I was wondering if this was a photoshop.
 Because this is the same Russian glide bomb featured from months ago. If real, this would be the arming system for the weapon.

The Pentagon gave Ukraine at least one Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) Engagement Operations Center (EOC). This is huge. IBCS connects sensors and effectors never designed to work together into one command and control system, so air defense commanders can see and act on data across the entire battlefield more swiftly and use their shooters more efficiently. This is the most modern air defense command and control system on the planet.   Joint Multi Domain Integration Achieved with IBCS source: https://twitter.com/noclador/status/1650470511695085568 |

If you go frame by frame, the explosion does look like it hit something, possibly a ship as something is silhouetted in the explosion with a small secondary. |

I worked for them since the mid 1990s up until about 2 years ago. I’ve been around the block a few times - from enlisted active/guard/reserve to contractor and civilian across several branches of the military, the Pentagon, the IC, DOJ, DHS, VA, the White House, and some other specialized gigs. The original point made was our fellow posters who decry US aid to UA and scream about fraud and 10% for the big guy haven’t got a clue. They shout at clouds while willfully ignoring basic facts and circumstances. They buy-in to conspiracy theories with out any supporting facts. They don’t understand the basic reality of how dysfunctional our govt is, on average, in practice. Useful idiots. End of tangent. |

For maritime attacks are they using surface drones because they can carry more explosives than just-above-the-surface airborne drones?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By trapsh00ter99: I did not know that history, thank you. For context, I would add that my question was asked in response to one of the "SME's" who said if we are fighting in Ukraine for moral reasons, don't we have a moral obligation to fight for the Uyghurs (among others). Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By trapsh00ter99: Originally Posted By borderpatrol: The Uyghurs (Muslim minority) organized a terrorist attack that involved slicing and hacking over fifty people with knives and swords in western China. The Communist Party decided to punish the entire community. As much as I distrust China, and especially Communists, murdering lots of people for no reason deserves an overwhelming response. The Uyghurs have been demanding a self-governing republic carved out of western China for decades and alliances with the Muslim nations in the middle east. What we do if Portland, Minneapolis, Austin, etc. decided they wanted independence from our nation and started murdering people to make a point.? Nobody has a right to slaughter innocent people and expect nothing in return. El Salvador has recently declared war on criminal gangs. I have my reservations regarding human rights, but organized crime deserves a harsh response. It should be illegal to belong to any criminal organization. We should be adopting strategies to wipe them out, with or without, Draconian measures to make it happen. Our Founding Fathers did not write the Bill of Rights to protect criminals! The wrote it to protect political speech! I the early 1800's it wasn't considered cruel or unusual to have criminals "blocked" (their head and arms held in a wooden vise and forced to stay outdoors without protection from the weather) in front of city hall. 24 hours probably made an impression, longer did for sure. Cheap and effective. "Depends" had not been invented yet. Thieves should be punished in the most financially effective way possible. Murderer's and rapists should spend their lives in prison. The original meaning of "outlaw" meant that person had last all legal recourse through the "King's Courts". Part of being a citizen meant you honored and obeyed your nation's laws. If you stepped outside of that protection and responsibility too many times, the King could place you as a "persona non grata". You were no longer a citizen, you have no rights, anyone could exact a revenge, burn your house down, F you in the ass and you no longer had recourse. If one of your previous victims decided to slit your throat, no law could stop them or punish them. If someone you never harmed decided to do the same, you were helpless. It's important to have consequences. The social contract comes with responsibilities and commitments. Anyone who thinks they don't owe something to their neighbors', are not a member of their community, don't support law enforcement, won't testify against criminals, especially violent criminals, deserve the city they get. They might lose all their worldly possessions and some of their loved ones. We are at a crossroads. Probably have been for decades. Allowing criminality to become common, even allowed, will destroy our nation. This is not a problem that can't be conquered. Right and wrong is almost universally accepted. We need to find a way to address criminality that performs a positive outcome and response from the community. The poorest crime ridden communities should be free of litter, condemned buildings, graffiti and the sidewalks trimmed to the limit of their base. Convicts should be put to work making their communities better. The lowest income neighborhoods should be spotless when it comes to litter. The humiliation and forced responsibility should make an impression on the offenders. They may even become an asset once they are released from their duties, who wants to see their community deteriorate after they spent days cleaning it up? With the current technology available, convicts could be required to wear shock collars or shock bracelets that would punish them severely should they get over 100 yards away from the work crew. Supervisors could punish anyone as an individual should they break any rules. Most of our inner cities are full of trash and condemned buildings need demolition. Being on a chain gang in your own neighborhood will have a sobering effect. Criminals, to a man, hate being shamed or humiliated. Lets get something positive done with convicts, instead of suffering high financial costs and little incentive against a return visit to our court system. For context, I would add that my question was asked in response to one of the "SME's" who said if we are fighting in Ukraine for moral reasons, don't we have a moral obligation to fight for the Uyghurs (among others). None of that can happen when we have criminals running our own country |

Not just explosives but engines and batteries/fuel to get the long range that they need. It is easier and cheaper to pack all that heavy stuff on surface drones than to make them fly. Ships can also loiter for a long time, waiting for the right moment to attack without consuming much energy. |
