I miss one week of RFU updates and they invent a whole new class of cruise missile.

I definitely don’t buy that it was plain old “drones”. An off-brand Cessna or something like that rigged with remote controls maybe? We’ve seen similar but I don’t know if those have the range or the wherewithal to traipse about in these skies.

This was deep behind enemy lines too. Further than Moscow. Bravo

If anyone’s been wondering how America’s war on drugs has gone…

I can’t see how that’s meant to make them happy.

It’s an issue. All I can say is that change has to come from within, and for me that means being more willing to “march with” lefties I don’t always agree with, as long as there’s something important we do agree about. If someone’s a bit tank-ish, I’ll gladly shake their hand when it comes to voting for proportional representation, for example.

Can I ‘yes, and’ that with the point that simply giving more money to poor people is now pretty well established to be good for both them and the economy

Even that would be interesting.

Not good, but interesting.

Egypt is a BRICS nation as of quite recently. Interested to see how they respond to this.

It is mixed; good for the privileged, bad for the disadvantaged. So it goes.

Zero Hedge is Russian agitprop, by the way.

Larrikins.

Way too much to put on one truck. Besides, it’d be way funnier to let Russians run off with it.

Just saying. In Minecraft. Hypothetically, etc.

Two thirds of it is kept in one building in Moscow, I’m reading.

Just saying.

For once I’m #1 in something 🥳

That’s what I vote for. I’ve also donated money directly to Ukraine. Any other bright ideas?

100%… I just don’t like the future of war that is taking shape for the next big war’s draftees. In ten or twenty years, weapons like these will be turning young people into chicharron en masse, and the status quo has been eroding gradually.

No idea. It’s thermite, obviously. I’ve heard that “Baba Yaga” have a payload of about 30lb? This is from memory, so don’t depend on that guess. I would love to see how they rig it up. It appears to destroy the drone after the payload is dropped.

My feelings about the above video are nuanced. I’m glad to see Ukraine kicking asses by any means necessary, yet I hate the idea of this kind of attack becoming normal in others conflicts. If Russia can’t be stopped from sooner or later causing a world war, that is my kid’s life on the line.

In a real sense I do feel Ukraine is defending me and my family, in the long run. So I watch this kind of footage every day with a melange of hope and horror. I never want my son facing this, and that makes me a bit of a hypocrite. So be it.

Mixed emotions watching absolutely inhuman weapons of hell on earth being used against the greatest threat to peace of the century.

If you skirt sanctions as a multinational corporation, you’re… Well you’re usually not going to have that bad of a time if I’m being real. This does being a smile to my face though.

So… what exactly are they telling these guys? This one literally grabbed a bomb out of the air and kept it, and another dude blew his own brains out after he simply heard a drone approaching the other week.
