Ecuador hotas i alla fall inte av en invasion, till skillnad från närliggande Guyana. UK har dock skickat ett örlogsfartyg till regionen för att avskräcka Venezuela.dr Cassandra Nojdh skrev: ↑fredag 12 januari 2024 7:34 Och vilka vänner sedan! Ecuador är ett land som just nu befinner sig fritt fall. Dessutom är påståendet tekniskt felaktigt, Ukraina har inga "allierade".
Ukrainian robotic tank strikes Russian positionsdr Cassandra Nojdh skrev: ↑fredag 12 januari 2024 15:42 Alla anser sig väl ha något att tillföra. Fråga är om det bara är knowhow, eller om det är hårdvara som kan sättas in på slagfältet. Det är det saken gäller.
Ukraina har många hemmasnickrade drönare, inklusive obemannade markfordon. Full tillgång till västerländsk teknologi skulle göra dessa fordon potentare.Defence Blog skrev:The Ukrainian military has unveiled rare footage of unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) strikes in an attack on Russian positions.
The footage suggests that the remote-controlled drone engaged with Russian military forces. The video captures the drone’s assault on one of the Russian strongholds positioned near a road. The outcome of the strike and details about the specific drone used in the operation remain undisclosed.
It is plausible that the robotic platform involved in the attack is the Ironclad, a revolutionary product engineered by Ukrainian innovators at Roboneers. This drone transforms the approach to warfare, contributing to the preservation of military lives.
ShaBlya remote gun turrets approved for use by Ukraine
Här är ännu ett exempel på ovanstående. På längre sikt kan soldater bli en större bristvara än fordon!Defence Connect skrev:Three of the armed and thermal/video image-equipped RWS, built by Lviv robotics manufacturer Roboneers, have been approved for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to a Ministry of Defence (MOD) statement published late last year.

The Ukrainian MOD has approved the ShaBlya remote weapon station for use in conducting reconnaissance, identifying targets on the battlefield, for checkpoint and border defence as well as offensively engaging infantry, lightly armoured combat vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and suppressing opposing firing positions.
The rotating tripod turret system can reportedly be armed with a 7.62mm, M240 or M2 machine gun, automatic grenade launcher and other weapons to engage targets up to 1,200 metres away. It has also previously been shown using a Steamdeck console as its controller and aiming maintained on a video monitor from a distance of 100 metres via direct cable.
"Absolute sh*t": Russian military complains about the poor quality of North Korean shells
Iranska granater sägs vara bättre än nordkoreanska, men Ryssland kan inte förvänta sig några underverk från något av länderna - till skillnad från Ukraina.Mind.ua wiki skrev:"As for the North Korean rockets, according to the artillerymen, they fly almost half as far as ours," the channel's author claims.
Iranian shells leave traces of soot, which have to be cleaned from the firing pin, but fly "very well," the Portfolio of the General Staff channel writes. North Korean shells do not reach their targets, he adds, because the powder charge in the shells often does not match the declared one.

According to him, the Russian army should not expect any high-tech weapons from North Korean manufacturers, "if they are not able to assemble a simple shell for a gun."
Russia’s New Supersized Glide Bomb: Our Best Look Yet
Även Ryssland har hemmasnickrade lösningar, men fokus ligger på kvantitet snarare än kvalitet.The War Zone skrev:The Russian military has offered the first clear look at a new glide bomb conversion kit with pop-out wings for the massive 1,500-kilogram (3,300-pound) class FAB-1500 M54. This weapon is three times larger than the Russian bombs with pop-out wing kits that have already become a major issue for Ukrainian forces and that have prompted notable shifts in that country's air defense tactics. Wing kit-equipped FAB-1500 M54s offer a new and far more destructive stand-off strike option for many of Russia's tactical jets that also help pilots stay further away from enemy defenses.
