This is going to be the same as last night. Amerimutts and twitter waking up, suddenly stories of Russian forces being absolutely obliterated start popping up only to be walked back tomorrow morning.

Depends on what drones they send. There are different types for different operational environments.

There are drones that can function in dogfights, but the very nature of remote-controlled weapons with operators who are far less trained than actual pilots means that they will be less effective than actual jets. Russian AA is also debatably the best on the planet, so I'm sure they would relish the chance to turn them on any drones approaching Russian held territory.

Zelenskyy is just hanging out in Kiev taking videos with his friends, doesn't seem smart.

Making himself a martyr is a strong move against such brutality. The bear will be brutal regardless, may as well go out standing.

How many people are using those free AKs to fight Russia?

You also have to wonder how many of these random AKs are going to be left over at the end of this situation and how many of them are going to end up smuggled into western europe. Could end up with a repeat of all the happenings we had a few years ago over here.

lol, AKs have been smuggled all over EU already. Ukrainian AKs is like a grain of sand.

It's a matter of money and destination. If you can pay, you can get it.

Not sure about that. One thing we have seen as this has progressed is that Russia isn't sending their best. Lots of older gear and conscripts. They have stuff that can sneak around old S-300s.

This is hours old and I am not sure if was ever posted here but the Nuclear Regulation Service of Ukraine has data that says there is an increase of radiation in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
Nuclear Regulation Service.png
Ukrainian to English Translation (Google Translate): Data from the Automated Radiation Control System of the Exclusion Zone, which are available online, indicate that the control levels of gamma radiation dose rate (red dots) have been exceeded at a significant part of the observation points. Due to the occupation and hostilities, it is currently impossible to establish the reasons for the change in the radiation background in the exclusion zone.

I understand that already, almost all the guns terrorists use over here originally come from Ukraine or Romania. My point is that with the government giving them out for free to whoever wants one along with the general lack of stability and order in the region, a lot more are going to find their way on the blackmarket.
