Now the only thing they need is actively fighting and scheming between each other and then that will actually become an alliance thats worth the toilet paper it's printed on.

Sure, that could be a consequence in the long run, but it would be pretty bad for our immediate situation.

Hope, this doesn't go anywhere. NATO is frail as it is.

It's so sad and bizarre. All the nations just stand by like idiots, while this one bloodlusting madman butchers all around.

I believe it's a real weapon. Although I'm sure those are not steel plates. Probably something like led. The other video from that crazy guy is also shot at something very close.
I'm wondering what their effective range is.
In any case, if Russians get this in any significant number it will set a dangerous precedent.

How real is this?
I'm sure the Chinese see the amazing opportunity to test their weapons and thats understandable, but if they deploy a bunch of them that would be a really bad sign and would mean china might get Russians other advanced weaponry.

Let me guess: Russia should bomb Ukraine, because USA does it in other places.
You are so pathetic.

I don't care for comparisons, but the comparison to 9/11 is not really accurate.
This is a war between neighbouring countries, one of which calls itself a super power, yet has not only completely failed to achieve it's goals, it has depleted itself doing it. It has practically destroyed all it's weapons, which were before the war thought of as limitless, it has reduced it's gas pump economy to ashes, it has destroyed it's status and already lost it's sphere of influence in Syria and elsewhere and ... wings wheel above in silent loops.... If you know what I mean.
NATO is of course needed beyond Russia, stupid question. Plus Russia still has nukes, which would be safer if Russian state somehow survives this war.
What I'm saying is no propaganda, just a very very sober assessment of the current situation.
Russia has lost immediately when it was clear, that it cannot take Ukraine. It's perceived status as a super power went down the drain and nobody is taking it seriously anymore. It cannot project power, it cannot hold a sphere of influence.

It's not only what they did, but how they did it.
First of all the loss of this aircraft is substantial. They don't have many more of these aircraft and likely not all are operational at every time, especially now when it's hard to get parts. And these planes are full of western parts.
And another thing, is not like Russia can throw everything at Ukraine, it's got other borders to watch.
The second part is how they did it. They snuck into Russia with weapons and carried an embarrassing blow against a country that is basically fighting this war to keep its status as a super power. And this country that they don't even consider as a country did this to them from the inside. Thats just weak and it's there for everyone to see. This is shouting for everyone to hear: Russia is no super power, it's no power at all.

It really sucks that we got this war at the same time as ai.
If we didn't have this war, ai weapons would be untested for years in domain of US and China. And even them would probably have a limited number of them, possibly so overengineered that nobody would think of mass scale usage.
Now this f**cked up weapon is really a necessity.
Can't get that star trek TNG episode out of my mind.

What if these traps would be generated everywhere. If each site had one. You could not train a model anymore, and except from intensely curated content. That would be interesting.

The trap is generated only once, you don't need to generate it on the fly.
