Bingo, that shit box was an Aeroprakt A-22 ultralight that only costs $80k.

A fricking patriot missile costs over a mil, are you telling me Ukies can field a whole fleet of jihad planes for the price of a single missile?
Frick, what even is this war? Actual fricking kamikaze planes, tactical golf carts, Aliexpress drones, airsoft vests...
What the frick is this clowncar of a war?
I think Ukraines V1 rocket remake is only 10k
This post only furthers my question.
When this all started, I legit expected Russia to showcase its "second army of the world" by some 14D super Spetznaz stuff with VDV blanketing the sky, massive pushes of combined arms, with Ukraine creating a heroic defense.
Instead, clown music playing as a single golf cart unloads mobiks in front of the trenches while a civilian drone flies towards them, second year of the masterstroke two-day invasion, Russia now a pariah state sustained on fricking North Korean artillery shells, European energy market lost to them, front moving 7km in three months...

Reading this, and checking the date, it dawned on me, and my calendar challenge was overcome. We have indeed entered the third.
Defense has cost more then attacking for a century now, which is why the US has places such a big emphasis on being the ones doing the aggression in any conflict, even if it's nominally a defensive war. However, something like this doesn't require a Patriot, even a Stinger or other MANPAD, which is gonna cost a similar amount to the plane, would have been more then enough to stop it.
Slavs
fwiw I'd bet the drone conversion cost a lot, maybe more than the plane itself, but yeah it's definitely pennies on the dollar compared to Western defense products. That said it's only effective because it's being used against a disorganized and under-equipped enemy.
this. People take away the wrong lessons from the conflict the main one being mainly that Russia is incompetent

Eastern Europe is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

And importantly, it's a Ukrainian designed/manufactured aircraft so they can make more of them readily.
>and you can build a kit at home if you want to go full SHALL
>only costs $80k.
It's actually $60k... I remember them costing $32K locally a few years ago
I'm glad its not a Cessna because I really don't want the already expensive fleet to get even more expensive. Fricking flight schools eat those things up like candy.
>tfw a Skyhawk was like 30k pre COVID and is now 60k+
it was actually a beechcraft bonanza
God I love to see Russians running in fear. I wish Ukraine had had the capacity to launch 1000's of drones at Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Sounds like a mental issue

You know, I've sometimes wondered why a Muslim cell never decided to just rent some private planes to cut out the hijacking workload, but this aptly explains it.

Black folk stopped closely documenting the refinery strikes because they got "boring" after the Random TZD Event in Moscow. Apparently the RVC are still fricking around in Belgorod/Kursk too (which we know, because the RuAF is still bombing towns there).

To be perfectly fair, they were doing that before the rebels showed up as well.

This place is fricking done. At most, there's probably 10% of us who were here before 2020 still posting, and the ownership of this site has given up on trying to control the off-topic spam. The Ukraine shit has dominated discussion of this board for two years, yet is still allowed, not resigned to a sticky, or given its own place of discussion. Off-topic /misc/ shit has been ruining this whole site since the early half of 2016, yet it's still allowed. There's still a global rule about a cartoon show that hasn't been relevant since 2014, yet /misc/gays get away with off-topic spam every day for the last eight years.

You reek of fricking summergay.
As somebody who's been on /k/ literally since the beginning, it's definitely been at its worst since 2016 but don't act like there wasn't similar shit before that. At least Ukraine threads are talking about an actual ongoing military conflict, I'll take these over the endless SHTF or zombie apocalypse threads we had a decade ago.
Plus this is just the sequel to the clankening anyway.
The clankening never ended.
We must clank harder.
I think the clankening is a big reason why /k/ is generally pro-Ukrainian, aside from russian shills being mentally ill discord trannies even when there's not a war on.
At the end of the day, donning makeshift armor and medieval weapons, and going out to fight the government and the entire police force with sticks and stones for your rights, is incredibly fricking based.
And also know russians would never do that, since they're spineless worms who are addicted to autocrat boot polish.
It's literally the key fricking difference between the two sides - one country has a population who was willing to die for freedoms that we enjoy, the other is not. Which is why I can't take people seriously who say "But what can ordinary Russians do? If they stand up they might die!"
No shit. A hundred Ukrainians literally fricking did, and frick knows how many injured.
>Which is why I can't take people seriously who say "But what can ordinary Russians do? If they stand up they might die!"
Russians are literally built different mentally. They believe no matter what it isn't Putin that is at fault, but the corrupt boyars around him. If only they could warn Putin of the problems on the ground that are kept hidden from him, things would be solved quickly.
To ask them to revolt would be like asking Americans to go burn down the Statue of Liberty.
>Russians are literally built different mentally.
I've come to the conclusion that it's not that they're built different as such, it's that they've basically had a centuries long eugenics project that has culled almost all Russians that might have the spine to try and do something so they're left with a gene pool of cucks.
>If only they could warn Putin of the problems on the ground that are kept hidden from him, things would be solved quickly.
Putin will legit call it a lie and send the people who told him to the next meat wave.
>To ask them to revolt would be like asking Americans to go burn down the Statue of Liberty.
A lot of Americans probably would if they had any sort of incentive to.
What you have to understand about Russians is that as many as 80% are depolitised and just look after themselves. They were promised a Singapore situation where their life would improve if they only gave up their democratic freedoms. This worked for a while but it's blown up in their faces due to Putin's megalomania and his mafia looting everything not nailed down. Another fact was that the most dedicated anti-government resistants were kicked out the country during the soviet period and never returned.
Now they stay cowed because if they ever wised up they'd have to face the fact that they sold out their only chance at democracy for want of gucci loafers. The epitaph of the German resistance was:
>You did not bear the shame. You resisted .. by sacrificing your impassioned lives for freedom, justice and honour"
There might be AT MOST half a % of Russians that applies to.
Russians have always been fricked, sadly for them. After the collapse of the USSR things were hard but then from the mid-90s to the early 00s the natives were getting somewhat restless in their newfound freedom as they had seen what places like Poland and the Czech Republic were getting up to and despite the economic clusterfrick other things in Russia WERE improving - not to anything approaching a first-world standard given the hole they were digging themselves out of, but improving nonetheless. They were starting to sprout independent media outlets and look critically at some centuries-old sacred cows and then Putin came to power with the apartment bombings in his pocket and pretty soon it became clear that anyone especially inconvenient would end up inconvenienced themselves and if they persisted would end up dead - Litvinenko, Yushenkov, Nemtsov, Politovskaya, etc.
Yeltsin was a drunk and a crook who presided over catastrophic economic failure and appointed the current font of Russia's troubles but he managed to stop things from worse than they could have been and at least he was bright enough to recognize that Soviet Union was dead and it should stay that way. He was in an impossible position between the emerging liberals and the hardliners who felt that Stalin had been on to something and he managed to fumble through it without causing a nuclear war.
I think you're downplaying how bad the 90s in Russia were, and that is an important reason why Russians stick with Putin. But the catch is that Putin is also a product of the 90s as a kind of mafia boss in charge of a mafia state. You gotta remember the West supported Putin too in the beginning. The state unraveled so mobsters and other assorted "frozen-out" rough boys became the way to get anything done, and there was always a "guy" in your neighborhood who'd resolve things, and Putin became "the guy" for the whole country, so Russia could go on resembling something that looks like one. The separatist /k/ino from 2015 and is less about long-dead totalitarian ideologies but private military companies recruiting desperados, dead enders and convicts fomenting wars for the money of mafia state operators.
>Now they stay cowed because if they ever wised up they'd have to face the fact that they sold out their only chance at democracy for want of gucci loafers.
Think of a nation of Carmela Sopranos. They're a traumatized population which needs therapy:
>Brigada
insane how the majority of russians identified themselves with criminal bydlo characters, same as the bumer movie.
those russian crime dramas were basically copies of american movies such as the godfather, scarface, carlito's way, etc. and they inspired the same live-fast-die-young Black person mentality as the american ones did on their young and directionless poors. additionally movies about prison culture and meatwave bataillons are also very popular in russia. pic related is sort of the russian band of brothers. very popular in russia and certain parts of the other former sovshit republics.
there's a reason why wagner never had problems with recruiting from an endless seeming pool of prisoners and other morons to send them directly to their deaths. it's one of the highly honored (modern) russian traditions, a ww2 death cult basically
>it's one of the highly honored (modern) russian traditions, a ww2 death cult basically
Yeah, nah c**t.
Russia proper and criminality goes straight back to the mongols. The first step to unwrapping the mystery and uncasing the enigma within has always been that they've been cosa nostra gang banging detritus since the horsemen drove the vikings out.
It's NOT a modern phenomenon, it's deep within Moscow's bones.
If by therapy you mean napalm then I agree.

No one was doing ritual shitposts, no one was getting banned for being pro- or anti- anyone.
Everyone called the separatists as being useful idiots controlled by Russian glowies. You're conflating /k/ thinking Motorola and Givi were entertaining with supporting their position. /k/ was solidly pro-clanker.
I liked guys like Givi and Motorola for being funny morons in a war zone
Just as I liked the clankers sticking it to homosexual and burning down a APC that tried to and failed to ram it's way trough the fricking wall they build across a 6 or 8 lane road
The main difference being that Givi and Moto got murdered by russian glowies for not falling in line. The ukies didn't glowy their clankers.
The russian powers that be hate the kind of people I like so frick em.
>The main difference being that Givi and Moto got murdered by russian glowies for not falling in line
Difference being that Givi and Motorola were human sized pieces of shit who didn't give a shit about a country and just saw opportunity to steal as much as possible and becoming warlords. One good things Russian do is killing all their pawns
>All anti-Russian sentiment was literally because of Armatard and unrelated to the war
the russian shilling was ongoing long before Armatard and was first highly noticeable in 2014 during the war. This was when proofs, vatnik and beetposting made the linguistic jump from KCPrepHole to /k/

It’s literally an explosive device how non-weaponous can it be
always was
>jury-rigged kamikaze prop plane loaded with explosives
so it's just a cruise missile, except instead of a rocket motor, it instead uses a propeller?
are propeller-based cruise missiles a thing?
Shaeed is a prop driven cruise missile, but if you're asking in first world militaries? Nope, but the cost savings from using a prop vs jet aren't worth the increased ease of interception when the platform firing it costs so much that increasing the magazine depth to balance the interception rates is hilariously expensive.
>are propeller-based cruise missiles a thing?
Yes and no.
To be useful faster is better. Picrel (Long Range Conventional Standoff Weapon) is far better than any drone/shahed/etc.
Cruise missiles generally don't use rocket motors, they're either using jets or turbofans. The rocket motor is just a first stage booster, if it exists.
>prop driven cruise missile

My brain wants to say that missiles have to be rocket/jet powered(yes I know any projectile is technically a missile, shut up). Anything prop driven would range from Suicide Drones to Airborne-VBIEDs. I would lean towards the latter in this case.
Ohka feelings are hurt.

>Drone attacks beyond the Urals when?
When Putin relocates production there, anon.
There's a bit refinery in Omsk, it needs to be droned
noted
Helldivers deployed, locate objective within your area.
Not the next target. The best part of this to me, I warned Russians of the opera house attack on their gen an hour before. They called me schizo deleted half my posts.
Came back a day later told them they were warned they denied i was ever there. Then started moving the goal posts back on what I had said
Then I warned them of the car bombing in occupied areas of an official/Leo, then of this attack.
They called me schizo. Omsk isn't next. There are about a dozen spots and it's target of opp land. Maybe something changes but they are trying to make a point to Russians no where is safe. The farther out they go or closer to Moscow they get the better. Also it wasn't a cessna. Maybe 2 days until next boom
Also
I'm just a regular person. I just go to places where Ukrainians are at talking and it's just there. I thought at first I was being fricked with but no they just kind of talk.
You all can warn them of attacks they won't listen. Ukrainians are targeting anything technical dealing with energy. They want to get close to Moscow or far east. They are also going after cargo/amphibious/landing boats or whatever Russians call the haulers now. The insurgents want to kill off fsb agents posing as elected officials.
Go on warn Russians. Going by probability they will hit 2 of these 3 in the next 7 days.
Cap it
Is Gerasimov OK?
I don't know. I'm just a regular American. I can ask but I can't guarantee they know or will give a correct answer. They just kind of say things to each other. Russians are kind of stupid. I was actually trying to be a decent person with the opera house warning. Then I noticed Russians are brainwashed.
let's appreciate that this thing flew for probably 6 hours inside Russia without being shot down.
I measured 444km in a straight line from Alabuga, Tatarstan to the closest border, somewhere in Kazakhstan. The cruise speed on one of those babies is roughly 150km/h, so yeah, at least 3 hours.
I doubt immensely that they flew it through another country's airspace. that'd be a whole shitload of trouble if it didn't work properly and just an ATC hassle.
>let's appreciate that this thing flew for probably 6 hours inside Russia without being shot down
Appreciate that it was not detected at all until it was visibly diving on its target. There appears to be no air traffic control at all over vatnikstan airspace.
> *implications intensify*
You people…just…look at the CALENDAR. The video was posted YESTERDAY! Come the FRICK on!
say it three times and the Ghost of Beetlejuice will appear to (You) in a dream.
Will prime Winona also be present?
Some of Russia's more far flung areas are dependent on small cargo planes, much like Alaska. I can easily imagine a simple spoofing system fooling bored air traffic controllers in bumfrick until it was too late and getting a hit in the confusion. In the coming months we'll have to see if they'll shape up security protocol making it harder for something like this to happen again.
>bored air traffic controllers
do air traffic controllers have any roll in air defense in any country?
is there some contingency procedure that ATC falls in to once a state of war exists?
I could imagine a rural airport getting an unresponsive contact and not immediately hitting the panic button in most circumstances
who would they even contact and would ATC even have the ability/equipment to make an "incoming" call?
I was just watching some videos on aircraft "incidents." at least in the US if you enter their airspace and aren't in contact or go radio silent ever you get to meet some nice F-16s. Especially in the latter situation it seems to be more of a "hey bud, you okay?" sorta deal, but I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a missile ready for you just in case.
but you don't need a radio to fly certain aircraft or in certain situations though, right?
like an ultra light or hang glider
or if you are low enough I would be it's pretty easy to be written off as noise/birds
I also imagine ruski ATC isn't exactly at the same level of readiness
It was a channel on commercial aviation so I'm not sure. I think it has more to do with altitude and proximity to certain locations than size though, and I'd imagine if you've got engines, a radio and transponder would be required.
>or if you are low enough I would be it's pretty easy to be written off as noise/birds
Stall speed on these has to be too high for a bird and the signature would still be massive comparatively. A plane like that wouldn't be invisible if it were in radar range and above the terrain but it could be overlooked.
Nape of the Earth flying would get you around radar but could cause some (solvable) issues with remote navigation before terminal. I doubt anyone would call the cops even if they had a phone, so this and it being too small to care about is probably a large part of what happened.
>I also imagine ruski ATC isn't exactly at the same level of readiness
I'm not even prepared to credit all of them with being sober, so... Also, let's not forget the Kursk submarine incident; Russian comms being fricky even in the military isn't new, I can't imagine their civilians are better.
In the US you do not need a transponder or radio unless you fly in certain classes of airspace, With the class of airspace typically being g, no transponder required, and going up around airports, cities and military facilities.
And even if the transponder was on (adsb in the states) there would be no need to file a flight path. This would be identical to any general avation VFR flight, unless they saw it crossing the border. That usually requires radio contact. Even that can be pretty lax in the US, if you fly in from Canada, you just say where you are coming from and they will have you park and wait for customs when you land. I don't think you would get intercepted if you didn't radio crossing the border, now I want to check on that.
Ex-maint guy who spent a lot of time drinking with fighter pilots offbase. There absolutely is a missile ready. Several of them, in fact. They just don't paint the plane with the guidance RADAR until they've done their best to contact the pilot. Then the plane has some more time to react once they >do< light it up before they drop into a firing position. Shit was a lot more relaxed before 9/11, but even in central California my base still flew multiple intercept missions a year for planes that went dark and started wandering too close to the restricted area.
It's not a Cessna it's an A22 Foxbat.
was it confirmed the A22 and not the 32? they look a lot alike. it's like trying to tell a 172 from a 182 from a 206. pretty much just a matter of scale.
here's a pic post hit.
>was it confirmed the A22 and not the 32
look at the tail it's a22
>building says Geron
>look like it is Geroff instead
funny soviet double think
I know these aircraft are easy to fly but they are ugly as sin
Honestly, expected something like this but I thought it was too big to fly unnoticeable. Does it use some fake transponder data or so?
It’s literally unreal to me that people can watch an obviously fake video — ON MOTHER-APRIL-FRICKING-1ST and unironically believe it. The ONLY explanation is that they’re from countries which don’t have an April’s Fool day tradition.
Lowest IQ poster on /k/
This war is getting ghetto. Battle between the two poverty superpowers.
So Russian AA can down a Mig-27, but it can't down a A-22. What nonsense even is Russia's military. Everyone remotely competent, must've died already.
This video was posted aYESTERDAY, look at the FRICKING calendar!
The fact it happened at all is indefensible. How the frick is it not intercepted, a plane flies out of Ukraine into Russia and they don't scramble jets? Did they not shoot it down because it wasn't a civilian airline or their own plane?
lots of ways, a small slow flying aircraft that flies close to the ground and resembles hundreds of other bush planes can slip past the radar and I wouldn't be surprised if there were test runs for weeks or even months before this
Hiding in ground clutter doesn't work against modern radar. So that's probably what they did.
Bro…look up April 1st…

A new paradigm in stealth technology.
There was that time back during the Cold War when some absolute madman flew a light aircraft straight to Moscow and landed on the Red Square.
just buy the plane locally, modify in some babushkas sched, fill with explosives and launch from abandoned supermarket parking lot 10km from target? There must be thousands Ukrainian glowies operating inside Russia right now.
Anons, there is basically zero general aviation activity in Russia.
Why doesn't Russia have air defense near its important war assets?
Why would there be? There is no war, only a Special Military Operation.
Y'all know Russia have hundreds of air worthy AN-2 ready to go right? You fricked around and are about to find out
Russia's been redeeming Shaheeds for a while now saar, AN-2s won't be any harder for Ukrainian Gepard and AAA Technicals to shoot down than those.
yes they where talking about doing that mid 2022 so it's only been about one and a half years since then but we haven't seen any of them used.
me thinks that perhaps some enterprising fellow made off with the funds for greener pastures and no windows to fall trough
That thing with picrelated on passanger seat is my new favorite first strike weapon. It is likely to be not detected or underestimated as a threat and take down Russian leadership with a football and C&C center of russian NORAD, whatever they call it. While russian will be in shock and disbelieve scrolling their telegrams, Tridents will start raining on their silos and nuclear torpedoes taking out their subs. Nuclear war was questionably winnabe, with this kind of shit and curcumstanses (hostile UAV flying around without being news and causing any kind of attention) it is certainly winnable.
>they gmoded a plane with c4 and flew it into russians
Deargod if they glue a nuke to the cessna itl be all over...

Test
Unless Putin ground all the GA planes to the ground these things will happen again. Can't force every GA boomer to submit IFR plans so that they don"t get shot by their moronic air defense crews seeing a pixel on their radar.

Another one.
Why are they helping Russia to starve the developing world?!? Are they stupid
Anon, if there's one thing that can still unite Ukraine, Russia and NATO all together, it's not giving a single frick about starving Black folk.
That's actually fuel storage burning, the grain terminal is just nearby (may or may not also take damage, we'll see).
>2024
>Year 3 of the the three week operation
>Russia's air defense is in such a state that using North Korean volunteers in Po-2s as air defense over major industrial targets is a legitimate option
>They probably can't afford to hire Yak-18
>The absolute state of clown world
Fun note: If they had them Ukraine should be using Po-2s as AD, on a dive they can intercept a Shasneed and rigging up a the bomb rack with a external fuel tank for extended loitering should be easy.
You'd have to paint them blue and yellow and rig them with LED lights to avoid friendly fire but that should be easy. You could reskin them with transparent fabric and put lights inside them to outline them for night time IFF over cities.
Russians have holes in their radar because their awacs got blown up. With line of site issues Ukrainians can pour in low in places.
The clowns just started getting out of the car
Just put an autopilot in the biplane and now you have another cruise missile.
The loitering time, rate of climb, and hovering abilities of a Po-2 would be be better used to defend against prop drones instead of using them as a weapon, also it is so primitive a autopilot would cost more than the plane. Not to mention the basic ground tracking radar, LCDs and FLIR the DPRK put in their biplanes cost more than the plane as well. They could easily bounce a Cessna, no one really knows how many they have but they can make them pretty quickly. You'd need at least 3 on call over a target so figure at least 12 per refinery/city/factory, that should be workable. You could even use them to search for sea drones.

>also it is so primitive a autopilot would cost more than the plane.
The most expensive part of this is the motors to drive the controls. Literal ardupilot would suffice.
Powering the stepping motors for a guidance system would be issue, a basic Po-2 has no electrical generation ability. It doesn't have a battery it uses a magneto to spark the engine.
put a small Honda generator in the wienerpit area.
bingo, bango.
prop-driven missiles have their place in warfare, but they have to be cheap-ish and small-ish.
By far the most formidable and consequential way to deliver mid size nuclear warhead since ICBM invention. Tried to start a new thread on new possibilities for global nuclear showtime caused by its abilities, but deleted it all accidentally. Frick it.
Also, Alabuga is hiring.
Forget Boris Johnsons, NATO/Ukrainian Bio-labs are cloning Matthias Rust now.
>The Po-2 is also the only biplane credited with a documented jet-kill, as one Lockheed F-94 Starfire was lost while slowing down to 161 km/h (100 mph) – below its stall speed – during an intercept in order to engage the low flying Po-2.
Po-2 chads...I kneel

What kind of payload did they use here? TZD.
When will the next smack right between the buns happen?
May 9th I hope
It's here just now.

I swear, I am away for just a few hours, only to come back to another burning wreck, to use the now famous quote, what air defense doing?
Humiliation ritual.
>Add oil
Poojeet, I have bad news.
Make a thread for it when there's less Ukraine threads on the catalog.
The browns just arrived to /uhg/, expect them here in a few min.
>add oil
What was meant by this?
No, really, what the frick does it mean
Poojeet is requesting payment for his shilling services. Unfortunately, oil is no longer a commodity Meester Putin Sar can spare.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Add_oil
why aren't they dropping 2000lb/1000lb/500lb bombs from things like this?
some will get shot down... a lot won't. could just carpet bomb mobik positions.
More efficient to use them on facilities inside Russia. They can already kill shitloads of mobiks, and the front is where most of Russia's AD is.
Payload. Those ultralights only have a few hundred pounds to spare. Which is more than most missiles, but a shitload less than a "real" plane. The earliest bombers had similar performance envelopes (albeit vastly shittier engines) and were limited to a handful of 25lb bombs. Even with modern explosives and fuzing technology, an external 500lb bomb would be completely impractical. It adds drag, requires the airframe to be reinforced, needs a release mechanism and some level of ballistics computer, increases the complexity of the autopilot, and halves the range because it needs enough fuel to get back. You're looking at heavy modifications to the plane (which defeats the point of a system like this).
Compare that to just sitting a hundred pounds of guidance and control gear and 400lb of high explosives in the existing plane, slapping it very politely on the ass and sending if off to go give a refinery a hug.
This is the future of modern warfare, isn't it? Once all the expensive hi-tech goodies are used up in the opening months of war and the ground fight locks into a stalemate due to 24/7 surveillance preventing any sort of useful build up of force, it just becomes one painful, bizarre and prolonged episode of non-nuclear MAD as each side throw low-tech propeller-driven cruise missiles at critical infrastructure until civilization collapses.
The technological developments in this war are going to cast their shadow over the rest of this century. It's going to be interesting to see how this effects things.
Just blow up the stupid dam if you're worried about Pooh, America. You know what I'm referring to.
Planespotting is going to become a hell of a lot more important now, no body in this thread probably needs this but here
?si=7HbIkmEkxZdGnNE5
Am i the only person who thinks that it is hilarious that air war has gone full circle so far that the one nation best suited to deal with the latest, most modern paradigm is North Korea? They would be blasting things like this and sneeds out of the sky left and right.

maybe stop posting like a fricking moron
why arent we just putting these remote controlled modules into old MiG-21 and hurling them at 2000kmh with all the explosives they can carry?
