Russian special military operation in Ukraine #28

If this - information ( get it ! dis- information ) is true , then it bodes well for Russia , far more than it bodes ill for Russia . NAZTO might as well pack up and go home !
What ? You don't get my jokes ? My jokes are wasted on you ! ....Any country that can give 100,000 martyrs in six months , is not going to be defeated .

The power network isn't down though

You do understand the difference between "down" and "out" don't you?

Russia are careful not to hit the power generation, they go for substations and transmission infrastructure.
It's quite strategic, and repairable.

Think of it as puppy training for the Ukrainian citizens, when they let their government do something bad, Russia rubs their nose in it.

I do, and it's neither down nor out.

Down in this context, means degrading of the power system to a lower level.
This has most certainly happened.

Remember, there are multiple objectives, firstly to hinder the Ukrainian military movements, secondly to teach the citizens the war is real and their government is doing bad things, and lastly to stop electricity exports helping the Nato/EU.
I am sure there are also other minor objectives to targeting the power systems.

Why were bans handed out for saying the truth?

It is shocking to see the Russian media sphere muzzle criticism, and then follow that same criticism to the Tee

I was muzzled for saying the Russian leadership should be fired

And then, they fired Gerasimov and Shoigu

And put Surovikhin and Mizintsev as I suggested

Maybe I am ahead of my time - as for Lapin - I don't see him anymore either

And Kadyrov was given a medal for saying the same shit I said

Sorry but Gerasimov and Shoigu fired. Got some link there. And Lapin is still around but he reports to Surovikhin and Mizintsev still reports to Gerasimov and Shoigu
as does everyone else.

How old are you again?

All quiet on the East Front. Except for the 24-7 roar of missiles heading north. Except for the first line picket in the Black Sea. Except for CAP up 24-7. It's 3:22 hereabouts and our little north side village is quiet, nothing but the sound of our children's foot pads as they take their pre-dawn amble and Kristina taking her Mach 8 stroll in the lawn.

Shoigu fired? Does he know, as he was recently inspecting mobilised personnel. It must be embarrassing to come to work after being fired.

Anyway, it seems Geran drones are doing great job. They managed to bring down Ukrainian MiG-29. Even indirectly that is. So, does it mean UA have no AA systems? Maybe now air campaign will begin

I'm surprised the US hasn't donated lots of C-RAM systems to Ukraine. It might be the 1 system that could be effective against them when defending a point target.

Tribute to the Orchestra Wagner




Lyrics (in English):

The war orchestra members are madly in love
In the cannonade auratorio
In this gold of days and explosion of nights
And in the intermissions of the hospital ward

The war orchestra members are born for fire
For battles without any ideals
Where, under the cries of Chimeras, conductor Lucifer
Controls the flight of the Valkyries.

The war orchestra members don't want silence
Their path to Valhalla is bright
There is only the moon in the sky, only war in the heart
And the crazy tango of death.

So come on, Wagner, play
Raise your orchestra members
Raise with a light stroke of the bow
Our Russian PMC.


Orchestra members, soldiers of Russia.
May grace be with you
Our Fallen, Our Saints
And God's heavenly army.

So come on Wagner, play
Raise your orchestra members
Raise with a light stroke of the bow
Our Russian PMC.

Russia has performed pretty mediocre so far, I hope it turns it around in the winter and gives the Ukronazis an ass-whooping to remember. But as of right now, it hasn't been smooth sailing. That's just being honest with oneself. You can go screw yourself.

Meduza is based in Latvia or some such. Might be mixing them up with somebody else.
Either way you're quoting NATO propaganda

As for the war being smooth sailing, it's a proxy war with NATO. And impossible to tell how close they are to defeat or how many casualties the Ukrainians and NATO mercs have suffered. That information is a lot harder to estimate than any Russian casualties.

90k Russian dead or irrecoverably wounded is a NATO wet dream but nothing more

This was part of the speech from permanent representative Nebenzya at the UN today  

Today's loudest critics of the referendums were in the forefront of supporters of Kosovo's independence. They insisted that Kosovo had the right to secede from the state in the event of a real threat of serious violations of the rights of their population.

Washington recently announced its readiness to use force to protect Taiwan, which is an integral part of China. Obviously, there is no question of any "sanctity" of the principle of territorial integrity for the United States and NATO countries, they support it only when it suits their interests.

Especially when the main reason for Russia's propaganda losses was to save men's lives. Plus they are making trades to get men back. Russia is valuing lives over everything. Basically to the same level that Israel does.

I'd say 50,000 is still an insult to the boards intelligence. 90,000 is almost double that.

From the telegrams

In Zelensky’s office, they announced explosions at “critical infrastructure” facilities in the Kiev region, an air raid was announced.

Can't be Russia, they ran out of missiles in March, according to the West.

Jammers. Not decoy. It's an old video.

Story about igla is fake.

Good point.

But to what extent HoJ on SAM can counter an ECM pod is questionable.
