More likely Russia is considering an even larger scale attack than previously launched with conventional missiles/bombs. They can cause massive destruction without triggering the outside intervention that nuclear employment would.

One of the Russians taking on those dumb shows said they had enough bombs left to just begin carpet bombing?

Not sure I believe that.

Assuming Russia still has the capability to attempt that, their window of opportunity is rapidly closing with NATO's plans to rapidly upgrade Ukraine's air defenses.

You'd assume they have a massive conventional weapon like that. More powerful than a tac nuke but without the implications if they used it. Whether or not they could manage to successfully deliver it to a chosen target within Ukraine would be a different question altogether.

Right. Was just trying to think of what weapon deployment might lead to such an order where one could think it was preliminary to nuke. The China one especially is significant-- they would have inside info.

Not quite:

https://blog.bliley.com/the-differences-between-the-5-gnss-satellite-network-constellations#:~:text=GLONASS%20position%20accuracy%20is%205,of%20coverage%20compared%20to%20GPS.

The Difference Between GLONASS and GPS GNSS

For starters, the US GPS network includes 31 satellites, while GLONASS uses 24 satellites. The 2 systems also differ somewhat on accuracy. GLONASS position accuracy is 5-10m while GPS is 3.5-7.8m. Therefore, GPS outweighs GLONASS in accuracy as lower error numbers are better.

As far as frequencies go, GLONASS operates at 1.602 GHz and GPS at 1.57542 GHz (L1 signal).
When used alone, GLONASS doesn't provide as strong of coverage compared to GPS. In fact There are no significant advantages of GLONASS over GPS.

GLONASS is a great back-up for GPS. When GPS signals are lost (like when you're between tall buildings) GLONASS has your back.

I listened to some info on it earlier this year that indicated it to be inferior but I don't recall the specifics. Will have to go back and hunt for that info if nobody else knows offhand.

EDIT: Waffles beat me

It should be noted that they're making sure to blame their obviously failed missile launch that ended up in an apartment building on Ukraine.

They're having issues with conscripts going into alcohol withdrawal & DT's? That would be the most Russian thing ever

"We travel all the time and feed our conscripts." Near St. Petersburg, wives pass thermoses with meatballs over the fence.

This all really is… odd. Weren't most citizens of most countries told to get out at the beginning of the year? Very, very strange.

They were at the beginning of the war. In the first days, Chinese citizens attempting to flee Kyiv were told to put Chinese flags on their cars so the incoming Russian troops would recognize them.

After Russia withdrew away from Kyiv a lot of embassies reopened and I'm sure some foreigners returned.

Nuke


Doubtful. Russia and Belarus have announced "training" in Belarus. Russian troops are arriving there in significant numbers. The last "training" exercise resulted in an invasion. My guess is they will attempt a huge aerial bombardment followed by another attempt at a ground offensive.
