I do not know how much cross pollination there is between Europe and the Russo-Ukranian war communities. But this youtuber has a background in defense economics and has in-depth analysis of a wide range of subjects in the field. This week an update and analysis of the long war is posted and I thought some people that would normally not see this would enjoy these insights.

He claims it was already done… let’s see how that plays out.

Also your opponent might just forego pretence and summarily execute you when they catch you or claim themself president and be immune to consequences and imprison you anyway.

Yes exactly, also each icmb would qualify (during re-entry they also pickup “some” speed)… but it seems like hypersonic is sort of a marketing sticker thing, like “green” and “low fat”.

The NATO hypersonics that are being worked on should be able to make evasive manouvera at speed, will be interesting to see.

Yes, but afaik the hypersonic term applies to weapons over mach 4. NATO also adds additional requirements for hypersonics, such as manourerability. But they have enough speed to qualify.

Yes they are, but in this conflict the Russians reconfigured some of them and use them in a ground to ground attackrole.

They had shortages of other tactical weapons and apparently a nice stockpile of these missiles.

They are also used against hypersonic missiles the Russians have (kinzal etc.) and ballistics like s300 and s400.

Russia is also marching 100’s of thousands of their minorities and people of the Donbas to their deaths, and slaughtering Ukrainians while doing it, they are double dipping sort to say.

A lot of cruelty actually.

Earlier in the war a Wagner fighter who had surrendered was traded back. Wagner then posted a video online showing them killing him with a sledgehammer. Just to convey the message to other fighters that surrender is not an option.

In the mean time the soldiers used as barrier forces (that prevent soldiers from retreating) are Islamic extremists under control of Kadyrov. Look him up, remember all the joyful things Isis did in Syria and then imagine these are your “allies”.

So much cruelty…

Whimpy poles can’t even defend their own airspace.

Comon Poland…

Hardly any US aid to Ukraine is money. Mostly the amounts you see is the value of the aid.

The US sends Ukraine weapons and munitions that come from their own stock, and buy new ones for the US

• Older munitions that are closing on their expiration date get used instead of the US paying for refurbishment.
• Phased out hardware is donated as aid or lend/lease meaning the US buys the equipment they do want instead.
• Limited amount of new stuff is donated
• The actual money is then spent by the US, on replacement equipment. (This is purchased from US contractors who manufacture the equipment in the US and Pay Americans their salary).

Jeez and not by a small margin.

3 hour old sockpuppet doing Putin’s work.

The bulk of their recruitment is voluntary.

• They offer large signing bonuses and get their minorities to enlist and get blown up.
• Criminals are offered Amnesty for surviving 6 months in a stormZ unit.

Neither are forced. Russian civil unrest will only grow if enough of their soldiers don’t make it home. It will take a lot of Ukranian doing in order to combat years of propaganda. But now the government will be forced to spend 30pct of their budget on the military it will be harder and harder to maintain “special military operations” is going to plan.

Not a refutation… Excellent.
This really is the dumbest timeline isn’t it?

Disposable anything should be regulated. And only if there is a reasonable requirement to be disposable it can be… else, nope. This is just manufacturing externalizing the cost of the waste onto society instead of developing proper reusable products and/or making them good enough. Disposable products should be made from stuff that the manufacturer is responsible for the waste/ recycling.

Surgical gloves, yes. E cigarette, nope.
