The War in the Ukraine

It is pretty obvious the strikes at the Russian airbases could not have happened without US support to Ukraine. I am not saying that Ukraine could not modify those drones themselves, but they certainly do not have the capability for such long range communications or pinpointing targets inside the airbases without external support. The US is playing with fire here since they have basically struck a part of Russia's strategic deterrent. According to Russia's own nuclear posture this entitles Russia to strike back with nukes if they want to. For whatever reason some people in the US Deep State seem to want to start a nuclear conflict with this war.
1. communication is not necessary. A normal autopilot is needed.
2. "Sputnik Pritula" is even a meme by now. But passed you by.

Anyway, as usual... Oh, and by the way, what exactly has Russia "not shown" yet?

Kuleba had even prepared a list of what Soviet arms Bulgaria had and which should be given to Ukraine. It was about aircraft and air defense. The Bulgarian authorities refused to give these weapons, agreeing only for ammunition and shells.

Guess they were asking for Su-25's and maybe whatever remains on Bulgarian MiG-29 fleet.

An old kids toy I had many (many) years ago that was basically a large handheld dish with a microphone in the middle. You could point it towards someone talking 60 or so meters away and hear them speaking somewhat clearly. I wonder if its the same concept used in the Penicillin system.
Judging from what I've heard and read, probably not too far off (as far as Halo goes)
The difference is that you have many more of these posts networked and feeding into a computer system to process the data to give more precise locations.

Penicillin sounds like it is adding some additional sensors, but considering that large mast, acoustic will probably give the strongest data.

I think the response time of Halo is quite good. I heard anecdotally that it was able to muster a response from M777 vs. Mortars/Rockets fired from Technicals and able to wipe out the militants before they could scoot off.

Once opposition militants realized that the response was that quick, they only launched by timer/remote control.

"Now, a volunteer group called “Zemliachky” — roughly translated as “women compatriots” — is serving many of the 57,000 women in the Ukrainian military
...
Today, at least 6,000 Ukrainian women have deployed on or near the front lines, in roles like paramedics and intelligence officers — but also snipers and artillery gunners."

Ukraine is winning as usual...

This is more western propaganda. A few women will pose in uniforms and with guns for a photo op.

I'm sure NATO will switch to Polish conscripts before drafting Ukrainian women.

Meh I don't think NATO values Ukrainian lives that highly. When the men run out, its gonna be time for the women.

Since Ukraine only lost 13 000 since February ;) you don't need to worry, it won't be needed to conscript neither women nor poles anytime soon.

Alleged Ukranian MBT gets disabled and then destroyed by ATGM's

MOD EDIT: deleted unnecessary media of consumer drones dropping explosives on infantry with visible casualties
Two of the crew survived after two ATGM hits and cook off... they are lucky ! We have seen multiple video of crew getting out after tank disabling and destruction of T-72 too. T-64 have even ammo in the front near the driver... they need to be fast like hell to get out alive !
