Russian drones should just operate with Russian military GLONASS signals. And GPS should just be jammed to death.

I assume that many drones use Chinese chipsets that are only GPS.

Western intel does not have a good record of predicting things... has anything changed recently that might improve their performance?

Have they had a purge of morons?

The case with Crimea is, that it shouldn't have been a part of Ukraine since 1991.

I totally agree, and it seems the people of the Crimea think that which is vastly more important than any view I might hold on the subject.

The only people upset are those in Kiev and the west and they way they have murdered people these last 10 years (10 years for Kiev... 300 years for the west) who cares what they think.

Ugggh Ramzan. There's a high probability that the US will agree to some deal and then put the sanctions back on the next day. This will not work and isn't worth trying. Change their names. Get fake passports for them. What sanctions are a problem anyway ? Use bitcoin

He has already admitted he was trolling and he knows the Americans can't be trusted... just like when Sweden enters HATO they will reverse all the things they had to do for Turkey to get their support...

Intel about russian numbers and positions is quite low since the begining. No one really has a good view of it.

It is more valuable for Russia to remain quiet on such things because offensives actually work better if they are a surprise.

If NATzO's masters in Washington supply long range missiles to Kiev, then Russia needs to supply Iran with some nice missile systems
to react to attacking US carrier groups.

Supplying long range missiles just justifies Russia hammering all goods being transported into the Ukraine from the EU, because the best way to defeat any missile is to hit it on the ground before it has been launched.

Taking out trucks and train engines would be part of this to reduce transport of weapons and ammo to Kievs forces.
