Kamikazi Drone Hits Kamikazi Drone Factory 1200 km In Russia

Reefie says...

I've seen some additional reports now with verified details from the BBC and Reuters - and a proper landscape view of the impact - none of that side panel blurring business! Both news outlets confirm what you've said, converted light aircraft, and they also state that Ukraine forces have taken responsibility for the attack. I'm still amused that they rigged it for remote control and left the landing gear down the whole way!

I understand the confusion, but as I understand it this “drone” was a single engine plane (172?) modified for use as a drone. I don’t know what kind of drone hit the refinery at the same time, but since it was in the same town 1200 km from Ukraine it’s likely they used the same civilian aircraft “drone” for that simultaneous attack.
The news about the battlefield drone advancement in the same clip did confuse the details about this extremely long range drone attack deep in Russia.

Kamikazi Drone Hits Kamikazi Drone Factory 1200 km In Russia

While I am supportive of Ukraine's efforts to curb Russia's weapons production, I'm a tad confused by this video.

Initially we see a single-prop 2 person aircraft with landing gear down crash into a building and an explosion ensues.

Later in the video we see a still of a winged drone as the video informs us that Ukraine have been improving their drone fleet, obviously a fraction of the size of the aircraft we see in the crash.

Any possibility that someone has taken footage of a plane crash and spun a yarn from it? Or is there another explanation why the aircraft featured at the start of this video is nothing like the drones Ukraine have been using against Russian ships and other targets?

It was stood on the tarmac looking at the departing plane, thinking to itself "So that's why they tell us to fasten our seatbelts for take-off!"

Really enjoyed watching Fire of Love a few months ago. Will give the Herzog homage to the Kraffts a watch next weekend.

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE | Official Teaser Trailer

Reefie says...

If the best (and only) line featured in the teaser is "The juice is loose" then I fear you may be right... Talking of which, the new Ghostbusters movie released in the UK today, I wonder if I'm going to be disappointed by my cinema outing this weekend? At least they've got most of the original gang back, hopefully trigger some nostalgia highs!

Um…long awaited sequel? Who was actually waiting for this?
There’s potential here, but I fear it’s another memberberry cash grab, washing every last cent possible out of everything that was good from my childhood leaving empty husks that once were fond memories. Fingers crossed I’m wrong.

Not sure what the auto-generated subtitles were meant to provide other than audio descriptions of the thuds of large boulders colliding with vehicles... Not even a Wilhelm scream in there!

Supreme Court Ethics: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

Reefie says...

Commoner? Bit elitist there, huh bud? What happened to the desire to improve humanity and evolve into better versions of ourselves as we age?

Dont think any SCOTUS / POTUS/ Congress member would entertain a dinner trip with @newtboy or other commoner.

I took a break from social media a few years ago. Life's much simpler now!

Videosift needs to integrate with a popular chat platform - or several. Discord, Reddit, something like that. They all have their downsides, but if we want to keep Videosift alive, we've got to plug into the mainstream.

Minor quibble that has nothing to do with the subject of eating hot food - that's not an Irish accent!

Ah, seems Modulous has already pointed out the obvious
