Considering that, during WWII, we had a team that moved Alexandria and hid the Suez Canal, it might seem more sensible to spend money on a dedicated decoy design and production unit than a couple of extra SAW units.
They might save a lot more units than bullets…. Ukrainian decoys continue to get better and better, seen here, an incredibly realistic Spoon Rest D (P-18) radar decoy, sporting a fully rotating array. The unit was reportedly successful in fooling the Russians. https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/ar...in-the-desert/ |

And if it’s in a Landrover it won’t be ULEZ compliant.

Anton Gerashchenko on X: "Petr Tolstoy, deputy speaker of Russian parliament: the war will probably last for 2-3 more years. Ukraine must pay for its desire not to be with Russia. He says he doesn't care if anything is left of Ukraine after the war. https://t.co/rQxV9kKLKy" / X (twitter.com) Thanks for that, not seen it before, the way Russia is losing ships etc, in 2 - 3 years they will be lucky to have a Coracle in service, and the front should have moved past Moscow :) His by now 3 or 4 year old BMW or other, will be sitting on bricks do to a lack of spares and he will be wiping his ass with Rubles, those being cheaper than toilet paper.. Solovyv will be still moaning at the loss of his villas on Lake Como and the fact the Italians are now housing migrants in them. ;) |
He doesn’t just pull the pin, he then throws the grenade….
A typical day in Russia: An occupier who returned from the front offered a boy to pull the pin of a grenade, but after the boy refused, he decided to do it himself. The neighbors did not appreciate the game of the veteran. |
Russia's Problems with Artillery Support Are Growing
There are major problems now with Russian artillery in Ukraine….. |
These high grade steel alloys "have broad military applications: They are being used in artillery barrels, armored vehicles, body armor, and more. They cannot be substituted with ordinary bulk steel without catastrophically weakening the result. After Putin’s reforms cut off subsidized and “unprofitable” Russian military industries to cut costs, Russia’s military-grade steel industry essentially died entirely." (Daily KOS) |

There are major problems now with Russian artillery in Ukraine….. There are no likely sources of hard steel alloys for large scale exports to Russia. (Daily KOS) "Russia very likely has run through any stock of replacement barrels it may have stockpiled, and also has likely been keeping its 152 mm artillery fielded by cannibalizing parts from older towed howitzers." (Daily KOS). |
Some 🇺🇦Ukrainian media, citing their sources, report that yesterday an experimental "Sea Baby" (marine drone) of the Security Service of Ukraine damaged the 🇷🇺Russian missile ship "Samum".
As reported, not far from the entrance to the Sevastopol Bay "Sea Baby" hit the rear right part of the Russian ship, causing significant damage, the ship lost its course. The Russians had to tow "Samum" for repairs with a large fairing on the stern and a crane on the starboard side. For this attack, the Security Service of Ukraine used an experimental model of a marine drone, which is capable of operating in a storm, hiding from detection behind high waves. During the special operation, the height of the waves reached 1.5 - 2 m. We are waiting for video confirmation. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c503edf86a.png |

The British Army has unveiled the Hydra 400 drone, which can launch Brimstone missiles. At the Defence Security and Equipment International Exhibition and Conference (DSEI), representatives of the British Army said that the Hydra 400 "will offer the capabilities of an Apache attack helicopter but will fit in the trunk of a Land Rover". According to them, it takes only six minutes to prepare the unmanned aerial vehicle for launch. The Hydra 400 will be able to carry up to three Brimstone air-to-ground missiles and will be able to destroy enemy vehicles within a radius of more than 32 km. So far, the Hydra 400 exists in the form of a prototype. By the end of the year, the British Army plans to test the unmanned aerial vehicle during military exercises. However, according to the military, due to bureaucratic nuances, the drone is likely to enter service only in five years…. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....488b7150c.jpeg Mog |

The neighbors did not appreciate the game of the veteran. Can they give these guys directions to Vosdvizhenka str. 1. Moscow 121019? or failing that, to 3, Ulitsa Ilyinka, 103132, Moscow. Its just across the sewer from the Kempinski hotel. Spreading the Mir, one grenade at a time. |

Is that a very small drone or are those very big Lego bricks? |
