magnkarl Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 So Russia's 'counter attack' in Luhansk ended in failure and now they're shifting all available free personell to the Southern axis to stop the counter attack. Just as the troops arrived near Polohy Ukraine counter attacked in the now very thinly manned Donetsk area and have liberated parts of Opytne and two big pockets near to Vodyane and Pisky. It'll scare the heebiejeebies out of the 'DPR' that Ukraine is inching closer and closer to their 'capital'. Tactical masterminding from Russia. Again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Why not make the drone much bigger, reduce the number of rotors but make them much bigger and let the man in the drone control where it goes? What time does the patent office close? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for Ukraine, I believe they got a load of T150s a good while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Just been reading about some knob head Russian general who's been promoted and started waffling. Apparently, this is just the start and Russia won't stop with Ukraine. I know he's blowing smoke up Putin's ass after his 'promotion' but he's totally deluded. If Russia even stepped foot inside a NATO country, NATO would probably smoke 90% of Russian's pre-historic, useless equipment in a few hours. I can't believe these idiots spout such crap.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) If it ever came to that, Poland are well prepared dont worry . They’ve been buying up every weapon system known to man. NATO wouldnt even need to get involved, those Poles have been waiting a very long time to settle a few scores and would want to do it themselves, I actually think they’d ask NATO to stay out of it Russia just think they have to “defend their right” to be an empire. I saw this the other day, I mean, this is what they are and who they want to be Edited September 12, 2023 by BleedClaretAndBlue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Elon Musk is about to get in all kinds of federal hurt in the US for turning off his starlink when Ukraine was about to hit a ship that was sending volleys of missiles into civilian centers. Quote Sen. Elizabeth Warren called for a probe following a report that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk curbed a Ukrainian military operation, Bloomberg reported. According to a new biography of Musk, the South African-born billionaire asked, “How am I in this war?” Sorry Elon, you got into this war when you tried to look the nice guy by donating systems to a country that is fighting a desperate defensive war. I'm sure it sucks that you're now unpopular with your friend Vladimir for it, but you can't have it both ways, you authoritarian crank-magnet.

chrisp65 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I wouldn’t say this about many people at all as I’m pretty much anti violence, but Space Karen really does need a proper smack in the mouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
