I know you Americans are cuckolds par excellence but sometimes an engine fire is just an engine fire. You don't have to claim every downing as yours like its your wife's black son.

I understand that this is the last ditch weapon against FVP. I wonder what kind of shot will be used? buckshot? anything smaller?

If I was using them I would use a mix of about a number 3 shot and buckshot loads, and would therefore double tap most targets I am shooting at...

Number 3 shot is small ball bearings that can shatter propeller blades and break structures made of plastic, while buckshot would rip batteries and electric motors and normal motors to pieces...

Buckshot is more destructive but with fewer projectiles might miss the target at extended ranges. Number 3 shot has a large number of pellets so you are more likely to get hits even if each hit is less devastating they can certainly do damage.

3 1/2 inch shells carry extra projectiles for a denser pattern for a better chance of a hit at any distance.

- just wonder which kind of shot is the best for drones buck shot or something smaller but with more pellets? I guess welll learn soon. Maybe GarryB can do live testing for us?

As pointed out by the American guy who runs the company that makes most of the small drones the US military uses and were sent to Ukraine... their products are 20K plus each and China and Russia are making better designs for less than $500 US dollars each... testing with US drones is just too expensive...

Different drones are different so some might be taken out with lighter pellets while others might require more hits with heavier projectiles so I would go with a mix of both types until I got experience in the field to know which gets results and which just hurts my shoulder.

I would probably go with a red dot sight and a semi auto long barrel shotgun with number 3 or number 4 shot and #4 buckshot loads alternating.

Quote from U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson: "We're going to stand for freedom and make sure that Putin doesn't march through Europe... we're the greatest Nation on the planet, and we have to act like it"

It is a con anyway... 40 billion of that money is going to disappear into the US MIC to produce weapons and ammo for Ukraine... and in the years it will take to make those weapons and ammo the Ukraine we talk about today will cease to exist and the US military will get 40 billion dollars worth of ammo to replace the old shit they sent to Kiev.

Of the remaining almost 30 billion most will go into the pockets of government officials on both sides of the relationship in this partnership with the criminals in Kiev...

The more time pass the more the USA looks like those cities in GTA games.

With the goal of achieving getting them to look like the Fallout games...

My question is how Russia can prevent or further mitigate such damages by Maidan missile attacks in the future. The damages is surely exxagerrated by the Western media for propaganda, but it is better to have no damage than minor damages.

(a honest question, no evil intention here)

My response would be... if you are fighting a peer fighter who is weaker but has a lot of support so every time you hit them they get help and support and assistance in hitting you back... if you expect to fight such an opponent and for that opponent to never lay a finger on you then you are delusional and don't understand how fist fighting works. Russia is taking its punches and minimising the effect while brutally pounding its opponent which is currently a bloody mess, yet they started the fight cocky and confident because they have the backing of a superpower and its european bitches and the G7... all the stolen colonial money on the planet with bottomless pockets and a war machine that has ravaged the world for the last few centuries... there was no way they were going to lose.

Russia had a plan and they have executed it perfectly, and of course they were helped immeasurably by the hubris of their enemy who has the greatest democracy on the planet and is still winning the propaganda war with many people in the west, but that isn't enough.

One person fighting one person is two hands and two feet they can hit you with... or they can headbutt you.

One country fighting about 40 countries means they have millions of targets and millions of options to attack and no matter what you do to defend any of those targets they can just find something you are not defending fully and attack that.

This is why civilian targets are being engaged in Russia because most of the military targets are too well defended.

It is not a case of reducing Kievs effectiveness to zero by defending everything because you can't.

It is about destroying Kiev so this problem does not repeat in 5 years time... and protect what you can with what you have.

Maybe because they are disliked universally.

Only by racist bigots. I prefer to get to know a person before I decide if I like them or not... most normal people think that way too.

Was going to suggest those being abusive towards your heritage be a bit more respectful but it appears you are just trolling, so I wont bother.

Ukraine officially is claiming that they shot it with S-200 missile somewhere over the Black Sea, according to them aircraft tried to get back to Russia but was too damaged. The same sources are claiming that S-200 was used to shot down A-50 recently.

Awwww, look its RTN's special friend and fellow post op non binary. Now look, I am not here to judge what one does under the sheets and with whom, but when did brain removal become part of the gender reassignment "therapy?"

Lmfao given how Patriot has been destroyed with ease and they cannot find a whopping 7 batteries

Seriously doubt they have any to spare in south west donetsk front where those systems get yeeted by drones and Fabs

Your cope is hilarious though

PAC 2 only has 120km range, idk how local trolls conjure up an amazing interception

How seamlessly the narrative in the NATzO west has transitioned into Putin marching on U-rope. This was not even claimed in February of 2022.
Russia needs to be ready for this herd of demented U-ropean lemmings to fling itself against it. Uncle Swineshit wants to fight Russia to the last
U-ropean and not just the last Ukr.

NATzO has been crowding its offensive assets on Russia's borders but bitches and moans about Putin marching on itself. Who needs you, Sodomite
degenerate toilets that you are. Narcissistic clowns with delusions of grandeur. Perpetually afraid of the jungle breaking into their precious garden.
Your garden smells so bad.

In metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, South Asians (Asian Indians or East Indians) are responsible for much of the local organized crime.

The biggest gold robbery in Canada's history, carried-out not long ago at the Toronto Pearson International Airport, was conducted by South Asians (eight out of nine suspects are South Asians, there was also a single Black involved); two of the suspects are "insiders."

In areas where they take over, or become a majority, they harass members of other races, but in areas where they are a minority they prolifically complain about racism. Have first hand unpleasant experience in dealing with a South Asian majority from a fish-processing plant I worked at, and also other places.

huh, well i guess history does repeats itself?.

It is funny that your examples of hatred towards Indians are the Ukraine and Israel... to of the most racist and corrupt countries on the planet.

Two of the most damaged countries on the planet.

Two countries that might not make it to the end of this decade...

Russia grinds away when the main focus shoulda been closing the western border.

I disagree... HATO and Kiev would likely be rather more effective in a guerilla type situation, and Russian troops pushing into parts of this nazi country that are openly hostile to Russia wont help Russia.

Problem is that the western elites won´t learn anything from it and start the next shit.

They know what they are doing... Russia and China are the enemy. That suits them even if it is a war they know the west can't win because the alternative is for the people of the west to realise it is the western elites that are the real problem and they might actually try to deal with them in a way that is effective and that is a consequence way worse than a war you know you will eventually lose.

Orban "West one step away from sending troops to Ukraine"

The West has gone completely crazy and wants World War III.

The funny thing is.... do it... I double dare you... the first lot of HATO troops the west think will go in there and show the stupid Ukrainians how it is done will get slaughtered, and all the other western countries will baulk at the idea that the same thing might happen to their troops.

The west loves this conflict because they can pretend they are not losing men, but all those accidents that keep happening that lead to bodies returning to western countries around the world is no joke, and I rather suspect they will be offering lots and lots of money to people in all sorts of places to go and fight against the Russians... these people will have no beef with the Russians... they just want the money... and the levels of corruption in Ukraine suggests they wont get any anyway.

Western troops dead in the Ukraine isn't WWIII, Russia wont need to use nukes to kill French or Polish or other soldiers with their own gear on Ukrainian territory... the only risk of WWIII is the western over reaction to their troops getting killed. Ukrainian troops don't matter, but their troops are sacrosanct.

I think the Russians will enjoy obliterating them whereever they find them... in fact the Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria is a good lead to follow in terms of the American embassy in Kiev... level it.

@Garry: is it advisable for Russian Vepr shotgun to adapt the bullpup design like this (sorry I am a hardcore fan of bullpup or grip-positioned magazines Embarassed )

I do like bullpup weapons too, but I don't think it is necessary for a shotgun for this purpose... a nice long barrel Vepr would do just fine.

I would say a 25 round drum magazine would not sit well on a bullpup shotgun, while on a Vepr it would be just fine.

I would say a super shotgun round for a 40mm under barrel grenade launcher might also be an idea too... something that is used at extended ranges where the round launches from the grenade launcher and detonates at about 20m and sends buckshot in larger volumes than can be fitted in a shotgun shell forward in a cone at high velocity to intercept incoming drones... or perhaps even rockets on a vehicle mounted system.

You could have a fixed array of 40mm grenade launcher tubes on the surface skin of a vehicle with the grenades pressed in from the outside. Their angle and trajectory will be fixed in relation to the orientation of the vehicle so a simple APS system could be set up to trigger such rounds when an incoming threat is detected... easy to replace, cheap to load... can be used against ground threats too.

For small land based drones it could be used offensively with normal grenades...
