but they got NIMBY’d by property owners who wanted a bigger setback

What kinda property owners? Do you happen to have a news link or some such? Were those landowners or what?

said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops

Why would they?

You mean like a false target? Pretty sure ICBMs at least have those already, specifically to ensure payload is not intercepted

If only. But methinks a drone is a more difficult target than people trying to hide from them

Conversely - those FPVs and quads with thermals that drop grenades are a pretty bad news for the proletariat

So who's growing the wheat? As I understand it, it's an ongoing practice for over a decade. So someone is growing wheat every year only for the US military to swoop in and harvest it? Or do they ambush trucks with already harvested wheat? Article doesn't seem to mention the hows, focusing on oil. But oil is a bit different from wheat

I agree. It is time we talk about fall of capitalist system in Russia which putin represents and establishing socialist republic

Different situations, imo. For one, Germany after ww2 benefited immensely from the western propaganda machine, whitewashing it, painting USSR as worse, etc. Additionally, it could be argued Germans never had such a terrible reputation to begin with. Compared to the notably more diverse Russia, which is being slanted as "the other"

So don't quote me on this, but I think soviet T-80 also uses a turbine engine (for S P E E D). It also has some kinda angled exhaust, so it doesn't quite deafen you when you see it frontally, but it roars something fierce when you're to the side of it

 

Apologies for the subpar source. But the gist of it stands: Kstovo oil refinery was struck by an explosive carrying drone last night, Moscow time. I've included a link to Google maps, to give an idea how far the place is from the SMO frontlines.

 

Title says it all, really. You can read it using the browser translation.

While normally I would dismiss this as yet another rambling of an irrelevant old quack, the fact it got published by RIA is what raises eyebrows. My guess would be it is a test of public opinion, kinda like what USian press does.

"Coincidence" my ass

In other instances it was a misfire (engine failure), targeting failure and at least once a partial intercept
