I sporadically see indications that Mariupol is still receiving some supplies (via helicopter, etc) and it got me thinking. Has there been any real world application of or development towards utilizing drones for re-supply? Would it even be logistically feasible?
The situation in Mariupol (and many other Ukrainian towns over the past few weeks) would benefit from a drone based Berlin Airlift but equally looking at Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc many casualties stemmed from supply convoys being ambushed. |

Tacky Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jungatheart: Originally Posted By Third_Rail: Originally Posted By PurpleOtter: This is seems so "white trash ignorant with money" tacky to me. https://static.themoscowtimes.com/image/article_1360/08/_124077748_13.jpg The alleged mistress of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Svetlana Krivonogikh, is renting out a luxury four-story apartment in St. Petersburg complete with its own moat, according to a media investigation published Thursday. The BBC's Russian service unearthed the listing on the website of German luxury brokerage Engel & Vlkers. The ad priced the "Residence on Kamenny Island" a 19th-century retreat for imperial royalty at 700,000 rubles ($8,700) per month, minus 90,000 rubles ($1,130) for utilities. The listing was taken offline early Friday. The BBC were able to link Krivonogikh to the apartment through registry papers that listed her as the owner of the 447,400-square-meter residence. For Rent: Investigation Exposes Putin Mistress' Elite St. Petersburg Apartment It sure has that "Russian 'opulence'" feel to it yeah.  I doubt that "447,400-square-meter residence" is correct unless she's was building Jet airplanes. Tacky May be the European use of the comma as a decimal rather than a period. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By _disconnector_: What's wild to me is the absolute blizzard of contradictory and honestly idiotic justifications for this conflict that we see pouring out of Russia right now. To me it all smells of desperation - it's what people do when they *know* in their hearts that they are wrong but they have to press forward for the sake of pride and lost self-respect. The rest of the world sees this - I wonder if anyone inside Russia does as well?  That has been the key media approach during the Putin era - not to convince the opponent that you are right, not even to convince that he is wrong but to convince him there is no truth and it's all just lies. |

And it depends on, you know, that goes up or down depending on what individual factor you're looking at. Tanks, fighter aircraft, missile inventory, troops, I mean, but the aggregate tells us that they are under 85 percent of their assessed available combat power when they started this invasion. That 80% may be what barely rolled out of a Siberian scrapyard, or the human equivalent. |

I want to take a minute to extend a heartfelt thank you to the guys that continue to post great updates to this thread. Some of the insight and knowledge base has been very useful. Even getting the perspective from the Orc brigade is valuable I guess as it shows me stupidity is truly universal. To the hotheads that wanna snap at someone that asks a question just to show their dominance, I am told by your wives you do the same thing at home.
Again thanks for keeping me and others updated with facts, opinions, a good sense of humor. |

The European Left/Right political spectrum is nothing like the American spectrum. That's where people often get confused. The spectrum has also evolved over time. This is a misunderstanding caused by deliberately poor semantics. What makes something Left or Right is really no different. Actual parties and organizations over there are way more ideologically diverse, though, than in the U.S. or even the other Anglophone countries. It's a large spectrum, and European parties occupy more real estate on it than American parties do. |

“Anti-ship missile systems”…..love the sound of that.
Prime Minister pledges UK’s unwavering support to Ukraine on visit to Kyiv: 9 April 2022 Prime Minister Boris Johnson meets President Zelenskyy in Kyiv and pledges to stand by the Ukrainian people. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "It is a privilege to be able to travel to Ukraine and meet President Zelenskyy in person in Kyiv today. Ukraine has defied the odds and pushed back Russian forces from the gates of Kyiv, achieving the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century. It is because of President Zelenskyy’s resolute leadership and the invincible heroism and courage of the Ukrainian people that Putin’s monstrous aims are being thwarted. I made clear today that the United Kingdom stands unwaveringly with them in this ongoing fight, and we are in it for the long run. We are stepping up our own military and economic support and convening a global alliance to bring this tragedy to an end, and ensure Ukraine survives and thrives as a free and sovereign nation.” The Prime Minister set out new military assistance of 120 armoured vehicles and new anti-ship missile systems to support Ukraine in this crucial phase while Russia’s illegal assault continues. This is in addition to the £100 million worth of high-grade military equipment announced yesterday, including more Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles, another 800 anti-tank missiles, and high-tech loitering munitions for precision strikes.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MelGibsonEnthusiast: Asking this question in this thread is most likely a shot in the dark, but does anyone know the degree to which the Russians have bypassed Ukrainian army units and territorial defense in the areas they "control?" It seems to me that they really only have control over roadways. Tactical level information has been non-existent in public view, for the most part, as far as I can tell. Actual strength levels, placements, active equipment, etc, all dark. In the 21st century information environment, I'm fairly impressed with how quiet things are in terms of useful military details. Ukraine in particular seems to do an excellent job with information awareness, releasing things that they should release and keeping quiet things that they should keep quiet. |
