Because I clicked on that tweet and didn't find any remotely direct relevance to this thread. Did we post any content from those guys here and form our opinions on it?
There were several posts about this absolute nobody: https://www.brusselstimes.com/271089/the-most-hated-russian-tourist-in-europe
Wait, what? The group wrote that article or/and framed the girl?
No one framed the girl, she did exactly what was reported on. I'm saying that if a random Russian woman being an asshole is relevant to this thread, how can it not be relevant that the front figure of an Internet movement with support from the Ukranian state and major international politicians is a nazi?

This is the one I am talking about. Your tweet did not have much background information on the group (online gamers and trolls, great!), and some people here said they had never heard of it. The tweet solely seemed to say, "Oh, there are some Nazis hating Russians." Hence, the question was if it was relevant to the thread in a way to be informed or to see from another perspective based on that.

And the next comment, that you replied to so you did see it:
So on the one hand you have two people on Redcafe that haven't heard of them, on the other hand you know it's a group that has gotten international attention from some big players, yet you question the relevance. You don't ask if it's important or a big deal, you ask if it should even be in the thread. And I would actually like an answer to what I asked, is it relevant to the thread what random Russian tourists do in Austria, or what some Czechs do?
I dont think Putin would mind either.
This should warrant immediate shipments of ATACMS missiles.

Not really good for morale when you insult the deity of your soldiers.
Beautiful pattern, if someone could get a shot from above I'd frame it.

Amazing morale and esprit de corps the Russians have.

That’s an M270 isn’t it?
Yep, not a HIMARS. This is definitely the wider, tracked vehicle.
Correct. It's also only a single launcher and not a battery, a battery would normally consist of 3 or 4 launchers.
I don’t know a M270 from a potato gun but this popular weapons expert isn’t buying in, at least not in this case.Correct. It's also only a single launcher and not a battery, a battery would normally consist of 3 or 4 launchers.
I can see nothing in that video that would suggest this is a ATACMS rocket being launched. In fact, I think the back blast looks way to small for it to be a ATACMS rocket.
This is what a ATACMS launch looks like for comparison.

For a former seal team 6 / DEVGRU member, Chuck does post some shit sometimes.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that as well. Though to be fair Theiner has his own share of bold controversial takes as he thinks UA secretly has used ATACMS a couple times (Sevastopol and Kerch bridge).
Bold takes, I think he's probably right though...

So, did I think your first tweet was relevant to the thread? Based on the tweet I clicked, no. You asked me if your tweet was more relevant than other news posted in the thread? I answered yes and I should have stopped there.
Yes.
Aren't they the newly mobilised, not the normal conscripts that go in every year?
Yes, they are. The conscription will start on the 1st of November, although I don’t know who they’re going to call up.
I am pretty sure the US has already figured them out, question is do they want to share that with Ukraine thereby showing their hand.
It's not that hard to figure them out. Their basic idea is simple but effective, overwhelm air defense just by quantity.
Obviously not what I meant by figuring out. It's reverse engineering the protocols / breaking encryption to either deny operation or take over.
Ye, but thing is atm. The issue is more that they swarm the air with them and send some cruise missiles also which overwhelm the air defence and some still get through to terrorize the cities.
