Kremlin official says West has declared 'total war' on Russia
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday took aim at the sanctions the United States and other countries have imposed on Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, saying he believes that the West has declared "total war" on Russia.

Lavrov made his comments during a meeting in which he described actions that Western nations have taken in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine as “a real hybrid war," adding that "total war was declared on us,” The Associated Press reported.

Lavrov also said that he believes the West has a goal “to destroy, break, annihilate, strangle the Russian economy, and Russia on the whole,” according to the AP.

He then warned that Russia does have allies.

“We have many friends, allies, partners in the world, a huge number of associations in which Russia is working with countries of all continents, and we will continue to do so,” Lavrov reportedly said.

Russia invaded Ukraine a month ago and has since stepped up its targeting of civilian areas. The Biden administration this week formally accused Moscow of war crimes in Ukraine.

President Biden is in Europe this week meeting with European and NATO members. New sanctions were announced Thursday on allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Biden is scheduled to end his trip to Europe in Poland, where he will deliver a major address on Saturday. Poland shares a border with Ukraine.

The international sanctions have clearly hurt the Russian economy, though Lavrov emphasized that many states will decline to join that effort.

i like how there are stages to extermination...the russians are just "a little" at war with Ukraine...but the big bad USA has declared "total war"...not nice, civilized "little war"...where it's ok for the russians to kill innocent civilians, bomb civic buildings, destroy non war related infrastructure, and abduct citizens....nooo, the USA and the rest of the decadent west has declared "total war", seizing financial assets, and blocking russia from the world market. no bombs, no guns, no boots on russian soil...but we're somehow the aggressors.
i hope russia ends up so fucked up they will have to go back to subsistence farming for a couple of generations, and have to reinvite western companies back into the country to even have an economy after this, no matter how vehemently they swear they will never allow western influences to effect their society again.

Apparently the USMC is impressed with the switchblade and why they are reluctant to spread them around. However, they could give the Ukrainians a thousand and be able to account for them electronically, every time one is fired. These could stop most of the artillery attacks when coupled with other drones that can deliver them longer distances. Then there are the switchblade imitations the Ukrainians have made themselves. They could also take out AA defenses, and command and control speeding up progress on the ground.

The 'kamikaze drone' the US is sending Ukraine is a 'pretty powerful' tool for troops, top Marine general says

US Marine Corps Gen. David Berger said loitering drones give an infantryman "the power of an air wing in your hands."
news.yahoo.com news.yahoo.com

  • The US's latest security assistance package for Ukraine includes 100 Switchblade drones.
  • Loitering munitions like Switchblade are a "powerful" tool, according to the top US Marine general.
  • These drones give infantrymen "the power of an air wing in your hands," Gen. David Berger said.

The older population does appear to need a little incentive to drop Vlad like a hot potato, the younger ones who grew up with the semblance of freedom think differently or will soon. It's the Putin régime and those who enabled and aided him that is at fault, but everybody will be punished. As you know leaders can lead up like Joe, or down like Trump and the trip down is always faster than the climb back up. In Russia we see an extreme example of leading down, into the toilet.

The Ukrainians have updated their ballistic missiles with American help to hit precision targets of military value, the Russians can only hit areas and are useless against dispersed troops. The Ukrainians have more precision weapons, both imported and domestic and those are of much more value than dumb ones in killing enemy troops and destroying vital equipment.

The Ukrainians have just started officially receiving NATO aid, it was the EU, America and allies helping before, but the flood gates have been opened, just as the Ukrainians have trained and are continuing to train, extra combat troops, ready to receive the new modern weapons. Their trainers have been trained months or years ago in some of these systems by NATO, even if they never got them then, or in limited numbers for training purposes, so they can expand quickly if needed.

that would be awesome, if it's true.not just less enemies to kill, but more help killing those enemies, and a psychological effect on both sides, the Ukraines have to appreciate any help they get at this point, and the russians know they're fighting against people who know their psychology and weaknesses.
gonna take this one with a grain of salt though, until we see some confirmation. even if it's true, one unit isn't going to make a difference. if it's happening on a large scale, it could cut the time it takes to end this in half or more

The Russians expended a precision munition on that shopping center. They have them, but probably not many, and are likely holding them against the proverbial rainy day.

How many generals is that now, 6 or 7? There were many more colonels killed, looks like room for advancement among the junior officers who survive Ukraine. Probably every officer there will have a black mark against him and the careers will be ruined for failing Vlad the wannabe conqueror.

If there is a coup in Russia, losing in Ukraine might be the spark, some will feel the corrupt regime failed the army, not the other way around.

I'm thinking Joe might have helped with snuffing this fucker, he was a war criminal and up for special treatment IMHO, something like a drone strike or a long range precision missile attack. If you know he's at his headquarters giving orders on the radio or cellphone to murder civilians, you can do him from a distance with GPS guided munitions or drones.

There are few places a Russian can feel at home outside Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are the two main ones. It's like an American living in Canada or the UK, Ukraine is like Australia, they are suppose to speak English, but it's close!

Made in France I believe and as good or better than a DJI Chinese one. You can see how these little portable things would be very useful in Ukraine at this time of year when there is little tree cover. The DJI mini doesn't have a zoom, but it flies for miles and the drone can fit in one pocket and the controller and a spare battery in the other, it has a 30 minute flight time. A minimum amount of skill is required to fly them and they return to home when in trouble or low on power.

New Autel Evo drones are made in the USA (though company is owned by American and Chinese). The latest Autel Evo is on par with DJI Air2s and new Mavics pro, but in general DJI still rules. Unfortunately that is. DJI Mini is a kite with propellers in comparison though.

Chinese Drone Maker DJI Faces More U.S. Restrictions - FLYING Magazine

US puts drone maker DJI and seven other Chinese companies on investment blocklist | TechCrunch

The US government will place eight Chinese companies including drone manufacturer DJI on an investment blocklist for alleged involvement in surveillance of Uyghur Muslims.
techcrunch.com techcrunch.com

Main reason DJI isn't banned in the US like Huawei is cause of its huge market share (~75%) and the continuous demand for batteries and parts, a share they were partly able to gain initially by government funding and cheap labor. This put them ahead but there are good alternatives nowadays, like that Autel Evo.

They have them, just not in the numbers they told Vlad, like the encrypted radios, or night vision equipment, some of which was sold on the black market by officers.

I'm kinda surprised, because with a $100 RC hobby flight control computer with a GPS module anybody can make a GPS guided bomb, rocket, or cruise missile these days that can strike with in 6 feet, or FPVed to the target precisely. They can use Russian, European, American and Chinese GPS systems simultaneously for increased precision. This shouldn't be hard for a small team of engineers to do these days, adapting commercial stuff for war, it is cheap and looks like it would work in Ukraine at least.

I think the Ukrainians will be ready with new firmware for them to make them more secure and useful in combat. The DJI thing is well known in the RC and drone world and the Ukrainians formed their drone units from amateur RC people, drone enthusiasts engineers and companies started by them in the field back in 2015. They build their own drones too, including killer drones. To use the DJI minis securely, just cut off their internet access at the phone. They would be used tactically by combat troops, not intelligence. They can fit in a pocket, go for miles, give a God's eye view of the ground and you can even send them ahead at eye level instead of a man, to look for ambushes.
