The Russians have gone in

[oldbrownhat]

Uncle Ed, would not surprise me to learn that they use Amazon to get their drones...

I wonder... does Amazon do "drone dellivery by drone" over there?

Re Coke or Pepsi, beats me. Whatever they've been drinking prior to bomb assembly?

Under these circumstances, probably Red Bull!

That is a great link. Among many items of interest, love the video of Ukrainians using commercial drones to drop homemade bombs made from soda cans on the Russian enemy.

Onomea,

Do the Ukrainians get their commercial
drones through Amazon's two-day service
and are they using Coca-Cola or Pepsi
cans?

They're probably dropping cans of Mountain Dew on Russian armor in order to dissolve it.

A good short piece by French state TV, showing the day-to-day experience of Ukrainians on the Donbass front lines.

Uh-oh; now the Swiss are in trouble with the Kremlin for allowing this in the newspaper! Russia Threatens Legal Action Over Newspaper Image of Putin As Clown

If he's that sensitive, I hope he sees this parade float of him choking on Ukraine.

Uh, yeah. I can remember just a few years ago a very high ranking US govt elected official warning you about Russia using their gas as a weapon.

You laughed.


Live updates: Latest news on Russia and the war in Ukraine


“Russia is blackmailing us. Russia is using energy as a weapon. And therefore in any event, whether a partial major cut-off of Russian gas or a total cut-off of Russian gas, Europe needs to be ready,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at a press conference Wednesday

Like that song from the '60s. "Send In The Clowns."

Putin has more troubles, the Chechens are sounding like they may open a second front on Russia. Not only do they have troops already in Ukraine fighting but may re start their war with Russian. Time will tell.

 

[biku324]

Chechens would like nothing more than some payback.

It appears that this is video of yesterday's Ukraine missile shoot-down of a Russian Su-35.

Gravity, still in effect. Sucks to be Ivan.

It does indeed suck to be Ivan. Tough excrement.

Just read the the head of CIA and MI-6 say Putin is in good health? Just a month ago there were “ stories” that he was or may be ill. Typical of the media.

That's right, typical of the media
AKA the MSM. That's why nothing
should be believed in any postings
in this thread.

In fact, the standard of not believing
should apply in all postings throughout
the forum where the media is involved.

 

[biku324]

Don't discount deliberate disinformation by Russia and friends. It's what they do.

 

[Greyman50]

Site is strictly military related, no “ typical media” reports. Really do not trust any alphabet agency these days. Just goes to show the media continues to make fools out of themselves.

Was sitting in a bar last night with four Russians and they spoke truthfully.
You'll get drunk and need a ride home if you drink with us.
They were Black Russians.

You seem to have some faith in
a "strictly military related" site.

That's nice.

I excerpted this from an interview with Ihor Skybiuk, Commander of the 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade.

What is my dream? I want our victory to be maximum, complete, and the way to it to not take us long. I want us to find all guys who went missing – I am continuously thinking about that.

I want to see Ukraine cheerful. And Ukrainians – free and happy.

And also… When the war is over, I want to forget about it immediately. Absolutely. War is pain, human grief, destroyed fates, death of comrades. Every day I check the brigade reports. Every day there are losses. You realize that you have known someone, that someone’s destiny, dreams have got interrupted, that families have left without father, son. It should not have been like that… In the developed, modern world, such a terrible war…

But, despite everything, I have never felt empty or weak. Perhaps, it is anger and hatred for the enemy that helps. We have no right to be weak after what Russians are doing to our country, our people. We must defeat the enemy, as we carry responsibility for peace in Ukraine on our shoulders. This is what gives strength.

It's war. That's pretty much what everyone does.
A week has passed, and the battle lines appear stagnant.
That's about the closest thing to a truth as I can find.

It's one thing they do REALLY well. Not to mention Vodka and Caviar.
