granted it's hard to say for sure with all the propaganda on both sides, but I have to think that baring russian use of WMD if NATO got organized and united they'd curbstomp russia easily
maybe not capture and hold land long term but easily destroy any russian equipment that was faced in battle Russian nukes, and to a lesser extent any chemical or biological weapons they have, are the only thing keeping the border area of russia and belarus from being bulldozed |

Israel's Defense Minister Benny Gantz has approved the allocation of a significant budget to develop and produce a high-power laser system that will intercept a range of aerial threats targeting the Jewish state. The Defense Ministry will sign an agreement with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to develop the system in the coming day, which will be integrated into Israel's multi-tier air defense array. The initial investment amounts to hundreds of millions of shekel. The Defense Ministry's Directorate of Research and Development (DDR&D, or MAFAT in Hebrew) has been working on two laser-based systems and "has achieved a technological breakthrough in the development of the 'Iron Beam' high-power laser system," the ministry said in a statement on Thursday. The development plan for "Iron Beam" will be led by the DDR&D in the Defense Ministry together with Rafael and Elbit Systems. Following the initial investment, the next stage will include the allocation of additional hundreds of millions of NIS to complete the process. |

Russia's offensives in Ukraine have "largely stalled on all fronts", the UK's Defence Ministry said in its latest assessment of the ongoing Moscow-Kiev war. The assessment said that Russian forces have "made minimal progress on land, sea or air in recent days, and they continue to suffer heavy losses", the BBC reported. According to Ukraine's military, Russia's efforts have now switched to aerial attacks, bombing and shelling civilian populations, because they've been "unsuccessful" in their ground operations. Moscow has only recorded about 500 troop deaths so far, but US intelligence estimates it to be closer to 7,000 personnel, said the BBC report. Russian bombs continue to fall on civilian populations in Ukraine, according to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces. In a Facebook post, Ukraine's armed forces say Russia's "unsuccessful" military operations on the ground mean that it is focusing on the battle in the air - targeting infrastructure and densely populated areas of Ukrainian cities. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AJ_Dual: A friend and I were discussing this video on FB, and he called in and tagged an Apache pilot, and he said that yes, it was to get more range out of the unguided small diameter rockets. Fear of MANPADS seems a reasonable cause for them to do this. The Russians have HE, anti-armor, and frag variants of the rockets. I guess it might be moderately effective if the rockets were frag, and the target was a somewhat dispersed area of infantry and thin-skinned vehicles, but that's all it is, a guess. All things considered, it seems less effective, which is a good thing. Agreed - from what I've seen of unguided helicopter rockets, they are really only effective relatively close and fired directly at the target. I would bet that there is minimal to no military effectiveness to this loft technique but imagine the priority is pilot / aircraft survival. |

Turkey does not recognize the temporary occupation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia, while supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.That's according to a statement released by the Turkish Foreign Ministry on the occasion of the anniversary of an illegal referendum Russia ran in Crimea, Ukrinform reports. "Ukraine's Autonomous Republic of Crimea was annexed by the Russian Federation following the illegitimate referendum held on 16 March 2014. Turkey and the international community do not recognize this act which is a clear violation of international law., "the statement said. The Turkish Foreign Ministry points out that the country will continue to closely follow the events in Crimea, particularly the situation of the Crimean Tatars, who are among principal constituents in the region. |

In regards to the DJI drone issue. It came about as a result of the Drone/Aircraft encounters. Feds/ LE wanted a way to ID drones & the operators & DJI jumped at the chance. They also wanted a way to disable drones in the vicinity of airports. So if you own a DJI and there is some old grass air strip nearby, you won't be able to fly. All drone operators have to be FAA licensed (pay
a fee) & display their license number on their drone now. And if you are a commercial drone operator, there is special Pat 107 licensing for you. Commercial is anything including roof inspections, real estate pics etc. https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/ |

My thoughts about the whole "Nazis in the Azov battalion": I don't doubt that there were or even are some neo-Nazis. Whether they believe in Nazi ideology or just embrace the symbology is unclear. There are reports of neo-Nazis in the US armed forces and there have been many reports I've seen from German newspapers that the Wehrmacht currently has some issues too that have caused quite a scandal. Then we also have the avowed communist officer from West Point.
To be clear: ANYONE who is spouting this extremist ideology is a threat to democracy and a lunatic. NO ONE should be defending these people. What is blurring the lines is people abusing the terms "Commie" and "Nazi". I've been in a bunch or vitriolic arguments here on Arfcom where a ton of people are throwing around the term "Commie" and applying it to anyone who deviates from their version of conservative orthodoxy. The left does the same by calling a bunch of us Nazis. It's all bullshit and created the conundrum we have now. Words mean things and if you start applying incorrect terms to people who don't fit the description, you are cheapening the meaning of the word. Know how outraged you get when someone calls you a "racist" even though you're not? Know how people now ignore when someone is labeled a racist because, more than likely, that person isn't? Same thing here. Start being more circumspect when you start lobbing labels at others you disagree with. |

The UK would definitely help Sweden if Russia were to mount an attack, British defence secretary Ben Wallace said at a joint press conference in Copenhagen, alongside Sweden's defence minister, Peter Hultqvist, and Denmark's defence minister Morten Bdskov. "Sweden is part of the same family. We would stand beside Sweden and do everything we can to help, both militarily and in other ways," Wallace said. Hultqvist welcomed the British assurances, which he said he had been given previously in informal discussions between the ministers. |

That definitely gives it more context calling out the hypocrisy of the left it is just tone deaf mudslinging. She really seems much more sane when i have seen her give interviews. More people need to just shut their mouths on twitter |

Eh. Even NBC says they've got Nazi problems. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/ukraine-has-nazi-problem-vladimir-putin-s-denazification-claim-war-ncna1290946 Multiple things can be happening at the same time. Propaganda works because there is a kernel of truth in it. Might be interesting to see how some of the 'Nazi' fighters react if Zelensky wants to pin a medal on them. |

See the numbering on those panels? The "1" is European style whereas Americans use a simple "I". The US provided three radars of that model in 2014 and may have provided more since. Also, a stylized 1 is commonly matched with a looping 2 as shown even amongst writers in the US. Even so it’s possible that a Ukrainian hand wrote on them in the 8 years they’ve been maintaining them. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ekg98: Originally Posted By whollyshite: Or, general RF triangulation... Look up “remote ID” Most drones for civilian use now broadcast telemetry data of the drone and operator both. COTS do. That's why I'm looking at DIY builds. This is after I get better at 3D printing and get my LORA systems up and running. And get better at OSINT gathering... And... So, sometime in the next 5 years.  The only problem is that I really wanted the DJI goggles. I guess that's a no-go.
