Whatever happens, sooner or later Putin is out of power and I see Russia as a powder keg of instability. With its abundance of nuclear weapons that's somewhat concerning.
I hope the CIA in between chanting diversity is our strength and recruiting transgender folks has been putting in place plans to install an opposition government that could effectively rule over the multiple groups in Russia. We need a controlled break-up of Russia not a chaotic collapse. We don't want to trade Putin for six more insane versions of Putin. I would think the U.S. government would have learned this lesson from Iraq, but sadly I can't be sure that they have. |

I have followed this one for a while, though, and monitored the Linux version's activity with nf_conntrack and it is targeting the hosts that the target list says it is. They recommend a couple of open source projects that have been developed / extended for this purpose, mhddos and death by 1000 needles in particular. Both have their code openly available for review. Even though I trust them enough to participate, I do run their script in a sandbox as user 'nobody' because it's prudent. |

Three offshore lines of the Nord Stream gas pipeline system have sustained "unprecedented" damage in one day, Nord Stream AG, the operator of the network, said on Tuesday. It also said that it was impossible to estimate when the gas network system's working capability would be restored.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdpRXMoWAAQDwN4?format=png&name=smallhttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdpRYh_WYAAO2Wq?format=png&name=small I was watching the other thread on this. This is a real puzzler. Not sad about it, but so many actors, and who did it? I can’t ponpoint the depth of the Brnholm Basin there. Looks like 40-60m for the nearby two incidents, which widens the possibility of methods.

The easiest would be to jam the commercial GLONASS or GPS reciever, so it won't hit it's intended target. Here's some more info, they took the smaller Shahed-131 drone apart and analyzed all the components. You can see the limitations of these. They are not the same or as capable as the Israeli HAROP or HARPY drones, though they look like them. The smaller Shahed-131 drone tear down is here: https://en.defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/not_only_shahed_136_a_detailed_study_of_another_iranian_shahed_131_kamikaze_drone_used_by_russia-4320.html But the main value of the report is precisely in the analysis of electronic components. As predicted, all of them are civilian, and of the guidance systems, only a civilian-class GPS receiver is used, which allows this drone to be used only against stationary objects. At the same time, an unpleasant surprise was found, a system was added to GPS guidance that prevents GPS signals from being changed by electronic warfare systems, but judging by the description, it does not prevent interference. The drone is also equipped with a primitive inertial system that allows it to maintain an approximate course and altitude if satellite navigation is prohibited. That is, when the drone flies into an area where GPS signals are suppressed, the drone begins to be blown away by the wind, and it also runs into errors of the inertial system itself. Depending on the speed and direction of the wind, the deviation will be 5% of the distance covered without GPS. On a section of 5 km, this will give an error of 250 meters. Obviously, when the GPS signal is received again, the drone will adjust its flight. Trick would be to not allow it to get the GPS signal. So they basically load GPS coordinates into NVRAM pre-launch and use an INS as backup. Another thing to ponder: If there's ANY sort of ground link provision for the drone, could the link be compromised and those coordinates be queried (rather than altered) while in flight? If so, the information could act as an early warning system for (insert_favorite_countermeasures). Be interesting to get ahold of an electronics package out of one and do a bit of reverse engineering. Is there not a way to spoof GPS with ground transmitters? There is, but the sneaky little bastards fail over to an INS as AlmightyTallest mentioned. As soon as the GPS spoofing stops and the system can get an appropriate fix, it resumes navigation via GPS receiver. Compromising the command link to get the preprogrammed flight coordinates is one possible way to counter these craft, IF the link is open and active during flight. The other bit I'd be curious about: How are the RUS/IRAN personnel getting targeting information to begin with? Stop the flow and minimize the threat, if in fact these are "dumb" weapons. |

How do you put a dollar value on something like a T-72 made in the 80's with minimal or no upgrades? Replacement cost? open market value if sold? original cost adjusted for inflation? Do you deprecate based on age and condition? is it 'free' since the cost was incurred by the Soviet Union, which no longer exists? |

That's a very hard thing to put a price tag on. That’s absolutely right. A tray of processors can enable an enemy to build a number of weapons. Hell, a tray of processors can do more damage than a shipping container full of 155mm shells. Just finding the shell companies that buy them and developing new processes to control product destinations is huge. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: This whole thing is getting to the point it is becoming ridiculous. I just watched a video where some mobilized old guy likely suffered a heart attack on the parade grounds and dropped dead. A trainload of fresh and untrained conscripts got blown up soon after entering Ukrainian territory. Entire companies of Russians are getting wiped out with their corpses littering the countryside. Now they are trying to plug a bunch of untrained, poorly equipped conscripts into their professional units that are already failing. This has become a slaughter. Russia's Army is arguably in worse shape than Saddam's army back in February 1991 when the ground portion of the Desert Storm campaign was launched. They are helpless and hopeless. Yet Putin allows this madness to continue, in fact, he is actively worsening it with every decision he makes. What an absolute piece of shit he is to allow the wholesale slaughter of his nation's people to continue this way for nothing. I hope there eventually comes a day when enough Russian people finally wake up that we get to see Putin experience what Muammar Gaddafi did. This is the end he has earned and deserves. Fuck that piece of shit for everything he has done to Georgia, Ukraine, Syria and even to his own countrymen. Spot on. |

I'm just catching up this morning, but yeah, I'm with you on that line of questioning and interest. If the drone has a camera system, and about 1 out of 6 in a group can, that one drone would have the ground link to relay video to the user that allows them to decide on what targets to hit closer to real time. I would say that camera system with downlink, since all the chips are commercial quality, that it may be susceptible to the jamming guns or drone jamming systems in that regard. Last night I had a dream about this. In it we set up in a large building that acted as an attractive fake HQ target and set it up as a decoy for the drones. Lots of antennas on the roof, real and fake, lots of high quality long range thermal optical and radar systems to scan the skies and horizon for them from high up on the building, also provided over watch for some real potential targets nearby. More than a few accurate gun and missile systems to take the drones down were set up on the roof and around the area. |

This is going to rustle some jimmies in GD.... Not crazy about this idea. Likely to be some infiltrators in the bunch and who needs a bunch of Russians who were happy enough to play along up until they got drafted? |

That literally confirms what the Ukrainian Army stated about 3 days ago. They are sending Russians to the front with no training at all. Unbelievable. |

It also said that it was impossible to estimate when the gas network system's working capability would be restored.

Who did it? I suspect submarines. Take the time for the first cut of the line, then the timing of the next two, and you can trace a path they are traveling underwater. |
