Doesn’t seem like the worst idea in a protection sense but seems like it could have major drawbacks for combat visibility, mobility, etc.

I mean they'll just aim for the engine deck, disable it, and watch the crew run away.

Sure but if I were one of those crew members that’s better than signing my cosmonaut contract.

Assuming the Ukrainians don't just bank the drone in sideways I guess. Some of their operators are pretty skilled.

I was thinking AFU needs to ditch impact fuzes, embrace proximity fuzes for HEAT bearing drones. Then just basically ignore whatever it is the Russians bolt onto their tracked coffins.

As a bonus, if an fpv detonates outside of those steel ropes, they may just fragment sending extra shrapnel everywhere.

Depends on the warhead used, but with shaped charges you want to disable them before they detonate. Hypersonic molten copper bad.

I wonder how long it took for that ingloriously magnificent fountain of gag inducing poopage to depressurize itself, along with what led it to build up so much pressure to create such a wondrous release of hydraulic energy at that magnitude in the first place. A very large and persistent deluge in some adjacent mountain range perhaps with some blockage downstream of the gusher?

Looks like they are edging towards an agreement. Russian strikes on their grid are painful for Ukraine and the Ukrainians for their part have shown that they can respond in kind effectively. Plus they might want to actually re-sign the gas transit deal since Russian needs to fulfill their contracts for gas and Ukraine could use the money.

Looks like Ukraine is showing its hand at how many losses they have endured. Calling up another 160k.
The problem is that Russia keeps adding more men in more regions. Notice how Russian losses are near constantly above 1,500 these days. Number of Russians in the fight today is at least 3 times the initial invasion army of 2022. In our great show of weakness, by not putting a decisive end to Russian forces, the war continues to escalate.

In which Zelensky argues that the WH habitually leaking all the contents of their discussions is somewhat frustrating and counterproductive. He ain't wrong.

Sometimes, it seems that White House staff just can't shut their mouths. There are certainly times to leak stuff, but you don't need to be an open line to the press to just repeat everything you hear.

Well about Ukraine specifically so you have to assume it is intentional. Misguided "escalation management".

I'm curious to hear what speaking Russian with a Korean accent sounds like, or speaking Korean with a Russian accent as well and how all of that ends up while communicating in the shit where lives are being lost every second and every hour the op is occurring. That's where language barriers, racism and national pride can produce some rather exciting exchanges of cultural idioms and values.

Fer sure there's favors being paid off as well as favors being made as far as these leaks are concerned.

This always brings a smile to my face: Ukraine hitting those drunk assholes where it rrreally hurts.

"Four different distilleries in Russia were targeted by Ukrainian drones early Tuesday. It was the largest attack on Russia's alcohol production facilities to date. The plants also supply fuel used in the ongoing war—while a combined heat and power plant and synthetic rubber plant were also targeted in the strike."

Some people might argue letting them stay drunk would work better. I think I'd rather see rampant withdrawal symptoms through their ranks, should pair well with the 3 Day War morale. I bet there's a spike in officers getting killed by their own guys. That the plants also produce fuels for things is just a bonus.

Time to start drinking tank brake fluid Yuri, shouldn't make you that blind.
