Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

the problem with less foliage is that Russians also can exploit it
another problem with m-109 is its shorter range that put it in the range of drones like lancet .
, i think if USA want to send artillery , they must send more artillery rockets and their launcher , that have longer range
Sure the Russians can exploit it, but the problem is the HIMARS with long range can destroy any spotted Russian artillery. And M109s are still useful for long range artillery with Excalibur and constantly shoot and scoot.

@jhungary

Whats the status of M198 or any other artillery units that can be provided? Also by any chance they can combine the Smart Shooter tech with lets say a .50 cal weapon (with more reach) on tripods or trucks with auto tracking capability being placed around critical structures against Shahed drones?

The 300k mobi figure came from Shoigu. That’s obviously a fake. Putin signed the mobi decree with the real number classified as top secret.
Realistic is 500,000. However Russia reserves are many millions. So the total mobi can be something between 500,000 and 5 million.
They can't even equipped the mobilize whether its 300k or 500k.

i wonder how good shoot and scoot strategy will be in open field on snow covered ground.

my concerns is not russian artillery , they are not that percise over 30km , but what about their drones like lancet

Not concerned about that. HIMARS against a Russian artillery battery and this was with foliage coverage. Imagine having none when drones with HIMARS in real time during winter.

Watch: Kyiv locals seen queuing for water
By Hugo Bachega in Kyiv & James FitzGerald
BBC News

People in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, had to queue for water after Russian missiles struck key facilities across the country on Monday.
An evening update from the city's mayor, Vitaliy Klitschko, said 40% of consumers in Kyiv remained without water and 270,000 homes had no power.
Thirteen people were injured in the attacks nationwide, Ukraine said.
Russia said the strikes were aimed at Ukraine's military control and energy systems and that all targets were hit.
They were partly in response to an attack on a Russian warship over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday.

In its evening update, the Ukrainian military said it had shot down 45 out of 55 missiles that were launched.

For security reasons, the outside world is rarely shown the destruction of Ukraine's critical infrastructure by Russian airstrikes.
Ukrainian officials say this is to avoid sharing information that could be used in future attacks, including locations hit - or potentially missed.
But the consequences of Monday's strikes were everywhere to be seen. Rolling power cuts have been introduced in several regions.






Ukrainians in general have been urged to reduce what is already an "extremely frugal" electricity consumption, in the words of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In Kyiv, street lights were turned off and trolleybuses replaced with conventional buses.
Long queues were seen across the city as residents lined up to collect water from pumps after their own supplies were cut.

As many as 80% of Kyiv's consumers were said to have been left without running water in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.
Later, Mr Zelensky said in his evening address that work was continuing to reconnect households with their services.
Russia did not have the missiles to destroy "the Ukrainian will to live", he added in a defiant message.
In addition to the capital, other areas affected by the strikes included Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzia.
Overall, 18 facilities - most of them energy-generating - were hit by missiles and drones in 10 regions, Ukrainian officials said.
One of the missiles intercepted by Ukraine's air defences landed in a border town in Moldova, causing damage to houses but no casualties, according to authorities in the neighbouring country.

Moldova later said a Russian embassy employee in Chisinau had been told to leave its territory, without specifying who the individual was.

Monday's strikes came after Russia blamed Ukraine for a drone attack on its Black Sea Fleet in the annexed Crimean peninsula over the weekend - a matter on which Kyiv has not commented.
Answering reporters' questions on Monday evening, President Putin confirmed that the strikes were partly intended as a retaliation.
He also said Russia had suspended, but not ended, its participation in a UN-brokered deal which allows safe passage to ships carrying grain from Ukrainian ports, although Ukraine said earlier on Monday that ships were continuing to depart, despite Russia's withdrawal from the deal.
The fresh wave of attacks was the latest example of what has become Russia's strategy in Ukraine: the targeting of the important infrastructure before winter, when temperatures can drop to -20C.
Ukraine says this is Russia's response to its military defeats, as the Ukrainian army takes back territory in a successful counter-offensive.
Ukrainian defence minister Oleksii Reznikov has linked the Russian campaign to Gen Sergei Surovikin, who was appointed by President Putin as his new commander in Ukraine earlier this month.
In a rare news conference last week, the minister said Russian forces had "changed their tactics" after the arrival of Gen Surovikin - whose nickname is Gen Armageddon - and "started openly fighting with the civilian population, not with the armed forces of Ukraine".
The goal, he said, was to inflict "chaos and panic" in the population, "when it's very cold and dark".
President Zelensky has described this tactic as "terrorism". Many Ukrainians say they are not afraid, though many are angry that civilians have again become the target.
Western leaders, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, have recently pointed out that deliberate strikes on key civilian infrastructure would constitute war crimes under treaties that define the "rules" of war, known as the Geneva Conventions. Moscow, however, denies culpability for any war crimes.
"Instead of fighting on the battlefield, Russia fights civilians," Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian foreign minister, said on Monday morning - echoing a view shared by many of his compatriots.
Ukraine says it needs more air defence capabilities to defend its cities. Germany has already sent equipment, while the UK and the US have announced they will do so.

Most customers are not aware of the yield and only buy packaged chips which they expect will meet the specification.
Yield per wafer is a sign of process maturity and most customers do want to know how good are you at the job. But the customers that want to know the most are the fabless semicon companies such as Apple who design their own processors but farm out the manufacturing to TSMC who is a foundry. For a fabless semicon company, the foundry is an extension of its business, but the foundry also works for others, so what we have is called a 'process of record' (POR).


The semiconductor process of the present fabrication facility features an analog CMOS 180nm technology process-of-record (POR) with a conventional aluminum – 0.5% copper interconnect architecture with 240nm interconnect line – space metal layer M1 design rules and five layers of metal interconnects.​


Wafer Acceptance Testing (WAT) also known as Process Control Monitoring (PCM) data is data generated by the Fab at the end of manufacturing and generally made available to the Fabless customer for every wafer.

The POR governs how a wafer start and move to backend and is a LEGAL document. Depending on the agreement, TSMC may not change anything in the POR without Apple's approval. And Apple definitely want that yield per wafer record to know that TSMC is abiding by the agreement.

The yield per wafer is also a marketing tool to show potential clients of how good am I at producing at volume. Note the 'for every wafer' highlighted. TSMC may not be able to show potential clients the details of how much work they do for Apple, but the fact that Apple is their client speaks volumes of their capability.

You claim that those with lower yield will be sold at a lower price than those products with a high yield.
Why would anyone reject the lower priced product over the higher price product when both are sold based on the same specification?

The reality is that the high yield vendor with 100 chips need to charge the wafer processing cost / 100 per chip to break even, and the low yielding vendor with 10 chips per wafer need to charge wafer processing cost / 10 to break even.

They need to charge 10x more due to the low yield.
They can post any price they want, but if it is known that a company is below industry par, very few will buy.


Manufacturers need to meet high benchmarks to compete successfully. According to Bloomberg research, manufacturing yield rates below 90% are a cause of concern.​

The minimum marketable rate is %90. Dies that came from wafers that yielded below %90 will be sold at cost or even loss. Of course, the seller can try to hide that fact and charge a premium price, but if that deception is ever known, that seller will be blackballed for yrs.


Quoting an anonymous source, Kommersant states that before Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine the defect rate in imported silicon was two percent. Since that war commenced, Russian manufacturers have apparently faced 40 percent failure rates.​

This story will have negative impact on Chinese sellers, on China, and finally on Asia. Over the long term, trust in China's semicon business practices WILL erode, and trust in Asia as a stable source location will be reassessed.

Sure , a day after the attack , they just decided to anchor all the battle ships together ,side by side , like ducks in a shooting range.

As reliable as the rest of your reports.

Obviously a fake

Ships have no hull number, no name. they are photoshopped out.

Probably they took old years old photographs, and re-edited. Good old days when Putin was busy selling oil and gas to Europe. No more.

WTF???
DO YOU HAVE ANY UNDERSTANDING INTERNATIONAL LAW???
EVEN ISRAEL DOESNT SAY GOLAN HEIGHT ARE DISPUTED???

WOW
Israel says that they have the right to Golan, because it was part of the British Mandate, which then the British illegally ”swapped” with the French.
It should not have been part of Syria in the first place.
After annexation, Israel of course does not consider it disputed.
Others may disagree.

Oh now we are “hypocrites” for not showing a similar reaction to the “golan heights”.

Context and scale matters, simple as that.
1. Arab nations repeatedly tried to destroy israel and ethnically cleanse its population. Far from clear “victims”.

Ukraine on other hand suffered through the holodomir (millions starved) and now is attacked by its former coloniser..again.

2.1200 square miles of the heights were taken. Russia annexed 100 times that amount. Causing 100 times more displaced civilians.

3. Golan heights annexation happened 60 years ago. The ongoing invasion of ukraine happens in our time.

There…i explained why i am not equally foaming at the mouth over “golan heights”.
Now…please…tell me how the **** you guys can morally justify russia’s agression on ukraine…while shedding big tears over a minute speck of land that was lost 60 years ago?

I know the answer…a disgusting callous disregard of lives that do not belong to your cult/tribe. The morally corrupt preaching about “the west”….

Again no answer. Not suprising.

When discussing morality surrounding russia’s invasion…you only sink to whataboutisms (a fallacy in discussion).

Attacking others as hypocrites/islamophobes while in fact the eu supports a realistic moderate solution

And is one of the largest donors

You attack that…while at the same time cheering how iranian kamikaze drones blow up civilian infrastructure. “No water and heating for those ukranian civilians! ;)

Its crystal clear that some lives mean very little and some mean a lot more for you. Far far worse then the double standards in the west.

Nothing in this is relevant to any company ordering from let’s say Digikey.

Israel should have to right to someone land because colonizer said so.

Now you now why Asians and Africans support Russian war depsite then being affected due to oil and food shortage. Because of people like you.
