Russia just upgraded their defenses, Ukraine doesn't stand a chance next time

In the 4th year of the 3-day special military operation, victory is near

Ukraine: Look at me, I'm doing the special military operation now

I swear to god. I was scrolling and read this and actually thought it was serious at first. Had a good laugh afterward, so thank you.

I thought I accidentally unblocked hexbear or something Lmao.

Ukrainians used drones and a complex planned out attack to destroy russia's military equipment...russia just used a pencil instead!

Well you have to understand, Soviet Russia beat the US in the Space Race by sending cosmonauts with pencils. The Americans spent tens of millions of dollars developing a pen that works in space. They are wasteful. It's not like pencils create any graphite dust that could potentially clog the air filters on MIR.
- It would also be crazy if instead of spending millions on R&D, they just bought the pens from a company at MSRP...

Wild picture, that reminds me, did you know that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through a Torpolev Tu-95?

Already anticipated by the Ukrainians as they wheel out their newest anti-plane drones.

Fitted with a bouncy ball on the ventral side of the drone to allow for "skipping" into place under the plane prior to upward thrusting.

Sometimes the charge goes off immediately, sometimes it takes a little floorplay to prime. Preliminary testing has resulted in 9/10 devastated planes and 1/10 hybrid plane/drone offspring with a nuclear family.

Vintage Story allows you to skip stones off of water, because they decided to model that. I wonder what the modeling code of a drone skipping across a battlefield looks like.

Should be marked though
- I don't think people in this sub in particular care all that much

The amazing thing about this to me is these were aircraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars each, parked out in the elements.

Even without the threat of enemy action, surely that would cause maintenance issues?

The budget for reinforced hangars is floating in the form of giant yachts around the world
Hangar space is incredibly expensive in the bulk quantity and size needed for a large air force with some of the largest planes on the planet.
- Yeah, but compared to the capital cost of the aircraft, is it really that expensive?
The US basically stores hundreds of B-52 airframes out in the elements. Admittedly the worst those airframes see is the occasional haboob, aka sandstorm, or some torrential rain, but that's only a few days a year.
Of course that is the boneyards in NM and AZ. The operational ones are kept in hangers at Air Force bases in the middle of the Continental US. I don't know if those are climate controlled, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.
Oh, right. The B-52 is the plane that the USSR was copying when they made the bombers that were just blown up.
Also storing them in a hanger wouldn't matter to most of these drones since more often than not the hanger doors are left open, and even when closed they are typically made of sheet metal. So the Ukrainians would have just blown a hole in the sheet metal before driving the next drone into the bomber.
This operation was some serious Tom Clancy style sci-fi military intelligence porn come to life.
You could just store them in tarp tents or something. Also, build a bunch of fake tents around, now you doubled or tripled the amount of targets the Ukrainians have to hit.
But Russians don't think that way. Maybe, they don't think at all?
- The Ukrainians have satellite photos and live drone coverage. They have proven their abilities to penetrate both camouflage and Russian cope cages.
  Meanwhile the Russians can't manage to produce their own microprocessors, electronics, or even basic fabrics. What makes you think they are spending their limited rubles on tarps?

Where is fluffy spicy feeler tank – version

I swear they are verifying results of failed ML models for Grok using a Code Bullet failed intern

Please let cyber trucks be their next big mobile advancement

Check out LARPing as a dwarf ramzan kadyrov

Ha ha thank you for the real laugh!

Is that Otto at the controls?

I think they are trying to protect against those spicy explody drones that keep landing on their cool toys.

The only thing that makes me even a bit sad is that much like the Anotov AN-225 Mriya, these Russian versions of the US BUFF can't be replaced.

I don't approve of what they have been used for, and don't approve of their use at all. Much like I don't approve of the US using their B-52s, aka Big Ugly Fat Fucker, aka BUFF.

I hope Ukraine manages to force a Russian surrender before all of the examples of halfway decent Soviet engineering are destroyed. We need to keep some of them, if only as examples of what NOT TO DO.

Nah, burn them all.
