Pretty crappy drones if they just fly in and hit indiscriminately?

I thought drones were supposed to be precision-guided right to the point of impact.

Not picking sides because the propaganda machine is in full cycle from both sides but these photos just look like a house fire with a partial collapse, which can happen.

The Russian army would do well to remember Afghanistan and the actions of the Taliban after the Red army carpet bombed civilians.

UA might think twice before accepting prisoners. Of course, the Russian high command could give a rat's ass about it's soldiers' lives or it wouldn't have sent them to their deaths untrained and poorly equipped, but this will make the UA more likely to exact a measure of revenge on things within their grasp.

At the present time, that would be Russian soldiers on their territory.

Donetsk is in Ukraine and the separatist war was started by the Russian separatists. Just like in Putin's wars in Chechnya and Georgia. Opposed to their separatists movements.

A non-residential building is a building where people do not reside. It means there's a building (a type of structure, usually with a roof on it), but nobody lives there. Hope this helps!

What is a "non-residential" building?

Is that term being used for military installation?

Kamikaze drone strikes with Iranian supplied drones.

“If we can’t have it then we’ll smash it up!”

Just as reports from Kherson reach the outside world of looting of banks and state institutions as the Russians prepare to pull out.

You can read Moscow news or other non western sources. A lot of the Russian news is propaganda with Putin claiming he his defending the country against western Nazis invasion.

Why is it that the ones Russia uses are "suicide drones" but the ones Ukraine uses are "attack drones". They're exactly the same type of drone.

Actually they're not.

The ruzzian suicide drones are disposable; after striking their target, they are destroyed.

The Ukrainians are also using some suicide drones, but mostly Bayraktar TB2 drones the can drop their payload and return home to fight again another day.

They alter words to sway and alter perceptions.

You mean like calling an invasion a special military operation?

Or like retreating from an untenable position and calling it an act of good will?

Like calling a Jewish president who lost family in the Holocaust, a nazi?

Like calling an attack on a legitimate military target an act of terrorism?

Sorry - I can took info from both side.

So my government just can't hide anything

It's a very big difference.

Putin introduced a law with 15 years in prison for anyone calling it a war or revealing other details. The free press and media is gagged. There is no freedom of press. Opposition jailed, killed or fled the country.

Your main problem guys - 100% info from one side

0% from other

the main problem of the 0% is their printing of blatant false information. Information that has been disproven countless times, but is still repeatedly brought up.

most of the 0% are either paid trolls, or anti-west people with a chip on their shoulder.

What is a "non-residential" building?

That would be a building not being used to live in.

Is that term being used for military installation?

It could be a bread shop, a warehouse, a car sales center, fast food enterprise or any of a million things used by citizens but not residential. If you cant work that out for yourself then it is no wonder the Russians cant target military targets either.

A military building is generally labelled as military. Barracks, command post, military warehouse, officers mess, enlisted mans mess etcetera.

most of the 0% are either paid trolls, or anti-west people with a chip on their shoulder.

or just people that disagree with the narrative they are being presented by a compliant, cheerleader type media.

or just people who dont see/think about things the way you do.

or, or.

there are many other options of who these people are besides only the 2 negative options you presented.

Russians cannot fight the UA so they blow up Civilians as a substitute.

Admittedly, as they cannot get their artilary in range and their Air Farce has ceased to exist as a cohesive force, Grozny and Aleppo it's not, but it's the best their loser army can do against an actual fighting force.

It's going to have the opposite of the intended effect. The instigators (as well as the drone operators) had better hope they never depend on the mercy of the UA because they won't be receiving any.

No Russian leader will spend an second in custody for their crimes,
