    In all honesty, what do you expect? They *are* in war, with basically no source of income, and many good men servicing... When the fog clears up, they will be fine.

    I can only hope. It reminds me Soviet union when all capable men were at the front and the ones deep in the mailand who managed to dodge mobilisation were complete scum.

    7N24 as mentioned by Werewolf was tested more than 15 years ago. In fricking fields and labs. Then again it seen blood in Caucasus for sure.

    Assault Rifles Bullets is the least of things to be worried in a war..that is only for very close combat.. and bullet proof vest does not protect well against grenades.. ie no protection for face. a soldier that lose their 2 legs in combat is more useful for the enemy than someone death. since the wounded soldier will require 2 or 3 to help him get a medic..also will significantly damage the moral of the group. For me artillery is the king.. in cases air force support is not possible.. Well used artillery with right precision in combination of armored vehicles or rocket grenades can win wars alone. Assault rifles is mostly for building to building fight. Something not really necessary at all.. since you can isolate the place and starve people there to death if not surrender.

    For me the future however of modern army combat will be rail guns..
    Imagine  railguns that any soldier can carry like if was a machine gun.carry tiny plastic bullets ,that weight less and have a range of 5km, and the speed of the plastic bullet is so incredibly fast that penetrate even light armored vehicles. Lazer guns however could be a reality too.. but that will be very boring.. a very silent war..people only get killed by being melted alive.

    A main battle tank with Rail gun as cannon.. sounds even more interesting. Imagine a tank that can take another ass far as 20km to 30km away with a small projectile that travel so fast that needs no explosives to destroy the enemy tank ,just cut in half any tank including people inside.

    im concerned to, but i see nationalists with proper dedication who push trough hard laws and discipline, were they are nearly no serious rime is going on, even no drunks anywere, they just started to collect all drunks and put them to go dig tranches, since then no one is drinking at the street anylonger, even the one who dodge to fight for ther land keep quite and friendly.
    i specialy now when ther is only "low level" fighting people in power ther will more focus on such issues

    Why are you concerned? The only thing to be worried about is the fighting itself, not the population... They will recover, and if they eventually become independent, Russia will help them economically... 
    If they don't become independent, than Kiev will "help" them economically, so nothing can really go *that* wrong. As for "drunks" and that kind of thing, society will have to work itself out there.

    As unbelievable as it seems, the Western propaganda-powerhouse Reuters has posted a good article (decent at the very least) on the Maidan shootings.

    It is said that the Novorossiya insurgents have just captured one of Kyiv's Msta-S

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASKJlzLklmU

    http://danviet.vn/quan-su/phao-tu-hanh-hang-khung-ukraine-lot-vao-tay-quan-noi-day-490389.html (in Vietnamese)

    Trên tháp pháo tự hành có sọc dọc màu trắng đặc trưng. Theo Rusvesna đây là điểm nhận dạng để quân đội Ukraine có thể phân biệt bạn và thù trong khi tham chiến.

    (The SPG has its tyical white strips. According to Rusvesna, this is the typical signs of the Ukrainian forces).

    The information still needs deeper verification, but it seems like the Kyiv forces have a tendency of losing heavy weapons into the hands of Novorossiya insurgents.

    Well, at least Reuters is not similar to things like BBC aka BomB Company, or Radio Not Free From The West.

    And the Kyiv goverment is so corrputed that even the West do not really eager to help it.

    That is the thing though... Reuters has always been a Russophobic propaganda source, and this article is one of very few that isn't subject to that. Interestingly enough, one of that articles writers is from Kyivpost! Maybe they are getting feed up with posting all the crap! lol1

    Huh? The West can't get enough of corrupted governments!

    I though that the most notorious loudspeakers of the Western oligarchs are Fox News, British BomB Company aka BBC and the series of Radio Not Free of Something. Question

    My guess is that the situation in Kyiv is so shit that the West cannot cover anymore.

    Do RPO-As and ATGMs fit?

    However, they are a bit expensive.
    With all voentorg nonsense goin' on, it would make a lot of sense for novorussia to develop it's own arms industry.

    The removal of the trees is a dead giveaway about a coverup. Trees don't die from such damage and the bark would have eventually
    closed around the holes. It's not like the trees were riddled with machine gun fire.

    The removal of the ATC tapes from the Borisopol airport after the MH17 shoot down was also a case of the regime covering its
    tracks.

    Lets not forget that German victims of the plane crash are suing Kiev for criminal negligence, obviously their defense teams believe that their at fault for something.

    Taken from other forum.
    Tell me what You think guys?


    Monarchist wrote:The blogger and friend of Strelkov talks about what is really happening in Donbass and Novorussia.
    Some short summary most important things. The brigade from Slavyansk that was under Strelkov amount to around 4-5 thousand soldiers, and basically all the heavy equipment has been taken from them, only basically left with only ak's etc. All the equipment goes through Oplot brigade and Zaharcenko, Kononov is bascailly irrelevant.
    The operation of liberating the airport is basically for no reason because some of the most eperienced fighters have died for nothing.
    Zaharcenko basically holds all the cigarette and alchohol smuggling and trading in Donbass, everything goes through him and he gives nothing to regular rebel soldiers that forces some of them to become criminals to feed their families and themself.
    The so called humanitirian aid goes basically to Plotnitskij and Zaharcenko personally nothing goes to private people or organizations. What is currently happening is basically discrediting the whole "Russian idea"(Russkie mir), that nobody in the future comes up with the idea about peoples republics and that they under no circumstances ar anti-oligarch.
    After Strelkov resigned some of his men were arrested under false accusations and facricated crimes, some of them even called "Vlasov-tsi", supporters of Vlasov.
    Basically that the dark picture and truth.
