The same way that Napoleon's army totally collapsed after Sir Peregrine Maitland's Guards Division ambushed and decimated the Imperial Guard at Waterloo.

Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Love the people bopping to the tune.

It's kind of ironic we keep seeing the rhetoric that ukraine is defending european democracy, when poland, one of the biggest supporters, is slowing abandoning democracy.

Those attacks yesterday definitely gave Bakhmut city defenders a little room to breath. The front line has straightened considerably and the threat of Russians surrounding western Bakhmut is gone for now.

Ahaha this guy in the second video blaming Ukraine for hitting a civilian building while the ammo is still cooking off hard in the background.
They’re really shameless.

I think this one or at least some version of this drone are equiped for radar jamming, it would make perfect sense to have one of these fly alongside any cruise missile like the Storm Shadow to jam the enemy radars. This also makes me wonder what other EW systems have been given to Ukraine that we don't know about yet. Very interesting.
I think this is an older interview with Zaluzhny but still interesting to hear him say it like this:

First time Russia aimed for a military target and they failed :/
I am surprised they didnt claim to target the patriot missile itself with the Kinzhal. Would be the first successful takedown ot a patriot missile.
Clearly preparing the nation for defeat here.Tweet

Prigozhin openly claiming his troops are firing on retreating RuAF.
Just a matter of time now, Ukraine is taking back everything.

I’d no idea that NATO had these. Even at $300k each you can really see the value in them.
If this is true that Ukr has them in large quantities then the Russians could be fecked good and proper.

I think the Ukrainians have a lot of new stuff in the arsenal right now since a lot of the training their troops have been doing on brand new systems is just now reaching fruition in the lead up to the counter offensive.
I think the US airforce and Navy are the only users of these decoys, they haven't been exported to any other country yet. So yes NATO have them but only through the US.
The Drive has an article up on this subject now with a little more information.

Apperantly the photos posted are of an older version of the ADM-160 without any jamming capabilities, this fits well in with how the US has provided mainly older or even phased out stuff when it comes to the more advanced equipment.
Even if it is the older versions it will be very interesting to see how effective these are in suppressing Russian AA capabilities, in a potential conflict between the US and Russia these types of decoys would probably be the first to enter enemy airspace.
Is the idea that they'll waste ammunition shooting at it?
Russia has enough ammunition. The real goal is getting their AA's focus and let the cruise missile through. It acts like a shield to the CM. In Luhansk it worked perfectly as we can see. The cruise missile hit was bullseye.
