So the Israelis are sending some sort of missile defense system to the Ukraine. Presumably not the Iron dome. What does this mean in terms of strategy for the RAF if they can no longer launch drones en mass as they currently can?

It doesn’t really mean a lot.

There’s a war with Lebanon brewing and the chosen need all the missile defense they can get.

They may symbolically send a few, if even that, which will be posted in Kiev or the surrounding area.

If it starts to get troublesome, the Russians can deal with it in the way they deal with Patriots. Send a few kamikaze drones to lure it out, then drop the Kinzhal.

Can we please refrain from saying "Ze Germans" when we're just a vassal of the US.

We can't even down a drone. Let some Bundeswehr clowns talk about shooting at a bridge to get some DEI points. None of that is a threat to Russia.

I'm with you. How about we just use the double parenthesis instead of the triple parenthesis to denote Shabbos goyim instead of full blown Jews? As in "((Germans)) was planning to blow up the Crimea bridge"

Probably something that's already been mentioned here, but its still funny how the pro-Ukrainian subreddit r/UkraineWarVideoReport barely even posts combat footage anymore, while the pro-Russia subreddit r/UkraineRussiaReport posts new videos every day of Ukrainians losing.

If you wanted to give the Ukrainians the benefit of the doubt, you're not likely to have much good combat footage in a defensive situation. However, that only really applies if you decide to conveniently ignore their consistent counter attacks, both large and small.

Wonder how much of it is cultural expectations of the intended Audience - Outside of drone footage, its difficult to have combat footage where the recording guys aren't in danger or worse, getting killed while killing the enemy. Russia seems to have no aversion to showing the danger their soldiers are in, showing them dying, or showing the enemy being killed. I wonder if the western audience is just reacting a lot more poorly to this content. I can see NAFO people seething over watching "The Good Guys" being hurt or killed. Maybe Ukraine itself doesn't want video circulating of the dangers of combat, less their conscription efforts see more resistance.

As in to get over the river? Depends how big/deep it is and whether they can capture any crossings intact. If its crossable unassisted, could be breached at points within a month. If it requires bridgelaying or engineering work, they might just hold it as a bulwark and consolidate at other points - Ukrainian forces will have just as much of a shit time trying to assault across a river, and there may be easier pickings.

Assuming that it does have a significant impact on Drone strikes, which I doubt considering the token and piecemeal nature of advanced system deployment so far, it would only serve to slow down attacks on strong points, and maybe reduce some pressure/threat on logistical routes. They'll just continue to shell targets in conventional manners, and focus drones where they are still effective. There isn't any immediate pressure for them to break through at any given point, so taking longer to crater every possible hardpoint won't be an issue for Russian forces.

A reminder, in case you needed it, that the east coast elite tested nuclear weapons up-wind of Las Vegas, tested biological warfare on SF, and were perfectly fine with lobotomizing wayward Kennedy daughters if they get too uppity.

Don't even ask about eugenics.

If you are holding on to the notion that the Cathedral gives one flying fuck about your life, I suggest you get terminally drunk and listen to whalesong or some shit.

They really don't give a shit

Edit: I feel I should point out they all have property NOT in the US, be it NZ or AUS or Fiji or fucking Chile.

I don't think anyone anywhere is arguing that the elites care about us but there's a difference between shadowy government shenanigans and nuclear extinction. At the end of the day, they still need to live on the Earth and I'm sure they'd rather see the sun than spend the next 80 years in a bunker.

Besides, if we embrace such doomerism then why continue the thread? No point in it. I, for one, want to continue to laugh at Ukraine's failure.

It's not even Iron Dome it's a few early warning radars

Man, for the Ukrainians sakes, I hope that's some real rear echelon shit. If those boys are anywhere up near the front feeling safe and happy enough to pull that shit, Ukraine's fucked.

I think it’s up near the line of contact.

See those loudspeakers? That’s a propaganda van. Likely Russian.

They drive those around near the LOC and tell the other side to surrender.

Someone else said it’s an old video though.

Yeah, Israel need their hardware for themselves.

I also doubt it’s any permanent break with their existing policy. As I’ve said before, Russia and Israel have some strategic interests in common (though probably not as many as Iran and Russia) and Russia can make life very unpleasant for Israel.

(And the other way around).

If anything, I’d reckon that it’s connected to Gaza and Israel’s need to get Biden off their back. They’re demonstrating that they’re totally good allies, so please don’t take away our bombs Mr Biden! Throwing the Ukrops a bone and loudly banging an empty barrel is part of that.

I could be wrong of course as with anything. If so, I’d expect to see reports about S400 delivered to Teheran or Russian nuclear assistance, in a few months.

If Trump wins is that the end for Ukraine I haven't been following the race closely but I don't imagine he's keen on giving Zelninsky more money ps I thought the ukie cope thread on the farms was bad ukie cope Reddit is even worse.

trump worships kikes as much as biden so of course he will support ukraine and israel, but what are his chances of winning since i heard 3 states erased his name from the voting ballot which I assume more states will follow up on that?

Did not happen lol. All those decisions are stayed pending SCOTUS judgement.

What a lot of people forget about Trump is that the neocons tried to drag him into Syria, but he resisted and only did a mostly symbolic bombing.

He also worked towards pulling out of Afghanistan.

Sure, he’ll support Israel, but all his instincts are against more support for Ukraine.

Heck, he’ll probably pull the rug under Z man just because all the dems live him.

His odds are pretty good. There’s no way SCOTUS will let it stand. Theoretically it’s mean that one state can fix the outcome of any presidential election.

You can’t have a presidential system, if every state (theoretically) make their own electional slate.
