    The War in Ukraine

    FPV operators are like dinosaurs. Movement attracts them and there is very little you can do once they see you. With speeds of up to 300kph you can't outrun them - only maybe trick them into hitting something if you can change direction faster (unlikely). A 12ga with a fast spreading #4 shot...

    The War in Ukraine

    As an explainer as it is not well understood in the west, the Russkiy Mir (the Russian Order) often translated as the Russian World, is a form of religious fundamentalism that is totalitarian in character. Its followers define it as an ideology that embraces a common civilisational space...

    The War in Ukraine

    After a brainstorming/game theory session, one of the more 'controversial theoretical actions Russia could take over the next generation or two was very Handmaiden-esque but plausible. Russia has stolen/kidnapped a lot of Ukrainian children and is already brainwashing them. Schools are...

    The War in Ukraine

    Interesting and under reported observation that, unfortunately had the common sense ring of truth to it. Easy to imagine an agent in place in some general staff's shop now having greater access since his boss got promoted. Zaluzhnyi was right to maintain tight op-sec given the penetration of...

    The War in Ukraine

    Time for Raytheon to update TOW with an FPV camera and fibre optic 'wire' so the operator can be moving and unexposed/hidden as soon as the shot is out

    Looks like the PERI trade might need to return.

    GUR is making their rep in this war. Aided by many foreign retired SF types.

    Because, who will enforce them and how? Winners write the rules (Nurenburg fir example) so unless Russia loses in a big way nothing will happen.

    The War in Ukraine

    The talk of Russia attacking NATO is premised on an understanding of the definition of War (ie kinetic actions) that differs greatly from Russia's. They have been repeatedly saying they are already at war with NATO through multiple channels (Putin, other officials, propagandists and authorised...

    Forget about driving fast enough to outrun a FPV drone . .

    The War in Ukraine

    Possibly by sending some 'disposable' air assets to reduce pressure on their Air Force in the other fronts and allow for glide bomb CAS etc. by attracting the alleged guerilla Patriot battery. (I still think some of the shootdowns are from a 4-ship of F16's with long range missiles out on...

    The War in Ukraine

    So would a deployment of the French Foreign Legion to secure the border of Moldova (freeing up troops to go elsewhere) count as "NATO" boots on the ground? Pretty sure if the FFL did so and Putin got "frisky' that front would be concluded fairly quickly. Garrison troops vs professionals, even...
