A prominent member of Hezbollah's air defense unit was killed in a drone strike in northeastern Lebanon earlier today, the IDF says. According to the military, Maytham Mustafa al-Attar was considered to be "a significant source of knowledge" in Hezbollah's air defense unit, and was involved in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel. The IDF says al-Attar obtained his knowledge during visits to Iran, and was involved in aiding the Lebanese terror group to procure Iranian weapons. Al-Attar was struck while driving near the town of Shaat in the northeastern Baalbek district, around 100 kilometers from the Israeli border. The IDF says his killing is "a blow to the capabilities of Hezbollah's air defense unit." Hezbollah announced al-Attar's death, which brings the terror group's toll amid the war in Gaza to at least 361.  Attached File Attached File

The policy of not drafting men under 26 is ludicrous. A few months ago, I had a Ukrainian taxi driver. He was middle aged. His comments were virtually the opposite of yours. As for the not drafting men under 26, I'm not sure why that should be that way either. But, it's their choice, not ours. Based on the published casualties, Ukraine isn't going to run out of men. Russia might, though, given their loss rate. And, even if Russia doesn't run out of men, they might run out of enough to sustain combat operations in Ukraine. Either way, though, they will have another one of those "lost generations", something they can ill afford given their demographic decline. The not drafting anyone under 26 is so those young men have a chance to make more Ukrainians. I guess they figure if they haven't fucked by the time they turn 26 then they need out of the gene pool anyways. They could probably turbo charge their birth rate by lowering the draft age to 23 with deferments to 26 for MARRIED fathers of young children. FTFY No point in siring a child if the father's not demonstrably invested in caring for the kid AND the mother (via death benefits, where applicable). They shouldn't make the same mistake we have, in subsidizing unmarried single-mother families.  |

@secretsqrl123 has gotten a lot of guff because he called out the sub-standard Russian potable water logistics into Kherson. The people doing so are demonstrating their H20 logistical incompetence. I did a 'net search on "Desert Hydration" that found this chart  That military chart came from the article at the link. It gives you an idea exactly how bad a logistical situation the Russians are in with potable water in Kherson. You need 19 liters of H2O working at 43 Deg. C, which is 109 deg. in freedom units. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GR1fZ5RXEAAZTKa?format=jpg&name=900x900 The crossover ambient temperature that causes a doubling of potable water requirements is 38 deg. C or 101 deg. in freedom units. You go from 1/2 a liter of water a an hour to one liter an hour to function. @secretsqrl123 was low balling by talking 4 liters a day for 100K.  Trent Telenko @TrentTelenko · 12m At 30 deg C/86 deg F, the hydration chart shows a soldier needs between 6 and 9 liters a day depending on whether he is working or not. The 15% - 15,000 - RuAF troops in the trenches have to dig everyday to avoid getting killed by drones or artillery. Another 45% to 60% Russians are in animal labor work gangs putting things onto and off of motor transport. It has ever been thus in the Russian Army.

Including more than 550 aircraft, more than 180 helicopters and more than 27 thousand UAVs.” OK, we know that these numbers are bullshit, but let doing math: - aircraft+helicopter+UAV=27.730 - They shot down 14.270 missiles (42.000-27.730=14.270). Imagine what can do to the ruSSian army 14K HIMARS, ATACMS, Storm Shadow, Scalp-EG, Neptun and other missiles. This quantity of missiles don't have even NATO together. But there is one small detail, that is real on this numbers, it's the quantity of the SAM, what ruSSian air defense has spend. As usual ruSSian air defense launching two missiles per target 🎯. They have launched at least 84K SAMs, and now we can just imagine the price of these SAMs. I don’t know how many helis the Ukrainians had prewar, but that AC claim is roughy ten times (10x) the total prewar UAF. |

Calculations show that 900,000 barrels per day of refining capacity has been taken offline by drone strikes, Reuters said on Tuesday. This includes Lukoil’s Norsi and Volgograd refineries, and Rosneft’s Kuibyshev and Ryazan refineries, among others. May: https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Russia-Has-12-of-its-Oil-Refining-Capacity-Offline-in-May.html Reuters: calculations of offline refining capacity in Russia have been revised up by 19.2%. The volume of idled capacity is about 28% lower compared to April. In June, the idled Russian refining capacity is expected to drop by 41% compared to May levels, to 1.936 million tons of offline capacity, the estimates showed on Friday. The point to consider (from someone much smarter than me) is that this doesn’t necessarily shut down the Russian energy industry. What it does is force them to export more oil as crude (at a discount!) for it to be refined in places like India. India gets the oil at a discount, refines it, and sells it into the western market at a normal price. What this is doing is transferring much of the profits from Russia to refiners like India, which keeping their energy products available on the world market. That was from an article a couple of months ago. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Brok3n: It's why I no longer laugh at these videos as I can easily imagine our own troops or those of our NATO Allies being just as vulnerable to these g'damn things. I'm still unconvinced that there is enough reliable EW and kinetic solutions to protect our boys on the field from these Skynet-like lethal drones. Probably the most efficient "smart weapon" ever devised. Once they strap an AI to those fuckers, they will be MUCH worse than the H-Bomb. I'm sitting here knowing that every nation in the world has a "manhattan project" going to make one small/cheap/just powerful enough to blow someone to giblets. |
