  1. 'It's Suicide': Russian Federation Has Dramatic Changes On The Frontline

    Ukraine is striking targets that a year ago were considered out of reach.

    Russian troops have started moving warehouses with FPV drones and ammunition further away from the front line due to Ukrainian drone strikes. Guerrillas have recorded one of such warehouses near Mariupol.

  3. Plastic pollution in shooting ranges and warfare areas - an overlooked environmental issue

    "Shooting ranges and military training fields, including warfare-impacted areas, have been widely recognized as environmentally impacted zones by inorganic and organic contamination, such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or explosive-related compounds. However, the possible contamination by plastics and #microplastics in soil has been widely overlooked despite potential plastic sources, such as #ShotgunCartridges, plastic wads or landmines. Due to how these activities occur, plastics have remained in the field for decades or centuries, favoring their conversion from macro to microplastics, polluting the soil and water resources. Moreover, shooting and recreational activities such as #airsoft or #paintball practices could also be a substantial source of plastics to ecosystems; once shot, pellets can have conventional or biodegradable plastics in their composition, and there left in the environment, favouring impacts on soil properties. Although some initiatives have emerged to avoid the use of single-use plastics in shotgun #ammunition, alternative materials (#biodegradable plastics) can also be a potential risk, favouring the heavy metal bioavailability of shot pellets. These emerging pollutants should also be considered in these areas to understand if they could be a potential source of micro- and nanoplastics to the environment and, therefore, an environmental concern that requires changes at industrial and regulatory levels."

    Louder the #ammunition,
    lousier the education.

    More titanic the #tanks,
    more pathetic the primates.
    World in trance of #arms,
    is a planet of the apes.

  10. Экспорт одних лишь беспилотников на Украину приносит Португалии больше прибыли, чем вся торговля с РФ

    С начала вторжения РФ на Украину Португалия значительно увеличила продажи беспилотников. Настолько, что экспорт беспилотных систем только в Киев превышает общий объем португальских продаж в Россию.
    По данным издания Jornal Económico, в 2022 году, когда начался конфликт, доходы составили 4 млн евро, затем выросли до 23 млн в 2023 году и до 33 млн в 2024 году. Тенденция к росту была очевидной, и в 2025 году рост был экспоненциальным, а прибыль достигла 87,3 млн евро. Крупнейшим национальным экспортёром беспилотников на Украину является компания Tekever из Калдаш-да-Раинья.
    Беспилотные системы сыграли решающую роль в укреплении торговых отношений между Лиссабоном и Киевом.
    В таблице национального экспорта Украина поднялась с 75-го места в 2019 году на 36-е в 2025 году. И наоборот, Россия сейчас находится на 50-м месте в списке стран, которые делают больше всего закупок в Португалии, по сравнению с 34-м местом семь лет назад. Среди 100 крупнейших торговых партнеров страны только Куба (-20 позиций), и Сирия (-19), опустились ниже, чем Москва (-16).
    В довоенный период португальский экспорт на Украину с 2000-х годов был в 5-10 раз ниже, чем в Россию. В 2023 и 2024 годах он показатель оказался выше на 90%, а к 2025 году - возрос вдвое.
    С учётом общего объёма закупок украинских компаний в Португалии скачок составил 110%. В португальском топ-100 национального экспорта Украина - одна из немногих стран, демонстрирующих двух- и трёхзначный рост.
    Эта тенденция роста может быть подкреплена соглашением между Португалией и Украиной, подписанным в декабре прошлого года, о совместном производстве морских беспилотников.

  33. CW: Firearms, ammunition, somber thoughts

    While doing som cleaning and reorganization, we stopped to check on ammunition to decide if we needed to place an order. We ended up discussing self-defense rounds since we only had a couple of boxes. It then occurred to me that if we were to be in a situation where we needed to have more than a couple of boxes then it would likely be acceptable for us to just use FMJ, which we use for the range, because it would mean all hell had broken loose.
