    That would make sense, but only used as ruse, as I doubt they would have expertise. And there won’t  be any Wagners left as MoD offered them quite a good deal. Mot to mention PMC Redut and Gazprom are offering good money

    are we witnessing a colour revolution in France by America to overthrow Macron who has been highly critical of America and doing oil sales using the Yuan and wanting France and the EU to have strong ties with China, which goes against America's rules based world order ??

    where are the rioters getting heavy weaponry in a country with strict gun laws ?? who is co ordinating the riots and violence ?? and where are the ring leaders and who is organising them ??

    it was the same with the Yellow vest around the same time Macron said America was the EU's foe

    Personally I thin they will participate again. If you look at the initial reasons why they were removed. Its legal. Because the PMC cannot operate on Russian territory, which now includes Donbas. However, Belarus is not Russia, and attacking Ukraine from Belarus is an ideal use for Wagner. Maybe without Pregozhin, or after him being told to shut up if he wants to come back alive. Maybe they will even attack Lithuania. After all if a bunch of terrorists attack, does article 5 apply?

    Of course not, and that is why there is so much noise in Poland and the Baltic superpowers.
    Nobody even try to cover the fact, that there is a regular training program for insurgents being carried in all of them. Bandera thugs have been trained in Poland for years, which I find especially disgusting. When Lukashenko is telling about trained and equipped terrorist units to be used against Belarus, he is dead serious. It would be something similar to the Ukronazi intrusions in Belgorod area.
    Having a few thousand strong PMC to assist your regular border forces and army is not a joke, considering that it is about 20-25% of the whole Belarussian army.

    At least some special units of the french police are using russian-made weapons.  Very Happy

    Has my support.  thumbsup

    And take a look at top cover
    As the first pics of T-72´s with roof protection appeared I stated that soon someone will put armor plates on top instead of sandbags and that one day
    it will be ERA bricks.

    That was a AS-90. Or a Krab. There are different claims. Propably hit by a FAB-500.

    @Franco,

    Sorry, i reformatted it before trough video editing software to MP4 as someone on Odysee could not see it either.
    at this point i tried 5 different formats. now an MKV that seems to run great on my end so i hope it fixes it for you and other users.

    Mentions of gattling guns being used. I have seen various other forces (Iran springs to mind) mounting gattling guns on 4x4's being used as shoot and scoot tactics, or for doing ambushes. Seen pictures of Iranian 12.7mm in a sand buggy type vehicle and a 7.62mm on a 4x4. Another worthy mention is the North Korean 14.5mm gattling gun used on a towed mount and on boats, but I am pretty sure they will have mounted on a vehicle of some sort. This would give better range (around 1.5-1.8km) and better penetration even against light armour. Mounted in a defensive bunker could prove difficult for the Ukrainian meat shields advancements lol!

    |Its nice to see Russian celebrities showing courage and patriotism.
    I remember how angry VV Putin was at the sellout ie traitorous ex pats, and rightly so.

    For foreigners, Grigory is probably best described as the Russian Tom Jones. Or a non perverted equivalent of Elton John. I'd prefer the former analogy personally. : D

    And take a look at top cover - it is made of angeled, triangle panels to disrupt the flighpath of projectile.

    Angling will make it stronger for when it starts to snow again, and also allow double the number of ERA panels to be used (and increase their effectiveness too I suspect).

    Wagner conjecture can go to the Wagner thread...

    where are the rioters getting heavy weaponry in a country with strict gun laws ?? who is co ordinating the riots and violence ?? and where are the ring leaders and who is organising them ??

    A couple of days ago the rioters broke in to a gun shop...

    Another SS missile.

    Looks largely intact... maybe they jammed it or something... or it is just a dud.

    I feel like scooping out my eyeballs with a corroded spoon every time I see a video from Marinka, 1 and half years, can't take a fucking village. The amount of times this place has been falsely announced as "liberated" makes it even worse.

    Liberating Marinka is completely irrelevant in this war...
    Will it be liberated now, next month or at the end of the SMO by "signature" doesn't mean much.
    Goals of the SMO are much much more than liberating few empty villages in Donbas.

    Wagner can also recruit internationally. Maybe they will offer big $$ to the white helmets to go **** with the NATO assholes that sold them up the river. Wouldn't that be sweet justice.

    Wow Krasnopol has been refined to such an amazing system. Only USD 3.5K per round. An incredible bargain. surely they can make an even lighter weight version to drop from drones with much less ruggedized electronics. Maybe even a thermobaric version.
