Ukraine Invasion 2: no more Black Sea fleet for you

Technically true. They are just leaving out the part where the fire was caused by a Ukrainian missile.

Like cloaking devices for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles?

yeah, I’m not sure what I was thinking exactly. I don’t really have a grasp on all the logistics involved.

I just remember reading up on the technological progress on force fields a couple years back.

ETA Satellites are the main source of info right? Seems like if they can make force fields that can block shockwaves they could provide stealth cover.

Right, but (keeping it the realm of conventional warfare) can Russia actually “restore” a military advantage?

This is all part of their special operation that is going according to plan and meeting objectives.

I’m not sure this necessarily means nukes. If Putin gets fed up and wants to go full mass-murder, surely chemical weapons and conventional ballistic missiles could do that without crossing the international nuclear taboo.

NATO won’t have an unlimited appetite for sanctions and won’t be 100 percent renewables any time soon.

the town mayor is quoted as saying several people experienced choking and other physical symptoms during shelling or bombing attacks.

true, but i don’t see what his dwindling number of missiles or even chemical attacks will net. capturing mariupol to make a show of a few hundred azov? they will need to hold it afterwards, and that’s going to be very hard if not impossible, and it will stretch for months.

a nuke is the only thing ukraine ultimately cannot counter. every other option seems to imply that ultimately russia will not hold the territory.

Those super sophisticated $120k “reconnaissance drones” seem pretty flexible… literally.

(In reference to this)

Take what some mayor says with a grain of salt. I have seen reports like this and the most likely explanation wasn’t a chemical attack but the shelling hitting some chemicals that the caused those reactions.

I think lawyers are more than primarily farmed out. They might be exclusively farmed out. It’s possible to have an entirely military medical education. So at least some of the doctors are grown in house. However, I don’t think there is a military law school, so they have to get the lawyers from outside.

Moved the military enlistment talk to this thread.

you will eventually see this in the news if true. brllingcat confirmed the mayor’s story. there are actual experts following the people complaints and doing testing.

Was looking for a road sign pointing the way to Russia, just had to wait a few seconds.
