Ukraine War Thread Part 2

Presumably those “servicing equipment” will be guarding the nukes recently deployed.
Ahirtage of troops on the front line in Ukraine?
⚡Border Guards: Russia appears to have withdrawn troops from Belarus.
Russia appears to have withdrawn "all its units from the territory of Belarus," Andriy Demchenko, the spokesperson of Ukraine's State Border Guard Service, said on air on Oct. 31.
The units were withdrawn "as part of a rotation," but new units were not brought in.
However, some members of the Russian Armed Forces remain in Belarus, predominantly military personnel who service Russian equipment in the country, Demchenko said.

No, it doesn't.

Smoke over the Crimean bridge again at 3 places.
Probably defensive rather than ATACMS due to colour and duration, but you can hope….

New recruitment scheme for those unwilling to join the Russian army.
The Kremlin needs to look for new "cannon fodder" and reportedly has decided that debtors will automatically become "contract servicemen" if they default on their loans. Therefore, all data on those who owe loans has been transferred to the Ministry of Defense.
In the 3rd quarter, Russian banks sold overdue debts to debt collectors for a record 75 billion rubles (~$800 million). For example, in the 2nd quarter, this amount was 41.9 billion rubles (~$450 million).
The average debtor is a credit user who is about 40 years old, has secondary/higher education, and has a family and mortgage.
According to the Central Bank, the most debtors are in Tyva (15.3%), Altai (9.6%), occupied Sevastopol (9.4%). The remainder mostly live in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Sverdlovsk and Bashkortostan.

I bet the banks are really happy at losing the chance to ever recoup their monies from the debtors if they get fed into the meatgrinder.
They should have gone to moneyshootatmarket.com

It looks like they may have lost another leopard 2, but the crew are ok.

The jammer will be radiating a continuous, powerful signal. Should be an easy target for an anti radiation missile. Doesn't Ukraine have them?

If the US stops helping Ukraine, then Ukraine will lose the war to Putin, and later American soldiers will be forced to fight in Europe , - said the US Secretary of Defense at the hearings in the Senate regarding the continuation of aid to Ukraine.
Jake Reed, Senator from Rhode Island: "If we don't send resources [to Ukraine] , will it increase the likelihood that we will someday have to send young Americans to the European theater of war?"
Lloyd Austin, US Secretary of Defense: “Absolutely, Senator Reid, I think if Putin succeeds, he will not stop at Ukraine. If you are a Baltic country, you think "I'm next". And, you know, I have no doubts that sooner or later he will challenge NATO, and we will find ourselves [with Putin] in a duel."
Jake Reed, Senator: "So in a sense it comes down to a choice between giving them [the Ukrainians] a tool to do the job or seeing our soldiers in action?"
Lloyd Austin, US Secretary of Defense: "Exactly, sir."

You can use GPS guidance to target pretty much anything you know the position off. Isn't an AARM targetted at specific types of transmission? Would such a missile detect the signal of a gps jammer?
How do you jam a GPS guided missile? If the rocket has enough internal guidance, in other words if the missile knows where the target and it is can it be jammed?

And he will be the first one expecting NATO to protect Slovakia from a future Russian "Special Operation" into Slovakia! Yes, I know Ukraine is not in NATO, but this decision is a form of betrayal to NATO their (Slovakia's) allies. Western governments should impose severe sanctions on Slovakia. If they want to be friends with Russia then let them trade with Russia.
You comments on how Turkey works with NATO would be welcome. Any insights to share?
There is a post on the Military Aviation forum about some US B-1B bombers exercising with the Turkish Air force.
Turkey has also been plottng its own course during this war and one discussed in another thread.

Russia has developed tank jammers, whether they are actually effective given their propensity to be a bit economical with the truth is another thing to be seen. They look like a pair of nipples in the picture and can be placed anywhere on the vehicle. They are apparently being tested in occupied Crimea but may then see service in the rest of occupied Ukraine. Interesting to see the added mesh at the bottom of the turret as a lot of drone hits you see go for the turret to tank hull join,

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern warfare, the use of drones has become increasingly prevalent, posing significant threats to armored vehicles on the battlefield. Responding to this emerging challenge, Russia has unveiled its latest countermeasure, the REB "Волнорез" (Volnorez - Breakwater) electronic warfare jammers. This state-of-the-art system was first showcased and mounted on a T-80BVM Main Battle Tank (MBT) during the Russian Army Expo 2023 defense exhibition, capturing the attention of defense analysts worldwide.The Volnorez boasts impressive frequency coverage, spanning from 900 MHz to 3,000 MHz. This wide spectrum ensures that it can effectively jam a variety of drones operating within this range. With the ability to disrupt drone signals from over a kilometer away, the Volnorez stands as a formidable deterrent against aerial threats. Once jammed, most drones either veer off course, crashing into the ground, or remain stationary, loitering in place until they either regain signal or deplete their power reserves. This capability ensures that vehicles equipped with the Volnorez, as well as those in its vicinity, gain a significant layer of protection against drone attacks, marking a game-changer in defensive capabilities, especially in conflict zones like Ukraine.
One of the standout features of the Volnorez is the versatility of its jammer antennas. These are magnetically attached, allowing for flexible placement on almost any part of the vehicle. Furthermore, the jammer signals are omnidirectional, ensuring 360° of protection regardless of the antenna's position on the vehicle. While it's believed that the Volnorez is primarily fitted on vehicles equipped with an auxiliary power unit (APU) to ensure uninterrupted operation, early tests of the system were conducted on a T-72B3 tank, which did not have an APU. This suggests potential versatility in its deployment across different vehicle platforms.
The introduction of the Volnorez jamming system underscores the importance of electronic warfare in modern combat scenarios. As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the effectiveness of this new system will undoubtedly be closely watched by military experts and strategists around the globe.
