This is a long way from Ukraine. Could ya launch a harpoon from a drone speed boat? It would destroy the boat on launch, but it would be a way of greatly extending the range of such a missile and avoid harbor booms and net defenses, so would a javelin and if it hit one of those missile tubes on the sides, it would sink them. A small fiberglass as stealthy as ya can make it, drone speed boat with big fuel tanks and GPs guidance to outside the harbor when it turns on its remote-control transmitter for video and data. A drone high overhead could relay signals to another craft further out. It would greatly extend the range of a harpoon and a speed boat drone is cheap to make, a fraction of the missile cost, but might extend its range hundreds of miles. A half dozen hitting a distant harbor from over 50 miles away would make an impression!

UKRAINIANS create DIY and modified weapons to down Russian drones.

Created in Mykolaiv the weapon consists of coupled machine guns mounted on a modified vehicle and was designed by Ukraine’s National Guard servicemen in cooperation with civilian technicians.

“When the whole Ukrainian nation unites, big ideas and projects are born,” said Dmytro Horbachyk, Ukraine’s National Guard press officer.

Ukraine manages to down about 80% of Russian drones, according to Dmytro Pletenchuk, press officer of Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration.

“This is a very high number, because it is very difficult to down 100% of air targets,” said Pletenchuk.

Iran acknowledged for the first time on Saturday (November 5) that it had supplied Russia with drones, but said they were sent a few months before Moscow's forces invaded Ukraine.

So Putin can't move troops on his own turf, but the USA can have troops spread across their empire ringing Russia even ? Sounds legit. Pfft.

So the Federal Reserve can use the shell company they own (the United States / military) to make sure oil is traded in "U.S. dollars" (federal reserve notes) but Putin can't decide what he'll do and for how much with Russian gas ?

The United States would have done much better if it focused on independence, actual free trade alliances and stopped trying to police the world.

The chickens may come home to roost.

Sooo true and not without worry. We should listen to the South rising again and not pay so much attention to Uncle Sam. Try listening to Ron Paul and his reliable news report of the situation to gain a perspective.

I don't click on links provided by people I don't know.

What did Ron Paul say that caused you to post that vid? Why do you take his POV over what facts based news journalists report?

Good, just in time for them to leave, I believe the rail bridge is still unusable though and that is the most important from a military POV. Letting car traffic across might help win the peace after the war by cleaning out the sympathizers and quislings, they know what they did. As long as rail traffic doesn't cross it, it should be ok for a while, but I think the Ukrainians can take it out, or will be able too soon enough. They aren't fitting SCALP cruise missiles to their fighters in Poland to attack Moscow, though the Poles would like to! :lol: Cutting the bridge at Kerch is a no brainer strategic move that can give Ukraine the south and Crimea with little blood and fighting.
