Russian special military operation in Ukraine #47

Werewolf wrote:Checked the last 3 days some social media feeds and not sure if that is just the algorithm that is pushing it or controlled algorithm trying to push it, but I see more and more videos about pro-ukros talking out against the forced mobilization and the dualism of their society. One video of guy doing his Shashlik beating two mobilizer and the comments are almost all in "ukrainian" against the mobilizers. Multiple videos like that, then other videos of Odessits speaking out against provocative questions why they don't speak ukrainian, the comments again in both russian and ukrainian mostly addressing the hypocrisy of the provocateurs. One Odessit is playing chess and is asked in "ukrainian" he replies that she shall ask in Russian because he does not understand her , was funny a bit. Of course there was one ukrainian clown speaking in fluent russian says I don't speak russian I speak Odessian and follows explaining it's actually an ukrainian dialect. I have to cringe at stuff like that.

This if course does not give us much but apparently the grey area of people being pro of neither side is maybe bigger than I thought. There is obviously always some people that are indifferent to what flag will be placed, but the percentage is unclear.

At one point the opposition in the east of the country was rhetorting that the Russian language was just a dialect of the Ukrainian one so that it's fine to speak in it and write in it. Or the Maidan regime claimed Russian as a dialect of Ukrainian. Something like that

And the reason? Because they should go to the front according to zelensky - it's not fair for the guys dying at the battle zone

But then this leads to one conclusion- if majority of people at such clubs are indeed women

Then does he mean to draft women , now that male population has dropped so low?

The Russian military-industrial complex [NPO "Elektromashina"] presented a promising automated module 53C16U which is specialized for combating bpl
It has a radar¹ and optoelectronic station for fire detection and guidance.  Armament consists of a 7.62mm rotary machine gun and 4 launchers with interceptor drones² equipped with fragmentation warheads.  It also has an electronic jamming system.
¹ The radar is capable of detecting miniature drones at distances of 2+km
² Interceptor drones are guided to the target by two channels: automatically via the optoelectronic station or via virtual glasses as with FVP kamikaze drones.
This is an idle module.  The operator can operate it from a safe and comfortable position.  The automated system can network up to 16 of these modules.

They would, anyone's would, but we're not in that situation to get angered by it, not for now anyway.

Even if we do get mass mobilization, I doubt the Russian leadership will use Russian lives as callously as the Ukraine has thrown away theirs for daring stunts in the pursuit of PR points, to protect the repution of NATO wunderwaffen, stand their ground to the very Ukrainian long after it has become tactically inexpedient, and launch offensives that would supposedly panic and break the Russian lines but don't accomplish any such thing.
