Which is why instead of a 1-to-1 proposition, be it lasers, SHORADs, SAMs, MANPADS etc. I suggested using good ol' ack-acks as a cost-effective alternative, maybe even an actually effective countermeasure against swarm attacks.

.. again, there is no "cost effective" counter to saturation attacks.

That's the whole point of a saturation attack.

And no, 'ack-acks' are not effective against anything, let alone AI enabled swarms of drones & CMs.

Al Jazeera, while live covering Ukrainian ambulances bringing wounded people from Irpin, accidentally films Ukraine Armed Forces personnel exiting an ambulance. i.e. they are using ambulances to move troops around.

Ukraine keeps pulling this Hamas grade bullshit. And the West still thinks they are "winning".
Not gonna justify this action, but aren't this kind of using civillian vehicles as transport to trick the enemy part of Asymmetrical Warfare?
I guess the entire Izyum area already cleared by Russian troops then
Huh...
Also i wanna point out regarding this, i heard that NATO or US based their analysis of Russian casualties by how many Russian Generals were killed and the comparing it with the ratio of their troops (for example 1 Officer KIA would mean 4 or 5 soldiers were also KIA), so far how many Russian Generals were killed? 4 or 5 right? Than how credible are this estimation of Russian casualties then?

By using civilian vehicles marked as ambulances to carry troops they just made those viable military targets. That is the whole problem.
It will cause more misery for their own civilians. But they don't care about their civilians much we already got that.
After that, they cannot say Russians are bad to bomb red cross buildings or ambulances... we have also video of them using schools and religious buildings... after that they cries river when a school is hit...

Chalk up another war crime to the Ukranians

If you were fighting non-state actors, sure because they tend to fall in some grey area of the laws of war which is why the US and Israel have been able carry out atrocities largely unimpeded. If the armed forces of a country are the ones doing it, though, it constitutes a breach of the Geneva Conventions, asymmetrical or not.

Pretty sure the Vietnamese nor the Muhjaideens didn't resort to using ambulances or sanitary-marked vehicles during their wars.

They still have something that flies, would be interesting to know from where they did come from. If it's from their Poltava Air Base, it will be interesting to see if they still have their tu-160 in one piece over there. Not that far from Kharkiv. Quite interesting that they have been able to go that far, where are Russian fighters jet air-air coverage?
All great questions. Who knows any details about this operation? Could the chopper have been flying at night, staying low to the ground to avoid radar detection? Kind of like what the Americans did when they got Osama and Pakistan was caught flat-footed?

They got the commander posting videos on Azov's twitter channel over the last 2 weeks. The previous ones had already gone quiet. If the top Nazis are dropping off like this, there can't be too many soldiers left, maybe 25%.

In terms of K/D I think we're looking at between 10-100:1. In other words, Mariupol has been an utter massacre for the Nazis, and urban fighting isn't working well for the Ukrainians.

The Deputy Commander to be precised, yeah he's the one who kept posting on Twitter.
Have seen the confirmed picture, not gonna post it here cause of obvious reasons.

Another mystifying choice in the Russian strategy: why are there still Russian units fighting to the east of Kiev when their supply lines are now completely exposed due to the recent territorial losses around Sumy and Kharkiv? Sometimes you just never know with the Russians. Every time you think they're fixing something about their strategy in this war, they go ahead and proceed to do something else that's completely moronic.
