Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Camera drone just casually videoing after the bombings? Whoever was sleeping during drone jamming duty is not getting dessert rations.
It probably would make sense to jam drones around these bases, but I think that Russians simply didn't believe there would be any enemy drones 6000 km away from Ukraine.
russia is so fucking big, it's really weird that someone would think: "i want more!!! and i'm willing to destroy everything and everyone for it" 🤷🏼♂️
Their entire history, beginning from Duchy of Moscow, is being told as "that neighbouring tribe was threatening us, so we had to take some action", and that just happens over and over again until they reached Pacific ocean.
They had 3 wars with Chukcha people alone - and these people live in a region that would be best described as "frozen ass beyond polar cap". You'd think that people from swamps around Moscow would have no business occupying some frozen ass, but they didn't think so.
Problem is that they were not always wrong. Napoleon and Hitler are the most recent examples, but in history there are dozens more. Their western front was just too accessible in pre-modern times, impossible to defend 100%.
Not just big, it has plenty of towns and villages abandoned, which weren't abandoned for centuries before. There are growing populations of brown bears and various fish and what not in Tver oblast, or so I've heard.
What Russia definitely doesn't need is more territory, but, obviously, territory is not all Ukraine has, it also has people, and I think Russia's leadership was after more slaves.
fertile land, warm water ports, aerospace expertise..
Apparently these drones didn't use drone RFs they were using cell towers to fly.
I got from another article that they used the Russian communication network that is used for phones.
I read elsewhere that these were autonomous drones. It likely wouldn’t be terribly difficult to program a drone to fly to a specific location, look for something shaped like an aircraft, then fly into it.
You could also program one or two drones to fly to a specific location, record video for 5-10 minutes, then fly to a different landing zone where one person is waiting to recover the video.
The article said they’re FPV so I’m not sure how autonomous they were. Got another link?
Fpv implies someone watching the feed to control the drone in real time
Haven't they been using fiber optic drones to avoid jamming?
Not this far from the front lines. This was in the Russian rear.
They have, but this does not look like a fiber optic scenario.
Guesses: either:
Yeah, but you need to be pretty close to do that as you’re physically tethered to it. And I would like to think it’d be risky to deploy and use in this case - but could be wrong.
