Mr. T (MrT4) said:this monowhell for stretcher costs cca 3000Eur , which means can be sold to Ukraine for 10+K$ given how things are being sold for now.

Lithuania predicts Russia can continue Ukraine war at current intensity for another 2 years:
China studying Ukraine war for lessons to apply to Taiwan; their biggest concern is Starlink sats and missiles like Javelin / Stinger. They also view drones as crucial for 'kicking in the door' of Taiwan.
Urge development of weapons to destroy / blind / suppress Starlink, and methods of protecting against Javelin and Stinger. Also realize the need to seize Taiwan ASAP before a US/Western response can coalesce.

Hum, "storing" magazines on the bare ground and letting mud getting into them is not helping reliability, for sure.

Hard to understand why someone published this.

I say its the abusive use by the soldiers. To the point where its deliberate neglect calling for disciplinary measures.
The weapons are covered in mud as are the magazines.
The performance of the soldiers shown in this video is one of the worst I have ever seen. I would expect much better from trained conscripts especially if they have some experience.

Interesting that dumping fuel is seen as a way to down the drone. I wonder if that is really a viable method?
The US military's European Command has released footage of the encounter between a US surveillance drone and Russian fighter jets over the Black Sea. The new...
I guess the Russians thought they were being clever and didn't expect their actions to be recorded on video...
