    Lancet vs ship. Maybe the ship is smaller than it seems but that Lancet f'd it up. Project 376 is fairly small actually.

    The most important aspect of this is that the Lancet was operating in full daylight in Zap city. Ukrotrash are unable to keep slow-flying loitering munitions out of the major frontline cities that they still occupy. Razz

    "Last week, a highly-classified Pentagon document showed that four out of nine JDAMS fired by Ukrainian pilots missed their targets due to Russian GPs jamming capabilities. The document says that other artillery systems such as the M270 and HIMARs are also being impacted by Moscow’s forces using GPs jamming."

    Of the other five, one crashed due the wings falling off and another ploughed directly into the mud on release. The others were stolen before being loaded to the aircraft, but are being officially counted as expended munitions.

    From the previous page. One theory is that the gun barrel dug into the ground going down a hill. That seems awfully far fetched. On Telegram, someone noticed tank tracks on the flat top of the hull. So it looks like this tank was in a dugout. And another tank ran into it. And hit just the turret that was sticking up. There is dirt all over it too. This makes more sense imo.

    These ones do not even have the main gun.

    The main thing that makes it useful is its AP round which uses DU ammo... and the Russian reaction to UK supplying DU ammo with their tanks suggests the Americans probably don't want to antagonise them more.

    The point is, not all HIMARS have that spaceship looking cab. Which the nafo f-heads all use to claim that no hmars have ever been destroyed

    True, HIMARS is a rocket system that could be mounted on any old truck you wanted.

    In fact considering how hard the Russians will be looking for it it would make sense for the Orcs to take it off the original truck it came on and put it on a different one.

    In Desert Storm Scud missile TELs were disguised as tanker trucks and school buses and all sorts of other things to hide its real identity... and the Orcs are getting lots of stuff to the front no doubt by being just as sneaky too.

    They are arseholes, not idiots... well idiots for getting dragged into a land war with Russia because the US and London wanted it.

    Rostec decided to transfer artillery factories owned by UVZ to the Tekhmash concern, 04.18.2023.

    The Rostec State Corporation plans to consolidate artillery armament enterprises in order to increase the supply of modern weapons to the troops in accordance with the needs of the special operation, the state corporation said.

    In particular, Rostec will transfer to the Tekhmash concern several assets of Uralvagonzavod, namely the Central Research Institute Burevestnik, Uraltransmash and Plant No. 9, while their teams will remain in their places and continue to do their usual business, TASS reports.

    Rostec added that Uralvagonzavod will focus on its main tank theme.

    Earlier, Uralvagonzavod successfully completed another contract for the supply of T-90M Proryv tanks, a new batch of modernized new tanks was sent to the Ministry of Defence.

    Russia should insist in dealing directly with Mauro Vieira, the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who's being stepped over by Celso Amorim, whereby a direct clash is expected sooner or later. 
    Also, an invitation to Lula to participate at SPIEF is an excellent opportunity to isolate Amorim, who's an utter illiterate on economic matter.
    Let this latter one be kept gesticulating alone in his delirium tremens.

    An example of Amorim's delusional spirit:

    "Lula reiterates that Brazil condemns violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity". (From Brazilian outlet 247 Brazil).

    ^ Serbia is on shakey ground. The US can ignite a war in country any time it wants. So it has to play the game. If the US has to arm twist places like Serbia for weapons , it really shows something 

    Anyway , Putins visits. At the very end of this clip, he meets Lapin. I am just saying this because the Kremlin spinsters are probably going to make something out of it.

    Looks like the claim about it I have posted on here before is true.

    While the real ethnic Ukrainians get conserved/spared or get to serve in the elite nationalist units.

    So what?

    These ethnic ''Russians'' are fighting war against Russia in the name of Nazism, they should be a priority for extermination and now they get the front seats

    Last thing they need are these sleeper agents after the war to f*ck with them

    Interesting, what advantages/ improvements does this new Burlak turret offer? If in case this turret is installed in new T-90s, maybe they can add another pair of wheels and increase length of the tank while they are at it, this will be a Black Eagle 2.0 kind of upgrade.

    Political scientist Sorokin revealed the details of the "Dagger" strike on the bunker with NATO generals: no one survived, 04.18.2023.

    In recent weeks, several significant events have taken place that have greatly influenced, and are already influencing, the course of further hostilities both in the Donbass and throughout the conflict. And the first such event can be considered the strike of the Russian Aerospace Forces with hypersonic weapons on a bunker near Lvov in early March. Political scientist and historian Nikolai Sorokin spoke about this in an interview on the Day TV YouTube channel.

    The expert noted that the entire current system of command and control of the armed forces of Ukraine was actually concentrated at the so-called point of contact.

    "As a result of a Kinzhal missile strike from a MiG-31 aircraft, up to three hundred NATO officers were destroyed. There were also representatives of our direct enemy, but there was also a very large number of so-called advisers, in fact, coordinators or even leaders. Including several American generals, many colonels, many senior officers, possibly British generals, a lot of Polish ones," the channel's interlocutor said.

    Most importantly, they were absolutely sure of their safety, since they were at a depth of 120 meters underground in the old Soviet command post of the Transcarpathian military district under a multi-meter reinforced concrete cap, but the "Dagger" brought down this slab on the head of "our guests". No one survived there, the expert concluded.

    I have my skepticism about such a high number of NATO officers & advisors dying in that strike

    They aren't fools, they know Russia has Kinzhals and in fact one such rocket was already used to strike a hardened underground base at the start of the war

    More likely it was mostly Ukrainians who died, with some NATO personnel too
