Russia's imminent collapse since this war begun and they've always turned out to be wide of the mark I'm sure it will stabilise after a day or two. But it's a good example of the West getting back on the front foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so Putin, in his mind, is the good guy I said I would end it all but Ukraine and the West chose not to accept it Russian population laps it up and so he justifies carrying on Then says to the likes of North Korea, send us more missiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But possibly some game changing moves that will make Ukrainian chances of success higher. I wonder at what point the Russian hierarchy would say enough is enough and pull out (or turn on Putin if he continues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope he gets potted though the little druggy cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 25 Site Supporter Share Posted June 25 Some poor bugger still has to launch the drones. Those little buggers can't fly that far so need to be launched relatively close to the front. As an aside, all these videos show the land pock-marked by numerous explosions. Whenever it ends, the fields are going to need a lot of clearing and restoration work, before the agricultural economy can fully get going again.

They're not ones you see flying around a local park That is a very different type to the little pov things used close in on the battle field. They are fairly small, and are relatively easy and cheap for the Ukrainians to use, especially as a kamikaze weapon. There are a number of articles available describing how people there were switching their skills and making them. A bit like folk producing protective equipment for the nhs during covid. The power requirements alone, and a decent sized payload change the required scale for such a long journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
