Russia Ukraine Update Thread - part 2

This can actually backfire, since people might think that it`s better to not go at all to service .

Bet the Russian military would like to see some of the Duma folk go into the front line. Then see how draconian their decrees are.

So it's not just me?

The last 7 years were real?

Please tell me there isn't really a madman launching missiles at nuclear plants...

a reply to: Kenzo

That's a good observation.

The last time Russia (as USSR) issued a comparable order, they had nationwide conscription AND their country was obviously in dire straits. Neither of those conditions obtain at the moment, and anyone contemplating military service may think twice.

Perhaps someone else can explain the time display 'jumping'?

Is it one of the weird compression things that some older security camera systems would do?

Security cameras tend to be low fps, and high compression to allow for hours of footage being recorded without taking up terrabytes each day, id say the skip is down to just rather poor data recording, the time stamp jumps around but its going up constantly.

Also it might have a data size saver that only registers frames with differences, to save on storage as well, ie the clocks ticking along normally, but it only writes a frame when X% of the incoming frame is different from the previous frame, but when played back at a steady FPS the result is a choppy time stamp.

Imagine taking a video of a bedside tick tock old school clock with hands, but then only saving the frames where the second hand lands on 3's and 5 second increments on the clock face... then play it back without any sort of extra timing between those frames to make up for removed ones... result a mess.

Basically saying, cameras like that are only used to get some visual and just enough for what you need not HD 4k 60fps cinematics lol.

That too far more likely, brown outs on any kinda electronics like that can screw things up big time... as ive learned in the last 2 weeks thanks to my houses power board arcing thanks to water getting in it to the point it almost burst into flames before my dad could turn it off. Can still smell the burnt plastic in the laundry room. Only noticed it was happening since i heard a loud buzzing from down the corridor and my PC was acting weird...

They started ordering teachers from a military school to Ukraine ?


Russia staffs 4 battalions to be deployed in Ukraine with teachers – General Staff


If true it shows they have difficulties to find new cannon fodder.

I hope they get a swift lesson on the saying "those who can, do; those who can't, teach."

Russia warns that SpaceX Starlink satellites could become a "legitimate target"

Next time someone claims that russia isnt using their best stuff in this war...

For the first time ever the most advanced Russian main battle tank T-90M was captured by the Ukrainian army - presumably in #Kharkiv Oblast. This tank is also covered with Nakidka radar-absorbent and heat-insulating material.

It may become a policy decision to try and provoke a response from the US or NATO. In that way, Russia's failure in Ukraine gets overtaken by other, more pressing matters. It'll probably just lead to more kit being given to Ukraine, as Russia once again makes some poor decisions.

It would not be beyond Russia's stupidity to try and escalate the conflict. But shooting down a few Starlink satellites is hardly going to do very much. Judging by Russian military prowess, one wonders if Russia could actually hit a satellite in a real world situation.

Finally , a good news story !

Not a fan of Starlink but this is just more of the same from Russia , sadly.

a reply to: paraphi


I wondered since Russian forces entered to Ukrainian nuclear power plant, and firing so close to reactors that it may want to provoke US/NATO . Could be also because they are not so smart , and act stubid .

I think they are thinking all sort of actions now, and surele it would be mistake to act against satellites , and more kits would be send to Ukraine.

I doubt China would either like war expanding to space .

They lost sanity clearly ...

They are stuck in their twisted mentality .

I read somewhere recently it all goes back to Russian origins of being part Mongols and their bloodthirsty nature in war. They referred to the German prisoners taken by Russia in WW2. The greatest fear of the Nazis on the Eastern Front was to be taken prisoner by the Siberian forces. Disembowlment while alive was a common act carried out by Siberian forces on these prisoners
