Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lokifox: They need Iron Dome and some of the more advanced Israeli drones like yesterday. It’d be a shame if something happened to those Iranian shipments. They are sneaky bastards though. That one Iranian 747 needs to have an accident post haste! If Israel goes in decidedly to support Ukraine, it will go bad for Russia and Iran. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AlmightyTallest: That kind of support would certainly help change the playing field overnight. I can only imagine most everyone backing Ukraine is pushing up some timetables to get the new air defense systems up for Ukraine sooner rather than later now. The missiles Iran just announced, are those the type that have been launched at Israel before? I'm curious as to where Israel's position is. Is this a "We shoot these down with high success so here is some tech" or is it "This is our chance to test out if what we have been developing to shoot them down before we have to use our homeland as a testing ground"? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By m24shooter: Just to try to keep this straight in my own mind- Pootie says Russia is the true defender of the Christian faith, which is of course why Iran is helping out because they are so supportive of not only crusades but very specifically Christians as a whole. Pootie says Ukraine is rampant with nazis, and that Russia must invade and crush them as an existential threat, which is of course why Israel is now going to send military aid because they are down with the brown(shirts) and have spent their entire existence as a nation providing material, financial, and legal support to Adolph's minions. Pootie says Russia is the last bastion against perversion and globohomo, which is why we have the drone video feed of two of his champions coming and going at the same time. I think those are the high points. "Our troops are issued viagra to better rape Ukrainians in our fight against the globohomo..."#proudrussians |

There's a couple of Russian firms that remanufacture the old ones and they get resold. Old amps, radios, kitch antiques ... Also, anything Russian defense related made before the 90's will be littered with them. If there's a run on them in Ukraine... odds are they aren't trying to refurb a 1960's Magnavox. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AnalogKid: Yield boosting. "Inducing" would be the flood of neutrons into the Pit immediately prior to the explosive lens being set off. This is accomplished by a neutron generator. Tritium undergoes fusion as a result of the compression forces caused by the Pit imploding.

It's my understanding tritium is yield inducing. It would still go off but poor tritium means *poof* instead of *BOOM!*. Yield boosting.

Tritium undergoes fusion as a result of the compression forces caused by the Pit imploding. It releases more neutrons...which aid in more 239Pu fissioning before the Pit blows itself apart. That is correct. Modern thermonuclear weapons use very compact first stages and that first stage needs a minimum yield to induce thermal implosion of the fusion secondary. If the slightest thing goes wrong in the primary and it doesn't achieve its rated yield, the secondary will fizzle. You still get 10s of kt of yield from the primary, but not much more. The US's stockpile management program is the best in the world, and we have the smartest boys making sure they keep these things up and running. Also keep in mind that while plutonium is a metal, but it has some very strange physical properties (I think it has several phases like alpha and delta). I'm sure there are things things with the plutonium pits themselves that need monitoring and maintaining. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Originally Posted By GTLandser: I don't think the Ukrainians were prepared for an assault of that size at all (moderate though it was).

They didn't even appear to have vehicles of any kind, and their positions didn't have any depth (meaning they had nowhere else behind to run TO). So yeah, considering the Russians had 1 or more tanks and 2 BMPs + dismounts, that went about how I would expect.  Without ATGMs, mortars, or artillery to call upon, I also couldn't reasonably expect they would just remain there, in a badly prepared position, taking direct fire from tanks.

Russian military arrived in Polohy in Zaporizhia, partially dressed in civilian clothes – General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine https://www.radiosvoboda.org/a/news-polohy-viyska-rf-problemy/32084802.html  Russian military, partially dressed in civilian clothes, arrived in Polohy in Zaporizhia, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports on Facebook. "The issue of material support for servicemen of the occupying forces, conscripted for mobilization, remains problematic. Thus, the arrival in the city of Polohy of the Zaporozhye region of a unit of the Russian Federation, whose personnel are partially dressed in civilian clothes, was noted," the message says. On September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "partial mobilization" to continue the war against Ukraine. According to Putin, citizens in reserve are subject to conscription. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that "during the partial mobilization, 300 thousand reservists will be drafted." A number of sources claim that the Russian authorities plan to mobilize about a million citizens. On September 29, Putin said that during the mobilization announced in the country, "mistakes" were made. Putin called for them to be corrected, as well as to "return home" people who were drafted into the army without reason. The Pentagon believes that it will be difficult for Moscow to achieve the mobilization of the announced number of reservists. |

That's only 116 more days, at this rate. The question isn't whether we see 100K dead Russians & Russian proxies, but when that milestone is crossed. And is there any point at which the Russian public says "no more," or do they say they have to press on no matter what because they've spent so much blood already? I feel like the latter is more likely. A mag dump into Putin's head is still the surest and best way to resolve this conflict. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: I generally agree that Lukashenko is not an idiot. He has been doing pretty good walking a tightrope between Putin and NATO. But I think the reason Belarus did not take an active part on the Feb 24th invasion is that Russia/Putin "knew" it would be a pushover and they were too proud to share in the glory. They were expecting a 3 day operation. They assumed (probably from a variety of intel sources) that Zelensky would flee and the UA would fold quickly. That all went to shit and Putin is now desperate. At this point, I'm sure Lukashenko wants no part of this shit sandwich but his marker is being called and he has no choice. Join Russia and share in the 10% chance of success now OR defy Putin and take 100% chance of being removed either by Putin or by the Belarussian people who are being pacified by Russian troops. Do we really think that Putin would press-gang the sons of elites in Moscow and St. Pete, send them into the meatgrinder, yet be shy about sending Belarussian troops. Putin is all in and he will do anything and everything at this point. I tend to agree, Putin is probably forcing Lukashenko to get off the fence. The wild card is if the Belarus public rises up against him if he joins the war. If things went the wrong way, Belarus could see civil war. And Russia probably couldn't spare the troops to help the regime. |

Thanks for the catch. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Most likely Russia is paying out the ass for the Iranian crap so Iran will have more funds for more/better stuff. Plus it's a great chance for Iran to test and R&D their stuff. Although I hope bugs in the Iranian systems gets found and workarounds are developed. Although to your previous point, I guess a good way to tell is if we start to see a significant contraction in the capabilities of the groups they have been arming across the middle east? To be honest I haven't paid attention to some of those conflicts near as much lately so I wouldn't be a very good judge of what's cooled off or what is status quo |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ad_nauseam: which video? Link? Yikes. It's from only a few pages back. 13 minutes long! Russian drone footage of a Russian attack on UA positions. It's boring in the beginning, just far away footage of a tank firing at positions a few hundred yards away. But if you endure and keep watching you will see the UA fleeing on foot (after getting hammered by the tank) then 2 BMP's roll up and dismount. 3 RU dudes get to work grenading some bunkers and eventually fan out to check on fallen UA guys, including killing a wounded UA soldier. edit. The vid was posted by Capta on page 2825. https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/y403n2/long_video_of_an_attack_on_ukrainian/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: Was it ever confirmed that Russia got artillery shells (and other supplies) from North Korea? Because if true, then it is just the most hilarious thing in the world, that the big mighty scary superpower Russia has to go begging to both Iran and North Korea to buy their shitty weapons. What next? Hire some mercenaries from Venezuela and buy some trucks from Myanmar? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AlmightyTallest: I don't believe those were used directly against Israel before. This is probably also a good testing opportunity for some companies working against ballistic missiles. Thanks. The R&D has got to be insane across the board. I keep picturing that scene in Apollo 13 where a guy dumps a big box of scrap on a table surrounded by. engineers. "Alright wtf can we make out of this?" |
