    Yes it was mentioned some time ago in the military press. The whole process was done without any human interference.

    The only issue with the Trabant was the use of a 2-cyle engine. The blue smoke is intrinsic to an engine where the lubricant
    has to be added to the fuel.

    Not all of them. Fan song was a Trabi with 1.1l gasoline engine taken out from VW Polo.
    It was both "sedan" and "kombi" versions, and it was a very versatile and economic car. Of another age Laughing

    kabooom - again aggression against NATO ? I mean staff who makes decisions regarding "counteroffensive" ?



    Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the defeat of one of the decision-making centers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Igor Konashenkov, the strike was carried out by the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation with the help of high-precision long-range air-launched weapons.

    In addition, on June 14, the Russian Defense Ministry spoke about nightly group strikes with precision-guided weapons at the places of concentration of reserves of Ukrainian militants and foreign mercenaries . A spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry said that all designated targets were hit.

    For the equipment? Yes.  For the American MIC? Do you hear that sound? Its the cash register as their lobbyists will be insisting on billions of dollars for R&D to render Russian weapons less effective.  Remember, these systems don't actually have to work, they just have to promise to work.  After all the MIC once supplied Iraq with dowsing rods that could detect ieds and landmines, or so they said.  James Randi exposed that for the fraud it was.  As an added bonus, that Russia is using fairly old equipment to knock out wonderwaffles means the corporate state press can sell two stories at the same time.  First the sky news gaslighting that their audiences are in fact not seeing tanks blowing up when they are seeing tanks blowing up.  You will not believe how many in their audience will buy into the gaslighting.  Orwell was not writing about Stalin in 1984, he was writing about trends in western media that existed even in the 1940s. The other variant is spies!  Russia is stealing our technology and do so because of spies.  Biden regime officials can then call out the GOP for treason and of course any of us who call the whole proxy war the scam it clearly is traitors! To top it off, Russian spies mean the MIC and intel apparat need more money to defend our freedumbs and democratic way of life.

    As much as I criticize the inefficiency of Russian shipbuilding, what is happening in the West is a disaster.
    Military Spending by Country; Britain 68 billion dollars, Germany 55.8 billion and France 53.6 billion.
    I wonder what for ?

    Most importantly, I wonder how big a military budget those countries need to produce attack helicopters, tanks, howitzers, air defense systems, MLRS systems, etc.
    They have a decent navy and a decent air force and that is all, but there are flaws like the UK with Type-45 destroyers.
    The military-industrial complexes of those countries charge a fortune for their products but the armies of those countries do not have what they really need.
    Somehow it all seems inflated to me...

    The Kriegsmarine or German Navy has 6 submarines, 11 frigates and 4 corvettes.
    The German Luftwaffe has a total of about 400 aircraft - in total.. Slightly more than half of the total number are Eurofighter and Tornado.
    The ground forces have a total of 290 tanks, 100+ howitzers and just over 700 IFVs.
    There are also a few air defense systems, as well as other vehicles, but it's all miserable..
    And for this, the Germans allocate over 50 billion dollars ?

    I see that the massive unplanned west supplies has actually weakened the Ukr army .

    It's logic , if you are receiving that huge aid you would need more training , logistics , air cover and coordination between branches , how would Ukraine secure all of that during a war with even no air cover and against enemy that can hit any point in Ukraine .

    More supplies = more bleeding for Ukraine .

    What "Ukraine" and the war project of Washington saved so far were the huge stockpiles of weapons and ammo
    that Russia left behind after 1991. And the doctrines of having lots of artillery and armored vehicles and mobile
    AD systems.

    -------

    Yuri Podolyaka:

    The massacre near Orekhovo - even experienced officers did not see this.

    What happened today near Orekhovo was a Slaughter!!!

    One gets the impression that the NATO members put the Kiev regime on a very "hard stretch".

    Time is limited (NATO summit July 11-12), goals have been set (victory in the Battle of Azov). The enemy (that is, we) is strong, but this should not become an obstacle to the implementation of the plans of Washington and London.

    I received data on enemy losses near Orekhovo (without the right to publish). I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow there will be new videos of damaged equipment that are terrible for the population of Ukraine. There is a lot of it there - dozens of units.

    But the worst thing is not even that. The worst thing is the loss of personnel. The enemy could not even pull out the wounded from there.

    And experienced officers (ours) are shocked by what they saw today. They have never seen such a massacre (according to them), and such a disregard for the life of their soldiers (on the part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine). And they said all this ... with respect for the courage of the enemy (soldiers, not command), capable of carrying out such an insane order.

    P.S. It is a pity that only today many hundreds of essentially Russian (even Ukrainian) guys paid with their lives for British and American interests.

    PP.S. And yes, ours have already restored their positions near Orekhov !!!
