Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
-
You're completely delusional if you think Trump is ditching them for that reason. They could be winning completely and he'd still ditch them. He's in bed with putin. That's why he's ditching them.
-
Hardkill APS seems to be less relevent these days for tanks aswell, if it even triggers on a drone there's no help for the next 10 that show up.
Tanks will probably never become totally irrelevant but it will be hard to justify their price when drone swarms seem to be the future.

The Kyiv Post is the oldest English news publication of Ukraine. They've been reporting for almost 30 years now.
And FYI, the USAid funds have been cancelled for all independent media in Ukraine.

From what I hear, they don't always bother - if it's a towed artillery piece, the circus of moving it is allegedly more dangerous than staying holed up.
They dig their gun into a wooded area, put lots of antidrone nets overhead, keep ammunition far away in diverse locations, and don't stay near the piece when they aren't using it. If a drone comes, there's a chance it gets caught in the nets or detonates prematurely. If it hits, there is a decent chance that the gun can be fixed. If anther battery starts trying to hit it, they hit back.

It's still a biased source and promotes false narratives. Nothing I said is incorrect. You seem to be a very aggressive Ukrainian supporter and not aware of facts.
-
They are coffins on tracks now. The tank, the warship, the aircraft carrier. All exceptionally vulnerable to $10k drones and thus: all obsolete. Until some sort of anti-drone minigun on AI enters service, the tank sits, the warship barely floats, and the aircraft carrier is 500km away.
But: attaching some sort of infrared and visible spectrum 360 camera to a processing unit isn't beyond the pale already. It won't be long until these units are all back in action. Stealth drones already? Hypersonic missiles? Good old fashioned AT launchers? Reactive armour? Spaced hulls? Laser interception? Gauss canons?
We're in an accelerated arms race right now indeed
-
No way, the Ukrainian Newspaper is not biased towards Russia? Who could've guessed? Bias does not equal false narratives.
Funny coming from a totally non-suspicious 1 day old Lemmy account.
-
The gap in US funding/equipment will need to be plugged at least to sone extent. Say what you want about Biden, that was a serious faucet
-
Honestly if he did it would rip the Republican Party apart lol
-
No exaggeration, Russia is issuing donkeys and mules (yes actual pack animals) to soldiers for transporting supplies because vehicles are in short supply.
-
The news zine is supported by US government money; therefore they represent what the Biden Administration narrative was and is. Funny how they never mentioned that they themselves were recipients of USAid when they reported on USAid being cut off. A lot of delusional people out there, and we're not being fooled anymore by this propaganda. Also stop trying to through the messenger under the bus. There is no way in hell that Ukraine is winning, they're losing ground daily. Stop the B$ and delusions.
-
Doubtful. They've shown beyond a reasonable doubt that nothing matters to them except blind loyalty to T. Nothing. Their own lives are meaningless before him, and his whims define their every breath. If he started shipping troops and guns to Russia, Republicans would be right there, fervently cheering him on.
-
If they all weren't a bunch of cowards, they would have stood up to him already.
-
The true believers REALLY don’t want American intervention and the “old guard” have already pushed back against supporting Russia multiple times.
They’re feckless but they’re not of the same mind on this.

I think I got banned for the shit post

I wonder how fast they can produce and use those new laser weapons, they should rip most drones a new one. Currently, modern war looks a like a total cluster fuck for everyone involved, tiny accurate death from above at any time... sheesh... With laser cover, currently only available on tracks/wheels and in short supply, I think it would already look very different. I have no real clue what's about to happen though, this war kicked off a crazy weird arms race.

Six anti-drone radars, the weapon station gun is 30mm so not as beefy as a Gepard/Skynex but those are meant to take out more than drones. And, yes, AI-enabled targeting.
-
Well, mules don't require fuel, and they also work as field rations in a pinch.
Otoh, they need a steady supply of mules. I don't think there are that many nowadays. Although who knows with Russia.
-
It would rip NATO apart.
-
Ukraine is their neignbor. Being that most of Europe are also NATO members, It makes more sense to me that they be the ones to spearhead this proxy war if anyone should.
