Probably for their 'domestic market' to say: see, it's the Americans, they hate us, and the whole world hates us, and now they gave UKR the missiles to destroy our cities! It's russofobia! It's bad NATO! It's bad collective West!! Not a peep about the UKR cities they have carpeted, of course. Also, ...

Oh, Skabeyeva... ^! (the last link). She never ceases to ... dunno even, what word it should be. This time she's irate - can you imagine, the UKR has the capability to strike ruz territory!! Unheard of!!! It had to be them (=ruz) bombing quietly and gently... only mil targets... for the good of the ...

Not the brightest hours for putin - (defence minister) shoigu's deputy ivanov was commanded to court, which might mean several things, and probably indicates unrest in some circles. Either putin thinks someone's after him or someone actually is, but even if no-one is, the implication might give idea...

As for the 'contents' of the US aid, the ATACMS of longer range are supposed to be the most necessary to prevent ruz glide bomb attacks (around 100 dropped per day, sometimes more - and you can imagine what it means if dropped on a smaller area - the troops just sit in their 'bunkers' and are unable...

An interesting one generally, too, and this post on US aid specifically: Matter of fact is: the stuff is not in Ukraine. Period. It might, but it also might not get to Ukraine – in days, weeks or months. Nobody really knows. Must admit, I’m getting seriously tired of all the celebrations about the U...

Why would such an accident happen? Don't they/ doesn't anybody see another helicopter close around? Do they have some determined flight ... dunno, paths or something that they have to fly, threfore don't notice if someone has diverted or has problems?

The rehearsal for a naval parade, Malaysia.

Harkiv TV tower damaged. Signal being restored, Zelenskiy says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEh9RSlCflM And a big poultry farm was hit. ruz reports destroying mil facilities. UK will announce new aid. Speculations on how long the US aid will last - forgetting ruz isn't what it was a year ago, ac...

if life gives you lemons... ?

The vintage ship in Sevastopol (see Fox's post on Sevastopol harbout a bit 'up here') was the oldest operable in the world, it's claimed, the Kommuna . Suggestions are the UKR were testing some new version of their Neptune, which was shot down and the debri hurt the poor old lass (ships are female, ...

Forbes gave an analysis of the changing tactics: Russia And Ukraine Are Adapting For The Next Phase Of The War Ukraine, similar to Russia, has been loosely following Soviet doctrine, which relies heavily on artillery. In this doctrine, the infantry and armor elements are intended primarily to protec...

You're right about human tribes, but there are some inhuman leaders to them. As it's been said before - if you want to be an imperator, you've got to have an 'imperium' - and the empire has to widen and successfully get new territories. Which is valuable as such. Far, far from the hot frontlines, Ch...

Extra good animation (for a layman as well).
And the "the calm and collected Swiss pilot", super.

Afternoon all, nice warm day here. Just got back from the Leonberger Nationals in New Mexico.

Wow. That must be something!

How do you learn to do that ? I wondered, too (it's hard to even count how many times they turn!) - and it appears there are tutorials in YouTube. Seriously. It's claimed that when you start at an early age, the wossat-apparatus inside your head gets used to it and one won't feel dizzy any more. Af...

:) There's much wailing in the ruz (mil) social media - Americans have betrayed them. No comment needed, I guess. On the other hand, ruz has to use these days to bomb as much as they can before the aid actually arrives. Most activity towards Tsassiv Yar and around Avdiivka and Bakhmut. No remarkable...

Become Jewish - they don't work Saturdays :D ^! Well, that's just the moment for that...! Btw, you're in good company thinking that ruz has lost the war anyway. Why Vladimir Putin has already lost this war. Yuval Noah Harari Notice the date - Feb. 28, 2022! and another facility, not a big one thoug...

Yes, see rest of that post.

a, ok, sry, I must be a bit thick after a long day working .

They claim the bomber crashed on return to base, presumably from damage sustained in the hit. https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/112296645353358833 Could it have been a modified S-200? per some claims. Actually, the main ruz advantage is their glide bombs and strikes on cities. Again, bombs. If that...
