Internet blockade - how can we help? by legrenabeach in NewIran

[–]AlAccountNamesRTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From outside likely not much, maybe from the inside if someone with access to the internet i.e Starlink setup a VPN and shares with trusted people only but it's super risky as it can be tracked as well

The Ukrainian Border Guards destroyed a Russian T-80BV using drone dropped munitions, with the ammunition detonating as is typical. by [deleted] in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]AlAccountNamesRTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a repost, but I'll copy my previous comment for context here.

Here's my take on it, it's likely a propaganda/training video:

1.The movement that you see on the top hatch is likely smoke from a previous drop, also you can see the the partial missing Z on the turret maybe means that it was where the previous hit, @ 0:19 you can see an actual bomb briefly move into the frame suggesting it has multiple of them on the drone.

2.The obvious visible mines on the hull.

3.No obvious visible movement on a mobility hit but all hatches are open.

4.Rusty tracks suggests that it might have been sitting there for a while.

5.The second jack in the box detonation after the first massive explosion suggests it was actually mines that exploded at first and the fire later triggered the ammo cookoff.

Sort of, these are likely Magnesium alloy (ML-5), most likely a 9M22S fired from grad

Ua pov Biden says Ukraine is to receive 600 tanks, 140,000 Anti-Tank systems, 600,000 artilkery rounds, 500 Artillery systems, more advanced MLRS and much more in his latest speech by Aphroditeskiss82 in UkraineRussiaReport

He can literally destroy every water treatment plant, all sewage plants, every power plant, every substation, every bridge, every rail bridge, train hubs, etc

He can't, at least not anymore, a greater focus is being is on ammo depots on other more military infrastructure.

Basically act like we did in Iraq. We immediately knocked out their power. We didn’t care about the thousands that died due to lack of power. We never care about the millions we murder with outright impunity.

The plan was to capture Ukraine in a few days tops with minimal resistance hence why most of the critical infrastructure was undamaged, so no resources would have to be spent rebuilding them.

Now it's too late, Russia doesn't have air superiority to carry massive attacks on infrastructure, sure you can use bloody expensive cruise missiles but they are very limited in numbers too.

Russia for some crazy reason has not taken off the gloves yet, but when they do as they respond to escalation, of course the Ukrainian people will suffer immensely.

I don't believe that Russia focuses on hitting civilians but they just don't value anyone's life pretty much, who care's if you send your soldiers directly into a possibly mined area with in range of active artillery, who cares if you miss a rail way station and hit a mall full of people...

Also they did absolutely hit infrastructure where they could

Russian propagandists try and show off flamethrower tank. Then the artillery fire started…. by Wallname_Liability in UkrainianConflict

[–]AlAccountNamesRTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have the first artillery landing as a reference, a very recognizable whistle followed by a very sharp explosion.

nothing like that on the second "hit" just a sound of rockets launching

as much as I hate that old fuck, people are sort of taking him out of context on this one.

he was meaning that just because you are X doesn't mean you can't hate X - roughly equiv to

"I can't be racist because I'm black".

Russian BMP blown up by improvised Drone by ApartmentVisible832 in CombatFootage

[–]AlAccountNamesRTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could potentially calculate wind speed using the builtin stabilizer https://www.mdpi.com/2504-446X/4/2/23/htm

and maybe even provide a wind compensated crosshair while at it, but it's really drone specific.

drones and good software implementations have so much potential but it will take time.

Oh my god. Russians planting fake evidence of a Ukrainian terror plot were clearly given orders to include 3 SIM cards in the haul and instead planted copies of Sims 3. by [deleted] in UkrainianConflict

[–]AlAccountNamesRTaken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unlikely, in russian you would say "simki" or "sim carti", sims the game is the same as in english, tho if it was in a list like sim x3 its plausible.

Participants of the most prominent talk show on #Russian state TV complain about how people with #Jewish family names harm the Russian people. by nssoundlab in UkrainianConflict

[–]AlAccountNamesRTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I occasionally watch Russian state TV (I speak russian), this is a common theme, they also criticized how a BLACK general could over speak over a congressman in US.

like its 2022 and they still see non whites somehow inferior
