I thought EW was one of RuZZia’s strong points. Guess not.

“1/ QUICK THREAD: Russian Telegram channels are suggesting a new tactic to counter Ukraine’s successful EW ops near Mariinka against Russian DJI drones. “Today, we lost two Matrice 30t, and Matrice 300 RTK drone. Our colleagues from the combined arms units have similar losses....”
2/ “Earlier, there was a similar (DJI) loss about 10 days ago, but then our operator ran after the departing copter and was able to restore communication and land it. Today it didn’t work out that way.”
3/ “Several conclusions can be drawn from this: either Ukrainian signals suppression station is located closer to the line of contact, or its a more powerful EW system that allows operators to directly suppress the control channels with confidence. Or...”
4/ “...there are very few such EW stations, and they most likely operate along the front line, or simply deploy to the most threatened area.”
5/ “What can be done?: 1) Fly the copters and operate them behind your own combat lines (beyond the reach of Ukrainian EW), which will undoubtedly reduce the depth of reconnaissance and its quality. But as they say, that is better than nothing at all.”
6/ “2) Before flying monsters like Matrice, fly small ones like DJI Mini, Air2 and Air2s - look at their flight behavior and handling at different heights (to determine EW impact, if any) and, based on this, plan the use of larger drone “brothers.”
7/ “3) Look for tech solutions and outputs from our (supporters and forces), who develop signal amplifiers with DJI remote controls. (One) MLRS commander found such a way out and the (DJI ISR) process was launched.”
8/ All drones listed in this thread were identified months ago by pro-Kremlin Telegram channels as main targets for volunteer fundraising and donations.

Am I the only one who things the barriers should be taller?
“Russia also erected barriers between aircraft at Belbek airfield.”

“National Bank: Foreign reserves grew by 1.9% in December, still lower than pre-war level. According to the National Bank, Ukraine’s foreign reserves reached $28.5 billion as of Jan. 1. The number is still lower than the pre-full-scale war number of nearly $31 billion.”

RuZZians claimed to have captured Soledar. Maybe, but probably not.
“The AFU defended Soledar. Yuri Butusov posted from the Soledar Salt Mine his morning. The 46th Airborne Assault Brigade successfully defended against the Russians. As per usual when it comes to the Russians, there is a lot of smoke and not a lot of fire.”
https://twitter.com/DefMon3/status/1611673984738775046
“The picture of Yury Butusov is genuine, however it is not from the salt mine in the center of Soledar but from another one 1 km to the West.”

“Since some are throwing in numbers around how much each side controls of Soledar, I made a small summary based on what I have. Ukrainian controlled: 11.6 km² Russian controlled: 5.4 km²”

“Ukrainian troops clearly in control of north Soledar. The part was always Ukrainian controlled but some Pro-Russian mappers already scribbled some arrows into this area. They can use the eraser.”

Why does everyone hate us so much?
They just think we are some kind of white monkeys.

Little Pukin must cry when he thinks Lukashenko is on his side.
“Lukashenko said that Belarus has developed an individual first-aid kit, which is better than the NATO one.”

14 comments by you right out the gate before anyone else has commented on your post. Your pathetic attempts to boost you reply counts is both sad and moronic. Zeepers are the lowest form of life online.
Pathetic Speedy, just pathetic.
Folks who are obsessed with Speedy are really creepy.
Unlike the guy who only posts neocon war porn, and then has to make 90% of the comments on his own thread, every.single.day.
Cause that's totally normal, right?
“Today, we lost two Matrice 30t, and Matrice 300 RTK drone.
The Matrice 30t and Matrice 300 RTK are both high-end ($10,000) drones.
My guess is that UKR is capturing the drones and will be able to use them against RU.
Rs can not force these changes while controlling 1/2 of 1 branch of government. Crazy. Go win some elections to force change.
I was 100% in cash prior to Feb 24th. Served me well last year. I’m 100% in stocks right now. 2023 will be up. I may go back to cash before a debt limit fiasco hits though.
Go win some elections and stop this foolishness.
“One of the main demands of the GOP faction McCarthy had to negotiate with was using the nation’s debt limit to try to force deep cuts in the federal budget. The issue will come to a head sometime after July 1 when the $31 trillion limit will need to be raised to prevent a default on debt payments.
“There will be no clean increase in the debt ceiling,” Pennsylvania Republican Scott Perry, chair of House Freedom Caucus and one of the leaders of the mutiny, said Friday.
Arkansas Representative French Hill, who helped negotiate the deal, told reporters that there is a commitment that spending cuts will be tied to any increase in the debt ceiling. That is sure to hit solid opposition in the Democratic-controlled Senate and from President Joe Biden.
Hill said McCarthy also committed to fashioning a fiscal 2024 budget resolution that caps spending at 2022 levels. Whether defense or non-defense levels would be cut in that resolution would be up to the Budget Committee and the House to decide. “
