yet there seem no lack of russians who rabidly support war, even express wish to kill all ukranians and pust to english channel etc etc.... perhaps they are the Moscow ones who are spared the mass conscription.

Yet... even among those sent there to die, they film themselves protesting, but not at the war, but that they arent provided the necessary weapons to do the killing.... this kind, they die I also feel no sympathy for them. If hollywood movie had this kind of villains, people who have accused it of being unrealistic cupboard protrayal of bad guy, yet here we are.🙄

Maybe a good way to reduce the population. Russia won’t have enough money to feed them when they are old at the rate things  are going. So…..

MQ-9 has been in operation for 20+ years.

The downed plane could be a very old plane.

But they are killing their youth.. that's not counting those that run away already. 

And often,  it's those old totally brainwashed ones that are most supportive of war ... since they not the ones doing the dying. Wisdom doesn't come with age...😑

Russian population demographics is probably going to overtake many countries in decline. 🤔

Russia is already full of (old) women compared to men. The men are probably drinking themselves to early death anyway. Will just get worse.

US sends another drone to the Black Sea.

Come and get it .. 😁

https://www.uawire.org/the-u-s-sends-another-strategic-reconnaissance-drone-to-the-black-sea

 

Three days after the incident with the Russian aircraft ramming and disabling the American strategic drone, the US Air Force sent another reconnaissance drone, this time RQ-4 Global Hawk, to the Black Sea.

According to the online service Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic around the world, the US Air Force drone flew in the airspace of Bulgaria and Romania, after then continued into the airspace over the Black Sea. According to the American media, the UAV was sent there to observe Russia’s attempts to find and retrieve the wreckage of the collapsed MQ-9 Reaper.

The incident happened on the morning of March 14. A pair of Russian Su-27 fighter jets carried out dangerous maneuvers near an American MQ-9 Reaper drone in the neutral waters of the Black Sea. The Russian aircraft also dumped fuel near the drone and flew so close that the drone’s propeller was hit and damaged.

The drone subsequently lost control and crashed into the sea.

The Russians claim that they allegedly did not touch the American UAV. However, at the same time, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu presented awards to the pilots who participated in this incident.

Several Russian warships were urgently sent to the site where the UAV crashed to retrieve its wreckage and gain access to American technologies. The Pentagon later reported that the software and all the information that the drone had collected was erased remotely.

After the incident, the Pentagon assured that it intends to continue flights over the Black Sea, despite the dangerous provocations of the Russians.

As I said earlier in the thread, it's like world war 1 in terms of the static unchanging front lines and the huge number of casualties on both sides - despite the hype about drones and smart munitions.  They are just slugging soviet-era dumb munitions back and forth for the most part. And human wave attack/defend. Sure high tech plays a part but not as widely as we are led to believe.

But while russian losses are highly publicised, Ukraine has so far played the media/pr game better to downplay losses and focus on publishing wins. Can't blame them as it's very important for troop morale in wartime.

So it's not surprising this commander that came out to give the unvarnished version of news will be singled out and punished.

well, Ukraine still wants to defend their homeland and who can blame them?

Ukraine is currently rationing their shells and preparing for their next phase of counteroffensive which is coming around Apr.

plus, EU is going to buy 1 mllions shells for Ukraine, so game on, waiting for Russia to mobilize more.

from the yahoo link, sad reality

“I get 100 new soldiers,” he said. “They don’t give me any time to prepare them. They say, ‘Take them into the battle.’ They just drop everything and run. That’s it. Do you understand why? Because the soldier doesn’t shoot. I ask him why, and he says, ‘I’m afraid of the sound of the shot.’ And for some reason, he has never thrown a grenade. … We need Nato instructors in all our training centres, and our instructors need to be sent over there into the trenches. Because they failed in their task.”

Kupol said what was left of his unit was also facing ammunition shortages.

“You’re on the front line,” he said. “They’re coming toward you, and there’s nothing to shoot with.”

Actually even Singapore if invaded will face the exact same even though we supposedly have a well oiled reservist system. 

Other than newer batches,  Many of our older reservist will be considered unfit for combat too if we are honest.

In my opinion, refreshing your knowledge is still very different from learning from scratch

Gun designed in 1884 is the best weapon for killing wave after wave of Russian prisoners.
