>>65181806
We've seen multiple occcasions where Russians had decades-old SAMs on the rails, or naval variants.

We can not be sure how the Ukie drones get through.
Do they just deplete one or two launchers and then fly through that gap (or kill the launchers, we have definitely seen them kill launchers with no missiles on the rails)?
Do they just go for places that have no radar coverage?

We have multile vids frmo Russians near targets that quite clearly show one Ukie drone in the lead eating a SAM, with two trailing ones flying into the target, so it looks like they are using the first method to punch through to things like refineries.

But along that highway? Looks like Russian AD is just gone. Even gun systems would be enough to defeat those drones.
Russia should have Shilka and Tunguska, but there is nothing there.

>>65181753
To try and play Doubles Advocate, Anduril is building very different weapons systems from most everyone else. (I am not saying good, I am just saying different.)

Anyone with enough money can spin up a Sneed factory. It's trivial, which is why there are so many of the damn things. But Palmer is trying for the whole weird loitering, RTLS thing as a micro-scale SpaceX and then much larger munitions and wingman. It's not really the same.

I am not going to defend him, results need to be shown, but it's not exactly comparable. Until he does something, he's completely open to derision IMO, but at the same time what he's trying to do could take years before it bares fruit.

>>65181753

It's a combination of a bunch of things. 4 years of war and now with increasing drone numbers, russians have started to raise concerns over ammunition. 4 years of attrition of both systems and crews mean that the lines have gotten thinner and gaps becoming easier to exploit. The hornets themselves seem to be more difficult to detect. The decrease in ammunition and systems along a huge frontline mean that Russia now has to make difficult decisions about where to try and defend, inevitably leaving some areas lacking. The highway is long and would require many AD systems to defend, plus the road is comfortably within range of multiple strike drone types, so they'd start getting hammered too.

>>65181942
Various European arms manufacturing projects are also finally starting to gather speed. Unless China goes into full swing giving lend lease to Russia you're looking at an eventual massive material superiority for Ukraine. That's why Moscow is starting to brief it's propaganda apparatus on how to declare victory at-home. Pajeet factories are also priming retards in the west like commies and magas to espouse Russias great victory

It was also only designed for a short term conflict with NATO jets, they never planned on a long term attritional fight with a nation that can only afford to lob small drones at them. Soviet Doctrine in this case would have been dedicate full mobilization when things looked bad in 2022 and march into Kiev with conscripts, instead monke decided to larp the great patriotic war without American lend lease.

>>65181968
I think it's premature to assume that this trend will continue at this scale. There are countermeasures that the russians could take. They have started to copy Ukraines interceptor drones, so expect to start seeing those deployed more. That being said, it might already be too late and Russia had a much wider front to cover. Summer is looking to be very hot and if this trend continues, Ukraine has the ability to cut off water supply for an entire section of the front.

Again, I don't want to be too optimistic, but the trend has huge potential and the AD losses alone could prove catastrophic for Russia going forward.

There are no countryside roads. USSR couldn't into a European style of infrastructure density.

>>65182135
NTA but there are tons of mud paths to reach the fields, so obviously it would suck, but spreading vehicles out isn't unthinkable. There are still bottlenecks like bridges though.

However I think they'll add cope cages to vehicles, maybe add nets to roads especially near bottlenecks, spread them out what little they can and maybe send some retards with guns to try and take out the drones.

Hegseth is the worst thing to happen to the DoD in 30 years.

Sure, but they could make the war drag on for longer, which is bad for Ukraine even in the best case scenario. Ukraine has a golden opportunity here to really cripple Russia's ability to conduct offensives entirely (already started seeing that with their spring failure) and potentially even degrade their ability to defend significant parts of the front (already being seen in Zaporozhia). However Europe needs to seize on this window and double down.

Russian casualties usually dip during the summer due to greater foliage cover, which also helps them push men forward to capture territory. Russia is currently in a crisis, but if Ukraine can continue their kill : recruitment ratio during the summer that could turn this into a spiral.

I keep hearing rumours that the Ukrainians are planning some kind of offensive for the summer. Obviously this could be Russian doom baiting, but it's not entirely unreasonable if current trends continue.

It is time for the Kerch Bridge to be rearranged.

Which isn't going to happen. China is ideologically opposed to getting involved in others' wars, they know the Russians can't be trusted to repay any loans, and China benefits from a weakened Russia both in terms of removing a potential threat and in gaining a dependent vassal. Russia tried to vassalize China in the 50's through 80's when China was decades behind and it would be poetic for the tables to turn as China advances through the 2020's while Russia devolves to the 1940's they idolize so much.
Russia still has nukes so China does not need to prop them up against a NATO invasion. Russia ideologically capitulating to the West wouldn't be a dire emergency since it would take decades for Russia to recover and it would drain the West. China is quite good at profitably trading with Western countries and a more prejudiced, white supremacist Russia wouldn't be ideal, but could be managed.

>>65183590
>>65183837
Not just a vanity project. They've basically moved a fuck ton of people into Crimea post-2014. The region had a big expulsion of Ukrainians and Tatars, meanwhile not only did the population not shrink but it grew due to how many ruslims moved in from russia. This creates an issue, since if the logistics to the peninsula are hit too much, it won't be able to survive by itself, since the region is unsustainable. There's a fuckin' reason it was made a part of Ukraine - they've had ukies subsidize and develop it, because before late 1950s it was a barely populated (by modern standards) salt-ish desert region.

Now imagine how will it look if the bridge goes down and people will have to escape back into russia (e.g. the retarded tourists who visit it routinely) using the highway going through occupied Zaporizhia and LDNR+.

One of the big reasons for the war was creating a land corridor to Crimea in order to secure water supplies that had been cut off by Ukraine since the annexation. But since the dam was blown, and Ukraine firmly holds the other side of the river, that war aim is a complete failure.

This is retarded naive western rationalization. The corridor was never the goal, this is just something they can tout as an achievement. They wanted (and still want) the whole of Ukraine due to political and cultural reasons. Everything else is cope.

This.

There is a specific canal through Ukraine that brought water to Crimea. It is no where near the "land bridge"

Fun fact - Crimea is naturally atid and was only made farmable after soviets built that canal. One of their many terraforming projects, but one that was a success story. It required dumping tons of water, for many years, into Crimea before the soil because worth it to farm. Those favourable farming conditions have been eroding since the water was cut off and are now GONE.

>Get to know the updated "Shilka". An anti-aircraft self-propelled installation with 4 automatic cannons, which was created to combat air targets and was used in many armed conflicts. Over time, its systems became obsolete, but thanks to 400 million charitable hryvnias (tl note: around $10M), it returned to service: modernized, improved and effective again.
>So let's move on to the interesting things, namely what was done:
>- outdated radar detection stations were replaced with modern and multifunctional ones;
>- instead of an analog computer fire control system, it is now digital;
>- a navigation complex, converters, etc. were added.
>Thanks to this, the target processing time was reduced from 18 to 0.2 (!) seconds, and the maximum detection range more than doubled. And if previously the Shilka could only track one target, now it can accompany up to 20 at the same time.

It's a analog electro-mechanical computer, as in cogs and gears acting on the input signals frm a radar rangegfinder.

I don't think they appreciated being told to evacuate their diplomats.
They can see the writing on the wall as well as everyone else, they're loathe to sabotage relations with Ukraine more than they have to to keep making bank off Russia and bleed NATO to what extent they can.

>>65185563
>Didn't China just warn Russia to stop hitting Kyiv?
Also, Russia just declared that the parliament (Rada) and president's office aren't considered decision making centres and won't be attacked.
The cope is that the parliament doesn't make war decisions and the president is never in his officer (he posts updates from his office several times a day).

>>65185613
This. China is the boss, and being told to do somoething like this equals loss of face.

I'm sure Zelensky will order his forces to not strike the Kremlin and Duma in return, as a gesture of good will.

Also, Putin is in his bunker and the Duma is not making any real decisions anyway, so both buildings are not command centers, anyway.

You're talking about the North Crimean Canal, starting from the Kakhovka Reservoir. Responsible for ~85% of Crimeas water supply.

And also completely fucked now because the ziggers panicked during the 2023 counteroffensive and blew the Kakhovka dam, emptying the reservoir and leaving the canal dry permanently.

>>65184916
It'll take even longer because the dam that fed that canal needs to be rebuilt.

>>65184945
Oh don't worry. The local zigger governor has already closed the road to all civilian traffic anyway, so everything moving there is by default a legitimate military target.

Ukies have been completely silent about what's going on in the whole area for a while now. Rybar's now crying that the local RuAF forces are starved of supply and reinforcements, and that UAF have total drone dominance and are driving wedges into the frontline by annihilating select zigger positions with concentrated localised attacks combining artillery, drones and grounr forces.

Rybar's a zigger blogger. He's been making maps like that since the start of the war. They've become less common on /k/ because nothing really happened terrain-wise for so long.

Nah that's not how plants work. There's not some magic threshold of how long there has to be water in the soil before plants can grow, there just has to be water.
It might be many years before Crimea becomes a big producer of agricultural products but that would be due to the delay in farmers returning, getting equipment, re-creating the farming constructs that enable large-scale modern farming like vendors for parts, seeds, fertilizer, etc, but those are all society-side and not dirt-and-water-side problems.
Look at those crop circles in the Libyan desert, they didn't spend years dumping water on the sand waiting for the optimal sand-water ratio. They just dumped water (and fertilizer) on the sand and started planting.

Nah, he's right and you're retarded. Learn about soil salinity and other such things. The reason you need to pump water into it for years before it starts working normally is specifically to flush out the salt from the soil. When water supply got stopped this desalination process of soil basically not only stopped but reversed, even more so than due to natural reasons because ruslims started actively pumping out water from the ground, which brought up salt in the upper layers of the soil kek.

>>65186321
It is in this case afaik. The entire infrastructure setup in Crimea with the canal was basically creating an artificial water table, rather than providing a full-scale irrigation system for every field. That water table has to refill first now before most of the agricultural system can be brought back into functioning.

>>65186325
By what mechanism would the fields get salty from just sitting there while they finish up the war?

>>65186317
>That's a zigger blogger claiming it, so do take it with a dose of salt.

>>65186352
The fields have already gotten salty AF after 2014. Lookup the degradation of Crimean agriculture after annexation.
It works something like this:
- the peninsula itself is surrounded by a salty sea (duh);
- sea water penetrates from the sea into the ground layers of the peninsula;
- that salty water then goes up to upper levels of the soil due to the so-called capillary effect;
- the salty water then evaporates from the upper levels of soil, leaving the salt in the soil;
- there's not enough natural rain to add fresh water from outside to combat this;
- now run this on a loop year over year, decade after decade, century after century

During soviet times ukies have built a canal to supply a fuck ton of fresh water from the Dnipro river, which among many other use cases was used to dump into the fields, which would "flush out" the saltiness slowly. Then in 2014 this stopped and the ground started rolling back to its salty state.

Then ruslims doubled down on retardation and built a fuck ton of ground water pumping stations, to actively pump water from the ground. And since they were removing water from the ground, that ground soaked up the surrounding salt water from the sea even faster that it would happen naturally.

>>65187109
well you could just use the water diversion again
or use the higher than average levels of sunshine, acces to cheapish energy and low wage cost to set up greenhouses and grow more valuable crops than grains
even without greenhouses orchards could also work since that's already based on splicing and you can simply splice with more salt resistant rootstock
that would of take a couple of years to bear fruit pardon (the pun)

Just remember that Russian milbloggers like to invent big Ukrainian offensives to downplay smaller ones so it looks like they've beaten back huge things losing very little.

>>65187115
to be honest i think theres so much disinformation about the ukraine war that the most solid metric i have for how badly russia is losing is how easily i get called a jewtranny on /v/ or /vg/

>>65187115
You look at the the overall trends and messaging over a period. For the entirely of 2026 Russians haven't had any big advances that they can crow about, no 'we're encircling X and the Holhols will all die there'. They've lost Kupiansk, economy is starting to spiral, Ukraine is raping their oil infrastructure and there's been lots of little push backs on the extreme edges of the front, because Russian infiltration tactics are terrible for defending ground. After Povkorosk Russian offensive ability has been pretty exhausted and they're out of ideas.

>>65187231
There have been some indications that another kupiansk situation is happening in Lyman. Their only real success has been getting infiltration units into konstantinivka. The latter is their maximum effort front and the Ukrainians are feeling the pressure there. That being said if/when the city falls, the russians will have to assault the one immediately next to it, and then the one after that.

That sounds like a solid metric and you should gather data on it and present some charts.
My only question is whether an uptick in jewranny calls is directly or inversely proportional to Russia losing?

We don't know how or even if it works, Russia probably has comms satellites that could be used but presumably not as effectively as star link.
For all we know, it might be a sat phone in there somewhere too, there's a few constellations that could be used though which ones wouldn't b& Russians, I don't know.
