Appears that Ukraine pulled a fairly major attack on some Russian airbases recently. Not quite a spiderweb level strike but still impressive

and that for every drone that we see lauching a turret in to the great beyond there are 99 of them getting jammed you will never see.

>there are 99 of them getting jammed you will never see
Official stats are ~10% hit rate on the front and until I see any tracers flying in these deep strike videos I find it hard to believe it is there or if it is there that they are crewed 24/7.
>>
>>64812508
Why are you getting upset at the meme of 'what air defense doin''? That was what a Russian said on telegram after something got hit. It has nothing to do with people believing that all drones hit their target and shit. What a baffling conclusion leap on your part.

This isn't one strike, it's a 2025-best-of clip showing some of SBU's Alpha group's aircraft kills through '25.
They presented it in economic terms.

Unironically, yes. Russia has forced onto their people the idea that going without and living in hardship is a positive and makes you (not us) stronger. Unlike the degenerate West who have everything and it makes them weak. Conversely, if you're indoctrinated to think having little is good then when you lose what little you have through hardship (like a war) then you don't have people rising up because they have been taught that this is actually positive for the people. Anybody who might question it are told that when 'total victory is achieved, everybody will benefit' and that they will get what little they had back, maybe a bit more (but not too much) the fact they don't and won't is irrelevant.

Don't forget the 'Good old days'
We're going to have a war, clean up all our borders and then Russia will be back to the good old days going forward. All the pensioners cheer as they get enough cash to buy and extra can of cat food for sunday lunch, safe in the knowledge that while they live like niggers, the decadent west is hanging out for heroin tuesday and had to eat all their sparrows.

I'm impressed/scared that both sides are still getting Su-24s up. Maintenance-heavy swing-wings that weren't exactly the most produced design to begin with, and some have been pieced together to keep flying. The conflict's given me a respect for them.

It's the revetment one that gets me because it's not like there's money required. You can't shrug and say it's because the general embezzled the hardened aircraft shelter budget. They're earthworks. You can made them out of whatever you find on the ground because they're literally *made of ground*. "Cheap as dirt" isn't an expression for once. Do you have at least one hand? Then great, you have all the tools you need to build a dirt mound.
>>
>>64815069
>Oh, but Russians are lazy
I'm not expecting the mobiks to show initiative in the matter. I know morale is non-existent, the pay is laughable, no one wants to be there. Ok, sure. But the Russian military is built on subservience. For fuck's sake, the rank structure is basically a pyramid of prison rape hierarchy. The mobiks are more slave-like than ACTUAL SLAVES were. If a plantation owner had called his slaves faggots and ordered them to walk straight into gatling gun fire, they would have brained him with a hoe and sprinted North. But a Russian with a loaded gun will salute and shuffle off to a painful death. We've all seen it happen.
Which makes the aircraft revetment (or lack thereof) issue wild to me. Russia might be the first civilization to collapse because the slave owners (officers) were too lazy to check to see if the slave overseers (sergeants) were too lazy to make the slaves (privates) do all the work.

only works in the US. Russia is now desperate enough to use people with missing limbs and physical disabilities that would make physical labor extremely difficult or impossible
>>
>>64815284
"prestige" is basically worthless though. russia is a capitalist country - if your prestige doesn't help you pay rent or something then nobody cares.
in the USA, military service has prestige AND monetary value (through the GI bill, DEI for veterans and veterans' discounts) but army service is still generally unpopular here anyway.

Unfortunately that would be Tu-95.
But seeing how those as well as MiG-31, Tu-22 lob missiles at Ukraine I wonder why there aren't more attempts on deleting them. Or maybe the missiles don't do that much of real damage and is a good way to waste Russian resources.
Loosing Tu-160 would probably hilariously piss off Monke, but AFAIK they're not used and DESU i'm a little sad seeing such pretty planes burn.

no money, basically need to do this before turning 18 just to be safe, more enforced now, 70+% never left the country overall
>go to college
Screws were being tightened over the years. Now less colleges provide "deferment" from service. Now colleges generally provide less positions, especially for non-technical positions. Also, during college if you use the "military class" you'll be automatically in reserve and ready for mobilization. If you don't do "military class", you're still on the hook for service until you're 28 (or did they up it to 30?), so after finishing college you're still not free.
>work in a "critical industry" e.g. as a programmer or a firearm designer
The "deferment" there is a willy-nilly type of deal. Today you have protection, tomorrow your own boss rats you out for mobilization.
>alternative civilian service (it's 2 years though so not a popular option)
Almost impossible to actually get it, it's not a "just choose this option" type of deal. Read up how much of a shitfest it is.
>bribe a doctor to say you have bone spurs or something
This was easy a decade ago, they're slowly tightening the screws. You can easily get a non-ideal "health class" and not get conscripted for regular mandatory service, but you're still eligible for mobilization.

They get sent to Kursk where they pilot long-range drones.
Or that's where they used to go to earn participation trophies and come back a decorated war hero, blessed by Putin and ordained to carry the siloviki into the next generation.
Ukies bombed several of those oligarch daycare postings so they're probably a little less concentrated and a little further away now.
Combat medals matter though and if you're not a kadyrov then you need to show up a little to justify the award.
The medals matter because siloviki are supposed to be hard, ruthless men who will fuck you up if you cross them and aren't afraid of anything.
We know the truth of course but image matters a lot in face culture.

My favorite was that Russian charity proudly announcing that they were able to scrounge up enough money to buy a new pair of crutches for a soldier who had his blown up by a drone. Not only are they sending cripples out onto the battlefield multiple times, they're not even providing them crutches to waddle out there on.

1. Denials of "alternative service". You can find media describing cases where young men applied for this "alternative service" several times, but the draft board rejected them, and the applicants themselves subsequently became subjects of "military service evasion" cases. I.e., attempts to exercise their legal right raised suspicions of evasion and even the threat of criminal prosecution.
2. A long battle through the courts and numerous refusals. Forum 18 and other human rights organizations describe cases where individuals - often various religious fucks, such as baptists, have applied for alternative civil service multiple times, been denied, and were forced to go to court. Such cases drag on for years and can result in conscription into the army without alternative service.
3. Problems with enforcing the laws about access to alternative civil service. Although the RU constitution guarantees the right to "alternative service", legal mechanisms are poorly implemented in practice. This means there is no clear procedure for ensuring this right in practice, especially if the military commissariat objects.
4. It's difficult to get a referral due to the commissions' demands. Basically, by law a person must prove to the commissioners that their beliefs truly contradict military service. In practice, this is a complex, personal process: they must justify their reasons for refusing military service, gather documents, and testify before the commission. The commission could simply refuse, even if their beliefs are sincere.

Modern browsers support unicode URLs.
On Firefox you have a setting that lets you copy full links without conversion, Googlejew doesn't.
But even without the setting (or Googlejew suppport), you can always just copy only a portion of the link so that it doesn't automatically change into ASCII-encoded blocks.
I went to the page, copied the link withou the first h and ctrl+v gives me:

Add the final h and you're golden, the link will work on anything and show vodkarunes/moonrunes/dunerunes/whatever odd crap you can think of that unicode supports and someone made a viable link out of.

we're talking about what rich people can do to evade service. and honestly some places that you might visit to evade the draft, such as georgia or armenia, have even lower col than russia
>tomorrow your own boss rats you out for mobilization.
they have literally no reason to do this if they wouldn't fire you. (you have to be really incompetent to get fired as a programmer)
on the other hand, you are right that this does make it more awkward to change jobs, if you lose mobilization protection when you leave your job. but there is a standard trick to avoid such problems: start your new job before resigning from your old one.
>Basically, by law a person must prove to the commissioners that their beliefs truly contradict military service.
if you say that military service contradicts your beliefs then the burden of proof is on them. they have to prove that it does NOT contradict your beliefs to draft you. if you do this, in practice they likely won't bother.
of course, few people do this because it means losing 2 years of your life and not just one.
