What, you mean Trump?... ah no Putin!
Excellent range accuracy (well it's a laser
) - I wonder how many are built or in the pipeline?

Excellent. Have we helped them? Hope so.

I did see a short video somewhere, in which British forces were testing out one of these in the field. It must have been the first half of last year.
They used it to take down drones, so I got the impression that it was a short range device.
I don't know if we helped Ukraine with that or their own version, but the fact that they released the video at all, suggests maybe we did.
I saw that video too...sorry I can't help with 'where' though,

I've found it. It was on the BBC, although there isn't a video of it. Our version is called Dragonfire.I saw that video too...sorry I can't help with 'where' though,
Reading between the lines, we have helped Ukraine.

The defence secretary said the laser could be used to take down Russian drones as early as 2027.

I've read the article properly now. It questions the suitability of the UK laser for Ukraine because of the need for a reliable energy source, hinting at the national grid.I've found it. It was on the BBC, although there isn't a video of it. Our version is called Dragonfire.

I have no idea what's required...I wonder what was in the Ukrainian van.
Here's a UK Government update on defence support and joint procurement between UK, Ukraine, Norway and others.

£450M surge of military support to boost Ukraine's Armed Forces as UK and Germany chair meeting of 50 nations
Package will support UK jobs and growth, with equipment and repair contracts connecting UK companies with Ukrainian industry
I imagine one can just use ChatGpt or Grok for instructions on creating a military laser nowadays, simples!I've found it. It was on the BBC, although there isn't a video of it. Our version is called Dragonfire.

A glimpse into life in Russia.
8 out of 10 Russian marriages ended in 2024 ?? That can't be right can it?

Perhaps Russian men are misogynistic bullies and modern women don't think they have to put up with that shit in 21st century.
Not great. Does Trump still think Putin wants peace?

Yep. That kind of fits. Couple it with the birth rate of 1.4 per woman/couple (Russia needs a birth rate of 2.1 to sustain its population).
Who in their right mind wants to raise a child in Russia?
Russia is dying. Regardless of what happens in the war, it is dying. Putin knows this. It is why he advised women to have eight children. Not going to happen.
And another reason for invading neighbouring countries, stealing children etc.
Trump and his cronies will push even harder for an agreement whereby Russia gets the four provinces they don't even fully occupy, Trump claims peace, the Nobel prize, any remaining minerals etc.Not great. Does Trump still think Putin wants peace?

F**k off,Trump.
The 8/10 feels wrong.
Even so, one reply reminded that domestic abuse was decriminalized in Russia in 2017.
If Putin had a brain he'd make divorce easier, not harder, as a living single woman is still more likely to have kids than a dead one

And those marriage stats can’t have been helped by the number of deceased husbands in their armed forces

Yes, a lot of things are happening that we don’t yet know about. But as we’ve previously speculated on here Ukraine must have its Paddy Mayne equivalents working behind the lines - and apparently doing a fantastic job
It's disgusting isn't it - at least 34 dead.Not great. Does Trump still think Putin wants peace?

Has Trump denounced it yet? Witkoff? Kellog? Rubio? anyone from the negotiating team.
They are all complicit with their negotiations that fully favour Russia and lack of any extra sanctions
.I had to look up Paddy M.
