An anti-drone gun should be much cheaper and easier to make than a drone.

From Oleg Tsarev today -

"As I understand it, an anti-drone gun is a plastic case, a battery, a variable frequency generator and several antennas on a circuit board. We soldered frequency generators in electronics circles in the blessed Soviet era. The next step, who is older, soldered color music and receivers with transmitters.

The cost is only a few hundred dollars, and then because of the high price of the battery. It cannot cost two million rubles. True, I think that the efficiency should also not exceed a few hundred dollars, since serious jammers must consume a lot of energy. However, the principle of operation is the same.

If the gun includes a scanner that allows the device to detect UAVs in range and automatically tune in to the wave the drone is flying on, then the price can be tripled. This is the maximum price.

If the state launched the mass production of these products, then the cost of each would be comparable to the cost of a Kalashnikov assault rifle."

Насколько я понимаю, антидроновое ружье — это пластиковый корпус, аккумулятор, генератор с переменной частотой и несколько антенн на печатной плате. Генераторы частоты мы паяли в кружках по электронике в благословенное советское время. Следующим этапом, кто постарше, паяли цветомузыку и приёмники с передатчиками.

Себестоимость всего несколько сотен долларов, и то из-за высокой цены аккумулятора. Два миллиона рублей оно не может стоить. Правда, я думаю, что эффективность также не должна превышать несколько сотен долларов, поскольку серьезные глушилки должны потреблять много энергии. Тем не менее, принцип работы такой же.

Если в состав ружья входит сканер, который позволяет устройству обнаруживать БПЛА в радиусе действия и автоматически настраиваться на волну, по которой идет управление дроном, тогда цену можно увеличить в три раза. Это максимальная цена.

Если бы государство запустило массовое производство этих изделий, тогда стоимость каждого была бы сопоставима со стоимостью автомата Калашникова.

Let us sum up the substantive results of the year of the special military operation.

Pros
⁃ Russia included the hero cities of Donetsk and Lugansk in its composition, partially liberated four regions from the Ukrainian authorities. The country has grown 110 thousand square meters. km.
⁃ Most of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the year of fighting.
⁃ The Sea of ​​Azov became inland. There is a land corridor to the Crimea and the ability to supply it with water.
⁃ Society has lost a lot of dangerous illusions and for the first time really rallied for victory.
⁃ A start has been given to the health-improving restructuring of the entire Russian state.

Minuses
⁃ Donetsk and Luhansk are still not protected from Ukrainian weapons, on the contrary, they have undergone monstrous destruction and ruin, Belgorod, Kursk, and Crimea have come under threat.
⁃ Russia's defensive strategy based on nuclear weapons, missiles and a small army proved unable to ensure the country's national interests.
⁃ None of the social needs of society after the start of the special military operation was ever satisfied.
⁃ The army turned out to be far from being as effective and technologically advanced as most people thought about it. It turned out that there are serious problems with managerial personnel in the army.

The quick and beautiful victory hoped for in Moscow did not come about. A conglomerate of Western countries united against Russia.

Ukraine turned out to be not as weak, and pro-Russian sentiment is not as strong as it was thought. Russia had to make several tactical withdrawals near Kiev, Izyum and Kherson, which not only weakened the army and delayed victory, but also hurt public opinion and identity.

It turned out that many "large structures" simply do nothing and are not even capable of doing it. Society began to rebuild on the principles of cooperation and horizontal solidarity.

Russia was sick, and did not even suspect how much. But now it is recovering.

❗️👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻New Ukrainian economic feasibility

Our source in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said that the groupings of the Armed Forces of Ukraine received instructions to commanders of all levels to carry out explanatory work among military personnel, primarily those located in the combat area, as well as departing to the front line, about the need to sign a voluntary consent to burial in case of death in combat area. With further notification of relatives about the place of burial.
As a justification, the difficulties of logistics in transporting the bodies to the places of residence of relatives and the lack of a sufficient number of places for storing bodies in morgues are given.
In addition, as an incentive, all military personnel who signed such an agreement, in the event of death, will be awarded state awards, which will be transferred to their families.

If only more of us were like our grandfathers...

According to Karamarenko, during the 32 months that Russian forces were in Korea, they downed 1250 enemy planes. “Of that number the (Russian) corps’ anti-aircraft artillery shot down 153 planes and the pilots killed 1097,” he writes. In comparison, the Soviets lost 319 MiGs and Lavochkin La-11s.

The air battle of Black Tuesday would forever change the USAF’s conduct of strategic aerial bombardment. The B-29s would no longer fly daytime sorties into MiG Alley. North Korean towns and villages would no longer be carpet bombed and napalmed by the Americans. Thousands of civilians were out of the firing line.

Clearly, none of the B-29s had a chance of flying more than 100 km into the vastness of the Soviet Union and remaining unscathed. “It can be said with confidence that the Soviet airmen who fought in Korea, causing so much damage to the enemy’s bomber aviation, had put off the threat of a Third World War, a nuclear war, for a long time,” says Kramarenko."

Oleg Tsarev about comparison of Prigozhin and Trotsky - For deep thinkers and the historically literate only!

"Here, I found it in a telegram. Someone had an association - Prigozhin and Trotsky. Two bright and talented people.

The difference between them is that Leo was the son of the revolution. The revolution created it. And Eugene is a harbinger of change. I hope that evolutionary, not revolutionary. Trotsky was slandered after his death. Prigogine is fighting lies now.

Yes. And further. Trotsky did not take care of the fighters. At all. Prigogine saves. Trotsky created the Red Army and led it to victory. Prigogine only announced that he was creating it. But I have no doubt that if he had been given such an opportunity, if he had succeeded in breaking the resistance of internal opponents, then we would not have had to beg for negotiations from Ukraine.

Yes, and do not rush to Evgeny Viktorovich to draw the fate of Lev Davydovich. Times are much more humane now than ever before. Let's hope he still fights for the good of the Motherland."

Вот, нашел в телеграмме. У кого-то возникла ассоциация — Пригожин и Троцкий. Два ярких и талантливых человека.

Разница у них в том, что Лев был сыном революции. Революция его создала. А Евгений — предвестник изменений. Надеюсь, что эволюционных, а не революционных. Троцкий был оболган после смерти. Пригожин борется с ложью сейчас.

Да. И еще. Троцкий не берег бойцов. Совсем. Пригожин бережет. Троцкий создал Красную армию и привёл её к победе. Пригожин только объявил, что её создает. Но у меня нет сомнений, что если бы ему дали такую возможность, если бы у него получилось сломать сопротивление внутренних противников, то выпрашивать переговоры у Украины нам бы не пришлось.

Да, и не спешите Евгению Викторовичу рисовать судьбу Льва Давыдовича. Времена сейчас гораздо более гуманные, чем раньше. Будем надеяться, он еще повоюет на благо Родины.

Everyone should look this up. The names of the programs I wrote on the rhs of the document.

Commander Khodakovsky today about war and Heroes -

"Few people in the war themselves ask for feats. Even incorrigible romantics begin to quickly realize that war and heroism are incompatible things, if by heroism we mean the whole set of properties of an act that is created later, already in a non-military environment, to make war attractive. At the moment of the fulfillment of the feat - "everything was overcast and gray, and the forest stood as if inanimate."

When the task was to attack, we attacked. Now the task is to hold the defense - we hold. Every day we are blizzarded, we snap, sometimes we strike ourselves, after which the enemy tries to punish us ... Yesterday we lost a guy from football fans - a fragment from a shell. They took him quickly - after all, they learned something - but a piece of metal made such a path inside a person that he left no chance. Kingdom of heaven to our warrior.

And yet, arriving at the war on the agenda, and arriving at it voluntarily are two different things. Now it is gradually forgotten, but nine years ago I commanded perhaps the largest unit in the rebel territories, which consisted of volunteers. It was they, the volunteers of all the detachments, who took the brunt and survived. They still play a significant role, and I feel deep gratitude to them. This is our salt of the earth."

"If only the US BANKS had been as smart as Russia was"... No, don't say it! The MOST important thing you have to understand is this - They are not "stupid". THEY ARE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. Note - they themselves, who own and control the banks and the Federal Reserve are getting RICHER by destroying the US banking system. They got their money out, and if you have money in ANY US bank, you better do the same today.

🇺🇸🇷🇺  The US Treasury: The Russian Federation has reduced the volume of investments in American government securities by nine times.

The volume of investments in January was $67 million, while in December it was $629 million.
Meanwhile, the yuan and the ruble have already taken up half of Russia's foreign trade settlements. 

The share of currencies of unfriendly countries (dollars and euros) in export payments has greatly decreased—from 87% (as of the beginning of 2022) to 48%.

Excellent news, if accurate. Oputnoye has been a MAJOR ukrop base for years.. We fought a lot of battles with ukrop nazis stationed there when I was at the Bilzna position in Spartak in the Spring and summer of 2015.

The situation on the Avdda front from American analysts:
"This morning the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine mentions Stepov for the first time.
The settlement is located outside Krasnohorivka, it seems that the previous rumors were true, and Krasnohorivka is no longer controlled by Ukraine."

We will wait for official messages from the Civil Air Force of Russia
