  1. And then some people are still questioning why Ukraine keeps asking for equipment. Sure, UA losses aren't that high (Oryx is an excellent source) but still, this war is unlike anything else since WW2

  2. It's not an "illegal invasion" when a victim fights back. There isn't a single source of international laws you can reference

  3. Interesting... Just today a famous Z blogger Sergey Aliev said that this pointless war needs to stop right now. He said russians have no idea what they are fighting for and what victory even means in this context.

  4. Right now Ukraine is testing those Boston Dynamics (or equivalent) robot dogs and many are laughing on russian forums. Last video I saw was this dog throwing flames. Something tells me it won't be very funny in the near future. Also testing AI for FPV to automatically follow the target even if the connection drops

  5. This is kinda scary and explains why there seems to be so much "meat" available. No one is forcing them to go there - vast majority is contracts. BUT, they don't value their OWN lives, let alone someone else's life.

  6.  @Owlmare  you seem to be lost....

  7. Is it true that you can pre-program the target zone before you even get to the destination and then just press a button (and final adjustments are automatic)?

  8.  @that1guy_248  We'll see... His friend Girkin is already serving time

  9. Convicts absolutely got the best deal. They get a free card by going to Ukraine then come back home free to do absolutely anything they want. The latest laws allow criminals to bypass prison altogether by going to Ukraine. So basically, you can do whatever you want, literally, over and over again. And if you have money, you can go to Ukraine "on paper" so to speak

  10.  @tomhenry897  famous Z blogger disagrees with you after talking to ruZo soldier

  11. ​​ @rffromusa8319 not just that. The main point is that about half of the entire Ukraine population isn't available to vote due to displacement or occupation. And of course I highly doubt international observers will risk venturing into territories even remotely dangerous. Hence, whoever will win will actually have LESS legitimacy than the current government. The current government is in power per Ukraine constitution, by the way

  12.  @toututu2993  wrong on so many levels. Human tracking AI is already here and widely commercially available. Plenty of open source libraries too. No one is saying "pure" FPV will switch to "full" AI in one moment but using human/object tracking absolutely will be used as a supplement at first and then potentially full time. If an FPV is EW jammed, there's no reason why AI can't complete the job.

  13. ​ @BushcraftStuff  Why is it that vast majority of accounts against helping Ukraine are 12mo old or less?
    12
  14.  @kaboomwinn4026  🤣 it's a war and Ukraine is under attack. "Nothing in this Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security"
    11
  15. ​ @markburton5292 this war is waaaay past "what ifs". You shoot occupants to kill simply because there are more of them and they don't follow any rules whatsoever. Some russian crawling in your trench speaking something that makes no sense and you think they'll let him explain himself? 🤦‍♂️ Nope, he could very well have a grenade. Or maybe not. But taking a risk? Really? All I can do is 🤦‍♂️ when I hear this kind of analysis.

  16. How exactly is defending your own land and sovereignty= rich people's war?

  17. That's only his fault. He wasn't staying "low"

  18. It's actually a good place to bulldoze some of those dragon teeth and then top it off with soil. I don't see this as a huge obstacle and more of a show. If anything, mines (that you don't see) are a bigger issue. Anything else is a piece of cake for military bulldozers. But even the mine field can be cleared out by specialized equipment as you go. Plus this work has been surveyed by drones so it's not like it's a big secret where mines are

  19. ​ @Nottherightgoat  not even 100 has actually made it to Ukraine. And by the way, if you really want your money back, there's at least $350B frozen russian assets.

  20. ​​​ @agnelomascarenhas8990 Not even that lol. Civilians on the ground don't even want to see 0.001%. I mean, some yahoos here in the comment section are casually talking about 1% of 500-1500KG BOMBS falling out of the sky on civilians as if it's apples or chestnuts or tennis balls
    8
  21.  @johnsmith4811  rubbish. No where does it say a defending state must declare war. "Nothing in this Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security"

  22. Ukrainians have said it countless times, it's pointless (and they won't) mobilize more people if there's no more armor/tools/equipment/weapons at the same time. How do you expect to even train them? With virtual APV, tanks and such? And obviously Ukrainians learned the hard way (more like proved allies wrong) that without air superiority offensive moves are doomed. At least equilibrium. I mean, last summer Bradleys were being hit by russian helicopters just 8km away simply because Ukraine had nothing to counter with. Kasparov said it the best - USA storages are filled with thousands of armored vehicles just decaying in deserts. All this equipment was DESIGNED AND BUILT to take on USSR and now that the time has come, it's not being put to use. What's worse is that it'll just end up being decommissioned and scrapped (USA PAYING for this process).

  23. It's like asking "Who saw a video of Martians crucifying a russian soldier"

  24. ​ @TheBuhrewnoShow  🤦‍♂️ You should look up "mercenary" definition.

  25. @dryasir1981  oh yeah? Let's see the "stop to hostilities" and then we'll talk. Because no one in Ukraine is against elections if it's per constitution and everyone can vote. It still doesn't answer how occupied territories will vote but whatever... As Ukrainian I don't actually want to even go there because there is no way to verify who actually votes there. Just don't whine again when russia refuses to recognize elections.

  26.  @YourLocalBoogeymanGames  dude, this narrative is so stale that it's boring
    5
  27. ​ @Iascaire_tn  maybe, no point debating. Oryx stats and satellite images of russian open air armor storages show it all.

  28. Ukraine has already done this countless times. Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhe, KURSK are dejure russia... No difference between either of them. And Ukraine has already used everything from StormShadows to ATACMS on all those territories except Kursk. But Ukraine DID use HIMARS in Kursk as well as Western precision glide bombs and every imaginable western armored vehicle and tanks. So to answer your question - there won't be any response because it already happened
    5
  29. Oh really? Maybe you should spend just a few days in Ukraine. Maybe you'd understand then? I mean, you are talking as if it's some sort of an UFC pentagon fight on a neutral territory. Grow up and smell the real world. Were SS also "only fighting on the other side" during WW2?

  30. ​ @danielallan8061  Oklahoma was almost 2ton tnt equivalent. This looks about right proportionally even though it's a very crude "measuring stick". In any case, certainly not possible by an air defense system
    5
  31. Preston,... In Crimea (the beach story) there's no gray area. 1. Russians officially stated that they intercepted ATACMS and it was the debree that fell. 2. There are videos showing lots of fragments (of DIFFERENT size) falling into the water. I'm sure you've seen cluster ATACMS videos so you can make your own comparison.
    5
  32. No, haven't seen it... because 1. there are no conscripts (at least back then). 2. this didn't happen
    5
  33. And if someone is chopping heads it's also "just war and anything goes", right? That's precisely what separates ruszians from Ukrainians. For one side - anything goes (just like in WW2 anything was acceptable to Germans).

  34.  @TheBuhrewnoShow  What? Nothing else to say? Vatican guards are also mercenaries. You gonna put an equal sign between them and Espanola?

  35. Some people complain about helping Ukraine with $... Well, what USA is sending to Ukraine is a pocket change for huge strategic investment. Ukraine basically takes care of ruSSia by taking all the punches and exposing/depleting their army to a level they won't be a threat anymore. (Basically turning into NKorea). As a result, USA can focus all the military investments on China. Long term investment in Ukraine will save USA many hundreds of billions if not more.

  36.  @MrFrinZy  the point is that none of this had to happen because this entire war didn't have to happen
    4
  37.  @halilzelenka5813  I'm Ukrainian so I'll cheer this all the way. Couple of points though: 1. USA never said they'll (or NATO) be piloting jets to target russo territory. 2. Surveillance has been going on non stop since 2022 and already countless targets hit on russian territory. 3. Your kind for some reason believes russia is untouchable and can do whatever they want to a neighbor but the neighbor cannot retaliate and especially retaliate with friend's help. Mind-boggling "logic". Thankfully your kind isn't calling the shots.

  38.  @toututu2993  🤦‍♂️ I've been hearing this for at least 2 decades and yet everything that was said to be impossible is here today widely available. Including self driving cars and AI chat bots that even creators cannot fully understand now Fiber is extremely limited. All FPV drone needs to know is where the human or vehicle is. If it's jammed, today it's basically a wasted FPV. And most of the jamming happens near the target, of course. AI can absolutely take over to finish the job. And absolutely it's better than just a blind drone falling to the ground. Today most likely it's just not cost effective (hardware for AI) but of course, like it always happens with HW, it'll get cheaper and smaller. Just a matter of time. By the way, I found your "faster than a second" comment comical. First of all, in computer terms it's a lifetime. Second of all, how do you even come up with all of these specs? Are you on the frontline right now operating air recon/drones?

  39. ​ @EmeraldPreserve considering this kit is made of "civilian grade" materials and most likely the same kind of craftsmanship, I'm not surprised. Western tech of this kind is expensive for a reason - top notch engineering, materials and thousands of hours of testing in all possible conditions

  40. I remember when we saw early versions of these drones, many were laughing at this idea. Well, ruszia isn't laughing now

  41. Maybe can't hold it but surely won't allow the enemy to comfortably hold it.

  42. I admire your sarcasm

  43. Yea the first months after HIMARS delivery were spectacular. Some depots were so big they were blowing up for days

  44. Ukraine won't go back to Bakhmut. It's better to go around it and surround it
    3
  45. Why don't you ask those civilians it's falling on? Something tells me they believe even 1% is too high. But hey, they are russians so won't complain anyway

  46. @dryasir1981  they weren't occupied or displaced and there were no precision missiles (or any long range missiles).

  47. As far as I can tell, these are Oryx numbers and this organization only counts 100% confirmed incidents (backed up by photographic proof with unique identifiers tied to location). The actual numbers are absolutely a lot higher because not every crash happens on Ukrainian controlled territory and not every crash is uniquely identifiable or even is on record.

  48. How can you "shut down the war" when ruSSia already claimed 2 regions beyond Donbass???

  49. It's a documented fact with videos for every case, bud

  50. 🤣🤦‍♂️ CIA Ukraine, followed by "try to learn a tiny bit about Geo politics" 🤣🤣
