    Unusual gun emplacement, bit limited on angle of fire but concealment of tank itself is very good. Laughing

    Not gonna lie, I have questions (guy in the photo does as well)

    But Klub missiles launched from Russian subs especially in the Black Sea will probably have to fly over NATO airspace.

    NLAW is incredibly overdesigned.  Too heavy and bulky to carry in the assault, too short-ranged to use from proper standoff, basically unguided, massive overkill for most targets but super marginal when fired against tanks frontally like it was designed to be.

    2—No one in #RF talking about #Medvedchuk.
    3—No “holiday-related” ceasefires are planned now or in the future.

    Probably decided that the risk of Russia attacking is low so are moving them to somewhere where they would be of use.

    1/2 Are the Nazis preparing to surrender Odessa?

    Evacuation trains are sent from Odessa to Uzhgorod and Chernivtsi.  And it’s not Odessa residents who are being evacuated, because the train includes not only passenger cars, but also cars with military equipment and army property  and there are many military people among the passengers.

    Is Kyiv surrendering Odessa or preparing for a conflict with Hungary and Romania? https://t.me/vicktop55/3327 #vicktop55

    If indeed this is a military only evacuation from Odessa it makes a nice target for Russian air force. Russia most likely knew a withdrawal would happen once the Donbass battle reached a certain stage maybe it's why little attacks were seen in Odessa just enough to keep a little pressure.

    Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the Orbán government has maintained the position that Hungary is not involved in any form of direct arms transfers to Ukraine.

    Meanwhile, according to a relevant government decree, only non-lethal equipment, such as protective and medical equipment, and fuel are allowed to pass directly through Hungary’s borders to Ukraine, but others such as weapons are not.

Now if they can do this in normal day to day life then during war they can do far worse. And do u think USA cares one bit about this pro Russian journalist?

    Gonzalo wasn't pro-Russian. Also, nazis not only kill but racketeers, kidnap and threaten people as well. But there is a high possibility he was arrested by SBU.

    Sevastopol naval base is IN black Sea right in the Crimean peninsula. Where do you think Moskva was based ? and Black Sea Fleet already have like 4 Kilos already assigned to her. there is 5th which is Alrosa but she's never in good shape.

    What if Kiev was both a feint and a recon in force to sound out Ukrainian defensive strong points for later attack and to tie down massive amounts of Ukrainian troops for first class tickets on the train to Hitler and Bandera? Now that they have located, blasted some of those positions and tested resolve they lurk in Belarus to hit them again and the mere threat of reincursion ties them down. My guess is Kiev, if the plan has ever been to take it, is only a goal after the Donbass and Odessa are liberated and secured.

    I think Plan A was for the Russian speaking side of Ukraine to revolt against the Nazis once the Russian military moved in, but it did not work exactly as planned. I believe some of the mayors did make some promises to the Russians but then made a U-turn. I don't think there was any plan to take the capital city by force but Mariupol and other cities in the east and south was always on the cards. Once the Donbass falls (looks like it will be soon) I don't expect much resistance from the Ukrs.
