War

[DIY-HP-LED]

It would be possible to fuck up some railway lines enough to make it too expensive to fix, with a little planning, if it becomes necessary.
Flights of three drones each, maybe three flights per rail line. They drop explosive in three spots each, about 100-200 yards apart...Repeat that three times, a couple of miles apart, and keep the last location set into your artillery. If they bother to try to repair the line, let them get just about done, then bomb the shit out of them and it again...
seems like it ought to work...but i'm just an office chair strategist.

Well, the way I understand the facts and trains is the Russian military are very dependent on them and from what I can understand from reporting is their logistical tail is down to around 25km by road now, for large scale offensive operations. So, having the capability of destroying rail infrastructure at a distance should hurt the Russian offensive military operations the most. They had a critical shortage of military trucks before the war and Ukraine has been targeting them with artillery and gruella operations behind the lines. They need to and probably are developing drones specifically designed to take out railway bridges. The German V1 traveled at 400mph and carried a warhead over 1800 lbs with a pulse jet engine that produced less than 800 lbs thrust! If you are powering a fast suicide drone with a small gasoline engine, it only has to last for a couple of hours at the most, so you can boost its performance considerably these days! A special fuel mixture with nitro and a cheap two stage electric supercharger will do wonders for performance, at least until the fucker flies apart. The point is though, Ukraine could land the suckers precisely on target using GPS or have loitering train killer versions that would dive in front of a fastmoving train, even automatically. Shit if they can put facial recognition into a disposable killer drone, they can do this for a moving train. Dive into the tracks from 10,000 feet 10 meters in front of the train, with a 1000 lb warhead it doesn't need to be that accurate, but it will be, nonetheless.

Driving the Russians out of Ukraine is one thing, keeping them out with a minimum of, money, fuss and muss is another. Trapping the fuckers inside their own borders is a simple, elegant, humane and doable solution for future consideration. Uncle Sam won't want his stuff used to strike inside Russia, though parts from all over the place including America would be ok, with a Ukrainian drone. Ukraine also makes excellent small turbojet engines and small aviation gas engines too. To mass produce these things or cruise missiles would only require parts from abroad and a minimum amount of machinery, much easier and cheaper than producing manned aircraft, most warehouses could do it and no overhead cranes would be required for assembly etc.

A typical MAGA post by a typical moron, tell ya what Don Jr, you guys are supposed to be multi billionaires, so buy some tractor trailer loads of shit and send it to Florida. Biden is sending and has sent plenty of aid before the hurricane and prepositioned much of it. He isn't demanding you clean up your swamps or rake your forests, or even threatening and insulting you in the middle of a crises like Trump did in Puerto Rico, then fucked them over on assistance and recovery.

Russia has a propensity to claim ownership anywhere 3 or more Russian speakers congregate. Thus it's not wise to allow too many Russians into your country...

Seeing you spend a thousand words on speculations about drone warfare is comforting, actually. It is a solid diagnostic that this soon after the storm, your morale is at its usual buoyant level. Cheers.

Hey drones are my retirement hobby and I used to work for the railway, and it turns out both are important in this war. I don't see too many holes in the idea of trapping the Russians inside their own country by blowing up rail bridges near their borders with Ukraine. Of course, nobody wants to supply complete systems to do this, but parts appear to be ok, and Ukraine is not under sanctions and has a lot of allies. The technology is there, provided you are not under sanction like Russia and much of it is cheap commercial grade stuff. If Iran can build drones, so too can Ukraine, even fighting a war.

Magats and bots on Twitter, they whine about money sent to Ukraine (that stands a good chance of being paid back). They have no problem with Trump wasting money on an idiotic wall to keep desperately needed immigrants out, since there is a serious employee shortage in the service industries.

Inside the Ukrainian Counterstrike That Turned the Tide of the War

It now seems possible that General Valeriy Zaluzhny's army could achieve victory

There’s one real solution.

...is it final?

I figure the best defense for Ukraine is a good offensive game, diplomatically, militarily and using clandestine means to break up the Russian federation and cause endless trouble inside Russia and around its borders and within its vassal states like Belarus. In a few years Ukraine will be armed with NATO cast offs, as they move to new generations of weapons. They will still be several generations ahead of the remaining Russian stuff. For the next decade Ukraine will have a vast reserve of experienced combat troops and increasing amounts of modern arms. Russia will be in economic decline that will take decades to climb out of and by the time they get to sell any of their oil and gas, there will be a fraction of the current demand and low prices.

Just NATO in Europe with warehouses of shit ready to go for Ukraine in the event of trouble would make any foreseeable Russian aggression there difficult to say the least. I say keep them busy putting out fires internally and around their borders since all their neighbors loath them.

We, as in America, are good at toppling governments and regime change. Definitely need to spread some democracy over there. Use our evil super powers for good.

In the meantime more and more Ukrainians die and the children they can grab go to Russia.
Nothing to me more sinister than killing and using children.

We live in a rules based international system run largely by the UN and made during and after WW2 to prevent wars and end imperialism. A parallel economic system of international trade and economic interdependence was created too, and economic sanctions are the tool of enforcement. Liberal democracies who have the rule of law are the only ones able and fit to run an rules-based system. It's like a country, the law cannot be made by and enforced by the corrupt or the society will eventually breakdown and work like shit in the meantime, Trump and Putin are shining examples of this phenomena.

In war the only justice is retribution, make them pay and take large numbers of prisoners to trade. Vlad only understands a punch in the face or a kick in the nuts and he's been getting both.
