Official portrait of Sergey Shoigu.jpg

"Sergey the Hobbyist":

Sergey Kuzhugetovich Shoigu (born 21 May 1955) is a Russian politician and General of the Army who serves as Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation.
...
Shoygu enjoys studying the history of Russia of Peter the Great's time and 1812–1825 (French invasion of Russia and the Decembrist revolt). Shoygu is fond of sports and is a fan of the CSKA Moscow hockey and Spartak Moscow football. Shoygu collects Indian, Chinese, and Japanese swords and daggers. He also enjoys bard songs and plays the guitar. He does water color paintings and graphics. He also enjoys collecting old pieces of wood.

Collecting old pieces of wood? He could team up with Philpy and start a widden pallet garden furniture business.

Id be ok with launching this WC in the bin. Tell FIFA to f**k off. Tell Ukraine wel play them when their right to exist has been reaffirmed, but right now, we are not prepared to take advantage of their plight.

Or Ourselves, Wales and Austria withdraw in solidarity and give Ukraine a path to the finals.

I’m not sure that’s right? This article has the range as 150km

Its designed as a medium altitude and long endurance platform so fully kitted out 150km would seem right.

Communication Range <300 km

This armed drone is powered by a single Rotax 912 engine which develops 105 hp. It can travel with a maximum speed of over 220 km. Maximum range is 6 000 km. It can reach altitude of 8.2 km. This drone has a loitering time of 24 hours.

6km is maybe in a straight line theoretically as opposed to operationally.

🤷‍♂️

The English FA coming out and saying they won’t play them makes a bit more sense now. I was kind of wondering why they came out to say it when they didn’t appear to have any games with them.

But their women's team might in the Euro finals.

It seems like the drone strike footage that’s emerged the last couple of days is genuine. TB2s are still in play, a potentially devastating weapon. From the looks of it the Russian troops haven’t been prepared for it either. Early in the Karabakh War Armenian forces were devastated by it, they hadn’t adapted their behaviour and camouflage. Quite why the Russians haven’t a) gone out and destroyed the TB2s and the rest of the Ukrainian Air Force before doing anything else and b) failing that tried to protect from drones is a mystery. Most Russian Air Force jets can easily take out a TB2, yet here they are blowing up Russian armour and soldiers.

Fortunate for them now Killie have been relegated they don't have to deal with TB4.

FFS just what we need. More utterly pointless virtue signalling shite.

You really do have quite a nerve criticising the covid thread you know.

Your contribution to this thread has been eye bleeding stuff.

Glad to see you are upset about this. Pleases me no end.
