Russia vs. Ukraine Part 3

[Leadeye]

The front is teetering on the edge of collapse but they have MLRS ammo to throw away on terror bombing random drivers?

Using precision weapons as terror bombing. Reminds me of german motivation for the use of V weapons in WW2.

Curtis LeMay has entered the chat.

That thing must carry a pretty big load of thermite, wonder how they shield it from the heat once they initiate the reaction.

 

[Herstal]

The impact of drones, and RF spectrum control by extension, can't be understated. I've been following along with keen interest; the government has been steadily making operation of drones in the US more and more difficult.

I wonder how they initiate the reaction, it needs quite a bit of energy to kick off I think. Apparently you can buy the stuff for dirt cheap though https://www.pyrocreations.com/thermite-kit-red-oxide-1-lb.html

There are a variety of ways, and a variety of thermite types. Potassium permanganate/glycerine is probably the oldest initiator combination.

 

[Herstal]

I know it's fairly easy for them to add even multiple servos onto these drones, so it could either use an electrical or some kind of mechanical (syringe push?) to move glycerin maybe? Could also be useful for decommissioning tanks so they can't be re-used, in the off chance the Ruskies actually closed all the hatches.

Bomb heavy and bomb deep!
Keep the Russians pinned down or scattering for their lives.
I love seeing Putin and his so called military humiliated!

Unfortunately the opposite is happening. Russia’s March to Pokrovsk is not going unimpeded but the Ukrainians continue to fall back.

Meanwhile the Ukrainians are not moving much further in the Kursk region. They want the west to allow the use of western weapons in Russian territory but keep getting turned down.

Ukrainians problem is manpower and no manufacturing capabilities. They rely on western ammunition and equipment.

The Russians yesterday discovered three western Himars systems and destroyed them.

Idiot Biden told the world we are running out.

Ukraine war: Iran 'sends hundreds of missiles to Russia' in 'dramatic escalation'

Iran has previously supplied Vladimir Putin's forces with huge quantities of attack drones - as well as artillery shells and ammunition.

CNN Shared A Glimpse Of Just How Bad Everything Has Become For Ukraine

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are in the midst of converging crises caused by the failed counteroffensive, the forcible conscription policy, and Zelensky’s Kursk blunder, which are leading to more desertions, defeats, and ultimately more desperation.

korybko.substack.com

CNN airing some surprising admissions about the Ukrainian manpower situation. 19,000 desertion charges in just the first four months of this year.

There's a reference in there to troops being forced to occupy positions at the front much longer than intended due to risk of getting droned when they leave their positions to cycle out. Super interesting considering the official line is that Ukraine owns the air.

The Russians will fire back all over Ukraine.

Where are the F-16s ? I know they already crashed one.

Details of Ukraine's first F-16 loss revealed by Zelensky's army chief

Ukraine received its first F-16s just weeks before the fatal crash.

Did you know you just can’t jump out of a MIG 21 and fly a F16.

Some of the instruments are backwards compared to Russian planes as well. I can't think of them at this moment. But I know if they read it as Eastern block instruments they will crash because western planes are the exact opposite.

Big Blue crashed like 1 F-16 a month for 4 years in the 90s IIRC. That doesn't count the guy you got shot down by the Serbs (his Electronics Countermeasures pod was in O-F-F mode.)

You can't jump out of an F-15 and fly an F-16. Why didn't... never mind. @Leadeye says it best.

Hooray, firing ballistic missiles deep into a nuclear armed state, no way this could possibly have consequences.
