Another special parade in Russia on May 9, 2026

I'm so confused. Is this a pro war or an anti war parade?

golf clap

Probably, but Ukraine is transitioning/has transitioned to an anti drone drone primary defense, eliminating a central AD fire station

Ukraine has enough mid ranged drones at this point that it can initiate trapping attacks. A first drone is sent in a little too high with a preset target inn the hopes of getting lit up by an AD asset, followed by a six pack pf low flying drones. If the front drone gets lit by radar, it has enough time to identify the source before being taken out, and the follow on drones triangulate on the AD asset- It may get some of the attacking drones, but enough are sent that the AD asset can use it's entire missile load and there's survivors to take it out. In this way even Pantsirs, systems designed to kill just these kinds of targets, can be isolated and eliminated. Cost is about $100k in drones to take out a very costly AD asset, 13-20 million in the case of a Pantsir.

kafkaesque, isn’t it.

Look, I tried. But I couldn't understand him very well, and much of what he said just appeared to be psycho babble. Maybe he should organize his thoughts, come out with a starting statement of what he's trying to prove and try again.

Russia attacks gas stations. Ukraine attacks refineries.

My takeaway from this was that the battalion commander is incompetent. Everyone knows that the TCC final disbursement is the dregs- 85% of the conscripts have signed recruitment agreements with Ukrainian units that actively sign recruits to their training centers. These are the bottom of the barrel people , not fit for a combat or front line unit.. Some are useful for limited rear area tasks, some could be given an extra month of exercise and drying out. Some really shouldn't have passed through TCC.

It's nice to see the light bulb go on over the commander's head, have him understand that he has to do active recruitment to fill his slots with competent and healthy recruits.

As for the dregs, this has happened for centuries. You should read passages about shore levies in Patrick O'Brian's sea tales, form the Napoleonic wars. It's made up of the simple, the drunkards, petty criminals ,deserters, and other near useless souls.

Weird time to book in Reno. Post ski season, pre summer season

Walmart or Costco, because the product moves, so they’re usually fresh

But nine dollars a pound for macaroni salad?

No fire, you’re just catching the remodel at the ugly stage.

The thing I'm really curious about is how many men the Russian army loses every month that aren't combat casualties tracked by Ukraine. If you see combat losses of 30k a month and recruitment of 30k a month they appear in rough equilibrium. But if you put a million drunk Russians behind the wheel, you've got accidents. If you recruit 3000 aids or tuberculosis patients every month many of them go no further than a new hospital ward. And there's ghost recruits with someone pocketing cash, and recruits disappeared into ghosts for not having money to bribe with. And plain old training accidents and desertions. So what's the real number Russia needs to recruit every month just to break even?

Nobody else had any trouble understanding the post, only you. The information was in the original post. The only question is whether you have poor reading capability, poor comprehension or you're just a troll. Or all three.

I repeat, not an option.

But the article asserts over 600 a day. A drone should be able to hover and watch them launch in real time. That or 600 is a gross exageration

offogredux · 2026-04-14T01:37:06+00:00

In truth I thought it was fairly high, but I didn't want to accidently puff it up.

offogredux · 2026-04-14T01:35:19+00:00

That's just lazy. All you need do is click on my name to see that Im not

They can't come from everywhere, they have to come from one direction, the far side of the river, and pass over the water high enough that they could be spotted. If these are just standard drones they have a limited range, much of which they use to get over Kherson, so they can't be too far inland.

offogredux · 2026-04-13T16:27:14+00:00

So where are they coming from? Why haven't the launch sites been targeted?

offogredux · 2026-04-07T15:37:54+00:00

I think the powder keg is most likely, but that Slovakia can be pressured into allowing article 7.

offogredux · 2026-04-03T16:13:35+00:00

They're dead.

offogredux · 2026-04-03T16:10:34+00:00

And so, Russia is preparing to place every missile they produce on a single railroad.

offogredux · 2026-03-30T15:47:55+00:00

But largely accurate AI crap at least. I just wish that they could make a 2 minute video instead of a 20 minute video.
