@oiajz_ @LOrakle @HoyasFan07 Drones are changing warfare in the sky as well. Relatively cheap Shaheds can wipe out frontline airfields and the electricity grid in the first days after a war begins. The real question will be who dominates the skies by the end of the first month.

@MaxVerentsov @LOrakle @HoyasFan07 Yes exactly. If there was ever a full-scale confrontation between NATO and Russia, one of the most important things for NATO will be to destroy the Russian air defence, as that poses the biggest threat to NATO's ability to effectively use its airpower.

Poland's army is superior. But Poland is absolutely not more militarily powerful than the UK or France. The UK and France both have a large modern air force, a blue water navy, carriers, SSNs, SSBNs, nuclear weapons, and some of the world's best SOF.

@GAU_8biubiu @Osinttechnical Just a matter of time. After they will have more pilots you will have a lot of confirmations.

@Osinttechnical Is there a video or photo confirmation of a kill?

Hezbollah continues to use fiber-optic FPV attack drones to target Israeli armor in southern Lebanon. Seen here, a pair of FPV strikes that hit Israeli Merkava Mk.4 MBTs. First one hits one of the tanks in its track, while the second hits the heavily armored turret front.

@oiajz_ @LOrakle @HoyasFan07 Sure, air superiority is still a decisive factor in full scale wars. But it is very hard to achieve if both sides have deep layered anti air defenses, probably unreachable in wars between comparable forces.

@MaxVerentsov @LOrakle @HoyasFan07 The environment in which drones can be employed in such a way can only exist if neither side can make good use of air power. If Russia had air superiority over the frontline areas in Ukraine they would be able to effectively target drone operators which would enable ground ops.

@Augustusburg1 @HoyasFan07 Hope it not a reliable strategy

@MaxVerentsov @HoyasFan07 No, I expect the russian colonial empire to collapse and disintegrate. They are economically extremely on a downward spiral

@Augustusburg1 @HoyasFan07 When war in Ukraine will ends in half a year Russia will be able invade Poland. On 3rd month will start Berlin defence operation. No one will give you that time.

@MaxVerentsov @HoyasFan07 You are right that we have to start with training and integration into military units immediately. But assembly lines for drones can be built in a few weeks. At least here in Germany Makes no sense to build up large stockpiles of drones, because technology is changing too fast.

@Augustusburg1 @HoyasFan07 Assembly lines exist, but not the logistics for true mass production, nor the trained personnel. Drones are worthless without pilots, pilots without experience and specialized equipment and even with all of that, they must operate as part of a coordinated efforts.

@Augustusburg1 @HoyasFan07 Five years if you start right now. Or about a year, if you enter a full scale war. And even those are very optimistic figures.

@MaxVerentsov @HoyasFan07 True. But could be changed in a few month.

@LOrakle @HoyasFan07 Sure. peace time army are slow to adapt experience especially if it not their experience. But it will nothing change to you forces on the ground if they faced enemy which already do it.

@MaxVerentsov @HoyasFan07 Are you stupid? In peace time armies are slow to adapt. France's updates are actually pretty fast. You really know Jack shit

@oiajz_ @LOrakle @HoyasFan07 And now think what happened if the enemy can do all this because you lack drones or sufficient pilots? If your defenses are breached, only urbanized areas may give you hope for organized resistance.

@oiajz_ @LOrakle @HoyasFan07 Wrong, judgment confuses causes with consequences. It is not that drones became effective because mobile warfare ceased, it drones have made mobile warfare impossible: you cannot concentrate forces you cannot create decisive superiority you cannot reliably provide logistics

@LOrakle @HoyasFan07 It’s great that it has begun, perhaps in five years you will have something comparable. I hope you’ll have that time.

@LOrakle @HoyasFan07 Tanks are not absolute, but their role on the battlefield become much smaller. It is not drones that need to be integrated, "it is drone units, used en masse and with speed, that will dominate future battlefields". The last time France failed to adapt to such a shift, Paris fell.

@MaxVerentsov @HoyasFan07 Feel like it's the same discourse over and over "Tank are obsolete because of ATGM" "Planes are obsolete because of SAM's" "Fleets are obsolete because of subs". The drone needs to be integrated, not to have everything shaped around it. It takes time, which is normal

@LOrakle @HoyasFan07 Yea, colonial wars are great until the enemy knocks on the doors of your own bedroom. The shift has already happened. Right now it is simply evolving. But of course, you can keep using sails instead of steam and wait until the gas engine arrives.

@MaxVerentsov @HoyasFan07 Yeah the army is starting to include more and more drones but the focus isn't on high intensity warfare since you know, we aren't at war with Germany. And you speak yourself of prepping for the last war, why should we all massively shift like everything's gotta change ?

@LOrakle @HoyasFan07 You are not making much progress, you know. And the talks above just prove that nothing has shifted yet.

@MaxVerentsov @HoyasFan07 Lol yeah sure. Aside from Ukraine and Russia, everybody's "behind". Frnace, the US, the UK etc are all making progress and adapting. You'd knew that if you cared a minimum. Nobody expects anyone to be as prepared as Ukraine

@Walgor1 @ZelenskyyUa You are listening to a radio show from the Moskva battlecruiser lying at the bottom of the Black Sea.

@ZelenskyyUa Russia opened the "Grain Corridor" out of generosity and in response to requests from other countries. This is not your accomplishment. Don’t try to sell nonexistent expertise or scam people with services you can’t deliver.

Our signal to the United States and countries in the Middle East about the Strait of Hormuz was that we were open to discussing it. As of today, I don't see any country lifting the blockade on its own, only joint steps can bring results. Ukraine has experience with launching the Grain Corridor in the Black Sea despite Russia’s attempts to block the flow of food and other goods. The situation now is similar, but it is about energy. Our suggestion – based on our experience – was as follows. The war and the negotiations on reopening the Hormuz Strait can go in parallel. It’s worth trying to find a diplomatic solution, and this could be beneficial for both sides in the war. An alternative step would be to control the Strait unilaterally, as Ukraine did with the Grain Corridor. Achieving this would require interceptors, military convoys to escort the vessels, a large integrated electronic warfare network, and other tools. We stand ready to help with this. But for now, we are not yet involved. So far, no one has made such a request. We are simply sharing our knowledge. If one day our partners want to make use of it, we would be ready.

@Alexinua_ Ділився своїм досвідом і думками, а ви з якою ціллю тут?

@MaxVerentsov якщо не володієте інформацією, чого дефаєте тцк

Абсолютно впевнений, що +- так і було

@retweetoslav Та твій майор твоїй мамі і дає, а ти тут байки пишеш. Ділишся фантазіями привселюдно.

@MaxVerentsov Мого в москві нема, та й взагалі в росії, але можу передати привіт вашій мамі за щоку

@Alexinua_ @retweetoslav Я саме за вас переживаю, ви сильно видно хвилюєтесь і вже у відчаї раз питаєтесь у сторонньої людини інформацію якою та очевидно не володіє

@MaxVerentsov @retweetoslav а мова не про мене то записи з бодікамер де?

@Alexinua_ @retweetoslav Переживаю за вас, бо відповідь напрошується очевидна.

@MaxVerentsov @retweetoslav записи з бодікамер де?
