The Black Hornet PRS equips the non-specialist dismounted soldier with immediate covert situational awareness (SA). Game-changing EO and IR technology bridges the gap between aerial and ground-based sensors, with the same SA as a larger UAV and threat location capabilities of UGVs. Extremely light, nearly silent, and with a flight time up to 25 minutes, the combat-proven, pocket-sized Black Hornet PRS transmits live video and HD still images back to the operator. Sold to qualified purchasers.


I could see infrantry deploying these, except they are armed with some type of explosive and used as kamakzi drones.

This was posted a couple hundred pages back:


Not real but probably not far from reality either. Imagine 5000 drones like those dropping from a B-2.

Some videos definitely starting to float around of groups of dead Russians. Not in ones or twos but groups of 4s and 5s... Also some that looks like they had died some time ago (guessing arty fire) and the Russians never attempted to pick up the bodies. Goes in line with what we have already seen.

We will never know exactly how many Russians have died. Even after all of this is done. Because I am 100% positive Russia doesn't even know and I am thinking that they honestly don't want to know. They are throwing away their people at every turn. They still won't admit the MOSKVA sinking and casualties resulting from that.

I've seen several videos from Russians complaining that they don't get any benefits (not even the sack of potatoes) for MIAs. Combine that with Ukrainian media showing boxcars full of Russian corpses that Russia refuses to take back and I'd say it's highly likely that Russia, as per their usual MO, is trying to avoid officially recognizing as many KIAs as possible.

If they refuse to acknowledge any of these things officially then in 50 years they can pretend it all never happened this way and tell the Russian citizenry that it's evil Russophobic western propaganda.

At work we occasionally send people to Dover Airforce Base's medical examiner's facilities. One of the guys who went before Covid was telling me about their last trip this afternoon and he was nearly moved to tears three years later discussing the dignity with which they treat the remains of our soldiers.

It's humbling to realize Dover has the capacity to perform over 25 simultaneous autopsies at a time.

Then there are the Russians who pile their dead up like cords of wood.

Haven't we been communicating exactly what our response to a nuke would be on a fairly frequent basis? I keep reading that we've been very upfront about it.

Direct enough to let them know they'd be in a world of hurt, direct enough to let the rest of the world that we would not participate in nuclear escalation, yet vague enough that they can't feel comfortable pushing our boundaries.

They're probing with this dirty bomb bullisht.

Lol. I guess this is the extent of "le resistance" in Russia. Better than nothing?

Edit: Removed because I couldn't get the Twitter content filter to pop up on the tweet and there was copious profanity.

The gist is that gay rape is an institutionalized element of the Russian military that they openly admit to and are proud of in a weird way. They feel like it's completely different from consensual man on man relations because it's against one's will and therefore ok and not actually gay.

This is why you see stories of Ukrainian civilian males being raped in occupied areas. The Twitter post was of conversations from Russians online justifying it as acceptable and not the same as "western degeneracy". It's pretty messed up.

European gas prices had soared above 340 euros ($332.6) per megawatt hour in late August, but this week dipped below $100 for the first time since Russia cut supplies. Before the war, the price had been as low as 30 euros.


Over 60 huge ships filled with natural gas are waiting off the coast of NW Europe to unload.

Isn't Ukraine cataloging and posting pictures / details online of those they can identify? Russia blocks / filters the interweb, but that info will get to the Russians somehow. It won't be 100% but it should eventually give Russians a sense of the true number.

That's good, but let's see when it's 30 degrees in Berlin and not 60.

Someone should point out to him that they have already destroyed many many cities and still getting pushed out.
