I can see one of those things zipping over some farmer's field picking up some buck shot! With that kind of range, I can see them being common, especially if they are classed as ultralights and I believe they are. One can only imagine the problems these will cause! If you thought drones were something, this SOB could carry a 100Kg warhead for 200km and set it down next to you, or fly it into you, or drop in on you, using commercial GPS!
Better living through chemistry, mushrooms are all the craze these days and ya can grow yer own or buy them in some states I believe. They say it works for depression with some people.
Micro doses are used for depression. I don't want to be a buzz-kill, but I ruined one of my kidneys doing too many mushrooms. Always wait several days between trips. You quickly build up tolerance, so you end up doing more and more.
i don't know if it's the result of the translation or just how strange a language russian is, but that's just hard to read...The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine allowed a strike from the HIMARS MLRS in the Crimea
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) can strike from American missiles in the Crimea . This was stated by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skibitsky , RIA Novosti reports .
He allowed the Ukrainian troops to use the American multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems) and M270 to strike Russian targets. Speaking on the air of a single telethon, Skibitsky pointed to the active use of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Earlier, on July 16, the Telegram channel “Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring”, citing its own sources, reported that the HIMARS MLRS appeared at the disposal of the Russian army. In turn, the speaker of the State Duma of Russia, Vyacheslav Volodin , said that the missiles supplied by the West to Kiev could, according to the boomerang principle, hit the US and the EU . He noted that in the context of the supply of weapons to Kyiv and the desire of the United States to "continue the war to the last Ukrainian", Europe has become a hostage to the situation, to which "aid to Ukraine" can return in the first place.
On July 15, the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Oleksiy Reznikov , stated that Western weapons received by Kiev would not be used to strike targets in Russia. According to him, in a letter to the head of the Pentagon, he promised to use HIMARS missiles for multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) only to deter Russian troops, as well as to “de-occupy” the territories of Ukraine.
В Минобороны Украины допустили удар из РСЗО HIMARS по Крыму
Вооруженные силы Украины (ВСУ) могут нанести удар из американских ракет по Крыму. Об этом заявил представитель Главного управления разведки Минобороны Украины Вадим Скибицкий. Он допустил использование украинскими войсками для удара по российским объектам РСЗО HIMARS и М270.lenta-ru.translate.goog
Ukraine will receive two NASAMS SAM batteries
In the near future, Ukraine will receive two NASAMS SAM batteries. This was stated by the representative of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuri Ignat.
According to Ignat, we are talking about two batteries with launchers, target detection systems and maintenance of anti-aircraft missile systems. Each NASAMS battery includes three fire platoons armed with 54 missiles. All 54 rockets can be fired within 12 seconds.
NASAMS is a Norwegian-made mobile anti-aircraft missile system. It is designed to work on targets at low and medium altitudes. The anti-aircraft missile system was developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace in cooperation with the American defense corporation Raytheon.
Currently, the NASAMS air defense system is in service with the armies of Norway, the United States, the Netherlands, Spain, Lithuania, and Finland. Ukraine should receive its anti-aircraft missile systems from the United States, which has recently played a key role in supplying the Ukrainian army with weapons.
Of course, the appearance of new air defense systems in Ukraine will increase the combat power of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, it is hardly to be expected that this will lead to any cardinal change. Moreover, the air defense systems still need to be brought to the place of use, and there is no guarantee that they will not be sold by the same Ukrainian military personnel who are currently selling Western weapons on the darknet with might and main.

that is my read on the war exactly, and has been since it started...NATO should have been involved on day one, and fuck putin and his nuclear threats, let the little cocksucker put up or shut the fuck upPutin is already at war with Europe. There is only one way to stop him | Simon Tisdall
He has spread economic and political pain across the continent. Sanctions don’t work, a land for peace deal would be a disaster. Only the military route remains
Hey, I read the articles and give you guys the ones that are readable. Actually the ones filled with propaganda are worse to read. They have been pushing the idea of weapons going to the dark net, more the shoulder fired stuff (which would be bad enough). But that is war, I bet in a battle the Romans lost a sword or two that the locals managed to pick up. I did see a picture of one of the new 155 mm artillery pieces that the Russians were showing off. I am sure the US was not happy about that but what are you going to do.
you have loses in war, lord knows the Ukrainians picked up enough russian hardware that was abandoned when the cowardly orcs ran away...if the russians get one piece of hardware for every one hundred the Ukrainians get, and call it a victory...well, they're the only ones who believe that shit.
With much consternation, kicking and screaming; they practically had to tie him up to make him go..Khashoggi was the Number One topic on the agenda so MBS can wipe that cheesy smirk off his face this was purely 'the enemy of my enemy' if we turn them away they will go to China.
Russia has left plenty of tanks behind
I got some 'shrooms a year ago last Dec and credit them with saving my life. I have had a serious drinking problem self medicating with alcohol since a near fatal hammer attack in my early 20s that caused chronic depression ever since and I'm in my late 60s now. Not daily drinking but 3 day binges every month or so that just made the depression worse. Anyways I tried the microdosing on and off and found my depression lifting but was still binging every 6 weeks or so then a year ago last May went into town for shopping planning to pick up a bottle of Everclear for a binge and just didn't and haven't touched a drop since. Haven't felt like eating my shotgun since either.
So, he got a talking to "FOR HAVING SOMEONE CHOPPED INTO LITTLE PIECES!"

A senior Russian security official said on Tuesday that peace in Ukraine when it came would be on Moscow's terms as Russian forces struck targets across the country with missiles even as their ground offensive stuttered.www.reuters.com
i wish it was that simple...we'd like to sanction the ever living fuck out of SA, but if we do, they have China, India, Afghanistan, S Korea...to sell to...countries with no moral compunction about buying from brutal murderers...countries that would delight in the fall of America, who are more than willing to take any advantage they can to disadvantage the US and it's allies.
