What do we know of Ukraine's new stealth drone? It looks like it is jet-powered and has some minor resemblance to the Czech Nightray. The wing configuration looks like a low-observable design, but I don't know how useful that is with that tail.
>>65387870do you really need stealth to wreck zigger amazon?
>>65387870Hopefully nothing.
Post the shitty bideo OP.
>>65387927as hilarious as this is, i don't see how this has a material impact on the war
>>65387937Thats because you never even looked
Could it be a flying-wing design to increase range more than to avoid radar?
>>65387937it probably won't be that great. russia has wiped out actual military logistics hubs in the past (as opposed to civilian marketplaces where 0.001% of goods are military-adjacent) and the war is still ongoing.
>>65387959I think that's the most likely answer. They've been gearing up for longer-than-long-range strikes for a while now. This new design is probably the end result of that process.Or it's stealth and the both of us are talking out of our puckering starfishes.
>>65387962Ukraine has the entire EU still intact as a logistics hub though.
>>65387964>Or it's stealthstealth on drones is extremely stupid. anything that has to hit its target has to get close enough that point defense radars will detect it. stealth is useless against interceptor drones and man-operated machinegun turrets anyway
>>65387962Their objective is mostly to bring the war closer to home for the guys in Moscow. I was reading analysis saying that Wildberries routes a significant portion of Russia's GDP, and it is propped up by several important banks. If it goes bankrupt, it could have systemic economic effects much more relevant than burning a few spools of optic fibre amid all the plastic Temu shit.
>>65387972Yeah, true. Most likely a newer long-range design, then.
>>65387984>so it's terror bombingTerror bombing would be hitting random apartments, not systemic enterprises like oil refineries and logistics.>if it failed against ukraine, why would it work on russia?The economic damage Russia can inflict on Ukraine is essentially negated by the fact they are propped up by the EU (11 times Russia's GDP). Ukraine has been in "total war" mode since 2022, I believe military spending is around 40% of their GDP at the moment.
>>65387937>>65387984The thing to keep in mind is that Russian military logistics are so slapdash that they're very often reliant on crowdfunding from the folks at home. Couple that with the fact that a certain commodity we used to think of as just being for fun has proven to have a military application in this war (recreational drones) and Wildberries IS for all intents and purposes a Russian military supplier.
>>65387937If WB collapses on its debt, it threatens the stability of Russia's second largest bank, which threatens the banking system.
>>65387937Ukraine obviously can't invade Russia wholesale and force them to withdraw from Ukraine, so instead they are trying to make the war as expensive and unpopular in Russia as possible. This is a fairly obvious step towards that goal - it's certainly possible that it just makes them more angry at Ukraine specifically, but that's a gamble they've chosen to take.
>>65387984If Ukrainians lose they get genocide, deportations, pillaged of all wealth and conscripted for the next war. If Russians lose they get their ego bruised and can't go to Crimea on holidays anymore.Also you're really stretching the meaning of "terror bombing" you fucking faggot. Ukrainians lose hundreds of civilians per month, Russians lose their orders on Wildberries.
>>65387984>it’s terrorbombingRussia was hitting civilian areas with intent to kill as many civilians as possible, there’s many instances of them intentionally doubletapping hospitals in an attempt to kill civilians, make it harder to heal civilians, and also kill first responders.Russia has intentionally struck parks and other recreational areas where people gather on holidays in order to kill as many civilians as possible.Russia has organised drone hunts on civilians in an attempt to kill as many people as possible.Russia has intentionally struck power infrastructure in the heart of winter multiple years in a row in an attempt to kill as many civilians as possible.Ukraine is trying to get russia to fuck off back to it’s shithole by ruining russia’s economy. It’s not even remotely terrorbombing LMAO.
>>65388008>Ukrainians lose hundreds of civilians per monthUnavoidable collateral damage like during every peacekeping operations)))>Russians lose their orders on Wildberries.LITERALLY HITLER >:O
>>65388017Civilian casualties as reported by Ukrainian authorities and the UN are remarkably low for a conflict of this magnitude.Power infrastructure is a perfectly valid military target.
>>65388044literal zigger post
>>65388044>Power infrastructure is a perfectly valid military target.Guess what's on the menu for the upcoming winter in Russia.
>>65387927As much as ziggerzon needs to burn, sort of got to figure anything which reduces the signature on the way helps it being intercepted. Numbers is one thing, but numbers on target as well can have that little multiplier over time as well with less missions needing a followup or making more units available to go fuck some shit up elsewhere that needs burningPsychologically if you also remove a lot of the ability to successfully intercept anything, the AA cucks are going to be going without even an excuse to turn up to work tomorrow and watch shit being fucked. You're sort of taking that last fart of a chance that they might get enough notice to assume the position in the chair and get ready, that readiness being diminished also means more get through.
>>65388057I know what won't be>complaints on the internet about being cold!
>>65388065Is this a real russian? That's novel. Usually it's an indian.
>>65388065Kill yourself
>>65388017>Russia was hitting civilian areas with intent to kill as many civilians as possiblewrong. if russia actually targeted civilians then the civilian casualty numbers would be orders of magnitude higher than what ukraine reports. (note that millions of ukrainian civilians are within range of russian glide bombs, and that russia spams thousands of glide bombs each month)
>>65388072fuck of zigger, kill yourself
>>65387972>stealth on drones is extremely stupidNo it's not. Please tell me the detection range of any Russian radar for a target with an average RCS of 0.001m^2?>anything that has to hit its target has to get close enough that point defense radars will detect itThe point of stealth isn't to not be detected: the point is to delay detection as long as possible to where you're right on the target before the enemy can detect you with a search track radar, identify you as a threat, hand you off to a targeting radar, and launch an intercept on you. This is a basic fucking kill chain, and it isn't automatic, nor is it moving at the speed of light. Stealth gives you that valuable 1 minute after initial detection to hit your target before the enemy engages you. And with the way Russia runs it's military it probably gives you 5 minutes of added time before engagement.>stealth is useless against interceptor dronesThose interceptor drones still need to be queued by a search radar as to where the target is and identified as an actual target, and they take time to launch to altitude and speed before interception.>and man-operated machinegun turrets anywayThose can barely hit the broad side of a ocean liner, let alone a 1m^2 UAV traveling at 200MPH+.In conclusion, you have absolutely zero idea about what you're talking about, and pulling copium out of your blown out asshole.
>>65388065>wrong!The threats of genociding Ukrainians have come from high-ranking Russians themselves.>absolutely none of this shit has happened in crimea so why would it happen in the rest of ukraine?Crimea was taken with relative ease so Putin didn't feel the need for mass-scale repraisal against the civilian population.
>>65388065Its what happened last time Russia occupied Ukrainepast behavior predicts future behavior
>>65388065>we dindu whatever those bad words areOk turdie.Here's a funny exercise. You can go through the ICC list of arrest warrants and between the random African and other brown warlords, you can have fun finding the Russian leadership. I think it's rather telling.
>>65388072glide bombs tap out within about 40km of the LOAC, at this point they barely reach to the edge of the grey zone. That area has been evacuated for years now, which is the only reason we don't hear about glide bombing attacks against civiliansthe weapons Russia has that can reach civilians are its one way attack drones as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, all of which have been repeatedly documented being used against exclusively civilian targets such as that thousand year old UNESCO heritage listed church they hit a little while back
>>65387927>do you really need stealth to wreck zigger amazon?I wouldn't think so but you probably do to hit satellite downlinks around Moscow and other high value targets. >>65387937>as hilarious as this is, i don't see how this has a material impact on the warGive it time to really bite. Adding stress to the economy is a slow burning strategy.
>>65388065>none of this shit has happened in crimeaAll of that shit happened in Crimea
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>65387927Well yeah, look at the protection installed beside the warehouse
>>65387962>russia has wiped out actual military logistics hubsa-ha-ha-ha-ha
>>65387937>i don't see how this has a material impact on the warBecause you're naive, sheltered and retarded. RU economy is shitting itself for quite a while already. From the growing number of defaults on bonds to regional budgets going bust, from the state not finding buyers to its newest bonds to people slowly taking away money from the banking system. Shit's bad and it visible in daily life, no matter how much RU goyvernment tries to hide and obscure things. WB getting fucked isn't just salting the wound but doing "death by a thousands cuts" type of shit. WB is like more than half of the russian retail sales, it's a company which grew to fucked up scale very fast, including due to pro-regime oligarchs getting into it (lookup the "RWB" merger, Suleiman Kerimov and the Russ outdoor advertising company). It inherited fucked up levels of debts, compared to its assets and profits. Each warehouse going up into smoke isn't just products being migrated into the cloud, but it basically erases the small profitability which the company even had. Without financial support, WB will go down. And once it does, it will drag down VTB (second largest RU bank, state owned corporation) or the state will have to print a fuck ton of aid money to save them. Money which they don't have to even plug the record levels of deficit. And on top of that, WB basically acts as the unofficial supply arm of the army. Most russian soldiers have to buy stuff from there to compensate for what the state gigaboomers don't provide, don't provide enough or just provide shit.
>>65387984>so it's terror bombingMy brown friend, the store literally has a "everything for the SMO" category in it, please kill yourself.
>>65387931>supernova back at posting assloads of watermarks
>>65388065>absolutely none of this shit has happened in crimeaIt literally started happening on day one in occupied crimea and donbas lmao. Shit, rusniggers couldn't help themselves and started doing this in occupied ukraine back in march 2022. Did you forget the mass graves, torture chamber (including for kids), bodies being burned and dumped, kids getting kidnapped, people getting deported into siberia? Sheeeeat, there are thousands of "civilian POWs" (basically hostages) in RU prisons, which were randomly captured in ukraine.
>>65387870>It looks like it is jet-poweredAre there any alternatives to jet engines for stealth aircraft? Props seem like an anathema for stealth.
>>65388329a rocket engine doesn't require exposed intake in the front
>>65388329Rockets?
>>65387937It makes ziggers seethe like nothing else, because suddenly and through no fault of their own they are getting dragged into war between Moskow and Kiew :(
What is this I hear about Ukraine hitting 8 AD and RADAR station simultaneously? Don't they...need those?Thankfully Russia can retaliate by hitting a MCDonald's
>>65388315Had.
>>65388329>Are there any alternatives to jet engines for stealth aircraft?Hybrid propulsion ala US DNI's Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) Little Horned Owl (LHO), AFRL and IARPA's Great Horned Owl (GHO), and DARPA's XRQ-73A Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion AiRcraft Demonstration (SHEPARD). You use an quiet, ICE engine to power the electrical motors that spin the propellers in ducted fans to produce an almost silent propulsion system. And at 5000ft flight altitude, on the ground it probably is silent. The US has been working on this for a decade+.https://www.iarpa.gov/images/research-programs/LHO/LHO_slicksheet_12022021.pdfhttps://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app2/q-72.htmlhttps://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app2/q-73.html
>>65388372roasted quarter pounder xaxaxa))) in the ass))))
>>65388341>>65388344Rockets sound like God ripping a protein fart bare-assed on a leather chair. Not even Igor who snuck into the squadron's radar cooling fluid and drank a months supply could stay passed out with a rocket powered drone zooming around.>>65388393
Turbojet UAV called "Bravo".Range - up to 2000 km.Warhead - 100-200 kg.Speed - 650-700 km/h.

>>65388574He's gonna take you back to DonbassTo die and have a drone blow up your ass
>>65388288Lmao this image by itself should dismiss any "muh neutral civilian population" cringe from ziggers.
>>65388574I want to see Farage bullshit his way out of this one.
>>65387870>stealthRetard take.
>>65387962You're talking as if the ziggers haven't been trying to blow up ukrainian civilian infrastructure including logistics hubs for four and a half years now. That makes you either a zigger or a generic retard.
>>65388623>muh neutral civilian populationLet me do a manual translation of this russian meme, which is written in untranslatable fucked up way.
>>65388515Fucking saved (I love the "tea" written on the vodka cup), but I'd still like a surprised one to use for "how oh how could this happen to me?" spoiled Moscofags and fish-lipped Natashas shocked that there is a war going on.
>>65388669>russian meme, which is written in untranslatable fucked up wayCan I have the original to deepen my knowledge of Russian memespeak?
>>65388288I still don't understand muh Z and muh V, why pick random latin characters to represent your Soviet Russian revanchism?
>>65388969They were used as markers in the very first days of the war to distinguish Russian from Ukrainian units. They used Z/O/V depending on the axis of advance, I believe.
>>65388978I remember the early invasion and the origin of Z but it's just such a nothing marker to style your shit after. Much like the Russian state.
>>65388068>dramatic_impact.wav
>>65388985I assume they chose it because, since it wasn't in their alphabet, it was unlikely the Ukrainians would also use it.
>>65388969They had to mark their shit before the invasion to be able to differentiate their own forces from ukie forces. This is not the first time something like this happened. They also drew stripes during the 1968 Czechoslovakia invasion. This was a lesson from the 1956 invasion of Hungary, where soviets shot themselves often because both sides had the same tech. Well, they chose a number of signs (Z, V, O and Ø) for different groups of invading forces. The most popular Z and V got retroactively turned into propaganda symbols when the war bogged down and the regime needed something to rally the people around.
>>65388992It were chosen because of shapes which are easy to differentiate and easy to draw by a retarded conscript with a painbrush in 2 seconds. And which wouldn't be present in regular markings.
>>65389042>easy to draw
>>65388594>I don't remember his nameI'm sure you mean John Oliver though I haven't heard that he has drug problem. He does have a $30m salary, just re-signed a contract for '27 and married a smoking hot wife so I think he'll be ok.
>>65388873>I love the "tea" written on the vodka cupRussians drink as much tea as the bongs, that's probably actually a mug of tea.
>>65388619Properly chuckled.
