Canned sunshine is the most terrifying and badass name I’ve ever heard used to describe a nuke.

Honestly I’m not sure. I don’t know that part of history very well at all, and wouldn’t want to venture a guess.

Yeah that’s what I thought, I just couldn’t remember.

They participated in the Iran-Iraq war, but that was started by Sadaam IIRC.

Could be. It could also be as simple as using an actual Russian phone, and having an app on the phone that flies the drone.

We don’t know, and I don’t want to know so they can keep doing it.

Totally. This is fucking huge for the war.

You get it, brother.

This actually has huge implications for the war in general. Russias nuclear triad just had the dick blown off of it,

I’d be willing to wager that this was most, if not all the active bombers being used in the Ukrainian theatre. If they are following a loose rule of 3rds with their birds (deployed and flying missions, being prepped for deployment, shut down receiving repairs/overhauls), this very well could severely limit Russia’s ability to keep up their cruise missile bombardment.

If that’s the case, that frees up Ukraine to be much more flexible with their air defenses.

Not to mention if they were able to pull off a mission like this, allegedly using cell towers to fly their drones, what’s stopping them from doing similar limited missions to tank factories, recruit depots, and other places that are further away from the front? Literally all of these targets now become viable because they will be much less heavily guarded than the nuclear triad bombers.

Protecting those assets pulls material and meat from the front lines, which further helps Ukraine.

I can’t help but see this as a massive positive swing in momentum for Ukraine.

If a Republican crippled a historic enemies military without a single soldier dying and did so using a fraction of the US military budget they would put him on Mt. Rushmore, but since Biden did it they, and the entire media apparatus, called him a bumbling fool and senile.

Just like how Reagan gets credit for ‘ending the Cold War’ when a ton of the legwork for that was put in place by Kennedy, Eisenhower, (yes Nixon too), and LBJ and Carter.

Biden has flaws, and I wish Biden really did more to help Ukraine in the beginning of the war, but him helping out and clearing so much equipment to them was a genuinely good thing that he did while in office.

Apparently these drones didn’t use drone RFs they were using cell towers to fly.

I have Irish heritage. That’s literally why my family emigrated to the US

Here’s where Israel fucked up with their supporting trump play.

If the whole world has turned their back on the US because of a despotic leader, what makes you(Israel) think they’ll continue to support you? You’re a MUCH smaller player on the international stage than the fucking US.

You done fucked yourselves.

So?

Different people have different breaking points.

Are you really going to be a fucking hipster about people coming around to Gaza and talk down because they supported an oppressed people later than you did?

Fucks sake dude.

Seriously all the tankie leftists here acting tough is hilarious to me.

Honestly this gets me the most. You have people talking shit like this when they couldn’t even be bothered to vote against the Nazi.

I voted against the fascist, thank you very much.

Apparently, that was too hard for you.

I hope that you enjoy your moral superiority as you’re rounded up by trumps gestapo.

I just skim stories and catch a general idea of what’s going on for this reason.

‘Is this something I can actionably do something about? No? Then don’t worry about it.’
