since we can't just go bitch slap the smug off of putin's fat fucking face...because he has some old ass, worn out, antiquated piece of garbage soviet era nukes, we have to do this the fucking cowardly...pardon me, i meant the hard way....

erdrogan is a fucking two faced greedy little fuck, with no moral or ethical objections at all against playing both sides...about time for the rest of NATO to have a chat with him, about loyalties, and getting turkey kicked the fuck out of NATO and having the same sanctions as russia is dealing with slammed down on turkey as well...

okay, for consistency’s sake who owns the FPV brand?

"First Person View, or FPV, drones have been increasing in popularity for some time."

Doubt it is a brand.

My professors would have excoriated me for 1) no explanatory footnote

old ass, worn out, antiquated piece of garbage soviet era nukes,

I am not convinced. I expect the nuclear branch to receive exceptional care, like the fairly effective space program and the TU-160 wing. No Blackjacks have been used in this conflict afaik.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

this is actually quite a relief to me. i was worried that they had done it themselves to frame the russians, and brought the high moral ground they stand on down into the swamp the russians make of everything they touch.
i suppose i might have been able to justify it, somehow, but i'm glad that i don't have to, and a little ashamed i suspected them
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/06/russian-prison-camp-ukrainians-deaths-donetsk
i should have just known better, so far, no one has done a single thing the russians have accused them of, while they've been doing everything they have been accused of.

i expected their whole army to be trained, their intelligence officers to be competent, their equipment to be in decent repair, and their logistics to be well coordinated and organized...
i expect the facilities putin toured to be exceptionally well maintained, and the rest of it to be as picked over as everything else overseen by underpaid criminals

I’ll just say that their space arm is run better than their army.
I’m gonna play it safer and assume Vladolf’s nukes are similarly kept at better readiness.

The condition of the army at large is shocking without being surprising. But I consider it unlikely that the strategic forces, including the bombers, are less than 50% mission ready, and 50% of thousands is still pretty indigestible.

I don’t know what contingencies our command structure is ready for. At least we have a sane national command authority again.

DJI is a top Chinese video drone maker, he was the guy monitoring the action with a hand controller and screen. The guy with the FPV goggles flew another type of drone (a racing quad) based on RC technology into the target.

Recently DJI also makes FPV style drones too, but they are expensive and you can't do your own repairs or innovations, not good for a racing quad since crashes are frequent with high risk flying! If you ain't crashing, you ain't flying.

How about trained raptors for anti drone work! Would work with the plane type drones too.

I’d hate to see a raptor killed in action.

Can’t pay, won’t pay: thousands in Britain vow to ignore energy bills

Soaring costs have given rise to a civil disobedience movement aiming to put pressure on energy firms

www.theguardian.com

"So Josina, 35, has made a decision: she is not going to pay her energy bill. She is one of thousands of activists joining a civil disobedience movement protesting at the soaring cost of energy.

From 1 October, the energy price cap – the maximum amount suppliers can charge in England, Scotland and Wales – will go up, leading to further bill rises for millions of customers. The typical gas and electricity bill is expected to reach £3,358 in October, according to consultancy Cornwall Insight. In October 2021, the average annual bill was £1,400."

Entitled Josina. Rent, bills, entertainment and food is a 35 yr olds priority. Josina is not doing well in life or credit scores.

Unfortunately, it also represents a big section of society.... Putin is counting on breaking their wills before his machine runs out of steam.
