1. A russian propagandist holds a wing and incorrectly claims it is from a Ukrainian Chaklun-V. In fact, this is from a Ukrainian Drakosha - Little Dragon. (This thread contains 16 posts.)

No, I still can’t get this out of my head, and I keep trying to grasp the full abyss of this idiocy, unsuccessfully.

Russia spent years, decades "fighting all of NATO," turning America into "radioactive ash" every night on state TV.

Well I was correct, the ballistics attack did materialize last night and the early hours, in an all but predictable attack on power infrastructure.

However, it’s not all going Putin’s way, not in the slightest, in fact it’s getting worse.

Putin may now be forced to consider a peace deal not from strength, but from exhaustion. That is precisely where the danger lies.

The russian terrorist, Strelkov pointed out that the USA uses NATO to control Europe.

"NATO, of course, won't collapse because of some Greenland. The United States will never lose such an instrument and the influence it exerts on Europe"

I had a work colleague who started acting weird like this. Five year later he was dead from frontotemporal dementia. Earlier symptoms included a strange impulsivity where he could not be reasoned with. A later symptom that could not be ignored was his aphasia.
President Trump mocks transgender athletes while addressing Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives, using examples from weightlifting and boxing as he argued against transgender participation in women’s sports.

Take some time and watch Shaun Pinner @olddogua.bsky.social explain how the balance of power has shifted to Ukraine. At this point, I think he may be right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9tiGudbOp4

1. This russian pretends to investigate Ukraine's drones but this is just a conduit for russian propaganda. Their surprisingly new and clean uniforms hint something is not right. However, they sometimes post interesting photos with handy location and date information.

1. This beautiful photo shows pieces of a russian SU-34 aircraft that was shot down over Ukraine in 2022. It makes a nice wallpaper for your computer.

Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism is a small book that has teeth - and claws.

Useful advice includes, "Fascism thrives on predictability; confuse it by unexpectedly launching onto the back side of a chair, then repelling down the curtains."

1. Lots of politicians promise to return manufacturing jobs that have been outsourced to China. Gig workers are a large part of China's work force including factory workers. "I Deliver Parcels in Beijing" gives an idea of what these jobs are like.

1. Four Ukrainian Bars cruise missiles were launched at night. The shape is hard to make out but the fuselage is consistent with the unusual shape of Bars.

I managed to snap a couple of photos of the aurora last night (November 12). Brightness on the bottom right of this photo is, unfortunately, from the city lights. Camera was a Canon T6i with an EF-S 24 mm lens. Not too fancy but works well enough. Other folks there had much fancier kit.

1. This wreckage is Ukraine's secretive Bars (Snow Leopard) cruise missile that was first mentioned by Minister of Strategic Industries, Herman Smetanin in April 2024. The pieces in this photo are not arranged correctly but still give an idea what it looks like.

Time magazine has a story about how Ukraine uses a point system for its drone units. Each kill is awarded points, e.g., 6 points for a russian soldier and 40 points for a tank. Points can be redeemed for all sorts of stuff including drones.

1. This soldier was very excited because he scored a jet engine. A big question is, what drone is this a part of? Cutting up a drone before taking photos is common, and makes identification a more interesting challenge.

1. A Ukrainian drone was attacked by a russian drone. This is not uncommon but what is weird is the russians identified this drone as a Liutyi (Fierce). This event was also subsequently reported in russian news stories.

1. It is beautiful but is this reconnaissance drone too good to use in a war? The various reconnaissance drones flown in Ukraine are well made and usually expensive. But are they too expensive?

Usually we only see the russian Geran-2 (Shahed 136) drones after they have been shot down. Here is a photo of an intact one on display.
August 12, 2025 at 5:06 AM
1. Here is something a little unusual. It is a Zlin Z137T agricultural aircraft (crop duster) equipped with two R-73 air-to-air missiles for shooting down drones. There's no obvious gun so this is likely only for large drones like the Geran-2 (Shahed 136).

1. Ukraine attacked a russian factory in Stavropol with at least four drones. Although russia has laws against posting there are several very good videos of this attack. Here, a still frame shows a rather nice terminal dive.

Don't do this at home. A russian soldier grabs a Ukrainian drone and smacks it against a tree. For some reason, it does not explode.
July 17, 2025 at 10:11 PM
1. What would have been unthinkable a few years ago is now routine. Several Ukrainian drones successfully attacked a russian drone factory located in Dubna, only 115 km from the kremlin. This is a smart move by Ukraine, and there may be more to this attack than at first seems.

1. A video shows a Ukrainian drone hitting a transmission tower in Engels, russia. Some people have incorrectly claimed this drone is a Ukrainian-made Lyutyy. Fortunately, there are a couple of details that correctly identify this drone.
