No, you got it wrong. It's the coke processing plant that Zelensky rubs his face in.

The contortions over the drone production are absurd.

There is something called mass production with pipelined assembly lines.    Products such as cars are not made by hand one at a time.

The drone assembly line stages are unknown to anyone here.   Two 8 hour shifts gives about 4 units per hour.   So they need 4 starts
per hour.   The depth of the pipeline then accounts for the complexity.   An output of 4 units per hour is achieved after several days depending
on the details.  

The shell is an easy component.   The motor and the control system is more complex but can be mass produced as well on different assembly
lines in other factories.  

It was already mentioned that car production can have very large daily output.   Cars are not less complex than these drones to manufacture.
The control system is complex but the argument then becomes what limits there are on ICs and other electronic components.   Russia can manufacture
volumes of custom ASICs way beyond the needs of all the drones and missiles it is producing with existing 200 mm wafer production lines.

Tests of upgraded high-accuracy missile to continue — Medvedev
The politician pointed out that the new missile had been developed specifically for use in the special military operation zone
MOSCOW, September 29. /TASS/. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has said that the tests of a new upgraded high-accuracy missile, the launch of which he has just watched at the Kapustin Yar test site, will be continued.

"You and I were present at the test launch of a new upgraded high-accuracy missile. Its testing will continue," Medvedev said at a meeting. Video footage from the event was uploaded to his page on the VKontakte social media.

Medvedev pointed out that the new missile had been developed specifically for use in the special military operation zone.

"Such characteristics as the range and accuracy have been significantly improved. The warhead has also been enhanced," he said.

Medvedev said that as a result of the current launch, important experience had been gained and "a rebuff was given to the enemy, which has literally packed Ukraine to capacity with the newest types of weapons and keeps doing so."

You never know what these guys are up to. They are all trying to avoid getting regime changed. Perhaps he is saying it for public consumption. after all don't they export all their oil through Russia? So if they were following all sanctions then they could not export oil Also all their military gear is Russian no?

Most VVS losses in Georgia were to FF, too.

Hmmm. That wreckage looks a lot like the one previously shown from ground level. Sure, FF is quite likely, but claims need to be
verified.

Kazakhstan should be left alone to its insecure nationalism as long as it does not start whoring for NATzO. Then it's gloves off.
You can maintain your precious independence, but you don't get to act as an agent of aggression for a hostile and mad military
alliance.

In the period from September 24 to September 29, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out nine group strikes with high-precision long-range weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles.

You can maintain your precious independence, but you don't get to act as an agent of aggression for a hostile and mad military
alliance.

After the liberation of Ukraine and its incorporation back into Russia, there needs to be a plan to take back Kazakhstan. Most of the territories encompassing Kazakhstan are Russian, but thanks to incompetent decisions in the past by the soviet leadership, a large chunk of Russian territory is handed over to nomadic Kazakhs, IMO, Kazakhstan should have been treated like the Sakha Republic, an autonomous entity but within Russia. A good contingency plan in the event that the Kazakh leadership has been infiltrated by NATzO lapdogs would be to bait it to attack Russia. This will give Russia reason to take back the entire country. Ukraine would be a good testing ground to formulate an effective method of Russification and Orthodoxination. In a liberated Kazakhstan, changing its population's religion to Russian orthodoxy is of extreme importance, this will deny Islamist PIGS from recruiting in the local population. If a person refuse to convert to ROC, castrate them so they may not spread their filth or simply expel them to Europe and let NATO deal with its Islamic Terrorist population

I've read that Stalin wanted to join the rest of the south Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan) to the Russian SSR but was opposed by some elements within the communist party.

 

OK, freeze frame the start. What is the target? It looks like an sloping entrance to some kind of bunker complex?

It looks like the bomb may have landed a few meters too far to the right.

This is the result of bridge repairs in Kiev. Who needs the RuAF

There will be more new regions within Russia - Medvedev

He also stated that the SMO will continue until the Kiev regime is completely destroyed.

First Volodin , followed by Lavrov now Medvedev is saying it.
Clear indication that Kremlin made a final decision.

Every day several new units of former Wagner fighters come back to the front.

The number of returned fighters is now well into the thousands.

Some are still in rear camps, but some units have already been moved to the front to carry out offensive operations.

A former Wager contingent is also forming in the rear areas of the southern front.

Bridge number 5 (the first is a repeat). Clearly the Russians have decided that no escape by road is allowed.

Commander-in-Chief of the Land Forces Oleg Salyukov said on the pages of "Red Star" that new "Telnik" shells were used in T-90M tanks.

Tank fragmentation-beam shell 3OF82 "Telnik" is an ammunition with ready-made striking elements, which is able to explode at the necessary point when flying to the target, while you can choose the direction of flight of the GGE - forward with a cone or a circular field.

Such shells allow you to very effectively hit infantry entrenched or in the fields, which is extremely problematic to get by a direct hit of a "classic" tank shell.

Similar ammunition with remote detonation has long been necessary for our IFVs and ZRPC in 30 mm calibers, both for similar tasks of defeating sheltered and sheltered infantry, and for a more effective fight against UAVs.

MOSCOW, September 28. /TASS/. More than 1.1 thousand units of equipment were purchased for Chechen fighters who are in the zone of a special military operation (SVO). The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced this at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

“Absolutely all their issues are being resolved; to date we have purchased more than 1,100 vehicles, including over 100 armored ones,” Kadyrov noted.

He also said that since the beginning of the Northern Military District, five regiments and three battalions have been created in the Chechen Republic. “This is our common cause, we must win together. All our people support you,” Kadyrov added.

GROZNY, September 27. /TASS/. The number of volunteers who were trained at the Russian University of Special Forces in Chechnya and went to the zone of the special military operation exceeded 14 thousand people. Assistant to the head of the region and head of the RUS Baybetar Vaikhanov reported this to TASS.

“Since the beginning of the special military operation, we have trained and sent more than 14 thousand volunteers to the combat zone. They come to the Russian University of Special Forces from all over the country. Their training lasts for 14 days, during which time they undergo information-ideological, tactical, fire , engineering, technical, topographical and medical training,” noted the TASS interlocutor.

According to him, university instructors, in addition to volunteers, train law enforcement officers of Russia and some friendly countries.

“We also constantly educate, train and spend active holidays with tourists and athletes; for this purpose, the tourist infrastructure is regularly improved, new programs are developed. Instructors provide shooting, parachute and wind tunnel training for guests. They teach sporting, sniping, assault mountaineering and first aid. help,” said Vaikhanov, adding that RUS also teaches how to operate unmanned aerial vehicles.

The university covers areas such as fire, special tactical, airborne, mountain training, as well as training for bodyguards and military journalists. Almost all of these areas of the center are available to tourists and residents of Chechnya.

I remember before they were training a huge amount of volunteers all over Russia and some foreign for the SMO. What is the current status of that?
