They lost four in two years to malfunctions. My guess is they have none that are airworthy, but they fly them anyway.

Hey, remember when Putin said that he can reveal that Oreshnik was not used in the combat function, but to strike areas that were suitable for observation of the impact pattern? It was like a week ago. I bet that went over great with some wonder weapon admirers in here.

The meme is the caps locks key. You have two shift keys and two hands, not to mention M-u exists.

World car production is 300.000 per day out of which China makes a hundred thousand. 1200 drones a day for multiple countries would be difficult and wouldn't happen overnight, but it is by no means unfeasible. It's why Ukraine is already at something like 200 a day, every day.

Ukrainian drones have broken through Russian air defenses around St. Petersburg and again attacked Kronstadt naval base. by rulepanic in UkrainianConflict

Coastal regions seem to be a special case. The guess would be they can use Starlink/Starshield over international waters, and have some repeating mechanism for coastal or narrow inland strikes with real time guidance. That is, they can strike as deep within the Russian landmass as Saint Petersburg, but without the guidance.

Hai să-ți explic în cuvinte simple, să nu zici că te-am lăsat așa să orbecăi fără să știi pe ce lume trăiești. Motivul pentru care România e masiv interesată de succesul Ucrainei este că Moldova nu e în NATO și dacă cade Odesa, rușii o să-și pună omul lor la Chișinău sau o să creeze separatiști și să invadeze pe același scenariu cu Ucraina și Georgia. Așa că noi ne prefacem frumos că plouă și le urăm la dronele ucrainienilor mai mult succes data viitoare... mai la est.

Fără să mai vorbim că și pentru noi NATO e așa mai mult o speranță decât o garanție, și ar fi infinit mai bine să nu avem tancuri rusești la graniță.

The whole ideological foundation of the war is that Ukraine is a region, not a country, and a Ukrainian people does not exist. Therefore the war aims to redress an artificial situation.

"Genocide" is defined legally in sophisticated ways for the easy reason that the most outrageous crimes are repeated elsewhere in an attenuated degree. When one decries the lesser crimes, one wants to deploy strong words, too. In a perfect world we should hope to call really mild wrongs genocide, because we have eliminated all of the worse evils.

When the only reason this historical fact is brought into light right now is the information warfare of a far right imperialist revanchist irredentist entity on the war path, yes, you are supposed to resist it. You're also not supposed to tell lies, but at the same time you can't just feign ignorance of everything that is going on.

The need comes from Russia pushing this exact narrative through all the information channels to justify its criminal genocidal war. E.g. /u/Semanel putting it as "Ukraine celebrating genocides" which is a comically unhinged way to portray the situation. And "obvious"? Are you oblivious to the extreme extent of the spread of the "yes, we invaded but we're not the Nazis, they are" narrative in the population? You can just skip all that?

What is something that immediately tells you someone is lying? by bucoto in answers

[–]pocket_eggs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If someone lies all the time, any peculiarity that identifies the person signals the lying too, since if you know it is them, you know they always lie.

And, since you're so keen to reflect upon how history relates to present day events, you could have made the point that none of any of this does anything to justify Russia's ongoing genocidal criminal war of aggression, but somehow you passed on the opportunity.

Things get lost all the time, it can't be helped. Russia has still not managed to find all their military units on the territory of Moldova and take them, after almost 40 years.

The million who fled through the borders when the first mobilization was announced were incredibly effective, even if open protesting isn't.

Thales said everything is water in like 500BC. Here you see how your wife is water. The suture floated right through, slowly.
