“The changes posed by drones are so fast that concepts we implemented just a month ago no longer work now,” said an infantry battalion commander, whose call sign is “Cuba”, with the 13th Khartiia brigade.
Khartiia is one of two fascist corps btw, it’s not a brigade. The National Guard of Ukraine was recently reorganised into two 15,000 member Corps. One is Azov Corps (azov brigade no longer exists and is now a much larger fascist-led corps) and the other is Khartiia, also fascist-led.
Here is a picture of a Khartiia ceremony.
This interview is conducted with fascists.
Lol they look like the bad guys in x-com 2, wouldn’t be surprised if they’re a bunch of giant snakes under those human skins
Holy fucking shit this does look 100% like some evil Warframe or Wolfenstein faction, and libs are juicing themselves over it.
Blackest reaction indeed
What is that ominous symbol on their flags? I can only assume it’s something fashy like the wolfsangle, but I don’t recognize it.
It’s stylised bow and arrow in square shape. Why Ukrainian nazis would use typical steppe symbol is unknown to me so it’s 100% dogwhistle for swastika.
It seems very much based on the ww2 nazi turkestan volunteer badge
ChatGPT, please draw me a swastika that doesn’t look like a swastika
It looks like a space marine logo
Are they trying to look evil lmao
Liberal media would explain it as “to intimidate Russians” or some bullshit like that.
it’s to troll them!
Yes
This interview is conducted with fascists.
It’s western news media interviewing Ukrainian soldiers, this is a redundant line.
I can’t tell if that’s Zelenskyy or some guys cosplaying Zelenskyy.
I think Ukrainian fash just look like that.
CIA taught them how to do theme lighting.
The National Guard of Ukraine was recently reorganised into two 15,000 member Corps
that’s about division size, unless ukraine uses smaller size for corps
2 fash divisions making up the national guard corpsAhh yes i stand corrected, either way not a brigade anymore. 2*15,000 fascists running are the entire national guard and they perform the same role the SS performed, they are not frontline deployed.
Ah, so that’s where the leftover Brotherhood of Nod sets ended up!
modern warfare is so fucked
People are making these drones in their homes. Modern domestic terrorism is also fucked.
Human shields. As always with the west every accusation a massive projection of their own psychology, actions, and wants.
People are making these drones in their homes.
Real “Ministry of the Future” vibes here.
new cod game but you just get blown up immediately every time
CoD but you just roll dice every 20 seconds and if you get a 6 you die
swarm scorestreak is perma-on and targets both teams
When spawn camping adds realism.
Love the propaganda around Russia. In one source they’re saying the Russian army is direly undermechanized and using wheelbarrows and horses for miles for logistics and the Russian army will soon collapse, and the other source says there’s hyper deadly drone swarms and the end is nigh
I’m just like ok look at the map seems Russia has the most territory so… 🤷♀️
The media is still still shamelessly peddling the narrative that Russian army is on its last legs
Russian President Vladimir Putin is skilled at escaping the optics of defeat.
Putin will accept no responsibility for setbacks on the global stage. He always acts the victor.
Do you think the authors of these articles know that they are lying? Do they know how utterly delusional that they sound? Or do they just live in a complete fantasy alternate reality just like the run-of-the-mill regular libs?
I always wonder about that as well, can somebody be so utterly deluded or do they have to know deep down.
It’s nuts that they fly while attached to a 10 km long fiber optic cable. Corded drones! 🤣
It’s pretty smart, prevents jammers from working and is cheap
Fuck offfff there’s no way they’re doing fly by wire at that range surely?
cable that can extend 10-20kms
I wonder how strong it is, and what kind of waste is left on the terrain. Do they retract the cords after the explosion, to avoid giving away their position?
I didn’t know there were fiber optic cable missiles wtf
Just like Evangelion fr fr
No, the fiber wire stays out afterwards. It leaves a huge mess. There are photos of busy fields and hedge rows on telegram with a spider web of wire everywhere
Shit. It looks like it has the strength of fishing line. That can’t be good for wildlife.
jesus christ
Apparently it provides “a perfect video feed”.
Fucking gamers and their FPS. 🙄
complaining and getting moved to a different division because their drones have 165hz monitors and you’re only getting 30fps on an android tablet
Some missiles have wires like that but drones are a lot more manuverable. Do they get caught on things this way?
If the spool has the ability to spit out wire fast enough (faster than the drones top speed) with minimal latency (the spool can accelerate faster than the drone) it shouldn’t be an issue with getting caught on static objects. The main concern would be getting the wire caught on moving objects, like cyclists/motorbikes, cars, tanks, etc. Then you could end up with scenarios where the wire can’t be spooled out fast enough due to the movement of the object the wire is caught on. Apparently when Ukraine tested out this concept, they had big issues with that.
From what I understand of Russian telegrams that discuss this, fiber optic drones are most effectively used when you control the high ground (as with artillery). If you launch from the highest position in the surrounding 20km radius then you can hit wherever you want without the fiber optic cables touching anything outside of power lines and trees. If you use it in an urban area it’s very different tactics.
