Ukrainian miltech project ODIN has rolled out its 'Anti Shahed' system, using high-speed Win_Hit drones to intercept Shahed and Geran UAVs.

Already active in combat, these 300 km/h interceptors are launched from mobile, handheld, or airborne platforms, Militarnyi reports.

Russia really seems to be being pushed to full 1984. The legislator’s move for a bill on compulsory male focused reproduction suggests Alexandr Dugin’s moves behind the stage. I get the impression that with Putin’s promises to consider some of Dugin’s other ideas in the future. Dugin suspects, probably correctly, that his ideas are being shelved for the far, far future. I suspect such a law requiring reproductive activity, especially after only 3 “dates”, would trigger another flood of Russian males fleeing Russia for friendlier, less compulsory countries. It would make life in Russia impossible for any exclusively gay male living there. Then their only option would be compulsory military service and probable death. Of course the Russian women reported to be black widows who make a point of marrying men to get their enlistment bonuses would have a field day.

Regarding the poor laying hens who are being thrown out on the street. I imagine their fates will be either someone’s next dinner, or perhaps someone’s new source of daily eggs or a small business by selling eggs. Thus a source of micro-capitalism, so antithetical to Dugin ideology. I am not sure Kirill’s crosses are going to solve any of these issues. Russia is such a fun place.

Russians have had the advantage of glide bombs for some time now, but now they are getting a taste of their own medicine.

Drone dropped bombs and grenades are good, but this takes it up to a new level. No escaping these

Remember the important difference that Russia is targeting a large number of civilian and even medical targets. Ukraine is targeting military/industrial targets with possibly some collateral damage. So far I have seen NO statistics regarding Russian civilian casualties not directly caused by being too close to a legitimate war related target.

In Russia the Muslims and other minorities have decent bitrates. While Russian birthrates are a disaster. This has been killing Putin (mentally) for years. Putin plotted to take all of Ukraine in a swift government decapitation in Kiev and an overall blitzkrieg attack. To takeover-annex Ukraine within a month while Zombie Biden and Europeans sat on their hands. Taking Ukraine intact meaning instantaneously adding 43 million Slavs to Russia. Putin calls Ukrainians little Russians. That they are Russian enough to add 43 million new Russians to the existing number of 107 million. This Tsarist style scheme failed, so now he is destroying Ukraine, while keeping Kiev and Odessa (super important gem of the black sea) mostly intact.

Annexing Ukraine was Putin's solution for miserable Russian birthrates.
