It's a bit unfair to compare MANPADS (#Javelin) to a squad-level weapon (#Stugna) -
- but yeah there seems to be a *gap* in the known & observed effectiveness.

#RedEffect delivers:

The Stugna (aka #Skif) #ATGM system is pretty neat, especially for defenses, static warfare & prepared ambushes. Also has a vehicular derivative for mobile warfare - a remotely controlled station courtesy of yet another #Ukraine-#Turkey cooperation.

This is *bad*.
About the only upside to this is slightly increased economic pressure for inshoring.

Much is being made of Putin's recent demand that "unfriendly countries pay in Ruble" for the gas exports. I see both a political and an economic angle to it.
2/
The internal politics political angle:

Russian propaganda tells its followers that it hits western nations must now pay in Ruble, and that this strengthens the Ruble.
This strengthens Putin's position.

Meanwhile western propaganda tells its followers that, after tough negotiations, they'll keep paying in Euro. Occasionally mentioned is fact that a russia-controlled bank will run the exchange.

A "win-win" for the propagandists.

Sometimes I check up on the loony left and boi it's a doozy.

In their mirror universe "Trump-Russia" is still hotly researched, and sometimes even "proven" 🤡

And of course it all arched, over *decades*, towards The Current Thing 🤡🤡 Image

A guy writes a long self-congratulatory thread over his long self-congratulatory article over his long self congratulatory book. The thread is full on 🤡🌍. Reject this nonsense.

The free article gets applause from his readers 😏 ImageImage

The guy, still very 🧂y over Trump's first term, calls himself "Trump biographer" 🤡 Image

Leftists will cry this isn't real democracy 😏
Leftists will cry this is a "provocation" and "existential threat to Russia" 😏

The other important development to watch out: how Germany ends up paying for Russian gas. Mixed signals so far - some say "will pay in EUR", others "will pay in Rubel", yet others "will do a conversion trick".

What do you suppose Germany will end up paying with?
