Ukraine - Russia Conflict

====> "less javelins more tows." , I will simplify it further with numbers 1000 < 1500.

TOW operator has to guide the missile until it hits target making him more vulnerable to detection & counter fire. Longer range does not necessarily translate into advantage as it will give targets more time to move and dodge.
Hasn't affected Stugna-P operators to date much has it now? I suspect the reason is more to do with different functionality.
 


Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin (Russian: Александр Гельевич Дугин; born 7 January 1962) is a Russian political philosopher,[5] analyst, and strategist known for views widely characterized as fascist.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Considered by some in the West to be "Putin's brain,"[13] or "Putin's philosopher," Dugin is believed by some to have laid the ideological groundwork for the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022[14][15] as part of his advocacy for Ukraine becoming "a purely administrative sector of the Russian centralized state", which he refers to as Novorossiya.[16]
 
Soldiers of PMC Wagner spoke about the battles in Ukraine with the elite units of the Ukrainian army near Bakhmut. And the situation with the wounded and dead of the Ukrainian army. (video with subtitles)



Episode of the battle in Ukraine. Paratrooper units on BMD-4M airborne combat vehicles seized an advantageous line and ambushed a Ukrainian reconnaissance group. Then, with the help of the BMD-4M, a column of armored vehicles of Ukraine was attacked near the forest belt, which was moving towards the positions of the airborne units. Armament of the BMD-4M: 100 mm rifled gun 2A70, four ATGM "Arkan", 30 mm gun 2A72 and 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun.

 
Tactics of penetration in fortified area (urban?) of the Russians :

1 - spotting with the help of drone and tablet (use at the level of the sections thus)

2 - concentration of medium and heavy calibre fire on the identified targets

Dugin calls for an illiberal totalitarian Russian Empire to control the Eurasian continent from Dublin to Vladivostok to challenge America and "Atlanticism".[18][19]
Dugin's journalist daughter Darya died at the age of 30 on 20 August 2022 in the village of Bolshiye Vyazyomy outside Moscow when her car exploded.[34][35] Investigators said an explosive device was planted in a car.[35] Earlier in 2022 she was sanctioned by the West, her vocal support for the invasion of Ukraine was described as contributing to online disinformation in relation to Russia's invasion.[35]

Maybe they will be able to add lasing capability on the drones they use. They better do it quick bad weather season is around the corner.
The altitude the small ones fly at, it likely won't matter. Ground forces can also lase targets.
 
UK-Dockers at Britain's largest cargo port to strike
21/08/2022 | 02:40
LONDON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - More than 1,900 workers at Britain's largest container port will begin an eight-day strike on Sunday, in a new episode in a series of industrial action that has rocked Britain since the start of the summer.

Employees at the port of Felixstowe, located in the east of England, are demanding wage increases to cope with the rising cost of living.

"This strike will cause serious disruption and send shockwaves through the UK supply chain, but this dispute is purely a result of the company's attitude," says Bobby Morton, a representative of the Unite union.

"(The company) could have made a fair offer to our members, but chose not to," he said.

The port operator, Hutchison Ports, said Friday that its proposal to increase wages by 7 percent and pay a one-time bonus of 500 pounds (589 euros) was fair.

The operator had said the port's workers' union - which represents about 500 employees in supervisory, engineering and administrative positions - had accepted the offer.

Unite, which mainly represents dockworkers, said the offer was well below the current inflation rate.

"The port regrets the impact this action will have on UK supply chains," a Hutchison Ports spokesman said.

The operator said a contingency plan would be put in place and that it would work to minimize disruption during the strike, which will last until Aug. 29.

A jump in inflation - which reached 10.1 per cent year-on-year in July - and uneven wage increases have exacerbated union tensions in Britain in sectors such as the postal service, health care, schools, airports and the justice system.

Storm in a tea cup, unions love to strike even in peacetime, it's what they live for, everyone else just puts up with it. The inflation is due to the rise in fuel prices, which have now stabilised, in fact they've come down since July, so I expect inflation for year-on-year for August to be lower. The year-on-year inflation (month from last year vs same month this year) will remain where it is until March 2023, and then it will return to normal. Not really a problem.

The irony is, the very fact the union workers can afford to not to get paid for 8 days proves just how tight things ARE NOT!
