I don't get it. Why post a video about this and get reprimanded by the Russians or Donbass militia? Why not just surrender to the Ukrainian forces and agree to play PR for the Ukranians in exchange for not getting shot?

The Ukrainian government just called Bellingcat's story BS
So i wonder why WSJ quoted it... hahaha. fukin Hyper first ask question later behavior prevail... and WSJ supposed to have journalist..
those $1.4T are invested in countries they may need it at some point.Norway will be more then fine whatever happens, first they are a NATO country so Russia is not going to invade.
They produce 100% of their electricity from hydro and still have lots of spare capacity to export, they produce as much oil per capita as Saudiarabia, four times as much gas per capita as Russia and have invested those earning into the worlds largest wealth fund currently worth 1.4 trillion dollars split on a country with only 5 million people.
Norwegians are the most lucky bastards in the world.
/ Their envious neighbor from Sweden.
it is not some engineering or agriculture capacity.
Another "wunderwaffe" story that reads more like a manufacturer's brochure rather than a serious analysis
It's all good and promising. Indonesian army has been in love for this missile for a while.
My complaints tho :
-Not fire and forget
-User have to keep "painting" the target
-The laser beam is suspect to detection by LWR's
In ideal condition, the HVM may quickly "bridge the gap" with its speed but the fact it needs operator to keep pointing the laser, making it suspect to harassment by counterfire.
Starstreak is junk. A laser guided manpad? LOL.Another "wunderwaffe" story that reads more like a manufacturer's brochure rather than a serious analysis
It's the modern version of the blowpipe which was just as bad. I bet it won't get a single kill.
Yep fire and forget is the way to go in Ukraine's situation.It's all good and promising. Indonesian army has been in love for this missile for a while.

This war has just become a repeat of the Afghan Soviet war where every country wanted to sell America their own platforms to show how good they were. A lot of them were complete sh*te like the blowpipe, but thanks to politics were pushed through anyway.
That selected banks include Russian Central bank, doesn't it?Only select banks were banned from SWIFT, so they can still use or access Euros and Dollars.
Germany is currently still paying in Euros and Dollars for Russian Gazprom imports.
Foreign reserve's purpose is that when a Russian company need to import anything like phone or cloth, it gives its rubel to commercial bank and gets foreign currency, let's say Euro. Then the company uses Euro to import from foreign market. The commercial bank in turn gets Euro from the Russian central bank when it runs out of Euro.
Even though that commercial bank is not cut off from SWIFT, there is a huge shortage of EURO in the whole Russian Forex reserve. When these commercial banks run out of their Euro, where would they get the needed Euro with Rubel? Certainly not through SWIFT from Europe, but Russian Central bank.
Therefor, sanction on Russian Central bank and freezing its Euro asset is a sanction on the whole Russian financial system and the whole Russian population regardless who is on the sanction list. This is exactly what the western sanction on Saddam Hussain did to the whole Iraqi population. "Targeted sanction" is only a cover up to fool the wold populace and for the westerners to pretend innocence.
So the only sensible thing for Russia to do is to break that sanction by demanding Rubel payment, or cut off the oil and gas to Europe.

Quoted for posterity

According to Zelensky the devastation is worse than in Aleppo.
