The Shahed-131 has a range of less than a thousand kilometers, while the Shahed-136 has a range of a few thousand kilometers
Russian state TV reacted to the news of Leopard-2 tanks going to Ukraine by making comparisons to Afghanistan, resorting to nuclear threats and claiming that Ukraine was Russia's territory, because history and literature are more important than borders
— Julia Davis 

I don't know but I think it's really horrifyingly unsafe that the biggest bald-faced liars and criminal psychopaths actually DO have access to nuclear weapons.  At some level, I'm glad that they know that it will not end well for them. Yet they continue to play their fucking games.  An entire nation, willing to forgo all international relations and alliances, just for the luxury to act like complete assholes. >

My guess is that the CIA is making deals throughout the Russian power structure to ensure that doesn't happen. Want to live after all of this is over? Let's make a deal. >

If what's left of the Russian empire implodes the west is going to make sure they snag all remaining Soviet era nuclear weapons. >

That would be one less thing to worry about >

Huge material losses >

“Maybe if we let all of our tanks get destroyed nato won’t send tanks” >

Donate directly to the Ukrainian government (for defence, medical aid, rebuilding efforts) via United24
Or look into other ways to help >

Got my recurring $24/ month donations set up for both the wife and me!
Anyone who can afford to should do the same! >

Near Svatova ? Which specific region you are talking about ? >

The alert is across all of Ukraine >

Holyshit, so this round entirely in russia's favour ? >

I don't know what you mean? 
Every oblast has been advised to seek cover and wait until the danger has passed. This has happened dozens of times before. >

Yeah, I mean Ukraine can't do something about for now? 
The only option is to seek cover and wait ? >

The Ukrainian air defenses will be trying to intercept them, if that's what you mean.
But Russian forces launch missiles with low accuracy into dense urban environments so yeah pretty much the only thing the majority of civilians can do is try and find somewhere safe and hope the missiles are either intercepted or on target for once. >

Russian tank tossing should be in the next summer Olympics >

Why does it feel that ukraine is playing a role playing game and only gets new equipment after it sufficiently levels up and completes assigned quests? >

That's basically experience in the making. The more they fight, the more battle-hardened troops they receive. 
Also after that quagmire in Afghanistan, the West is pretty reluctant to invest military hardware other than light arms and munitions until Ukraine proved they're grit and dedication to fight back with the right equipment supplied to them. >

This is real life not a contrived level up system.
Spending months on infantry offensives does not suddenly allow you to take a level in "combined armed warfare." >

No, but 60k UA troops training at NATO training centers does. >

What's the difference between the Shahed-131 and Shahed-136?
