Thanks for all the updates again. I thought the surrender of the Russian soldiers to the drone is interesting. Could this be an advantage to drone warfare, in that it makes surrender easier as there is less risk to the capturing forces? Of course, it all depends on the operators abiding by international treaty and the rule of war.

Russia related so I suppose this is okay here. How to bankrupt your country and enrich yourself beyond measure in one fell swoop. Corruption 101. A luxurious exile for the Burkanabi dictator guaranteed once the inevitable coup happens somewhere down the line.

It looks like Ukraine has taken out (or at least seriously damaged) a military related semi-conductor plant. I’m guessing that will cause shortages down the line.

I don’t know. There are too many videos of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers begging before they are killed by a drone and it’s not against international law to do so, as the drone cannot capture them. On the internet, MAGA who hates Ukraine typically use begging Russian soldiers who are killed by drone as evidence of war crime and why Ukraine is evil and etc. But If you cannot capture them easily. It’s often ugly. Very ugly. But it’s not really illegal.

So it depends on the drone and the situation/area. If they can be taken prisoners, they are. But this only generally happens to infiltrators who are solo. Hundres of such videos of them surrendering and being led by a drone, but at other times they are all slaughtered without mercy if it’s not convenient. There are no real rules for that and situation dependant. Ukraine wants to take maximum number of prisoners, but it’s not always possible, and then it doesn’t happen.
But a drone is not a soldier and often operate far from own positions, where capture isn’t a technical possibility.

Yes, today in full daylight!

Let us see. Honestly this attack too, while militarily critical and vital to target, is also ugly. This was an attack where lots of Russian civilians had to die. I don’t like that. But the plant makes critical components (Kh-101 cruise missiles, Iskander-K missiles, Pantsir-S1 systems, radar stations and other Russian precision-guided weapons) , so must be destroyed. Attacking it in full daylight also throws a real hard psychological blow.

puts on air chair general hat, where difficult moral issues are secondary The attack is absolutely stunning and the entire plant, which is large, is absolutely devastated.

The Russians failed to evacuate the workers, I think :confused:

What a horrible award. Yuck, I’d prefer to stay in the trenches rather than having to endure such a fucking disgusting meal! Couldn’t they come up with something a little bit tastier than this shit?

(Only joking, but still… :wink: )

It’s from the same day they were captured, so I doubt they necesarilly think so (although the situation must have been horrid and beyond humiliating). I can imagine that the taste of fat and sugar must have been pretty awesome after spending weeks with barely any food.

But yes :slight_smile:

This is from back then

I mean, take a look at the video. I too would have liked a Big Mac had I been operated in that hell hole :slight_smile:

More from the Semi-conductor plant.

They literally do not know. They literally travel to Krim, not knowing the situation, because of totalitarian Russian media coverage. I find it amazing, but I supposed you get utterly uncritical and brainwashed living in a country with a media that systematically lies and hides all inconvenient facts.

And then you have the Right-Wingers in the West, the Free Speech crusaders (who often even, lol, look up to Russia, haha). They think OUR governments hides facts from us. I cannot even. We have no real censorship, compare that to the Russian state media (all other media is outlawed and blocked)…
