Poland would never accept land from Russia.
They have never refused to take land in the past, like just after WWI or just before WWII.
If they refuse then those regions will become neutral autonomous regions, which will likely sink into poverty over time which will probably effect the local treatment of ethnic Poles and Hungarians the way the Baltic states are currently abusing their Russian natives or Kiev was abusing its Russian natives...
Neither would Western Ukrainians accept being a part of Poland
They have wanted to join the EU and HATO and this would be about their only chance really.
The alternative will be autonomous region and I suspect Russia will now take joining the EU off the table... the behaviour of the EU these last two years show it is as belligerent as HATO is.
Believe that to be the point. They want to be part of NATO and the EU so bad and only way in is to become part of Poland... the whole concept designed to drive the Nazi bastards and their superior race mad!
The irony is that the last thing HATO and the EU need is more cowbell... (nazi).
What a waste of ammo ! And it landed ! Just a devilish thought came to me ( Twisted Evil ) arrange flight path , so that rounds land on some target on the ground ? Put a light on Dorito to help AAA land on the ground !
That is a core problem of small arms fire against small drones... flying low between enemy positions or enemy air defence sites could lead to them firing at each other and doing more damage with their AA fire than the drone could possibly achieve on its own....
It is a bit like apartments in Kiev getting hit during Drone and missile attacks... except the damage to the civilian targets look more like SAM missile damage than land attack cruise missile attack.
The phantom S-300s that could not reach Kiev from Russian positions and are used to defend the city from attack, yet are blamed on Russia.
The Ukrs should either be completely occupied or West of River left intact for them , with access to Sea . Either a viable state with agriculture and industry and commerce or nothing . This way is another Gaza !
I disagree... Most of the agriculture and industry is in the south and east of the country so they wont be keeping that I rather suspect because the people who live there don't like the people in the west of the country or in the west of the continent for funding their oppression and murder in this conflict.
West Ukraine is a creation of the west and all their cheerleaders are in the west so let the west support and fund them.
They will likely not choose to join the Russian Federation and even if they did I am not sure the Russian Federation would accept them without a damn good clean out.
Many of the more radical nutters will likely run to the west anyway.
Thanks for the reply man I really want to know what that was. I think you and garryb are right but there is just something about jt.the thing seems to move too fast as the view from the drone shows that the object quickly closes the distance. Also there is some bright exhaust or emitter in the back, at least from what I can gather from the pixilated image. The digital zoom obviously cannot bring a whole lot of clarity. And finally the flight just seems too robotic. It seems to be flying fairly straight, maybe at a slight decline. It then quickly dives down. Do you guys see what I mean. Anyways very strange imo. I do know of rumors that hermes is being tested on the battlefield. I dont know if hermes is top attack tho.
I downloaded the video and played it in a video player at quarter speed and it looks like it approaches from the bottom of the screen and climbs up and then dives on the target.
The drone that is filming the attack means the operator of the attack drone knows exactly where the target is without climbing to actually be able to see it from their drone.
They can fly very low to keep hidden and to protect them from small arms fire and detection by the target or enemy forces near the target or on the way to the target and then as they get right up to where the target is (which they know because the other drone is monitoring it and making sure it has not moved) and it then climbed up in the air and dived on the target... this makes it easier to hit the target and also angled the HEAT plasma beam down through the vehicle to get a better chance of hitting fuel and ammo and getting a real fire going.
you guys where discussing this footage?.
Reported as being an russkie controlled Javelin. Sure looks like one.
the footage of its flight is slightly slowed down.
Looking at that footage, at 19 seconds the vehicle actually fires a round, and then it switches to a different drone and what ever hit the target flew up into the air and dived down on the target.
It certainly could have been a Javelin, but equally most drones could do that too. The low flight path up to the target would make them hard to spot while being painted mostly white makes them easy to track on overhead drone footage...
Certainly not a Krasnopol, and could certainly be a Javelin being field tested.
Javelin would be a good special forces weapon, but not great as a general combat weapon.
It would be ideal with targets out on their own like this. As stated by the Orcs in built up areas with windows and other vehicles around the place getting them to hit what you are aiming at is not easy.
Which would mean that the attackers were max. 4km away from a Ukro artillery piece.
Russian spetsnaz are reportedly allowed to carry any weapons they want... perhaps they wanted to take a Javelin for a test drive... but probably not more than one launcher because they look rather bulky and heavy to carry around.
The ridiculous cost of the system is not important when you get them for free... which applies to the Orcs and the Russians...
US taxpayer gets shafted again...
Oooops
Funny he does not mention that F-15 has been put back into production and they are talking about continuing or reopening F-16 production and also the new replacement for 5th gen fighters... gonad or something.
Sounds like things are not perfect with the F-35.
If true, and I think it is, it was because the f-35 has extremely sophisticated passive detection capabilities and as it is stealthy it gave Ukrainians a better chance at surprise. Foolishness. These neocons are acting like wild west gunslingers, but gunslinging freaks that solute the rainbow flag. These guys need to be flushed from positions of power before they get millions killed. Amoral monsters.
If true the Russians likely already knew, they were the ones that warned Iran of American F-35s flying along the Iraq Iran border using their low frequency radar array that was about 4,000km away in Russia at the time.
