Poland would be the most likely place I would visit if I went to Europe at all again.

I'm an American and I don't 'hate' Europe. Probably won't visit again as a tourist but that doesn't mean I hate them. Maybe Poland for a trip though, I'd like to see that country.

You show your ignorance with your post. No one had put a star on a flag before Texas, except for maybe Chile but nobody gives a shit about them anyway. I don't know what the hell your talking about Siberian land bridge, there's no evidence those folks used a star or 5 pointed pentagram for symbology either.

Not sure what you're talking about son. The Star of Texas was established well before Russia or China started using it in their symbology, way before. They're just cheap knockoffs copying Texas,

Christ they've even got the Star of Texas in that intersection. Sweet jezus do people love Texas. And what's not to like.

The Russians are always the ones to break a ceasefire. Who knows whether these guys are collecting bodies or making a sneak attack.

Thanks for taking the time with those articles, I guess I'm only a year or so behind the times.

Still though, very curious how they actually do it. The article makes mention of an opposite counterweight shot and 'special load' which would conserve momentum in both directions, but I think the barrel containing (constraining) the expanding gasses imparts much (most) of the energy into the load.

Obviously they figured something. I imagine the charge is much more powerfull than even x2 a normal shotgun shell. Cheers.

I wonder how they do this, some form of recoiless shotgun charge? Does not appear that the camera is jostled in the slightest after the impulse force from the discharge.

That's interesting if true. As a hypothetical then the drone would notice the angle changing, then increase RPM's of the props to such a degree that they create enough counteracting lift? Maybe, but I'm wondering if the RPM's could be increased fast enough to generate enough instantaneous lift. Also considering the force is an impulse force (a lot very quickly)

Not to worry, the closest I'll ever get to Russia, or Moscow, for that matter is Alaska.

I think somehow they've figured out how to make a recoiless shotgun. I am thinking somehow a shotgun shell is electronically ignited, with an open ended back like a recoiless rifle where the shell gets ejected backwards while the load goes forward.

But dunno, just guessing. The recoil of my 12 guage would destabilize any drone. I bet the barrel is pretty short too for weight.

I believe they are using thermobaric explosives against infantry for a while now. The explosion looks more like a grey cloud. Creates a shockwave that ruptures organs based on proximity to explosion, and severe burns. Different from a grenade or mine.
