News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [1150]

Can you post pictures of your HAM rig?

It will be not so pretty now..;) Icom IC-7100 have external controller (separate front panel connected to main unit by cable), so main unit is placed in a remote corner of workbench.

I can offer much prettier photo of IC-7100 from Internet. There is two backup rigs here (FT-900CAT and FT-450AT), but both is on storage shelf now.

I want to be on that fast train from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

If you wish REALLY fast train, go to Shanghai, and try maglev from city to Pudong airport. ;) Been there, seen that. But for rail and climate with snowy winters, the one between Msk and Spb is quite decent.

Velund shows up rarely

Rich, I need to do my work, and there is more and more orders last couple of years. Because when customers come to dealers of our chinese competitors that offer quite a bit cheaper equipment, similar to ours, and ask "can you add a little feature to assure compatibility with equipment we use", usually answer is negative and immediate. Blah, blah, chinese factory makes millions of unit yearly and cannot distract their engineering resources to make a customised versions of firmware for customers who buy hundred or two...

I even refused to become a team lead of R&D dept, because that assume additional administrative load...

When I will be retired, like Milo, and will have a lot of time to spend for some BS - I probably will have chances to visit forums more often. But more likely I will spend free time to radio amateur hobby and will travel to activate various places where people forgot what is HAM radio... ;)

We won't fall for anything that obvious.

Judging by how enthusiastically you reacted to the stories about Skripals and Bucha, there's no need a lot of effort to deceive you; you're happy to be deceived. ;)

Send something real and you will see if our AA defense is no existent.

BTW, there is elevated chances, that Article V will be "field tested" sooner that anyone here think...

Maria Zakharova said, citing Hungarian media, that Kyiv is preparing a large-scale operation "under a false flag" in Romania and Poland. Kyiv's goal is to create a casus belli (pretext for war) between Russia and NATO.

▪️Ukraine intends to send refurbished Russian Geran UAVs under the guise of large NATO transport hubs in Poland and Romania, blame Moscow for everything, and provoke an armed conflict.

"Bankova is preparing its own 'Gleiwitz incident'* with the aim of creating a casus belli for war between Russia and NATO," Maria Zakharova wrote.

▪️Geran drones, previously repaired at the LORTA plant in Lviv, have already been delivered to the Yavoriv training ground for the provocation. Zakharova stressed that these actions are caused by the crushing defeats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which "are becoming strategic in nature."

If this information is confirmed, then "never in modern history has Europe been so close to the start of World War III," she stressed.

some people here will still claim that you are a bunch of drunk orcs unable to find a power button on a flashlight.

Of all life situations, the most advantageous is when your enemy overestimates your faults; the only thing better than that is when your friend underestimates your virtues. ;)

PS: New reactor technology will offer not just on-site spent fuel reprocessing (but fuel is in reality enriched with fissile materials, not depleted, after that reactors), but also minor actinides, extracted from irradiated fuel, will be "burned" on site in the same reactors, so that reactors will destroy majority of nuclear waste they produce.

natural resources (including uranium)

Uranium becomes not not so crucial resource for Russia now. Rosatom is expect to close nuclear fuel cycle in 2028 after start of BREST-OD-300 reactor together with on-site fuel reprocessing facilities. So, it is expected that Russia will have depleted uranium reserves ("tails" from enrichment both for military and civil projects ) enough for approximately 2000 years for new generation fast neutron reactors at current electricity production rate.

From Tatyana Montyan tg channel.

French nuclear toastmaster and interesting contests

Under the pretext of protecting against Russian drones, France sent three Rafale fighter jets from the Escadron de Chasse 2/4 La Fayette strike nuclear squadron to Poland, according to Defense24, based on an analysis of photos of French fighter jets arriving in Poland. Moreover, we are not talking about just any fighters from the squadron, but specifically nuclear weapons carriers, or more precisely, ASMP-A missiles with a thermonuclear warhead with a yield of 300 kilotons.

It is not known whether the thermonuclear missiles themselves were delivered to Poland, but the fact remains: the Rafales sent to Poland are not intended for shooting down drones, but for other purposes. This means that, for the first time in history, NATO nuclear weapons carriers are located approximately 100 kilometers from the border with Belarus.

This is an unpleasant situation, even if it is only a demonstration - and it is certainly only a demonstration. I would add that waving a nuclear club in front of Russia's nose on the part of France is not a very wise move: France's 290 nuclear warheads are no match for Russia's arsenal of nearly 6,000. Well, we can congratulate the Poles on the fact that the Minsk-Mazowiecki airfield and its surroundings, where the "nuclear" Rafales are based, have automatically risen to the top of the list of places where Russian nukes will fly in the event of any trouble.

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [252]

Now, what might be the reason for this inclination of Polish elites?

I think, there was traditional methods of MI-6. While suitable and promising "patients" is young, somewhat stupid/inexperienced, and cocktail of youth maximalism and hormones make whole body to act as a tail of the cock, some friends appear - always with money, know nice girls, and some funny ideas how to make government look dumb. Fotos, videos, other materials thoroughly accumulated, and at some moment offer that cannot be declined is made to future politician...

Rich, polish politicians suck british dick, not american. ;) So, to be heard, Trump must show that CIA have more compromising materials about polish so called "elite", compared to MI6 files. ;)

I used the option "Szukaj z obiektywem Google" and it found no such thing. 🤨

I searched from Kazakh IP via VPN, and search results was totally different from the same from Russian IP address. I suspect, Poland have their own set of preferences and "taboos" in Google search.

BTW: You can ask Torq about their discoveries in "freedom of information" in a "free world". ;)

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [252]

Such news articles don't exist on the Polish internet:

A couple of articles, declaring published photos as fake, removal of few photos from some other public resources - and oops, there was no such thing at all. ;)

Hint - Google cache stil have some of photos, so you can find it by "search by image", but if you try to open them, you get 404... ;)

The same thing as with videos from bucha, where "dead body" reflected in mirror started to move once car with camera is passed by... ;)

here you have again an interview with the owner of the house

How many PLN is necessary (in addition to free roof repair) is necessary to get witnessing of sexual violence, made by drone engine, before it stalls completely in house? ;)

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [252]

because Ukraine doesn't produce those drones

Ukraine have lots of Gerbera drones, that landed or crashed on ukrainian territory after their gas tank is empty. Dirt cheap Gerbera accompany Gerans to increase chances of much more expensive strike drones to reach their target.

As you can see on yesterday's photos, drones that wasn't shot just planed and landed in the fields, almost intact. It is not a big problem to repair/rebuild a couple of dozens, maybe replace or reprogram flight controllers, refuel and launch them again...

At the same time, all you can get from Geran is a small pieces, that remains after warhead explosion.

So, an unarmed drone, slightly larger than Gerbera, testing our air defences.

Or construction workers who made its work with roof, and building owner decides not to pay anything at all. ;)

Can Gerbera do this...

Now carefully look at photo. Glass is intact, so there was no explosion. No traces of fire. No any parts of drone visible, no pieces of polystirene foam (Gerbera fuselage glued from dense polystyrene foam). I don't know what can cause such damage as on photo, but I doubt that light foam drone will have enough kinetical energy to do so.

Shahed drones

All imagery that I found in a brief search, it was Gerbera unarmed drone (cheapest possible fake target for anti-air defence), and it was definitely not shot down, simply out of fuel. What is strange - it safely landed too far into Poland to be launched from Russia territory, according to known specs.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

Amendment 28: Voting shall be limited to US-born citizens over the age of 30 who served in the US Armed Forces and currently pay US Federal Income taxes

Nothing new in your proposal. In the ancient polis, to be able to vote, you had to be a free citizen with property in that polis and sufficient income, and you had to show up to vote in combat gear and with your personal weapon to show that you were willing to defend the polis in which you wanted to vote.

Those were the days when democracy worked.....
