Volunteers will be allowed for meat.

We are talking about the Russian volunteer units of the "Combat Army Reserve of the country,"

recruitment for which began back in 2021, six months before the full-scale invasion

of Ukraine by Putin's army.

Army Reserve units are present almost all along the battle line, but the Russian command

now has a dilemma.

In the locations where the offensive is planned, they cannot advance without a resource of

live waves - the very cannon fodder.

In turn, the convicts of the "Wagner Group" have run out, and the regulars are in no hurry

to throw themselves on the strongholds of the AFU and pave the way with their bodies.

Therefore, in the Lyman and Kupyansk directions, the army reserve will be used as live waves

to pave the way for the advance of regular units.

In general, the command of Russian troops invented their own "Wagner Group", whose carcasses

can be used to spam the enemy's firing positions.

Regarding the destruction of the American MQ-9 Reaper by Russian Su-27 fighter jets.

Gen. James B. Hecker, commander of the U.S. Air Force in Europe and Africa called what

happened an unsafe and unprofessional act.

In this context, I would like to remind you that the Russian military has a rich experience

of provocation without the use of means of defeat, which it has received from the USSR.

Even in Soviet times, provocative and dangerous actions of aircraft and ships against enemies

were practiced.

For example, dangerous approach of aircraft or pushing one ship of another from territorial

or neutral waters.

In the USSR, as well as in Russia, such provocations, without the use of weapons, were not uncommon

and even constituted an element of influence.

The Su-27 made an approach to MQ-9 Reaper with the intention to destroy it by means

of propeller damage.

Dumping the fuel before approach was due to reducing the risk of ignition and detonation.

It was a planned action.

Yes, General Hecker may call such actions 'unsafe and unprofessional,' but they were

actually carried out professionally and intentionally.

The objective was achieved.

For America, such drones are expendable.

Hundreds of Reapers alone have been built, and the US has hundreds and thousands of other

drones.

It's like commenting on a soldier losing a magazine or replacing a malfunctioning rifle.

It's a routine operational issue for the US.

Reapers have crashed and been shot down before, and they will continue to crash and be shot

down in the future.

Because any weapon is expendable, and a drone even more so.

Of course, there will be no military response from the US to these actions, as Russia has

disguised them as an emergency situation.

However, it remains to be seen what effect these actions will have on Washington when

forming the next package of military aid to Ukraine - that is the question.

After all, this challenge cannot go unanswered.

They know how to put all sorts of savages and bandits in their place.

Since we are talking about drones, I cannot help but share the latest Russian developments.

Russia is currently testing the latest unmanned aerial vehicle, the TrAMP or Transport Aviation

Multifunctional Platform, which has no analogues in the world.

Literally from the first minutes there were critical comments.

The first and most important thing that was subjected to obstruction was the design of

the aircraft.

It is not trampled on it just lazy and often called "flying shed": a hollow fuselage, like

an overfed catfish - straight uncomplicated wing.

Some kind of small, unsightly engine.

Only the tail looks like the tail of an American stealth plane.

And this is the last word of Russian drone-building?

However, "Russian experts" saw in the presented model something that the general public did

not notice - functionality.

The large size of the UAV makes it possible to carry and comfortably land bulky cargo

and even a person.

Knowing the level of corruption in Russia, I would be afraid to be a passenger in this

flying coffin.

Who needs a beautiful and efficient design when you can have a flying dumpster that can

transport people and things?
