What fraction of the drones that ukraine appears to be using are domestic in origin; of those from elsewhere, what fraction appears to be of US origin?
There's this from February: Ukraine to produce thousands of long-range drones in 2024, minister says

I recall in the beginning of the war 2+ years ago, Ukraine was buying drones from Turkey (the Bayraktar drones?) but then started buying a lot of Chinese off the shelf drones and modifying them. From the article it sounds like they are buying parts and designing their own for a lot now. They claim to have purchased 300,000 drones in 2023 but don't breakdown where they are from.

Belarus scared of Ukrainian attack.
Quote:
Belarus is accusing Ukraine of getting ready to attack by sending more troops, weapons, and US-supplied military equipment to the northern region of Zhytomyr, which borders Belarus.

“We have information that Ukraine is amassing troops, weapons, and military equipment near our borders,” Lukashevich said. “In particular, American infantry fighting vehicles, multiple launch rocket systems, heavy long-range artillery, and other equipment have been deployed in the Zhytomyr region.”

Can't believe this is the current policy. War Crime Trials will not bring back the Dead or Heal the Permanently Injured.

Russia’s Most Dangerous Jets Are Parked In The Open A Hundred Miles From Ukraine. But Kyiv Needs Washington’s Permission To Strike Them.

Voronezh Malshevo air base is off the target list for now.

Voronezh Malshevo air base, in southern Russia 100 miles from the border with Ukraine, might be the most important—and most vulnerable—target in Russia. [...]

From the base, Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bombers belonging to the Russian air force’s 47th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment fly daily sorties lobbing powerful glide bombs at Ukrainian troops and civilians from 25 miles away or farther.

The carnage is staggering. [...

Since you went there 🤣 .. the entire US Space industry was built on the foundations of multiple literal Nazi SS officers smuggled out of Nuremberg trials via Operation Paperclip.



Eyewitness accounts of his prison laborers say that he dutifully turned up to work in his Nazi SS uniform 🤢

On the other hand, Putin personally lost his (elder toddler) brother during the Nazi siege of Leningrad and he was buried in a mass grave there. But that doesn’t seem to stop anyone from calling him Putler. 🤦🏻‍♂️

"Butwhaddaboutisms" not only demean this thread, they diminish their poster. And when they are not germane to the thread's topic, that's yet another strike against.
The preceding is the mildest response from your Moderator that will be presented regarding the subject.

So does this mean that no-one is allowed to counter SPadival's 'petty' attempt to solicit some kind of sympathy for the Russian Dictator and Mass Murderer?
