Russian invasion of Ukraine

[dickie davies]

i might be overplaying this,
but every major so-called superpower could be looking at this and recognising a vulnerability they had hitherto suspected but hadn't quite comprehended the enormity of.
how weak they suddenly are.

Every nation with an air force is actioning a plan of how to protect their aircraft on the airfields

Hope our response to this rapidly developing threat is better than the pandemic.

Can Ukraine get hold of a submarine from somewhere?
Kamikaze crash into the structure of the bridge to bring it down would be handy

Certainly, I've no idea how deep these explosives were planted either.

What's even more interesting is how they were put there, the release didn't seem to indicate it was an under water drone, and I think after the last attempt they've put in some protection for that, but they need to keep a shipping channel open as quite a lot of ships come that way from ports on the Sea of Azov.

Dunno how true,but i was told there was 2 hits.

Slava Ukraini.

Hopefully it will go the same as the bridge over the river kwai

There’s plenty of narco subs that can go 1000’s of miles.

20 odd meters.

Heroyam Slava.

Forget the sub ramming it then

How deep is the water under the bridge?

From a quick check maybe 0-200m ( assuming image was accurate )

But why use a sub when they have the torpedo drones.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Yeah.
To be honest,who would want to be in a Sub,smashing into a structure?

Slava Ukraini.

Russian stuff blowing up: Ukraine strikes the Kerch Bridge

Ukraine’s big week of hitting Russia where it hurts continues with a strike on the iconic Kerch Bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland. This time they attacked the underwater bridge supports. There is no assessment yet (that I have seen) of...

Apparantly 2 A-50s are out of action - 1 permanently and...
The bombers were all fueled and ready to dispense an enormous strike on Ukraine...
When a load of drones turned up and spoiled Putin's party...
But as a good number we're destroyed the planed Russian assault on towns and cities throughout Ukraine wasn’t anywhere near as bad as planed.

The number of drones that will be shipped into or manufactured in Taiwan within the next 18 months will be insane.

Yep imagine how many China can produce with their factories or already have. They love showing off their swarms. Will be an absolute bloodbath if they ever tried, hopefully they realise it isn't worth it.

And with AI we really are getting into Skynet territory

Interesting video on the Spiders Web attack

Where indeed is Putin?
And who will get the blame?
And what will happen as a result?

Thanks for posting BA. Some food for thought in that video.

when we start getting hundreds, if not thousands of these then the game really does change.

Drones swarm flying through a forest with automatic obstacle avoidance. This was 3 years ago with 10 of them.

Bridge over the river kwai is still standing

I thought when I posted it, it was the wrong bridge. I was thinking of the one where they blew the dam first and the flood brought the bridge down :)
