CBD please man don't you have a greater resolution picture of that T64BV? Because from where I stand it looks like the 64 is sporting Polish ERA from Bumar Labedi.

There might be a better one out there somewhere. If I come across one I'll post it.

This photo came from this twitter.

I just read it and I highly recommend everyone following the situation to read this.

As I asked Auslander if he was writing, I think it is fair to ask if you will be publishing anything? If you wrote a comprehensive history book about this war I would pay money for it. +1 for you Ruthenius.

Likewise! Outstanding!

MOSCOW, August 11. /TASS/. Kiev is boosting forces and military equipment near the contact line in the Mariupol direction, in southern Ukraine, defense ministry spokesman of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Eduard Basurin said on Tuesday.

"Up to 1,000 Ukraine’s Armed Forces personnel have been massed in the Mariupol direction in the village of Andreyevka and Granitnoye. A tank battalion was spotted near the Zamozhnoye settlement," Basurin said.

A Marine brigade estimated at up to 2,000 people was seen near the villages of Lebedinskoye, Shirokino and Kominternovo.

The positions of Ukraine’s self-propelled artillery weapons have been discovered in four villages near the contact line, he added.

I don't know how it's like where you are from guys and gals, but where I'm from third wave of mobilisation is the last one, as in teenagers and pensioners. Basically end of the world scenario.

Sixth wave over here would be forest critters.

Seventh wave, we are talking about mythical creatures like leprechauns and unicorns...  

So, what to make of this   :

"Depending on the development of the situation, there may be a seventh, an eighth and a ninth [round]," Mekhed told reporters, answering a question on whether more rounds of mobilization could be held.

If they are expending resources fighting each other, that takes a little pressure off Donbass.

That's either from July (Strelkov retreat from Slavyansk) or a parallel universe. Ergo that's an old Strelkov captured BMP-2 that allowed the bulk of the troops to leave Slavyansk.

VP to the crew.

Yeah funny how no one picked up the source of the article and the fact a similar BS was wroten by UA outlets some times ago. TheMess lives up to expectations. Small core of knowledgeable people, huge cohort of jerkoffs. Just follow the beating Beardless infidel is giving the "Iran Dun'it" crew on the Yemeni War thread. That man is out of his mind fronting the Big Iz crew, some truths will cause suspension points. Nevertheless props to Beardless even though I'm not on his side over Syria.

The precise location of this video from last August at Novoannovka http://www.lostarmour.info/armour/item.php?id=0946 It's worth zooming out to see how many ukrops vehicles are marked and how few VSN in that area.

Wait, wait, what, I though Kyiv once claimed that they don't need Russian gas

They're all lizards, and this is proof of that.

Did you even take basic biology? Reptiles don't fair well in cold climates. Haha

... Jesus we can't even joke here anymore. They didn't seem to fare than well when it got hotter earlier this year...

It was an attempt at a joke.... Anywho I guess we can file the ones in charge at Kiev as an "endangered species." God bless the West for trying to preserve this rare breed.

Easy now, you don't attempt a joke when a man's already in the middle of an attempt. Joke-blocks are serious bi'niss, it's stuff like that, that gets people stuck at the toilet for hours. Butthurt and sad. ;-)/

Haha, fair enough.

Lostarmour strikes again. Indeed year old video.

If it is not possible to make a causal connection why release the info?

MOSCOW, August 11 (Sputnik) — The investigative team on last year's Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash in eastern Ukraine investigates several parts possibly originating from the Buk missile system, the Dutch Public Prosecution Service said in a statement Tuesday. "In cooperation with the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) investigates several parts, possibly originating from a Buk surface-air-missile system. These parts have been secured during a previous recovery-mission in Eastern-Ukraine and are in possession of the criminal investigation team MH17 and the DSB," the statement reads.

The parts are of "particular interest" to the investigators as they could shed light on who was involved in the downing of the Boeing 777 aircraft. "For that reason the JIT further investigates the origin of these parts."

However, a conclusion that there is a causal connection between the discovered parts and the crash can currently not be drawn, according to the statement.

The railway network is slowly increasing its coverage. No doubt the Ukies will shell the bits of line that other parts of the Government want to use to bring in coal.

The Transport Ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic has prepared the local railway network for a link-up with Russia's railway network, and negotiations are now underway on the resumption of rail traffic across the Russian border, DPR First Deputy Transport Minister Vladimir Kabatsy told the Donetsk News Agency on Tuesday.

"We are now technically prepared to carry out rail service with the Russian Federation. Our railway workers have completed their task," Kabatsy told the news agency, adding that "now the process of negotiations is underway" with the Russian side. The minister emphasized that DPR authorities very much look forward to a positive outcome in the negotiations.

Over the weekend, the press service of the DPR's Transport Ministry reported that a rail link with Ukraine restored only days earlier had been cut following the Ukrainian military's shelling of a section of track on the Yasynuvata-Skotovataya route, resulting in damage to the track itself and leaving a section of the route without power. Work on repairing the damage has been hampered by its proximity to the line of contact.

Prior to the onset of the Ukrainian civil war in April 2014, Donetsk Railways served as one of the largest railway divisions in the country. Late last month, railroad workers resumed running commuter trains on a test basis from the city of Yasynuvata north of the capital of Donetsk to the village of Kvashino in the region's southeast, near the Russian border. Earlier this month, the Ukrainian-DPR Contact Group's sub-group on economic issues had discussed the prospects for demining and restoring rail traffic in the area.

Yo mate could you ask the newbotottroll on TheMess about those NAF accounts over vehicular losses, because it's the first time I hear of Lost armor Under-reporting ANY losses. I guess he hasn't seen the tallies.
