how the FUCK did the passenger survive the explosion?no sound since the source just had a music track playing
Isn't this like half a year old already?
>>64745638>saying no sound on /k/Retard
>>64745638Who says he survived?
>>64745643Yes>>64745660Also this. He didn't die instantly but that doesn't mean he was fine/survived
>>64745638In addition to >>64745660 and the very real likelihood of the passenger being severely injured, due to how physics work if the passenger is lined up the right way with the driver then the driver's body will take the brunt of the pressure wave and shrapnel.
>>64745638>how the FUCK did the passenger survive the explosion?1 first guy absorbed most of the blast, idk how much shrapnel is in Ukie drones
>>64745638>how the FUCK did the passenger survive the explosionNothing to lose your head aover.
Does the russian military still receive voluntary applications, or is now entirely based on forced conscription?
It's a shaped charge. The driver absorbed most of the blast. Secondary fragmentation is less relevant.
>>64745693forced volunteers
>>64745693>still receive voluntary applicationsYes, they still offer a shit ton of money that they will never pay out, the person receiving it will dies before getting paid
>>64745693Mix of both. They offer high bonuses**which they dont pay out if you die
>>64745711According to russians themselves, only idiots, the desperate and indians with sub elementary knowledge of the russian language still enlist. To join the russian army is now considered worthy of the pariah treatment.
I'm glad i left krasnodar for uzbekistan back in 2020. If i were stillin russia i'd be long dead.

There's something really scummy about drone warfare that I can't quite put my finger on. It's technically no different to aerial bombing, but still...
>>64745735It's kamikaze but the pilot remains unscathed.
>>64745735Probably the remote nature of it and the camera that often records the last facial expression of the target. Virtually every other weapon requires the user to expose themselves to danger in some way, it's kind of like artillery without the risk of counter battery. Conventional drones also have that remote nature, but you're usually watching the target blow up through a telephoto lens in the air. It'll be interesting to see what sort of psychological effect that has on fpv pilots.
>>64745735At least there is a human operator behind it making the decision to take a life. In 10 years AI drone warfare will be common, AI will decide who lives or dies in a battlefield. Autonomous decision making for life or death. I guess you can say it's like a land mine, but land mines don't make decisions.
>>64745800>Virtually every other weapon requires the user to expose themselves to danger in some wayFPV drone operators have been consistently getting blown the fuck up in this conflict because of the limited range of FPV drones.
>>64745816>In 10 years AI drone warfare will be common, AI will decide who lives or dies in a battlefield. Autonomous decision making for life or death. I guess you can say it's like a land mine, but land mines don't make decisions.Yes this is how they're going to counter jamming and limited range causing drone operators to get fucked by other drones. It's also why jamming, even ignoring the square law of effort for range and more frequencies, is eventually going to be a dead end, probably at first it'll be a fall back mode when contact to the pilot is lost since you can safely assume that'll happen close enough to a non-friendly target.
>>64745716How has the bottom not dropped out yet? How much longer can they sustain this? It feels like it's lasted far longer than it has any right to.
>>64745800>it's kind of like artillery without the risk of counter batteryso US troops in every war since Korea ?
>>64745823Sure, but it's no different than the guy sitting next to him eating lunch. You have to poke your head out to use a rifle or a launcher, you have to leave the fob to get close enough to throw a grenade, probably using a large and loud vehicle to get there. A little drone going bzzzzzt is way harder to notice than artillery. (Ignoring ew.) So even if pilots have high casualty rates the perception of what they're doing conceptually it's going to seem safer at the surface. It's kind of like the meme of being a pussy for shooting someone instead of fist fighting.
>>64745693They are paying 40k dollars conscription bonuses in areas where the annual income is like 2000 dollars.Adjusted to a first world income of 50k that would be one million dollars.Hm. I still wouldn't join a meatwave for that kind of money, I guess the fact they only get state TV does alot of work here.Well and since all Russians have to go through conscriptions they have a steady stream of young men that can be forcefully volunteered.
>>647465221 milly-equivalent of purchasing power can be a life changing amount of money. Like, buy both of your kids a house kindIf you look at it like "I know I'll die, but at least my family will be set up for life", it's a bit more understandable
>>64746806But then less understandable when they all know that the russian government will always try to get out of its obligations with bureaucracy and lies.
>>64746522Judging by what I've heard on the web from various russians, the police are also vital to military recruitment at this point.They'll arrest any reasonably fit, reasonably healthy-looking men they see under false pretenses, threaten to frame them with something resulting in a 20 year sentence in the assrape gulag, then given them an option to avoid prison if the "suspect" agrees to join the military instead.This now seems to be the standard police response to things like minor crimes like public intoxication, speeding, weed possession, lack of proper paperwork, etc.
Nothing that paracetamol can't fix.
>>64745638Is he okay? :(
>>64746830Motrin, water and clean socks
>>64746833Yes, he finally got over being russian.
