One reason for getting the experienced troops out of the trap is they get a lot of war criminals out too and replace them with freshly arrived innocent conscripts who will be sacrificed. If a lot of these elite "experienced" troops were captured almost every one of them would be a war criminal. One good thing is there will be lots of conscripts they won't have issues exchanging for Ukrainians, though one high profile general war criminal would be worth a lot of kidnaped Ukrainian kids to Vlad.

The weekly paycheck for beating the shit outta Vlad, keep up good work boys you'll get a bonus for early completion.

Something tells me Russia will end up paying for it anyway.

Arrange for air transport or a shipping container and ship when full, they can sort it out upon arrival. They repair and modify lots of drones and RC planes too, so parts are useful. Since the licensing requirements and other new restriction are coming into place many people are getting out of the hobby or getting rid of their drones. With them being used as a weapon of war how long before they are used as a weapon of murder, with street gangs and assassins using them in lieu of guns.

Goodbye Kerch rail bridge and cutting off the Russians in Crimea and the south. A drive to the coast of Azov while taking out the Kerch bridge would mean the liberation of the entire south and Crimea. Then Ukrainian forces could focus almost their entire strength on clearing out the east. This missile can take out rail and road bridges inside Russia and cut Russia off from Ukraine in the east and north.

The drones are more plentiful now and carry more and bigger bombs, while the Russian countermeasures are dwindling. A hundred of these working day and night can do a lot of damage to Russians in an area from miles away. Same idea and range as mortars with a God's eye view, commercial drones and mortars are a lethal tactical combination. This could be what close tactical air support looks like, or one version of it at least. A couple of these could shower a trench line with grenades during an assault, take-out machine-gun nests or RPGs ahead of assaulting ground troops. They are close enough to tell who is below and the drone operator is often close or among the troops and offer a squad level granularity in close tactical air support.

The Ukrainians started winning and Russia started losing, all for a pittance in military aid that the Russians will end up paying for, unless they block that too. The cost of destroying Vlad's army for a decade and Vlad himself is a small fraction of the US military budget and consists of mostly older weapons systems long since paid for and some due for the scrap heap.

Ukraine worried about losing internet service following Starlink outages: report
Ukrainian officials are concerned about losing internet service after 1,300 of the military’s Starlink satellites went offline, CNN reported Friday.

Starlink, the internet service run by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has been crucial to allowing Ukrainian communications throughout the war with Russia as Russian forces have destroyed much Ukraine’s own internet networks.

SpaceX’s director of government sales alerted the Pentagon last month that the company could no longer continue to fund Starlink service in Ukraine, citing the projected cost of $120 million for the remaining months of 2022 and $400 million for the next year.

Ukraine’s military has used Starlink to communicate with its forces and coordinate its defense effort across the country. The service has also allowed civilians to stay online and connected with the outside world.

SpaceX was calling for the Defense Department to step in and provide some of its own funding to support Starlink, but after the request prompted backlash Musk reversed himself and announced that SpaceX would continue funding the service in Ukraine.

But two sources familiar with the outage told CNN that it has heightened fears that Ukraine will lose access to Starlink’s internet service.

CNN reported that the outage began Oct. 24 and has been a “huge problem” for the Ukrainian military, according to a person briefed on the situation. That person told CNN that the terminals had been disconnected because of a lack of funding.

SpaceX was charging Ukraine’s military $2,500 per month to keep each of the 1,300 Starlink units online, causing the total cost to approach almost $20 million by September, the person told CNN. They said the military eventually could not afford to pay the costs anymore.
