Is it me or has it gone quiet on the Iranian drone front? How many drones did they buy from Iran?

Is that real? That's got to be the biggest swarm caught on camera in the conflict so far.
The are promoting Kh-58uske missile for export Su-57E. and this most likely missile they are using it as it has capability guided by aircraft acquisition system. size of this missile is about same as R-37MDon't think Su-57 can fit R-37M internally. Su-35 is capable of firing and guiding R-37M so why use a Su-57 for this purpose unless it just so happens to be flying such a mission with R-37M either on the wings or does carry the missile in bays.
The Kh-58UShKE missile can also be used by advanced multi-role aircraft in internal configuration (from a UVKU-50 type catapult launcher).
if target is at low altitude it may show up. it is not like these missiles are at maximum speed at all flight profiles.A R-37M would not be visible or recordable by residents of Kiev.
Which war ended because civilians suffered too much? Not too many. This is getting close to a war of ideology at this point, so I don't see how lights off is going to bring Ukraine to the talking table.you dont seem to understand that these hits on infrastructure actually does have an effect on the frontline. the more suffering and inconvenience is brought to the rear, the more likely commanders on the front will come under pressure to seek decisive battles. this will lead to tactical errors and otherwise avoidable losses.
Russia has been saying it since March 6th.If you've been paying attention, the Russians are making a lot of noise about a dirty bomb. The threat has been conveyed to the US via defence ministers, and apparently it will be brought up at the UNSC tomorrow.
FWIW I think it's a credible threat. Ukraine has a lot of fissile material stockpiled at its nuclear power plants. They are ostensibly under IAEA safeguards, but they can be bypassed (e.g. Iraq and Israel).
Even without a fissile material Ukraine has tons of radioactive waste. One source of revenue for the Ukrainians has been to be a dumping ground for other countries nuclear waste. Build it into a bomb and you have an Al Qaeda style dirty bomb.
I've noticed the only time the US drops their propaganda is when WMD is involved. When Ukrainians claimed Russians attacked a NPP, the White House publically denied it. The same happened when the Ukrainians claimed chemical weapons were used in Mariupol (a claim the UK government repeated).
According to one Russian YouTuber, Russia was suffering paint problems already 2-3 months ago. She showed Russia made products in a supermarket lacking the usual colors.Why would they run out of paint? They have their own paint manufacturers and it’s not like they can’t buy it off the global market.
The US War in Yugoslavia. But Serbia had basically no one supporting them lest of all pushing them to continue at all costs. The Ukrainian elites are fully in on this war since they can just flee to the West even if the whole country goes into the shitter.Which war ended because civilians suffered too much? Not too many.

Making pigments is a lot harder than some people think. But the paints you use in paper and metal are not the same thing. Besides the civilian sector is one thing and the military sector quite another. For example Russia has certain kinds of military specific paints applied to tanks which you won't be able to find in the commercial sector which improve tank stealth characteristics.According to one Russian YouTuber, Russia was suffering paint problems already 2-3 months ago.
