The new drone videos of the Soviet Air Force bomber elimination posted today is wild. Methodical AI or patient pilot?

The drones were AI trained to attack the area where the fuel is stored. NY times has an in depth explanation of the operation.

The longer of the videos is in this story:

What were the Russians expecting that made them scatter all those sliced olives on their planes? Is that to make molotov cocktails bounce off or what? Looks like it smoked while burning.

They look like automobile or truck tires, hence would burn. Not sure why they were on the wings.

I'm guessing ballast.

Those two are like kids fighting in a park.

Thanks! It's obviously working super well, as should probably be expected when you park them in normal airplane parking spots by a big, obvious, runway that everyone can find on Google Maps.

Seems like the main result of that is telegraphing to Russia's enemies that they have systems that get confused by tires and they think everyone else does, too.

Do you think the "rust" on the A-50's is supposed to work that way, too? The whole thing gives the impression that maybe not all of these planes are in frequent use.

[Meconium]

I believe the A50's where pick & pull for replacement parts

[Jumper Bones]

Exactly. Russia doesn’t have a central aircraft boneyard like the US military does, so they do it at each airfield, lots of derelict airframes to source parts from. Just a different approach. And yeah, those A-50s appear to be stored aircraft.

A Russian Air Force Su-25 pilot accidentally shot down his wingman with unguided rockets over Donetsk Oblast earlier this week:

And, last week, a 1980s era Ukrainian F16 that shot down one of Russia's modern Su-35s

The sheer fact that Israel is owning the skies over Tehran demonstrates how easy it should be for Europe to institute a no fly zone for Ukraine considering that most of Russia's AD has been shitcanned.

[summit]

Iranian and Russian drone production being hit plus Iran now bogarting missile and drone deliveries means this Israel v Iran this is super good news for Ukraine!

[twat]

All tied to Austria a bit. Vienna the getway to the east.
Exciting watch imo. A bit of 007 in real.

Fred Grandy, a 61-year-old volunteer from Oregon, died in Kyiv during Russia’s massive drone and missile strike this week.

He came to Ukraine in May to help clear rubble after Russian attacks. He felt the U.S. had turned its back on Ukraine and wanted to do something.

Mr. Grandy told his sister just days ago that he was exactly where he needed to be — helping people who refused to give up. He planned to stay for months.

Instead, a Russian missile hit the building where he volunteered. He became one of 28 victims of the attack.

Fred looked pretty fit at 61. RIP to all the American and foreign volunteers who've died in Putin's war
