Seems like they like the fall winter fight, natural to their climate I guess. They're hurting tough people, as we know Wars can't last forever. Perhaps this winter there will be a decider. Not from outside countries but within

Elon Musk told how he saved the Russian Navy from the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Entrepreneur Elon Musk thwarted Ukraine's attack on the Russian Navy in 2022. This became known from an excerpt from the biography of a billionaire.
Musk secretly ordered his engineers to shut down his company's Starlink satellite communications network off the coast of Crimea last year to thwart Ukraine's covert attack on the Russian navy. contents of the biography of the entrepreneur written by American journalist Walter Isaacson. As the author notes, when Ukrainian underwater drones filled with explosives approached the Russian fleet, they lost contact and washed ashore.
He added that Musk did this out of fear of a Russian response with nuclear weapons. According to the entrepreneur himself, Starlink was not intended for drone strikes. It was created so that people can relax, go online to study and do good peaceful things, he said.
Previously, Musk refused to supply Ukraine with Starlink satellite communications on a charitable basis. His company offered the Pentagon to take over the funding. He stated that he would not allow Starlink to be used to escalate the conflict , which could lead to a third world war. The entrepreneur also refused the Ukrainian military, who asked to activate communications satellites for them in the Crimea region, RT reports .
The United States will place an air force base near the Russian border. Screen
The US will locate an air force base near the Russian border using the infrastructure of Rovaniemi Airport in Finland. This is reported by the newspaper Iltalehti.
"The US Air Force will begin using the infrastructure of the Rovaniemi airport," the statement reads. newspaper material . They added that Finland is continuing talks with the United States on defense cooperation, and President Sauli Niiniste confirmed that US forces will be stationed on Finnish soil.
Previously, experts have expressed the view that Finland's entry into NATO could increase the risk of direct war between the United States and Russia , the two largest nuclear powers. The historical significance of Finland was also noted, pointing to its participation in the blockade of Leningrad in the last century.
The Kremlin promised a response to the transfer of Russian assets to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Kremlin reacted negatively to statements by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken about the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Kyiv. In this case, Moscow intends to conduct legal proceedings, said the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov during a conversation with the press.
“In any case, [the transfer announcements] were received absolutely negatively. All cases related to the blocking <...> of funds belonging to the private or state property of the Russian Federation abroad. This will lead to litigation. None of the cases of such illegal detention will be ignored,” said Dmitry Peskov. His words are quoted by the correspondent of URA.RU.

Armed Forces of Ukraine disappointed in the effectiveness of cluster munitions
Western-supplied cluster munitions proved ineffective against Russian defensive fortifications, including trenches and bunkers, which caused disappointment in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The New York Times writes about it.
"Cluster munitions are largely ineffective against dug-in Russian positions," conveys the words Ukrainian military edition. He added that such shells do not help in overcoming the main obstacles to the Ukrainian counteroffensive, namely trenches and bunkers. Ammunition can only be effective against troops stationed in open areas, the author of the material concluded.
It was previously reported that almost 45% of cluster munitions used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not explode and pose a danger to future territories where hostilities are taking place. Many cluster munitions have low effectiveness and are not designed to destroy armored vehicles. Washington is considering the possibility of transferring cluster munitions for rocket artillery with a longer range to Ukraine, Reedus reports

If true, interfering in other people's wars and them costing lives is a good way to get yourself assassinated, either by the state in question or other private players. It's a case of fuck around and find out.

One can imagine Taiwan's response to the use of drones in Ukraine and better mass-produced ones would be used there with longer range, hardened electronics. If China attacked, any that make it to the beaches would be swarmed by fpv drones on the way in or as they land, along with a lot of other shit coming at them. $500 a pop means mass deployment and cost effective warfare. Like I said, one method would be to produce kits, mostly radio receivers and shielding that could upgrade commercial FPV and other drones to survive on the battlefield easier and provide better range for things like FPV video transmissions. Pre produce the kits and keep updating the programming for new innovations.
The pentagon has taken notice and might not like the idea of a $50 million piece of equipment taken out by a $500 drone and is adapting accordingly. They are looking at these cheap drones themselves after they have seen what is going on in Ukraine, the Ukrainian government saw this a year ago and we are see the results of their and volunteer organizations who support the Ukrainian small drone effort. If they can produce 10K FPV suicide drones a month and train the pilots, as the claim, it should save them a lot in conventional arms and allow their offensive to continue for longer than it might normally have. We are sure seeing a lot of FPV and bomber drone footage, because a lot of it is funded by volunteer organizations, no doubt with a generous donation from the CIA, a few million thrown at that would be a no brainer!
Pentagon just announced the Replicator program. 1000s of cheap drones aimed at China.

This news flash video explains the US Replicator program. What it is, when it might happen, how much might it cost and why it may be so important.

They said they were gonna go after train transformers for the electric rail system, so they must see a weakness there. I figure they could turn the lights off in Western Russia this winter and keep them off if they wanted to, but that would be breaking international law I believe.

Tactically that will be where i would go, especially around Moscow and St. Petersburg, while at the same time the oblats too....

They can go after anything that has military value. If a factory has a transformer feeding it then it is game on.

Wasn't Russia harshly criticized for knocking out power to civilians already? It sux sticking to the high road when the other guy keeps punching below the belt and you really want to kick him square in the nards but I think it garners a lot more sympathy and support when you do.
Either that or everybody thinks you're a sucker.
I think if they could start taking out rail and road bridges to cut off front line supplies that would bring home the war for a lot of Russians who rely on the same systems. Seems to be a lot more concern being expressed by the population about the few drones that manage to penetrate deep into Russia.
I'd like to see Pootin's palace seriously hit but I'd wager he has half of the best anti missile defences surrounding his pride and joy.

I thought the same about his palace. Mind you, if they aimed at the defences and miss and hit the palace, well at least they tried. There will be a lot of military targets for the Ukrainians to hit now that they are getting the range.Wasn't Russia harshly criticized for knocking out power to civilians already?

True but I can't help thinking of all the Ukrainians in those areas that would be suffering along with the transplanted Russians. Us North Americans have been so insulated from the direct effects of the carnage of war but you know it has to be hell for those in the midst of it.
When will that 'War to end all wars' finally materialize?

I think the plan is to stick well inside the rules with the idea being the big prize of seized Russian money given to them by a lengthy international legal process. There is enough cash stashed abroad and in Russian government reserves to pay for the war and pay back the allies and aid too. They want to prosecute war criminals and extradite them from the EU so they need to play as legal as they can. They don't want their own war crimes charges complicating matters and harming support.
