He thinks being really quiet and sneaking around, real good like, is key to success. The only problem is that I can f'ing see him.

Being witness to a game-like video without sound. really wonder how long Russia can sustain these types of losses. Ukraine - with the world's help - is gaining strength and confidence. The Russian Army is going in the opposite direction.

About half of that video was from drones, and half from satellites. We have some really good satellites that can drill down to those levels.

can easily give them nearly precise coordinates to target those tanks and trucks.

And then... BOOM!

but whoever came up with those dark red subtitles should be shot.

Looks like at least one of the toys was a Switchblade. Given my bad eyesight and the herky-jerky editing, I can't be sure. If it was, it worked as advertised. They have the advantages of being small, about 50 lb., and cheap, about six grand apiece.

Nobody in the 'hood has any windows left, but I'm sure they're grateful for the slightly toasted scrap metal to sell once the war is over. They can use the proceeds for new insulated windows.

is actually someone converting video formats incorrectly. ...or not at all. That's why I've mentioned playback speed now in a couple of my posts. I usually have to jump among 100%, 75% and 50% playback speed.
