Legit updates and analysis on how the russians are actually doing with their advances and whether they can keep this up? Anybody?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BossMaverick: I can’t find it now but there was an article or two a few days ago that China/DJI was going to be supplying Russia with the DJI locating systems. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BossMaverick: Originally Posted By planemaker: Originally Posted By Goodn: Originally Posted By Croak: Originally Posted By Element94: So what did we just watch?

You can buy systems directly from DJI that can tell you where other DJI drones and ground stations are. Most likely that's what they were using to target the drone. I can’t find it now but there was an article or two a few days ago that China/DJI was going to be supplying Russia with the DJI locating systems. Interesting.. One of those would be interesting to play with. |

Based on what I've seen it would be far more economical and effective to just keep the drones supplied than to worry about Mig-29's. They wouldn't be any better at blowing up armor and make for far better targets for the Russians to shoot at.

I'm definitely not trying to support russia here, but what's the motive for intentionally targeting civilians? There's no benefit to it, except psychologically. Trying to get them to capitulate.

Yet, even after that one guy held his hands up and got shot, why would they go through the trouble of hiding the body? If it's a psyop, why not leave it out in the open for others to see? I just think the russians are an undisciplined rabble with lots of weapons. Orcs. And they f-up a lot, but don't worry about civilian deaths like we do. I don't think it's deliberate though.

Apparently their citizens don't like to be free and want to be enslaved and the world's biggest assholes. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Walleyeguy24: Originally Posted By Lieh-tzu: The Russians support their government because they don't know better. Russia hasn't had free press, freedom of assembly, or freedom of speech in, ever. The world needs a Russia that respects the freedom or their own people foremost. If they all had access to media like we do, where we can see stories, photos, and video from both sides, they would be a lot less supportive of Putin. Actually, getting Russia out of Ukraine doesn't solve the main problem, which is Russia as an authoritarian and belligerent nation. Any peace deal that leaves Russia's government intact is going to leave the door open to more aggression in the future. Russia needs internal reform. Maybe Ukraine can be the instigator for it, as an impetus to remove Putin. Russia has been relatively free since 91. They have internet, cable, satellite like most of the rest of the world. They have squandered that freedom. Apparently their citizens don't like to be free and want to be enslaved and the world's biggest assholes. I would defer to others who have more direct knowledge, but I would say that the freedom seen in post-91 Russia was superficial. The absolutely did not have freedom of the press, and what freedom there was grew less and less over the years, until the last few years there's been absolutely none, as little as in Soviet days. Same with freedom of speech: sure, there was much personal expression, but less and less, until today you absolutely cannot go out in Moscow and speak against the war without getting hauled off in minutes. |

NATO defense ministers explored an ambitious new plan for the expansion of the alliance's forces in Europe at a special meeting held in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss how to respond to the war in Ukraine without getting drawn into a wider conflict. Citing the threat posed by the emergence of an expansionist Russia on Europe's doorstep, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the ministers discussed the long-term deployment of additional troops, warships and planes to the alliance's eastern flank funded by major increases in defense spending by NATO member governments. The ministers also emphasized the importance of continuing to arm and fund Ukraine in its battle to hold back Russian forces to give impetus to the ongoing negotiations for a peaceful solution, Stoltenberg told reporters after the emergency session. They reiterated their determination that NATO should not deploy forces on the ground or in the airspace of Ukraine to prevent a wider war, he said. "NATO has a responsibility to ensure that this does not escalate beyond Ukraine," he said. It is however essential, he added, to continue sending weapons to Ukraine to maintain pressure on Russia to make concessions at the negotiating table, efforts that diplomats said had made progress on Wednesday. "The support we give to them to stand up against and to resist the Russian invasion also helps them to achieve an acceptable outcome in the negotiations," he said. But the focus of the meeting was on the broader security of Europe and how best to address long term what Stoltenberg called the "new security reality" of an assertive Russia. In one reminder of the new reality, the defense ministers of non-NATO members Finland, Sweden, Georgia and Ukraine attended the meeting, underlining the alliance's reinvigoration after the emergence of the new Russian threat. |
