shocked
    But that is still one of the best systems to assist troops on the move NATO has.
    Unbelievable.

    Yup! Propaganda for the rescue!

    See meeting in May. Only there was the contract for this signed. If the drones had been asked earlier, we would have seen them and heard them in March. Other Iranian drones were only on site from June.

    Panzir already had bad -ups in Syria. Delia drones of the IDF etc. possible that it develops but TorM2 has 20 million US Dollar extra costs not without reason. The radar is simply better and the rockets too.

    No we would not.
    Signing a contract is the last stage that follows an intense testing&acceptance trials.
    Russkie tested & studied those things for years I suppose, in Syria.
    And tested them there either.
    You have the first footage of Iranian aircraft carrying the systems and its infrastructure back in ... June?
    We need to check those Iranian cargo planes, where they have started a massive arrivals to Moscow, but I guess it was already in Spring.
    Bro, a test for fielding a pistol takes years.
    Yet you really believe they have introduced a whole line of totally new drones - as 136s are not the only ones, they accepted some others either - in a few months?
    Nope. They are talking that for years, and testing intensively in Syria for a long time.

    The main killer of Bayraktar TB2 has been Pantsir

    Consider TB2 the best drone they have in inventory

    Anywhere Pantsir was, TB2 was downed

    The engagement altitude of missile makes it suitable to engage those drones

    If Ukraine had Pantsir, maybe they would have a chance against Geran - 2

    No Russian air defense system performed as badly as the best American air defense system MIM-104. Should I write that the Soviet/Russian systems have waged war against the entire NATO arsenal in unequal battles during the past decades ?
    Only the Rafale might change the rules of the game and with it France would have lasted 43 days against Germany - a day longer than in the Second World War... unshaven

    The RAF and French launched storm shadow and scalpel at Al-Shayrat

    Kvadrat and Kub ate those up

    Something tells me Rafale would have it's reputation as "omnirole" seriously compromised if it took any mission over that airspace

    Not to mention S400 would have killed rafale as it did to Su27 from 150km range in Belarus over Kiev

    Russians don't show their capabilities

    But western fanboys rely on virtual jamming and other such bullshit instead of sending their equipment into a real war

    C-RAMs would be the best NATO weapon to counteract such drones. Don't think there's a chance they would pass them over to Ukraine.

    Pantsir is the reason we don't see Bayraktar TB2 flights anymore

    Probably 100 Tb2 were destroyed by Pantsir alone

    Anyway, without Rotax engines it will be hard to produce anymore tb 2

    Got some good hits early in war against unimportant targets, but IADS of pantsir and Buk were too much for those systems

    Including Tochka U, Bayraktar, HIMARS , Smerch , Uragan, and other such systems

    What Russians need is an IED detector to stop car and truck bombings, because those did much more than what a HIMARS could not

    What I thought 1.5 months ago, but didn't want to write publicly, is that Russia will continue to deplete Ukrainian numbers by encouraging them to go on the offensive.
    But not only that - that then once their new NATO trained forces and mercs are expended, Russia will advance on Kiev again which will force the Ukrainians to decide whether to urgently send what men they have ready to defend it, or keep manning the defensive lines in the Donbass, Kharkov and Kherson regions.
    They won't be able to manage both, and either Kiev will fall or the way will be open for a painless advance from the south all along the line for Russia
    This time the forces in the North won´t be a feint or part of a political gamble or whatever. They will be real.

    If the Bandera regime takes forces from the South and South-East the four new russian regions there will be liberated completely + Nikolaev, Odessa and Dnjepropetrovsk. If the regime keeps the troops there it will loose some northern regions + the North-East (Kharkov, Sumi and Chernishev).

    My bet: the regime will act as before and send some forces from the South to the North. With this half-measure the whole liberation campaign in the South will take a few days longer but in the end the regime will loose at both ends of 404.

    They were real the last time as well

    Or was it a mirrage

    The best bluff is always the one you're prepared to carry out. No doubt Russia anticipated the last time that it advanced on Kiev, that the regime will divert all its defenses to there. That was probably part of the plan. And the main objective was I think a political gamble more than anything else anyway.

    But to get the Ukrainian leadership to divert forces to the capital you have to actually present a credible threat, that would be able to surround and take the city if left unchallenged.

    Here again, if Russia advances on Kiev it will present a credible threat. And leave it to the decision of the Ukrainian and NATO command whether to shore up the city's defense at the expense of all their defensive lines along the southern front - or not. It's like that old move in chess of advancing a knight so as to either take the king or the rook next turn. Or queen or rook in this case perhaps, as the regime on NATO life-support can survive the fall of its capital.

    I guess it was bud scratch
    There are more and more indications for that.
    Yeah, sure, they could have occupy & stabilize the Kiev once the regime felt down, but you can't get such a huge metropoly with the army group they had there back there.
    It is impossible.
    I have been to Kiev, remember how it looks like.
    It is a bloody 100 km of continuous infrastructure.
    The Soviet one.
    Divided by the lakes, rivers, Dnepr bays ...
    No bloody way to contest that without erasing from the map with 50k soldiers - and that is what they had there back then.

    Being a Jew amounts to nothing unless he is White. Jews of colour get a raw deal in both Israel & US.

    This week a Jewish boy from India was dragged out of a synagogue in Israel by white Jews and physically assaulted.

    Thats a "natural" reaction from a people whose belief system tells them that they are the only true humans, created by a divine being to rule the world, while the rest of us are all "goyim" or animal spirits in human form, created to serve the jewish people (as it is unbecoming for Gods chosen to be served by animals).  Believers insist that to be a jew you need to be born of a jewish woman.  A jew cannot be born from the unclean body of a female goy (ie an animal).

    Jews treat the captive Palestinian population with umost disdain for this reason.  They are animals. They have been defeated. Now they must meekly serve their Masters.

    The mega-wealthy jewish elites in the US and Europe believe the same of us. They dominate the current Whitehouse, the entire US polity (both sides), finance, media, entertainment etc etc. They are the heart and soul of the neocon faction, and increasingly of the neolibs and woke progressives.  Look at the behaviour of the jewish controlled and dominated MSM, and how they are universally hostile to whites in general and any who refuse to buy into woke orthodoxies. So many examples abound of jewish antipathy towards the gentile majority, I won't even bother to say more.

    Not all jews are fundamentalists or orthodox crazies, but most buy into the sense of superiority and manifest destiny, even if they will never openly admit it.  I'll freely admit to despising these people, but its not about their race but about their vile and exclusive CULTURE.  People who recognise the perfidious nature of jewish culture for what it is can be accused of "anti-semitism" or smeared as a "nazi", but the reality of these people and their deeply corrosive influence on Western societies cannot be ignored or downplayed.

    Know whats going on....


    In this forum, many do not understand the Jewish problem because they are dealing with the sensitive issue of Nazism.
    The pathetic Nazi supremacism and its war against the Russian peoples is criticizable. Hitler never stopped thinking like a late 19th century German.
    But another thing is the war against Judaism and its global networks of domination.
    Hitler understood late that to confront Judaism an alliance of peoples is needed. In solitude it is not possible.
    Nazism was right about the Jewish problem and not only the Nazis, the anti-Bolshevik Russians as well.

    If we want a world in peace, we must destroy the cancer that dominates the West in the shadows, the Jew.

    Someone please ban this vile Fascist cretin permanently.
    He thinks he;'s clever trying to wriggle around. Much like some Islamists in Britain who were FINALLY jailed for terrorism after a few years.

    The poster has already had one ban in the past week alone.
    Letting the individual come back has only increased his resolute to troll and promote filth.

    None of this is relevant to the Ukraine war. Its flagrant promotion of utter filth.
    This war was caused by Fascism. We don't want such filth being promoted here.

    Its getting to the stage where if the very worst of the lowlives aren't removed, then the decent people will just leave.

    This isn't "fair opinion" its pure gutter extremism, trolling each and every page of this thread and every thread like it.
    Surely enough is enough!
