Near Nikolaev, the S-300 division transferred by Slovakia to Ukraine was completely destroyed
Heard about a S-300 taken out today morning near Nikolayev. Thought that was strange, as the S-300s were destroyed mostly at the start of the conflict, and only a few hidden ones have been taken out since. Russia was around Nikolayev not long ago and conducting airstrikes. Now there's a S-300 there. So yes it must have been the Slovakian one.
It's a S-300PMU1. Ukrinians aren't even trained on this model. Totally useless to give it to them in the first place.

The war is not only fought in Ukraine. The main battlefield is the global economy. Above all, many EU countries are suffering from the conflict, in Germany the entire industrial base is at risk. The resistance in the German economy is growing and the red lines in Hungary are irrefutable. The American coalition of the willing is very, very fragile and every day this conflict lasts this coalition becomes more fragile, with the danger that many EU countries change their current course...
There are strange things going on in the EU, pivoting away from Russia who has 25% of the world's natural gas reserves, to the US that has 5% of the world's gas reserves, something which doesn't make logical sense. (Ukraine has about 0.6% of the world's natural gas reserves)
Firstly, the US has only about 6 years of proved oil reserves left, so gas is going to become more important to them for local energy, than shipping it to the EU. Secondly, the cost of LNG from the US is going to make EU products more expensive than Chinese products, who can get discount gas from Russian pipelines.
So why would the EU do this? Alex Christoforou pointed out in his daily video blog, that he thought many EU politicians were bought and paid for by Soros. I don't know what evidence there is for this, I suppose donation records are in the public domain. But it might explain some irrational behavior. The US is also well known for bribing politicians. There must be something like that going on to explain the EU committing economic suicide.
Apparently a lot of the neo-nazi forces in Ukraine exist purely for the money, like many of the terrorist groups in Syria who got USD via the Saudis, (and black market weapons from Ukraine).

Slovakian one was PMU, which itself is an export version of PS. they definitely familiar with the model. PMU-1 with 150 km range 48N6E missile was owned by Greece.
Anyway.. that was fast action by Russians. Hope we'll see images soon.

Rice is dirt cheap and you can easily get it from Asia
Growing rice in Crimea is a waste of time and resources, only commies were dumb enough to grow rice in arid region
The US exports 3M tons of rice a year. Why would it be a waste of time to grow rice in Crimea? Rice is not that cheap. You can grow more expensive verities. Even Japan grows rice.

Well at least it wasn't my tax dollars going up in smoke this time. Speaking of which, am I too far off the mark in assuming that most, if not all, the money donated to "Ukrainian refugees and victims of the war" will invariably end up in the coffers of the Ukrainian oligarchs and will never end up assisting civilians?

Where would Slovakia get a PMU1 from?
They own it from the Warsaw Pact days I think
TBH I'm surprised they have any in the first place. But it would be a P, the original model.

It's all about what gives more food energy per hectare at the moment. Climate permitting
With the Ukraine out of the grain game this year and fertilizer prices having soared - we're going to see a global shortage of food.
It's important for Russia to ensure exports to its traditional customers in the Middle East, as well as friendly countries around the world.
As for rice, they grow it in the Kuban, and also now in the Far East as well, Primorsky region and so on. Definately room in Russia for more rice farmers. Farmers of any sort really. Russia can invite some in. There was a plan to invite laborers from Uzbekistan to re-cultivate Russia's abandoned agricultural lands, we're talking about 1-2 million people. The plan met controversy of course.

In Germany the US simply controls the information about the conflict. Many media buy their reports from news agencies and do no research themselves. An anti-Russian and pro-American mood has prevailed in the public service media since around the mid to late 1990s. Gerhard Ruge and Gabriele Krone Schmalz were responsible for reporting from Moscow on the first German television station until around 1994. Both showed a lot of respect for the USSR and Russia in reporting, so the reports were objectively and very good. From the mid-1990s, reporting went downhill, becoming more and more malicious and anti-Russian. I remember the hostage crisis in Beslan, where almost more blame was placed on the Russian security forces than on the terrorists. The terrorists were portrayed as victims of Russian cruelty, which forced them to commit their crimes. End 1999 Udo Lielischkies moved to the studio Moscow and became chief of the studio in 2012...he is known for his hatred against Russia.
Sadly, today's journalists have few skills and even fewer brains, pulling data either from Twitter or established transatlantic networks. Above all the huge Ukrainian troll army has been feeding Western media and news agencies for years. A toxic network has built up and has been since the mid-90s and not just since yesterday!
Whoever controls the news also controls politics! You can tell by Chancellor Scholz, who reacts very cautiously and always with a delay. He's driven by the media, one wrong move and the vote of no confidence isn't far away. Why else should Germany do without cheap and, above all, in contrast to fracking gas, carefully extracted Russian gas? Does anyone here really believe that European politicians care so much about Ukrainian NAZIS? The media drives politics in Europe like shepherds drive their sheep.
I saw an interesting documentary many years ago... it was about how the US wanted to go from superpower to hyperpower. There was talk of the rise of the new powers and that the US would lose its military dominance, but future American dominance would rest on the monopoly of information flow. That's exactly what we're seeing now! The US is pushing its narrative about the Ukraine crisis and partially losing the information war. The longer the war lasts, the weaker the American narrative becomes.

I wonder if it's leaving the Odessa or heading to it.
--- I'm also curious if Russian SEAD effort actually managed to find and destroy TB-2 GCS's. as such will not only put the drone out but also serve as a good psychological weapon.

They destroyed them all several times over
Check the Russian MoD reports
They've destroyed about 5 times more armed drones than Ukraine had at the beginning of the war
They're getting constant shipments of Turkish drones via Slovakia

200km control range. So it's not going to control drones over Donbas unless they have a good number of radio repeaters.
My opinion is they will try to use it against russian navy ships off the coast of Odessa.

Putin should let them be, right? What shit could happen if they could preserve for the next 5 years? None, obviously! Striking an airliner, bombing own breed, cutting off water, killing&rageing in daylight, throwing ballistic missiles with canister warheads on refugees ... Hell, what a fun! He should have support that! He was so harsh and a man with no manners! Next time, they can just blow up a reactor. Moskali na promieniovanie. How splendid!

It is obvious that "Varyag" and "Marshal Ustinov" cruisers will remain in the Mediterranean Sea as long as the fighting in Ukraine continues. The frigate "Kasatonov" is with them. There are also several large anti - submarine ships of the 1155 project in the Mediterranean Sea. The pictures of the ships are not pictures from the Mediterranean, but all those ships are still there.
Varyag
Ustinov
Kasatonov

48 potent antiship missiles, with a real decent AD. Enough to break a neck of 6th Fleet if needed.
