That's not quite true according to a recent UaMoD post.
picrel

Also, not only are defence suppliers now competing with each other to provide the fasters, furthest range on their drones (MoD holds try-outs with bigboy EW and speed/distance/payload scoring systems but winners get rapid battle-testing and production) but Sternenko used his fanbase of TZD moderates to fund the development of a secret new project.

It's probably just a vampire with a starlink and a solar panel or something but you get the idea, EW can only be in some cases and it takes resources to set up and run and it's easily detected so it has to be defended too.
Now Ukraine has drone connectivity potentially anywhere and can strike well behind enemy lines where there's no constant EW.

Ukraine uses MGs and eyeballs to shoot down drones moving faster on a daily basis, the first one shows 20 seconds of flight time and would have been visible to an attentive crew for at least 60. Might work, might not work. The issue is Russia isn't even trying. A NATO, Asian or even 1980's Soviet force would have had at a few MGs and a guy with a MANPAD scanning the horizon 24/7, Russia's tactical Commanders are so incompetent and/or demoralized that they aren't even making obvious token efforts.

It is obvious that this is a force whose members are already convinced that they have lost and can't find the motivation to try and reverse it or even slow it down. This is a textbook example of the sort of sloppiness and inattention to basic security you see in a force on the verge of collapse.

>>65117030
>Ukraine uses MGs and eyeballs to shoot down drones moving faster on a daily basis
You're conflating different types of drones, my retarded Nork obsessed friend. Those "mobile fire groups" target waves of automated pre-configured shahed drones, which are detected ahead of time by radar and other systems and then taken down by various means: MANPADS, machine guns, missile and auto-cannon based SHORAD systems and such. Just a few guys with a machine gun are way less effective without a system which would keep them all notified about how many drones and where they are moving right now. The drone fucking up those helicopters are basically of the ruslim Lancet type drone: it's controlled, way more quiet and way harder to detect.

>>65117030
>Ukraine uses MGs and eyeballs to shoot down drones moving faster on a daily basis
If you mean shaheds then those are much bigger and much louder and are acoustically (if treetop) or radar (if 5-20km altitude) fixed well before arrival.

If you mean FPVs in general then they miss a whole bunch too, friendlies die from drones too. Ukies morale is much higher though for many obvious reasons though, including what you suggest.

>the first one shows 20 seconds of flight time and would have been visible to an attentive crew for at least 60.
They're tiny, very hard to spot in the air and they're coming in hot because the observation drone is a long way off and impossible to notice and so the attack pilot knows his course before he can see his target clearly and can gun it.
They can be made a bit quieter too, you'll notice that we haven't seen the props on ukie FPVs in a long time.

>Russia isn't even trying. A NATO, Asian or even 1980's Soviet force would have had at a few MGs and a guy with a MANPAD scanning the horizon 24/7,
They didn't know that FPVs could target 150km behind the front.
This is a new tactical doctrine that has just been announced with this exact post: >>65116987
It was teased at about a month ago and there was a big fundraiser on Sternenko for a secret weapon that he promised would kill a lot of Russians. He closed that fundraiser after a few days with the goal reached and promised results would come soon.
I think we're seeing the first results now.

>Russia's tactical Commanders are so incompetent and/or demoralized that they aren't even making obvious token efforts.
>this is a force whose members are already convinced that they have lost and can't find the motivation to try and reverse it or even slow it down.

Whilst all of that is clearly true, you should remember that Russia has always been on the point of collapse.
They're adapted to it and anticipate it.

>>65117030
You are looking at the survivability onion the wrong way. The real issue here is that the Ukrainians can fly around with fixed-wing reconnaissance drones deep within Russian territory. You are so focused on "don't be hit" that you forget about the much more important "don't be detected".

The Ukrainians had very similar issues about two years ago, when Russians would fly their Orlans 70km behind the front line. Of course they didn't use FPVs as the strike element, they used ballistic missiles, but we saw several hits on FARPs that looked identical to this. The Ukrainians eventually got better at shooting down the recon drones and increased dispersion, which is probably what the Russians will do in the coming months.

Also I bet there is some very interesting signalling stuff going on here. The observer drone might function as a relay/mothership for the smaller FPVs

Point of order; yes they do and for more than a year. Besides SF operations and partisans solar recharging drones that charge while lurking on the ground have been progressively creeping further and further back for quite some time. If i am not misremembering that is what bonked my beloved Koksans with VOGs a while back.

This is just basic site security. Even if it only helps a fraction of the time (or the security gets targeted instead) it is worth it; MGs and Mobniks are cheap and easily replaced. Those helicopters are not. It is basic SOP, especially when you might very well see a drone going by at a different target.

How many cell phone clips have we seen where soldiers with rifles just stand there filming a low level Cessna type drone just glide on by into a target? If you have enough time to pull out your phone, select film mode and get 30 seconds of footage at something a few hundred feet away you had plenty of time to shoot at it. It never even occurs to these people even though that is what anyone else would do. Where i live if we were at war half the civilians i know would be whipping out hand guns and taking pot shots. Hell, half the town would be spending their days on the roof with shotguns.

They don't even try and their Command can't be bothered to tell them to, even ignoring the moral issues of the war being right or wrong such a pathetic 'people' doesn't deserve victory or even existence.

It's not that ridiculous one in Sochi, it's (one of )the northern one(s).

The palace is another one in the north but the information on putin's palaces isn't well disseminated, probably because fsb sics their FurFag hackers on wherever it's published while actual sleeper agents try to infiltrate their organisations and get it lost in the system and deleted.

We never hear reports of drone attacks on those places, from either side.

>>65117362
>Do you think Ukraine keeps probing those defences?
Does Ukraine have a single reason not to at this point? They've got ammunition production and supplies at a level where they've got the drones to burn, and . . . well . . . they only need to get lucky once.

>>65117379
it's not a valuable target

>>65117379
>Does Ukraine have a single reason not to at this point?
No but it's just the absence of news or even propaganda, from either side. That has me wondering whether I'm noooticing or just mildly intrigued by the absence of data.

We see maps with the paths of drones on them and targets all over western Russia but the palaces are never marked and I don't recall any drone arrows pointing in those areas.

As for who's paying for and increasingly building the drones before selling them to Ukraine who pays with money loaned for effectively free, from the country selling the drones; this is a cheap payback for how much Russia has fucked with Europe over the years.
No reason not to, just surprised I've heard nothing about it.

>>65117397
>it's not a valuable target
Eh, sites with the necessary communications and fortifications to serve as a wartime command centre aren't that common and the ones with the pomp and luxury to satisfy a dictator are even less so.
The less places Putin has to choose between, the easier it is to track him and eventually target him.
Just pinning him down or boxing him in, could be worth quite a lot some day.

those mansions are pure ego bullshit and have zero value in practice, if SHTF Putin will be more likely holed up in a bunker underneath Yamantau than a open-air target
it's simply more efficient and helpful for Ukraine to keep attacking lone ziggers on the frontline and unprotected oil terminals/refineries, it impedes Russia's ability to keep the war going and also brings down morale (see how random Russians reacted on the Internet to oil spills in Tuapse for instance)

helicopters are expensive enough you can probably spare a lookout with some MGs in an AA swivel even if they don't have a very high PK. in this case a lookout or two with any machine gun would've had a decent chance of saving 1-2 helicopters

On one hand, Medvedev is basically a carbon copy of Putin's objectives and opinions. On the other, if Monke croaks I don't think he'd be able to convince Russia to continue the war.

>>65117550
>Medvedev is basically a carbon copy of Putin's objectives and opinions
I think the relationship is that Medvedev would be Petrov's puppet and Putin/Petrov are symbiotic/master-slave sort of pair.
Certainly little would change though the superficial aspects could be quite different. Medvedev might play the PM mentor to a President Petrov Jnr or something like that.

>>65117558
>>65117550
The problem any leader after Putin has is, if the war is still going on they inherit it. And sure, they MIGHT be able to convince the Russian population and elites that it was a fools errand from a senile madman and they're actually being patriotic by ending it and falling back to 1991 borders (apart from Crimea, they MUST keep hold of Crimea), but if they don't they're dead and windowed faster than you'd believe. I wouldn't like that chance myself.
Secondly, and I've already touched on it, no Russian leader can countenance giving up Crimea without a fight. And no Ukrainian leader can give up their claim to it. So someone looking to make peace has to square that diplomatic circle.
To me these are the most plausible reasons why Monke is still in charge, although I could be wrong. Maybe Prigozhin could have done it if he succeeded in his coup.

>>65117558

Then you fell for the act.
That's his role in the clique, he capers and jests for the bydlos and mocks Putin's enemies so that they know they're still on the shit list but he's harmless and sometimes takes the blame for shit that Putin fucked up.

He's survived and prospered this long at the top of the Moscow food-chain, don't assume he's actually a buffoon. He's just weaker than Putin.
If he's allowed to act like an adult again, he could be quite the wise mentor to a Petrov Jnr. Not that he'd need one with his father coaching him on but there's a public political mentor role to played that conveys legitmacy, in addition to the private one by his father's name, both messages are heard in Russia.

This, Medvedev was pretty close to being the no.2 in Russia until the 2012 protests. monke perceived his reforms as a failure and so he got demoted from the top post but since he was competent and still loyal he's allowed an auxiliary role in the court.

He strikes me as the smartest member of the court. This of course precludes him from ever becoming Tzar because Rugandans hate anyone with admirable traits, no matter how slight they may be

By 'decisive action' i was of course referencing his well thought out decision to do absolutely nothing but plant potatoes for half a decade while he thought things over. In chaotic times like this a steady hand (on the rake) isn't a bad thing, his people could have much worse.

For a small FOB you would want a platoon but it could be done with two squads and a officer and....Russia has a monthly deficit of hundreds of platoons worth of troops and none of the replacements have any training so the ones that do would be needed to secure support areas so...I concede the point, they just don't have the guys competent to do the job. Hmmm...Hire more troops? 3 squads for each minor Depot/FOB, unlike Russians they have to be rotated so 2x=6000 Norks to secure a mere 100 sites plus they need full equipment and food...No way Russia can afford that either.

Really the greatest effect Ukraine can have on Russian AD is precisely to keep Putin as paranoid as possible, but never actually strike it with assassination as an objective. Just occasionally poke the estates with a drones/missile to keep them on their toes and tie up AD on useless mansions.

Every piece of AD protection Putin's various shit houses is AD that's not protecting critical infrastructure & military targets. Much more valuable than actually murking the monke imo.

>Russia is too big to have enough trained people to do basic site security
>Don't even have 1000+ 14.5mm batteries
>Russia has lost so many trained troops that it is impossible for them to do low level AA training
>Russia can't incorporate low level AD into their basic training
>Russia is in a AA death spiral

Serves them right, Russia was stupid to not have a 14.5mm density equal to 250K KPVs for an area equal to Alabama or Mississippi. What were they thinking?

What do you mean cumrat? These helos *were* the air defence.

>>65118548
>250K KPVs
250k 14.5mm barrels not individual KPVs, i have done the math for it. It is maddening once you get into the details of it.

Being as bad as the USSR is pretty bad.

>How quiet are these drones where the guy only noticed it a second before he got blown up?
If you look closely, a pilot heard it slightly earlier and legged it and probably survived.
Clearly loud enough for someone working on a helicopter to turn their head at the last second or two and it's coming in at high speed which is somewhere between 150-200kmh.
These are pilots and mechanics, not mobiks...they probably don't have the instinctive fear of droning sounds hammered into them yet (some of them do now).

I prefer Plus-Codes because they tell you where stuff is before you look it up.

I didn't say that it didn't exist, just that there isn't a nice coherent list on Wikipedia, they just have one or two and when I google lists, I get things that are very out of date and that usually assume the Sochi one is operational which I don't believe it is.

What is that mini runway?
It looks like it's meant to be a runway but it's about 80m long at most. Even the lightest business jet usually needs 1km or so.
There's an actual helipad to the north-east of it so it's not just a generous landing pad for helos.

>>65118710
Some UAVs can take off from them. In the FDF we had target planes take off from a sand strip next to the ocean for 12.7mm ITKK training, wasn't more than 50m long from what I recall. (Lohtaja niggas know)

>>65118704
The fun part of a winged drone would be cutting the motor down to an idle or off and then coasting in the last half kilometre or so
>Surprizee!

>>65118548
That's the thing Norktard, Puccians aren't known for thinking that far ahead ever since the So yviet Onion went under.

>>65118714
>Some UAVs can take off from them
Maybe that's part of perimeter defence?
Maintaining an overwatch of some observation drones?
Russia doesn't have strike drones like a predator with a hellfire does it?

I know that, it is just disappointing somehow.

I'm old enough that i watched the first Space Shuttle blow up on live TV and watched President Reagan do the speech afterwards. I sort of remember Pat Buchanan as the White house press guy. I was raised to fear the USSR, i did duck and cover drills as a kid. Russia has turned into such a disappointment for me, why were we ever afraid of these people?

>>65118757
they had Ukrainians and half of Germany on their side

>>65117580
If Russia was wiling to withdraw to 1991 border but keep Crimea I think Ukraine would take it but refuse to recognise Crimea, which Russia would happily accept because they love having disputed territory in their control, like Odessa and Trannynistia

>>65118761
I know! They were so scary or so they seemed and then there was nothing, it all just fell apart and we found out they had jack shit. I remember us sending them food aid and Pepsi using part of the Soviet Fleet as collateral for loans, how did they keep up the joke for so long? And now they want to fight us? They are so fucking stupid, just ask a middle aged Russian what they call a big chicken drumstick and everyone will know everything.

Or at least wait for an actual zigger thread to post them in for lulz before it gets deleted.

New anti-drone ammo just in. From the Russian side, reposted by Ukrainian sources.
>The enemy is testing a "blinding" shotgun case designed to cover the camera lens of FPV drones with a color mixture that hardens quickly on the lens, making it opaque.

This has to be a fucking troll, that is so retarded I can't believe even ziggers would buy that shit.

Though if it's not, I'm looking forward to seeing ziggers getting covered in it in the slightest breeze (because you know those drunk fucks piss up wind too) before getting pasted into the same kind of fine red mist by the drone.

I don't think you want to be that close to the FPV's considering some don't need to actually hit people to go off

>>65118803
...you know, it honestly doesn't seem like that bad of an idea, provided it actually sticks to the camera lens. It looks like it could also double as a short-lived general-purpose colored smoke grenade, for flagging down evac vehicles and such.

>>65118803
honestly can't see this being more effective than just shooting it with an assault rifle

They were always subhuman mongoloid colonian empire, which robbed 20% of the world to prop up its retarded empire and its projects.

Crimea is the reason for all of their initial successes in the 2022 invasion. It's a Damocles sword above Ukraine's head.
