Western defense analysts estimate the cost of a single Buk-M3 system at approximately $45 million, factoring in the launcher, radar, command vehicle, and missiles.
And this doesn’t even touch on the amount of time to build & deploy a replacement. If Russia is even able to do so at this point.
Ukraine has demonstrated that they know how to use different drone tactics to circumvent various types of defenses. There have been plenty of videos showing successful drone attacks getting past nets, flying into bunkers, dealing with tank modifications, etc.

It’s a safe bet the tanker is empty. It’s riding so high in the water that its rudder is partially exposed.
I worked on a memory manager back in the days of DOS & extended memory overlays. The original author liked to refer to blocks of memory as “cookies” and temporary variables as “handy”, among other things. My favorites however were a flag identifying memory corruption as “shit_cookie_corrupt” and a panic function when it couldn’t recover that was called ohShitOhShitOhShit().
Five Russian oil refineries set ablaze, four airfield strikes, a Lukoil offshore rig ablaze in the Caspian Sea – all in one night – noisily contradicted Trump’s claim that “Ukraine has no cards.”
Love that summary!
I’m so happy to see Ukraine expanding their attacks to include Russia’s shadow fleet and now offshore oil rigs. Repairing this is likely to be significantly more difficult than land based refineries.
Anybody know how many offshore oil rigs Russia has?
Maybe. Let’s see if they follow through.
I feel like the employees at many theaters these days just don’t care if you bring in your own food.
My wife and I also occasionally see imax movies at a theater that’s part of a furniture store. The store also has an ice cream shop & burger restaurant. That theater is more than happy to let you bring in food from those places.
The Defense Ministry earlier said the flight took place after repair work.
If this is the state of their aircraft maintenance then expect to start seeing more even more crashes in the coming weeks.
They are Russian shelters. I have no such concerns.
Clearly some techbro wants to monetize buzzwords plus laptop.
In the original.
They still haven’t proven the boat had drugs, or have they?
I’m guessing Ukraine is being a lot more careful with their fighters, and this sort of thing is heavily tilted towards Russia.
Russia needs their jets to keep up the attack against Ukraine, and Russia has repeatedly demonstrated that they have difficulty protecting them on the ground. Just look at Operation Spiderweb last June, for example. Ukraine simultaneously attacked aircraft parked at 5 different Russian airfields. Depending on who you ask, as many as 40 aircraft were hit, with up to 13 completely destroyed.
Attacks like that one force Russia to spread out their antiaircraft radar & weapons more and more. Combine that with Ukraine successfully damaging/destroying radar systems like the one in this video and it creates gaps in Russian air defenses that makes it easier & easier for Ukraine to identify & destroy even more targets.
Do younger audiences even get the instant video gag?
It’s low enough orbit that a space shuttle mission went to repair it shortly after it was launched.
IT professional for 20 years. C/C++ developer for 10 years prior to that.
My first job out of college was mostly luck. I took a job doing tech support but after a couple of years was able to transition into development work.
Virtually every job since that first one has been thanks to connections I made among coworkers. I got my current job because I knew two employees here. One of them was a co-founder of the company, and somebody I’ve known since the 1990’s and worked with at 3 other companies prior to this.
