Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-25

Some kind of wide area jamming technology that leaves your own forces cut off but if they are manned at least able to operate independently?

Supposedly the Ukrainian drones in this attack were able to operate autonomously - so they do not require a radio signal to operate.

Ukraine hits Crimea bridge. https://www.newsweek.com/crimea-bridge-hit-explosion-2080254

[Legbiter]

Yeah, Kerch bridge just went KABOOM!

[The Minsky Moment]

Looks like Ukraine does have some cards after all, and some big AP ones by the look of it.

Still hasn't collapsed.

Still hasn't collapsed.

If it no longer can be used by train and car that's equally good. Though I'd love to see that thing fall to pieces indeed

Let's see what happens after the next storm batters it. There could be cracks in the interior of the pillar that can't be seen, but are serious weaknesses.

or better yet: have it collapse while some cargotrains are using it.

It has been reopened bbc is saying.

Yeah, it was reopened, but has the damage been repaired?

Something like self-driving (or parked) cybertruck opening its hatch, to reveal some mortars or grenade armed drones to attack a specific person or location seems within reach of motivated small groups.

What are the main things that stops that type of attack in the future?

With a Cybertruck, it's the desintegrating part before the truck reach destination.  Losing side panels, jamming on the road if it's too wet or too cold.  It's good for getting notices on short drive, bad for anything else.

Also, not too many sold, the owner would easily be tracked.

If stolen, I guess, since there aren't that many, police would have an easier time searching for it than a Honda CRV.


But yeah, it's a risk someone could buy it, modify the software and operate it remotely to detonate it somewhere.

Though I believe the way they are designed, as we have seen with a previous explosion in January, it makes them poor vehicles for such attacks.

So I still enjoy following X/Twitter - not because it's a great news source, but it's a good source of some of the narratives out there.

As soon as the Ukrainian strikes on the Russian bombers there was this huge wave of posts about how Ukraine had literally "poked the bear" and now the gloves were coming off.  Forgive me, but I have trouble imagining that Putin has been holding back, three years into his Special Military Operation.

That being said - while I fully support this Ukrainian operation, it does open the door to what unconventional warfare in the decades to come is going to look like.  Much as how 9/11 changed the world of modern airfare, is this going to change modern shipping?

[Grey Fox]

For me, it shows the immense power China and Taiwan have will have in the future of warfare.

That is the Z version of the "Russia is going to collapse any minute" thing. Now Russia is going to REALLY get mad in send in all the forces they have been holding in reserve!!

Any minute now!
