Could it be that Ukraine has a technological advantage over Russia?

Brains, heart, care

Great news! I have waited for weeks of an update of newly shot down ruzzian aircrafts. This is a clear warning to ruzzian pilots.

Great news & I hope the Ukrainian military will do it as many times as necessary to ensure Putin & his forced labor soldiers are sent back to their motherland. Enough is enough

С новым Годом, Украина!

What’s the music in the video?

Hit them again, and again.

L'Ukraine est en train d'acquérir une véritable expertise en conception et production a grande échelle d'armement moderne. Après la guerre le pays pourra devenir un fournisseur de l'Otan mais aussi de ses nouveaux alliers tel que la Syrie par exemple.

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social did you watch the video? I agree it is yet more evidence that the US needs to radically transform the DoD. But people blown out of the sky and plunging to their deaths is intrinsically horrible.

I'd love to see these using some kind of wire-guided missile. Flares would be useless. That has to be terrifying for their helicopter pilots.

spudrazor.bsky.social•60 days ago

Not quite the same thing, but this is similar. I’m very surprised.

If the wire is going back to the drone, which is bouncing around in waves while being piloted remotely over a staticky satellite link, I don’t think it would work that well. You’re much better off with fire and forget and the seeker in the missile.

Impressive

terry-157.bsky.social•67 days ago

Great

The innovation from Ukraine's military is impressive. This is why I'm still certain they'll win the war. Ukraine is constantly adapting and innovating and using their collective smarts to stay alive and stay a sovereign nation. Russia just keeps doing the same thing - throw as much infantry...

caliwash83.bsky.social•68 days ago

as they can into each frontal assault and hope something changes. I know that's overly simplistic, but Russia has learned so little from this war because they don't value independent thinking, they don't value human life. They just think their people are disposable hammers and sovereign nations...

caliwash83.bsky.social•68 days ago

and people are just nails with no value or purpose.

For example, they don't bomb areas indiscriminately, they intentionally target and attack innocent civilians in Ukraine, same as they did in Syria and all over Africa. They're a broken nation of immoral and apathetic people.

jodibp.bsky.social•63 days ago

I try not to lump Russian citizenry with the regime. But I’m hopeful when I read your thread. 🤞🏼

caliwash83.bsky.social•63 days ago

That's how I felt about Russian citizens at the start of the war, but a few articles similar to this one convinced me the problem runs deep and the entire population is culpable and accountable:

I think those opposing Putin are on the right side of history...

caliwash83.bsky.social•63 days ago

But, even people like Kara-Murza and Yulia Navalnya try to diminish the accountability to Putin only. There are millions of Russian citizens supporting the war simply by going to work and manufacturing the uniforms, helmets, guns, planes, electronics, rations, etc used by their war machine.

Perfect explanation.

californianorma.bsky.social•68 days ago

I just woke up. I thought it said drowns. 😎😇😎

singerstevet.bsky.social•68 days ago

I pray this war ends soon🙏

lucydemo.bsky.social•66 days ago

Excellent. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇸

resistoligarchy.bsky.social•65 days ago

Good.

statsbg.bsky.social•68 days ago

Congratulations for the shoot-down! Launching air-to-air infrared homing guided missiles from Ukrainian unmanned boats (drones) is a great development. In 2023 it is dangerous to be in a military helicopter in this war. A combination of drones and guided missiles is working much better.
