Puzzle solved. This is what the Iranians are flying in and its not drones.

Iranian Sprite in Donetsk and Iranian Coca-Cola in Mariupol
That is excellent... if people have to drink shitty sugar drinks then make sure America does not get the profits from their evil.
I really cannot understand for the life of me why Russia hasn't done this. Putin just seems to be too "nice" ie deluding himself that he is going the right way.
He doesn't need to stoop to their level and Russian relations with the rest of the world will be better if he doesn't.
The fact of the matter is that the US is destroying itself... Putin just needs to let them do it.
Western media: Iran sending chemical weapons to Russia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadly WMD chemicals at that... give the Iranian name till it hits the head lines and then show the photo of them to punchline the joke.
West wants to destroy Orthodox Christianity but not the other denominations.
With the west it is our way or the highway... they want to destroy all alternatives...
If that were true why have the alleged "Poles" not defected to the Russian side?
It can be true without suggesting those Poles have changed sides... they simply don't want to be cannon fodder used in suicide charges on machine guns and artillery, they still want to kill Russians or they could have left the battlefield and tried to go home.
Just think about it, if that really happened they would have had no other choice.
Not really... they could simply say that the nazis that came to make them attack the well defended enemy positions were not very convincing and so to get us to attack they showed us how to do it and were killed trying... or some such bullshit.
Do you expect me to believe that they sit there and await some sort of fair trial?
They would have went over to the Russian side of the front-line by now.
They are mercenaries... they already know they wont be treated as prisoners of war by the other side... given the choice of life in prison or death charge on enemy positions, or staying where you are I think I understand they decision they have taken.
Probably a clever fabrication in order to make these ethnic Ukrainians from Poland look "more genuinely Polish."
Or just a fact that the Nazis when they are outnumbered, can't force large groups to commit suicide when they understand what is happening.
You do realize as mercenaries they are subject to the death penalty right?
And the British mercs had the problem that the UK government did not recognise the groups holding their ex citizens and I suspect Poland would be just as stubborn.
This is why Western Ukraine needs to be invaded and the Polish/Ukraine border shut.
He is confident because all of Americas lackeys have to feed the machine and buy American overpriced weapons... it is how they sell weapons... expansion of HATO or invasion.
Esit: and Smoothi X12 was saying they were made and designed in Russia. Not Ukraine. Or did he say they were designed in Ukraine?
Designed in Russia is a bit of a stretch... they took an Iranian shell design and probably put Russian bits into it like GLONASS navigation electronics, and probably other components Iran could not source from the west... I suspect the Russians approached the Iranians after observing them in Syria and asked to have a go and after playing with them made a deal with Iran... I rather suspect a GLONASS guided drone is better than one just using INS (Inertial navigation system), and they could probably already supply components they have to make themselves because they can't import them from the west any more...
Sounds like Russia gets a mature and capable strike drone and Iran gets a customer and money and probably a source for components for Drones and likely a lot more they are using those bits for.
Countries like Turkey forced to go to Ukraine for parts after western sanctions can probably get better parts from Russia now too.
I'm hoping they will increase the damage and range of lancet now to make it effective in hitting formations.
Drone designs are not fixed and are evolving all the time... the current Lancets are called Lancet IIIs aren't they?
And with that Russian company stating they will be making electric motors from very small to rather large the options are expanding too... I mean even fitting an electric motor with extra propellers to a drone with a small internal combustion engine could radically boost performance... a small diesel driven motor with a propeller on one end of the drive shaft and a dynamo on the other generating power that could be used directly to drive another electric motor driving another propeller to boost thrust and speed and range without adding a lot of weight or drag would be interesting, but electric motors could just be attached to fuel driven engines to generate power on a drone for running jammers or signal boosters or radar or a range of other electronics...
i hope russia passed on the anti radar tech to iran - would add a decent bit of potency for them.
It would be a good way to sweeten the deal for Iran...
Wrong. May have been before they became part of Russia but I seem to remember discussion that Russia doesn't have the death penalty.
They still don't recognise mercs as combatants so it is likely life in prison...
You say how u behave returns back to you.
Problem is, with America it hasn't.
But the rest of the world are not supporting America because they see how they behave... if Russia turns out to be just the same but with a slightly different hymn book to preach to them and tell them what to do... well I can tell you a lot of people will be disappointed.
In any case, Putin has made some cryptic suggestions that he might not be "Mr Nice Guy" forever with Uncle Scam.
He has recognised the situation and understands Russia has no future with the west in its current form... there has even been mention that Russian diplomats are not safe in some countries and serve no purpose for instance in the EU because the EU is not calling the shots so why bother talking to them just as an example?
The Dnieper and across Odessa is a long border. With many Banderite troops to fight.
That is why I wonder N Transnistria to Belarus is a far shorter distance (1/3rd or less?).
If Banderites run across to this "neck of the regime", Russia can mop up more of the S East in the meantime.
Since Russian forces withdrew from Kiev Zelensky has not be interested in any negotiations... the initial attack was made with rather less than 300K soldiers... I suspect with the addition of 300K soldiers they could capture large areas of territory if they bypass settlements and surround occupied cities and towns including Kiev, as they lose soldiers the quality is going down dramatically... I wonder how current forces would deal with being surrounded and not supplied or supported by Kiev...
but if russia liberates a further 4 oblasts, stops nato building a monster naval port in odessa, plus russia enjoying trillions in gdp in resources over the coming decades couple with neutrality then it will be worth the pain, suffering and loss.
The fact of the matter is that Russia had no choice... this conflict was happening one way or another... if they didn't start it on their terms Kiev would have started it on their terms and it would have been a lot bloodier in terms of Russian loses in that case.
Russia doesn't have death penalty correct, I wonder as a federation that a region could be granted such. Either way people do die in captivity from their war injuries
They don't consider mercs to be combatants so non combatants found armed on a battlefield... do they even take them prisoner in the first place?
But this doesn't matter... these poles are there because they hate Russians and want to kill them... they are just not ready to die in a suicide frontal charge just yet.
The enemy is heavily stretched along the front, forced to use foreign mercenaries on the main lines, which mercenaries in turn refuse to fight as infantry, causing many conflicts between them and the national battalions—in disputes over the right to hide behind the backs of untrained AFU soldiers of the 50+ age category.
So they have not had a change of heart... they just want meatshields to operate from behind when engaging the enemy...
Also 2 sets of Nasmas were delivered and are in use already - so sky over Ukraine will get more dangerous for Russian planes and missiles long term.
Slowly more advanced weapons systems will arrive, Russia can not do much about it.
They are only arriving in token amounts, because the US knows there is little they can do to really stop the Russians winning, but they would like to test their systems against the Russians, but they forget the Russians actually benefit from analysing how US and EU military equipment works and how to defeat it.
They stopped using Turkish drones because it was embarrassing the makers to see how easily large slow drones can be shot down with decent air defence systems... will be interesting for Russian experts to get a chance to learn how to defeat IRS-T and AMRAAM.
And then how amazing will HATO look...
I observe whats actually happening every day. Whats actually happening is that almost nothing is liberated since july. There is some denazification and decommuniazation though. However nazification in terms of terror and brainwashing of the russian population is going completely unimpeded in most of novorossiya, since nothing has been liberated for a long time.
Picking the correct time to strike can be critical... do you think mud only stops Ukrainian boots?
That is why there has been some dispute about returning to the death penalty in Russia just by not prolonging it.
It was one of the points valid for being an active member of the Council of Europe, and I suppose that RF gives a fuk about that.
In time of war laws can change too, and the fact that it would piss off the council of europe is just an added bonus.
Just send more drones.
They have drones looking for targets for suicide drones to kill and those drones looking for targets observe the attack and the results so they can look for themselves at real world cases and determine if they are working properly or not or if they need new warheads or warhead types or other features perhaps... drone design will not stand still.
