Russian special military operation in Ukraine #18

Medvedev doubted that at the talks with Ukraine in August "there will be something to talk about and with whom"

The possibility of resuming negotiations was previously announced by the head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia.
MOSCOW, 18 June. /TASS/. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council (SB) of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev doubted that in the case of the resumption of negotiations between the delegations of Russia and Ukraine in August, "there will be anything to talk about and anyone to talk to"

Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, announced the possibility of resuming negotiations . "The chief negotiator from Ukraine considers it possible to resume negotiations with Russia from the end of August. It is possible and so. The question is whether they will talk about what and with whom," Medvedev wrote on Saturday in his Telegram channel .

n particular, according to Arakhamia, Kyiv may return to negotiations with Moscow by the end of August after the Ukrainian side is likely to launch a counteroffensive in some areas. The politician also stressed that Ukraine will not accept "the loss of territory, it is legally impossible." At the same time, he added that it is possible to "consider a political agreement" similar to the one proposed in Istanbul.

Team Ukraine is onto you, expect more provocations from them. Serbians and Hungarians getting some unwarranted hate

This is nothing new. They've been arresting people that go to fight in foreign countries for a while now. In Ukraine from the beginning in 2014, if they could prove it.

Tb2 has better survivability than this against Russia with a small rcs and low speed making it hard to detect.

This drone is the size of a f-16, rcs of a f-16 and speed of an-2. Pretty easy to destroy with buk and pantsirs.

Not providing evidence of being easily knocked out of the sky is a very good reason to stopping supply using security as the excuse.

Lost 50%: The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for the first time announced the figures of losses of the Armed Forces in equipment during the war.

"We lost about 50%. This is about 1300 infantry fighting vehicles, 400 tanks, 700 artillery systems,"

Thanks but who said it and where?

As noted so often. This ship needs TOR. The ship that gets at the end of the construction with PanzirM is not sufficiently protected. The war clearly shows this. No protection without a TOR.

Please dear Ministry of Defense, installed on the small rockets boats 16xTOR. 8x long, 8x short. the also results in better fleet protection.

Serbian law says no fighting in foreign wars, no matter what kind, no matter which side, no exceptions

But that would mean replacing oversized redundant main gun with some reasonably sized gun to free up space for Tor

How will you fight Battle of Jutland without massive main gun?

They are developing a modular deck mounted TOR system but it would likely require AESA radar arrays to work which would be expensive for what are just patrol boats.

Once they have them operational they won't need to remove anything from existing vessels, the launch bins will just sit on the deck around the place....

I personally hope they add the laser defence systems for shooting down enemy drones out to 5km because they could probably dazzle optically guided targets out to 10 times that range...

Odds are pretty good that they would use Brimstone against shipping because they don't have any, so any ship would do for a target...

TOR would easily take care of Brimstone, but they are still testing it.

BTW the war shows nothing of the sort... this ship under tow has nothing to do with the conflict.... read the posts above.

The only ships they have damaged appear to be a cargo landing ship with a Tochka missile and a Serna landing ship and a few tiny attack boats... the Americans would call Boghammers.

How will you fight Battle of Jutland without massive main gun?

When this conflict is over, as a patrol ship the 76mm gun is going to be vastly more useful than any SAM or laser.

This war might not be over till sometime next year, but these boats will spend most of their operational service in peace time when a gun will be rather more useful.

New developments in shell designs will only make it more useful over time.

Read the posts above you lazy dude. No hit. No damage. F...ing rust. The ship will take part in the naval parade in St. Pete.

Scathing remarks by the sour asshole Murz

He says most of the t72bm and T90 tank parks as well as the bmp 3 parks were lost to ineptitude

He makes some snide remarks about Chinese radios as well

Who is this character? And how reliable are those reports?

I doubt t72 and t90 are exhausted , simply because most of the Russian forces were withdrawn from the battlefield

As well as BMP 3

Bmp 1 and t62 is for the militia to wrap up their business in the LDNR with Russian fire support

But we have not seen the MAXAR pictures from before February 24 of the so called Russian buildup since then

Maybe they do not want to show how terrifying the buildup really is and what it looks like

In any case what is that asshole murz problem?

Is he mad they do not obey Russian command orders and mindlessly storm mariupol?

Chetniks still active in Serbia?
I have always sympathized with the Serbs.

In Argentina, unfortunately, our nationalist right has always had sympathy for the Croats because of their Catholicism and because there is a lot of Croatian immigration here.

Russian MoD  releases unreasonably little information, so it will give space to a lot of speculation.
Chinese radios are everywhere and not only in LDPR militias, but also among Russian servicemen. And those financing drives are there for a reason. Problem has been pointed already multiple times by other correspondents and insiders. I don't understand why LDPR militias don't get new helmets and protection wests from Russians. You can still see people with  SSh-60 and 68 in area of active combats.

My friend, this is what we have been saying since the conflict began. This is not a conventional military war but a war between two models of civilization. If I were Putin, I would fill the front with these photos.

Our societies are hijacked. Here in Argentina the president approved abortion laws while we have 80 percent inflation and 50 percent poverty. He has a parasitic son who is useless and earns money dressing as a transvestite. Look at what the corrupt son of Biden or Western leaders is and compare with the low profile and discretion of the Putin family. That is no accident. They are values and ways of life.
The idols of western youth are stupid singers, influencers, shitty people who get rich off the ignorance and bad taste of others. All this occurs with fractured and increasingly unequal societies.

Finally, we might see more Inokhodets action.

JSC Kronstadt has been mass-producing the Inohodets UAV for the fourth month. Eight complexes of six vehicles each have already been delivered to the army.

I am astonished at that as well. Basic protection like that is unlikely to be in short supply in the Russian Army and simplistically is a very low cost force multiplier.

They must be supplying the LDPR with ammo/munitions etc so the logistics are in place.

That's why Israel is the world's most serious and powerful nation. Israel controls humanity via the ecosystem of food, money, medicine, media & entertainment. Religions are their shield. All of them.

Original account was hacked by Letonians, some time after Kiril got arrested.
I'm not sure how many, but it looks that way.

The Russian military department announced that JSC Kronstadt (St. Petersburg) has already started series production of Inokhodets unmanned aerial vehicles as early as the fourth month. The "Pacer" UAV is a heavy attack drone designed for reconnaissance flights patrol and observation, fire support for allied military units, and can also be used as an independent strike unit.
At present, eight complexes of six aircraft each have been handed over to the Russian army

It was also noted that 12 more complexes will be delivered in the next month, which will take up service in the sky above Donbass and Kherson.

Features:
Weight - 1200 kg.
Maximum take-off weight - 1500 kg
Payload - 300 kg
Engine: 1 piston
Maximum speed - 150 km / h
Cruising speed - 120 km / h
Maximum flight range - 850 km
Maximum flight altitude - 8000 m
Flight duration - 24 hours

It’s UCAV. UAVs are strictly for surveillance and reconnaissance but UCAVs have strike capabilities

Excuse my ignorance but who is this guy? Is it an "expert" getting the same internet "insider" knowledge as us, or has he actually been in the thick of it? If he has seen it or heard first hand reliable reports from colleagues then sometimes what a military needs is scathing remarks. That said in that position you have to be careful talking in public as this is the thickest propaganda battle I've ever witnessed. But still sometimes fiery remarks are what is needed. If the guy is a random assholr then disregard previous remarks.

And yeah even patrol boats need at least pantsir or be under umbrella of serious air defense/fighter patrols.

Excellent news, these will be useful, to hunt US weapon shipments

As well as to loiter for a long time over the enemy with a small RCS and low speed

Ka52, Su34, and su25 can also attack enemies located by the hunter complex
