There will be more drones, more attacks and fewer Russian ships, - Fedorov
News Censor.NET War in Ukraine

Ukraine will be able to carry out more attacks on Russian ships. In 2023, the production of drones in Ukraine increased more than a hundred times, compared to last year.

This was stated by the Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov to Reuters, Censor.NET informs.

“There will be more drones, more attacks, and fewer Russian ships. That’s for sure,” Fedorov said when asked about the recent attacks near Crimea.

He noted that in 2023, the production of drones in Ukraine increased more than 100 times compared to last year.

“I think that by the end of this year if compared with the previous one, this increase will be approximately 120-140 times,” the minister believes.

According to the head of the Ministry of Digital, Ukraine is testing artificial intelligence systems that can localize targets and direct drones to them, even if communication is disrupted using radio-electronic warfare.

“It’s all in testing at the moment, but some of the drones we’re buying use AI to recognize targets. In the forest, it can detect a target and recognize whether it is a person, a tank, or a certain machine. These technologies are actively used,” the minister summarized.

I posted the below question on the last “update” thread, but that thread had pretty well run out of steam, so, here goes, again:


This thread seems as good a place as any to ask a question of various posters (does not include hateful posters on either side, because I already know what they would say.)

Would you object to the USA providing directly to Ukraine from here on out only physical (not money) humanitarian aid and older weapons we would otherwise scrap or replace in coming(5?) years? None to be provided that would be particularly needed in event of a war with China (given that said war would likely be an air / sea affair.) If needing refurbishment or upgrades, other parties will be responsible at their cost, but can purchase services and/or parts from the US. 200 mile maximum range for missiles. Ukraine must agree to no strikes more than 70 miles inside Russia’s 2013 borders, and they must be on military or relevant logistics targets.

In addition, excess newer production / weapons and excess weapons in general may be purchased by NATO allies as usual at present*, and may be transferred to Ukraine at said allies’ discretion.* Again, 200 mile maximum range for missiles if transferred to Ukraine. Ukraine must agree to no strikes more than 70 miles inside Russia’s 2013 borders, and they must be on military or relevant logistics targets.

The idea here would be to save the sometimes considerable scrapping costs of the 1st category. Money from weapons sales (yes, I realize $$ from sales of new production go mostly to the manufacturers) and taxes on those could help fund the adoption and stocking of newer, better weapons. There should also be savings through scale of production of the second category. Some of the money taken in could help fund the humanitarian aid. These sales would also benefit our trade balance and economy in general.

*All normal cautions & restrictions stay in place, such as the reasons (mostly technologies’ protection) we did not sell F-35’s to Turkey. The latest and greatest would be limited to only replace older systems our allies have, not be sent to Ukraine.

I realize that in practice our NATO allies would not be happy, but, A) The Euros have recently committed a large block of funds to aiding Ukraine in coming years, so monies from those funds should be available, and, B) We could offer easy financing to stable NATO allies. C) Europe bears considerable responsibility for not listening to Trump years ago!

One will note here that I am quite bullish on the power of potential profits to entice our MIC to produce sufficient weapons quantities, and I am quite bullish on the depth of US older weapons stockpiles in most categories and types. (I researched.) And finally, the forecasts of other allied countries weapons makers, even if whittled back for being too optimistic, indicate rapid production capacities increases (a double edge sword for sure.) So, this is not likely a program needed for an extended time unless Russia is stupid enough to significantly attack a NATO country and then THAT drags out, a possibility I regard as unlikely, but, yes, possible.

The above surely needs fine tuning, but that’s the gist of it.

I don’t think our gov’t is smart enough to do this, at least not until 2025, but that’s a different matter. The idea is to reduce costs to the US taxpayer during this war, without showing yet another instance of weakness our external enemies (not just Russia!!!) are sure to exploit in the future.

I am for private humanitarian aid only. I give to Samaritans purse for that.

As for the settlement of this conflict. Those regions taken are ethnic Russian primarily. Thing to do is get a cease fire, if that is possible anymore, and see if the present in line actual Tsar would become the head of those states that are split off. He rules as a constitutional monarch.
The trick is to get the cease fire. Then get him installed and then who the hell would become the military police to enforce the peace between these? Hungary? Austria?
The slavic peoples are incapable of an independent elected leader. They’ve never actually had one that can be claimed as a leader who is not corrupt.
The Tsar in waiting is supported and recognized by the Eastern Orthodox churches...Ukrainian and Russian especially.
The damage in the split off areas of the old Ukraine regions get paid for by Russia. The rest by European NATO countries.
Crimea stays with Russia.

END THIS WAR NOW.

** ORC SPECIAL FOR Allegra
RUN AWAY SONG
https://open.spotify.com/track/7EHiuJIOj1Lx4LMpY6Bavc

Meaning of Run Away by Russian Village Boys
Russian Village Boys
July 3, 2023
https://www.songtell.com/russian-village-boys/run-away

“Run Away” by Russian Village Boys is a song that on the surface may seem like a carefree and lighthearted party anthem, but upon closer inspection, it reveals deeper themes and meanings. The lyrics explore the idea of escapism and the desire to break free from the responsibilities and monotony of everyday life.

The repeated lines, “You want to drink, hello / You should to say, hello / You need to take, okay / And now just run away,” sets the tone for the song. It presents the idea that indulging in alcohol can serve as a temporary escape from reality. The repetitive nature of these lines emphasizes the allure of running away and seeking temporary relief in alcohol.

The use of the phrase “run away” throughout the song further reinforces the theme of escapism. It suggests a desire to escape from the pressures and constraints of society. This can be interpreted as a reflection of the human desire to break free and find liberation in the temporary pleasures of life.

The verses introduce another layer to the song’s meaning. The lines “Не понял? / Вы чё, бутылку украли? / Придурки! / Так, водку не пей!” loosely translate to “Don’t understand? / Did you steal the bottle? / Idiots! / So, don’t drink vodka!”

These lines establish a sense of rebellion against societal rules and restrictions. It suggests that the individuals in the song are willing to defy expectations and norms in pursuit of their own version of freedom and enjoyment.

The subsequent lines, “Лучше егеря возьмём / My friend! Give me four... No! Eighteen Jagermeister!” introduce the idea of excess and indulgence. The mention of Jagermeister and the quantity of shots desired indicate a disregard for moderation and a preference for uninhibited revelry. This further emphasizes the theme of seeking escapism and temporary relief from the monotony of life.

The chorus, with its repetition of the word “dance,” can be viewed as a metaphor for freedom and self-expression. Dancing can be seen as a form of release and liberation, allowing individuals to express themselves without inhibition. The repetition of the word “dance” also reflects an element of spontaneity and the desire to live in the present moment.

The closing lines, “I just brought a dance,” carry a hint of irony. They suggest that even though the desire to escape and find momentary freedom is present, true liberation cannot be achieved through substances or fleeting experiences. This line invites reflection, questioning the effectiveness of temporary escapes and encourages listeners to seek fulfillment and self-expression in more meaningful ways.

In conclusion, “Run Away” by Russian Village Boys delves into themes of escapism, rebellion, and the search for freedom. The song explores the allure of indulgence and the desire to break free from societal constraints. However, it also poses questions about the effectiveness and sustainability of such temporary forms of escape. It ultimately encourages listeners to seek true liberation and fulfillment in more substantial ways beyond the fleeting pleasures of alcohol and hedonistic pursuits.

Allegra might not like this Orc special. However actually, this song calls us to have compassion for the Russian people

Prisoner about war: “We were told that Ukrainians are Nazis, attack, kill, but here everything is opposite”. VIDEO
Censor.NET

Denis Kravchenko, a Russian mercenary from Crimea, was imprisoned in Russia for theft, signed a contract with the Irbis PMC of the Russian Ministry of Defence and went to fight in Ukraine. He had 2 weeks left in his contract, but instead of going home, he went to the front line and was captured. Now, after an “epiphany”, he allegedly will never take up arms.

Eh, you’ll likely have a different #1, but IMO the greatest financial destroyer of our nation over the years is the astonishing red tape and overly-complex regulation the Feds slap on any project or enterprise they can lay their eyes on.

One such example I’ve mentioned on FR in previous years still remains “undone”.

Essentially, a small spillway on a local pond (maybe 5 acres when healthy) in a local, rather well developed Federal Wildlife Refuge (many facilities from years past, and a few newer ones) washed out some years back, and continues to erode away. The repair job would cost the State DNR ~$10,000, says one of the State DNR guys. So, it’d probably cost some farmer with a tractor or backhoe $5k including his labor, but, I digress. That’s a “peanuts” inflation.

No repair has been done and the pond continues to deteriorate. Soon all that will be left is a small marsh. Keep in mind that aside from the recreation and conservation aspect — fishing, waterfowl usage, etc. — this pond and several others were put in to help reduce siltation of the large lake downstream, and mitigate risk to the main lake’s dam. The pond is right beside a good road, with easy equipment access, and can be dredged easily to remove silt as needed. But, because the outflow is on Federal Land, to do this $10,000 job, hundreds of thousands of dollars of studies and reviews are needed to create a huge stack of paperwork to ok not anything new, just a simple restoration, maybe built or anchored a little stronger, of what was there for many years and that did exactly what the State DNR and the Refuge officials and biologists were completely happy with.

So, the Refuge doesn’t want to spend the money, this nice spot deteriorates, there’s greater fishing pressure on the other waterbodies on the Refuge, more silt goes to the main lake, and floodwaters are not mitigated. IF the repairs ever happen, they’ll cost us taxpayers 25 times what they should, if not more.

Bah!
