Russian bombers 'damaged in successful drone attack'
Bears, the four-engine Tupolev Tu-95 bombers,
IMO, modern anti tank weapons kill this. $100,000 missile will kill a multi million dollar tank.
$10,000 drone with an improvised bomb.
On a modern battle field tanks are coffins.
hope it ends soon.

Russia unleashes missiles across Ukraine, drones hit bases deep inside Russian territory
Ukraine said Russia destroyed homes in the southeast and knocked out power in many areas with a new volley of missiles on Monday, while Moscow said Ukrainian drones had attacked two air bases deep inside Russia hundreds of miles from front lines.

All excellent points. Russians may be having AT weapon problems because they are not deploying enough infantry in conjunction with their armor to deal with that issue.
Regarding the UAS/Drones it makes one wonder where the Russian EW capability is?
I agree that by themselves tanks are coffins. But when employed as part of a larger combined arms approach they are vital.
I dont know as far as Russia EW capability. Did you see the recent strikes on Russia’s airbase? Hearing noise it was done by long range unmanned drones.(edit- cruise missile)
In the open farm lands of Eastern Ukraine. I dont think infantry will be very effective. In a city, tank with infantry yeah makes sense.

From what can be found so far is there was a tanker explosion damaging a Tu-22 doesnt look like any drone was used , could be an accident ,
The Explosion at Engels so far doesnt show any damage on satelite picts , but drone supposedly used is a Soviet era Tu141 same type that early in the war flew into downtown Zagreb , so far these when used as suicide drones carry a 200kg bomb inertial navigation means its dropping out of the sky in the general vicinity.
Tu141 drone. Flies at 1000km/h and has 1000km range

I think I know who REALLY won the cold war now.
Now do Global War on Terror.....you are on a roll.
Okay let me try. They were rags on their heads, have long beards, smell like camel shit and kill anyone that disagrees with them.
How did I do?
You left out the who did the winning part.
They are back at day one in Kabul like nothing happened while planes of cash fly in and I am finding out why they really passed the Patriot Act.

Sorry but I thought I did answer the question. I need to do a better job of proof reading the posts. Yes, the Kabulites have won.
why are politicians like this? What about just doing the work and stop advertising what everyone already knows.
This is a rhetorical question.
yeah, a better question is why mccarthy and mcconnell aren't doing anything about it.
maybe it is just dangling hopium to keep people from giving up or acting out.
a schiffload of republicans got lot of money from the ftx>ukraine>sbf money laundering...
Career politicians are that way because "We the People" allow them to get away with it.
The social experiment called the "Dumbing of America" is playing out.
cause McCarthy and the turtle have their fingers and noses in the pie. They are in on it.
Well that's a very diplomatic way of saying they are a bunch of assholes that don't represent your interests and actually hate you.
Do not disagree; however, what do you suggest "We the People" or at least 50% in red states do about it? Currently voting is often the lesser of two evils. I would like to say don't pay taxes but those are withheld by employers in advance already.
Accident... lol. If you watch the security camera video released, you can here the “ what ever hit the base” fly over.
So the other strikes that occurred today in Kurk, Accidents?
Also from Sundays Strikes, this guy claims Russian media says 2 TU 95s were hit.
When talking AD , note same drone type flew for near 40minutes-400km over 3 NATO member countries' airspace before crashing in the Croatian capital, no AD interception and these days you have all sorts of ISR planes on Ukrainian border 24/7 and most of NATO Europe AF on Air patrols around Ukraine
And you see some fire retardant foam around one of the Tu-95

Since you are a member of this site and have followed along in conversations.... All you have to do is to outlive 166 million of your fellow Americans. At that time order should be restored.
As Jerome Powell said earlier this year "No one knows what the future is going to bring".
Unbelievable. Russian soldiers dying because they lack winter clothing and winter equipment. All all peoples, Russian’s should know about winter, but when $$ (rubles actually, I think) outweighs real world needs, as always people die while those who saved the $$ live on (isn’t that right Robert McNamara?)
Russians dying
Russians dying
And the supposed source for the claim? A security expert with a Brit tabloid .That is typicaly made up shit ,pulled out of the thin air ,followed by next claim that drones would stop working?And then some patronizing, maybe not because they have some western parts . From what we can see on telegram, you know first hand stuff, people post.
Most of the hubbub was about the considerable numbers of non standardized protective equipment ,wests and helmets, gear that was shipped from Iran, Turkey, and China and it was quite interesting following the debates on equipment per region as regions are somewhat autonomous in what they provide .Its seems St Petersburg and Moscow mobilized had some of the wildest variations with Turk and Iranian gear mixed with the Russian one even though these regions are far the wealthiest (seems also most corrupt). Folks fund out best gear was with the mobilized at Tula ,Izhevsk ,Pskov ,Murmansk ,Tula region was particularly notable with lots of Holosuns issued on AK12 while in many regions outfitting there are relatively few optics on the rifles and there are still a bunch of Ak74 . Far east Kamchatka scored the highest in all 4 rounds of draft , commentators on telegram commented its was the region with least fox in the henhouse(warehouses)

Someone actually believes that the sanctions on Russia are actually working. The only people that are being affected by them are the EU, USA and other NATO allies.
But you know... CNN, MSNBC and the other PRAVDA have the narrative.

Rule one in the U.S.: Do not believe anything regarding Russia if it comes from an MSM source. Of course MSNBC, CNN, NYT are a given, but in the case of Russia, all MSM are mostly Federal Propaganda Puppets, and as such will of course be arrayed against any real news concerning Russia, the favored boogyman of decades, so that includes Fox too.
I am not confident I can point to a 100% reliable source, but I for sure can tell which ones to absolutely throw away and ignore.
Almost entirely US propaganda media. This one also appears to be a propaganda disinformation.

‘The army has nothing’: new Russian conscripts bemoan lack of supplies
Relatives purchase armour and clothing for soldiers on frontline due to theft, corruption and poor logistics
www.theguardian.com
I remember in Iraq in 2005 when I saw every conceivable optic on some form of US Army M16/M4 as the US supply chain could not meet the requirements (or US could not standardize). Saw every possible uniform combination too as we were transitioning to ACUs.
Guardian is the British equivalent of Pravda , probably worse, Russia Ukraine agitprop is the kinetic end of the Trump derangement syndrome reporting.
Same folks said Russians would run out of everything 3 weeks ,most amusing are the various missile counters counting down the arsenal.
Its kinda bizarre to see this as the known stock of Kh55 was in the thousands in 1991 , The Ukraine alone had a stock of cca 1600 Kh55 some they officially sold to Russians (582) , no one knows how many Viktor Bout and co sold illegally ,dozen were sold to Iran, Pakistan and XYZ countries and then US stepped in paid to have remaining 483 missiles scraped (483 from 1600, rest probably ended up in Russia at least as the parts donors) .
And here they are counting down from 444.So far it doesn't seem they are running out of missiles. They are now ever using older nuclear ones with inert heads as SAM decoys.

My only reliable source is "Mother Nature" when I step outside in the morning.
Best be thinking local and take the rest with a grain of salt.
The AIM-54, the vaunted long range missile on the F-14, failed every time it was used in real combat, for one reason or another.
It was developed from the AIM-47 which was originally designed for the YF-12(black bird interceptor version). So after a half century of development, countless millions, possibly billions wasted, the only country to benefit from its use was Iran.
Yay...
Because of their own polocies, Germany is taking it 1 to 1 in the ass. Is it stupidity, or malice towards their own people? It's probably a combination.
As for brit tabloids, CIA misinformation, Mi6 lies etc, how is it that Russians are freezing to death, and their campaing abject failure, but somehow 100k ukranian soldiers somehow died since March?
I think very few people really have a grasp on what's really going on. Defiantly not the American public.
All’s I can say is I verify my information through at least three separate sources. You can say what you want about whether you beleive the sources. Its your opinion. As far as propaganda, this subject will have no affect on this old mortar man. So, calling me down on this is just a complete waste of your electrons. I just thought this Russian problem was so stupid that folks would get a chuckle.
Along the lines of what you are saying, however I don't even think three sources are adequate. It's still suspect.
Is the west financing both sides?

You catch where he was talking about truckloads of arms and ammo that would pull off the convoy and just disappear? No doubt to end up in South Sudan, or the streets of Paris and Stockholm. What a fucking mess.
i'm shocked.
like how i was shocked that arms from libya under our control ended up in turkey and then into the arms of the muslim brotherhood and isis in syria.
The Obama administration was dropping pallets of arms and ammo in Syria to ISIS. Nevermind the hundreds the CIA trained and then they deserted with all the weapons.
