Suspect Device Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Not sure how much you can believe this but I'll post it anyway. Quote In a poll of 1,007 Russians conducted by Lord Ashcroft, 85% of respondents claimed to have a positive view of Vladimir Putin and 76% supported the military operation against Ukraine. Edit: Not sure if all 1,007 Russians polled were Tory donors or not. Edit2: I do like how they manage to include 007 in the numbers though.

Detournement Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just now, Wee Bully said: This is really hurting you, isn’t it.? Your whole worldview being torn down before your eyes. How exactly? The Times have been printing absolute nonsense about foreign countries my entire. They massively fabricated stories about Iraq, Syria and Libya. The idea that Russian units have air defences but don't bother with a nightshift is absolutely absurd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I find it quite comforting to think that one of the world's most feared armed forces would turn out to be a bit shit. Hopefully the Americans are just as poor in the field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might just not have the ability to detect tiny drones high above them at night, so take the opportunity for some kip and hope for the best. You wouldn't want to get woken up every time a seagull passes over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what’s hurting you. I know it, you know it, everyone one here knows it. They have taken territory the size of Italy in 3 weeks and reduced a massive armed forces with huge US financing to purely defensive capabilities within 24 hours. That seems fairly realistic. Being bothered about the relative strengths of various armed forces is for absolute gimps that buy Andy McNabb books. I'm interested in the political side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I saw a video on YouTube a few years back of a Ukrainian soldier in Donbas who had modified a commercial drone that could drop grenades over enemy trenches. Russia are increasingly using drones as well and have a very large stockpile of them, as well as experience of drone warfare in Libya and Syria and, tangentially, in Karabakh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, although they have killed an awful lot of people in the process, so they probably wouldn't consider those ventures to be total failures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISIS were straight on to drones capable of dropping bombs too, as soon as you could buy them from Amazon for a reasonable price. I'm not sure how effective the defences are, given that Gatwick closed for 3 days with full military assistance to detect a threatening drone that turned to belong to the police. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofis Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Not exactly the best selection of 'bangurz' for after-parties (unless your after parties are a bit wacky), but might be handy for identifying imminent drone strikes if mad Vlad announces a global tour. The booklet that comes with the vinyl is an interesting read. https://discrepant.bandcamp.com/album/a-study-into-21st-century-drone-acoustics 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
