Russia-Ukraine War - News, Discussions & Updates

[j_hungary]

Zelenskyy backers knew all this when the war started. Ukrainians were selling them on the black market. At least at the time the weapons were showing up in Eastern Europe. Now they are showing up with cartels? Wow

Do you know, first, the far 2 was NLAW, and it's already used judging by the firing cap being open, they can't be reused. That's an empty tube

The Javelin is a bit tricky, first of all, it's a missile tube, not the CLU, the missile tube contain the missile, CLU is the part that you can reused CLU weren't there. Technically you can reuse the missile tube, but you will need to reseal the launcher, it's not going to be able to field-reload. Also judging from the angle and it sat on the table flat where the battery pack was, that tube also missing the battery as well. So again, that's only a tube.

This is what a full Javelin looks like

Basically all 3 are empty tube. Am pretty sure they can sell these 3 tube legally and you can get one for~$1000.

Russia ha multiple times the hardware the US has. The amount of hardware Russia built during the 1980s is insane. It's on the level of madness.

Footage of a Russian VT-40 FPV drone, controlled via fiber optic cable, attacking a Ukrainian ground tracked drone. The video was filmed in the Donbass near the village of Belgiyka. Judging by the video, the Ukrainian tracked drone was used for transport purposes. The Ukrainian drone is motionless, perhaps the connection with it is broken or the battery is dead, it is possible that it is simply waiting for the cargo to be picked up.

Because a lot of people in the west refuse to see reality. And now, I am beginning to question the mental faculties of my own President. We all knew the last guy was a vegetable.

because they believe to paradise.

the khmer rouge killed 25 percent of own population within 4y. lots of people in the west and east applauded the killings. because they think that killing is good.

lots of leftists, rightists, radicals here in the west protest about weapons deliveries to Ukraine. at the same time they care of little to nothing the russians bomb Ukraine to ashes, killing everyone.
but beware, if there is a turtle in danger they will march in thousands in protest.

What you should question is the our political system instead of the President. Since the late 90s, we became corporate America, no matter who you vote for, which party you voted for, it's going to benefit the people that lobby from that party, LEFT and RIGHT are the same, you have the progressive raking in billions of dollars championing equality and other BS in the last administration, and you have this current administration champion Project 2025 and enrich their inner circle, I mean who do you think is going to take up all the jobs after Trump fired them all Federal Employee? It's going to be Heritage Foundation, Musk and co and so on.

Corporate America is one big family, and everybody care about everybody, only you and me, the hard-working American, aren't part of it.

Why do you think I move to Australia to begin with?

I care more for the poor donkey. I can't imagine it treated well.

Footage of a strike by a Russian FAB bomb with a UMPK module on a temporary deployment point for Ukrainian units located in a forest. The video was filmed near Sudzha, in the Kursk region of Russia. The bomb was dropped by a Russian Su-34 aircraft, the type of bomb is not reported. Based on the explosion and the fact that the bomb is large and clearly visible even from a distance, it can be assumed that the strike was carried out by a FAB-3000 bomb. Part of the explosion energy was absorbed by the trees.

You sounds as if you've spent time in the US as well. American leftists don't care about Ukraine but will whine from the highest mountains about Israel.

It's bizarre.

I will be 66 in another month. I've been watching this for probably far longer than you have, Captain. I was making similar comments in the 80s only to be called a "conspiracy theorist". Imagine the shock and look on my former wife's family when my now-deceased ex-father-in-law agreed with me.

The only ones who can be blamed for this mess is those who put them there. And that includes you, and me.

The Ukrainian army, following the Russian one, has begun to protect roads from drones. The first footage was presumably filmed in the Sumy region of Ukraine. In the video, you can see installed poles and stretched wire, it is unknown whether a net will be stretched. The first to use this type of protection were Wagner units, the use of a net complicates the work of drone operators.

It's bizarre.

interestingly, many women are hardline supporters of Trump and Putin.
it’s always the case. money, power, testosterone in combination with aggression work well on females.

I worked in Chicago for a while. in the heart of US capitalism. I once considered to move to the US after university graduation.
