What was it armed with, a fire cracker? That was honestly embarrassing!
I know Russia is actually maintaining like a 100/1 kill ratio. But holy fucking shit are they losing the propaganda war! Like LOSING!!!! There’s so much propaganda opportunities it’s ridiculous, it doesn’t even have to be gore. Russia could put out a 1hr documentary every other day just on the billion USD worth of weapons they destroy every day.
Thats not how propaganda works. For a start, reality isnt propaganda, its just reality. Second, propaganda requires someone to propagate it. Western MSM propagates pro ukraine propaganda, and is never going to show us pro russia stuff. Russian news presumably shows Russians reality, which would make their news, not propaganda. THAT BEING SAID i have no idea what russian news is showing russians, and intentionally exaggerating their position to inflate the reality would still be regarded as propaganda.
Either way, Ukraine is not winning shit, and the only way to make westerners believe theyre winning, is to constantly spam us with absolutely fake news, which is by definition, propaganda.
Russia VS Ukraine is the equivalent of the USMC taking on some shittily trained local redneck militia. They arent real soldiers, they arent able to freely recruit, and in the Ukraines case, they literally have to press gang people into joining, press ganging is what Navies used to do in the age of sail, recruitment by kidnap and ransom. Weve seen those videos of vans driving around and ripping people off the street.
A real fucking military whos winning a war doesnt need to draft 50 year olds.

I haven't been looking at western media, but Russia otherwise seems to be doing okay. Their op is pretty well documented by various sources from the front lines.
It's just a little drone, but it did appear to damage the M777.
That has always been my take on russia (I don't know if it is propaganda or not). It appears they don't want to cause mass casualties or damage infrastructure. Doing either would end this (likely theater war) quickly, but would make them disliked in an occupation, so they would have to Dresden it.

Explosions that look impressive usually aren't. When you see rockets etc making big explosions, the firey part you see is just unburnt fuel.
A detonation damages by shockwave
