The scale of #Russian equipment losses in #Ukraine is truly unimaginable. According to @oryxspioenkop, 2041 Russian tanks have been visually confirmed as destroyed or captured thus far through various OSINT sources. If we were to stack them on top of each other assuming an average height of 2.2 meters (for a T-72 tank) they would reach a height of 4.55 kilometers - this is a conservative figure. This also only covers tanks, and does not include the other 8617 lost pieces of heavy equipment, including 2402 IFVs. Source for figures: oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack…

@StockMKTNewz so much hype as per usual, still yet to see anything made by them succeed and hold up to modern combat, their products failed in Ukraine.

Anduril just doubled its valuation and is now worth $61 Billion

@SteveJaynes7 @PeterDClack I actually agree with the argument and feel like nuclear should be the only way, its just that all of this is presented disingenuously for attention using a shitty AI image that has nothing to do with reality, below is an actual example of leading edge erosion in wind turbines

@RocketArchive @PeterDClack Hey Rocket Man, you forgot the address the facts. Wind farms become worthless and an ecological disaster in about 10 years. And, in those 10 years, they don’t work as advertised. IT'S A SCAM. Tip; if you are looking for a dumbass you should start with a mirror.

Many of the onshore wind farms along the coasts of the UK and Denmark are falling apart after only 10 years. A study reveals that energy contributions from wind farms begin to fall sharply after only 10 to 15 years, leaving the skeletons of steel and plastic blowing in the wind. The economic analysis reveals the lifespan of an onshore turbine is not 20 to 25 years, as stated by the wind industry itself, supported by the UK Government. This peer reviewed British study reveals that the energy production of onshore wind farms falls substantially as they get older, due to wear and tear. Energy and environmental economist, Professor Gordon Hughes (University of Edinburgh), carried out the statistical analysis of wind farm performance data in the UK and Denmark. He concluded that load factors, like electricity generated as a percentage of capacity, declined a lot faster than expected, suggesting a baseline 10 to 15 year lifespan. This is when the technical life of most turbines crunch to halt, and become unprofitable to continue. Rising maintenance costs makes them uneconomical. The study found the average UK wind farm's ability to meet electricity demand had fallen by a third after around 10 years, leading to a conclusion that many are fully uneconomic to run after only 12 years. While the wind industry generally forecasts a 25-year lifespan, the data reveals a different reality about the viability of keeping them spinning so long. Many companies now 'repower' (replace old turbines with new ones) long before the 25-year target to maximise subsidies and output. This often ends the lifespan of the original hardware much sooner. The wind farm study is published by the 'Renewable Energy Foundation on the Performance of Wind Farms in the United Kingdom and Denmark, 2012'.

@RocketArchive My image, the study is online, updated in 2020... Put that in your slop bag...

@ishuagra02 @Google If i was the developer that had to work on this id lowkey just throw up

@Google I’m sorry, which car uses this screen shape 😭

The next generation of Android Auto has new visuals that look great on any car screen, premium entertainment and a more helpful Gemini. #TheAndroidShow

@retakeeuropa @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media Its not bro lol

@RocketArchive @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media I think it would be too soon to say that. It's like the 10th time in those awful 4,5 years that we say "ah, things are changing now, Ukraine is finally ..." In the end, Russia ends up catching up with aliexpress drones on a massive scale.

Azov returns to Mariupol. For now, through reconnaissance-strike systems. Pilots of First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine patrol roads up to 160 km deep behind the line of contact. In the cameras of reconnaissance-strike drones: Mariupol and enemy military targets. Enemy forces are using Ukrainian roads in the city and its outskirts to move personnel and military hardware. First Corps Azov continues to establish a "sanitary zone" for Russian logistics. The strike depth will increase. Azov is already patrolling its home city of Mariupol. From the skies — for now. But more is coming.

@PSeacroft44988 @WarMonitor3 The need is plausible deniability and sanctions evasion. The land route going from Russia to North Korea certainly has dozens of sattelites pointed it at any given time & Russia does not want the West to know that it trasferred advanced nuclear capabilities to North Korea.

@WarMonitor3 Given that Russia and N.Korea have a land border, a rail link and have no need to be on a ship near Spain.....I would take this report with a huge pinch of salt.

Insane reports that in 2024 December Russia attempted to export nuclear materials to North Korea on a ship called the Ursa Major which was sunk off the coast of Spain due to suspicious explosions-CNN Wow...

@antiwatnic @bayraktar_1love Looks like it

@bayraktar_1love it's launch from mobile house on truck, right? 😎

Pre-launch preparation of the Ukrainian FP-2 medium strike drone.

@retakeeuropa @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media If we have to be honest in 5-6 years Ukraine is probably going to have its own nuclear weapons. Your argument does not take into account the rapid innovation occuring in this war where Ukraine has the edge, the domino effect has already started.

@TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @RocketArchive @azov_media Russia has been and still is doing the same. It's just a matter of scale. If Western boots don't get on the ground in Ukraine with full equipment, Ukraine is gonna die. Maybe in 5-6 years, with a horrific stalemate front moving 100m by 100m, but it's gonna fall.

@retakeeuropa @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media You must understand a couple points, importantly, Russia is not the USSR. It can't absorb catastrophic losses and shrug it off, the industrial basis doesn't exist. With reform and drone innovation, Ukraine kills 5 pieces of equipment for 1 it loses, and Russia can't replace it.

@RocketArchive @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media Nazi germany was for more innovative than the Ussr. Much smarter. Much better equipped. Well trained. They weren't Soviet orcs, that's enough to say. They still lost in front of the GIANT soviet power of sheer quantity. Same story today. PS, shaheds literally hit Lvov

@retakeeuropa @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media Its simple, whoever is at the forefront of drone innovation wins, for the last 2 years this had been Ukraine. This fact has allowed them to sustain asymmetrical warfare and destroy hundreds of Russian air defence units. It doesnt matter how big Russia is without air defence.

@RocketArchive @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media I can't say that is the case. It still very much is verdun on the frontline, with added strikes far away from the frontlines. Russia can also reach deep within Ukraine with its unprecise missiles. And who wins? Russia. It's just HUGE. 140mil vs 35mil. 30 Ukraines in Russia (m²)

@retakeeuropa @TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @azov_media Buddy, Ukraine is now mass producing OWA UAVs that can reach 200+ kilometers behind Russian front lines, along with many models that can reach 1700km inside of Russia itself. This isn't Verdun, that was 2024, today Ivan is shitting himself, they know they can't keep up.

@TheFlyingFrog @Porc_and_tree @RocketArchive @azov_media Yes, well look at the state of the world's powers. Ukraine is not getting help. It's not the fast paced war of 2022 anymore. It's Verdun now. And Russia is winning at that game, just like it won in 1945 thanks to brute scale and numbers despite pathetic tech and tactics.

@SamsungMobile got some explaining to do

@retakeeuropa @azov_media ???

@RocketArchive @azov_media You can be in denial, but the Ivans really took what they took. Mariupol, Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, it's all theirs. Just stop caring. Ukraine despised those areas anyways. If there's ONE true thing in the shitload of russian lies, it's ukrainian anti-russian laws (at school...)

@ovrcast1 @DylanMalyasov i swear people just love typing shit

@DylanMalyasov So an update version of the Nazi V1?

Russia unveiled Geran-5 at the May 9 parade — a jet-powered OWA drone ~6m long, 5.5m wingspan, with INS/GNSS/LTE nav stack. Read more: defence-blog.com/russia-shows-o…

@PalmerLuckey Send some to Ukraine and lets see some cruise missiles being intercepted ;)

@retakeeuropa @azov_media All of Ukraine will be Ukraines at some point buddy, its how it works

@RocketArchive @azov_media Those stupid kremlin bootlickers actually want all land claimed by Russia to be given up by Ukraine 🤣 So don't call me a Z bot. I'm about to vomit. I want the blood to stop flowing. I know occupied Ukraine is stolen by Russia. But for everyone's sake, just stop it there.

@retakeeuropa @azov_media "Just freeze the frontline."

@azov_media Shut up. Be happy that the frontline is not moving. You're not getting all of this back. Just freeze the frontline. This is all Russian-speaking area anyways, you don't care about those people you call "orcs" or "zombies", so even though this territory is 100% yours, stop.

@bayraktar_1love The Russians are so beyond fucked.

The very first published footage of the combat use of Anubis strike drones against Russian targets in Ukraine

@dim0kq Keep in mind these are the same people that say "drone debris" keep landing on their refineries. Losses are easily in the hundreds of millions.

Remember this operation from Ukraine's Security Service? Yeah, the drones flying from the trucks thing Russia just estimated losses from that operation as $27M. I think there will be more of such operations.
