Russia is undermining Ukraine’s air defense system – but it has huge problems of its own
#Russia #undermining #Ukraines #air #defense #system #huge #problems
Experts say that Russia’s air defense network has been strained by the fight against Ukraine and has not been able to adequately adapt to the threat posed by long-range drones and small aircraft.

Philips Screeneo UL5 : Le projecteur DLP 1080p compact triple laser
It’s been almost two years since I presented to you the review of the Screeneo U4, a compact ultra-short throw DLP projector that could be described as a travel model due to its small footprint. At the time, Philips chose to equip this DLP projector with an LED light source with a brightness of 400 ANSI lumens and a contrast that I measured myself at 370:1.
The brand will offer us at least from June 2024, via a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, a version improved on several criteria of this UST.
