    Obviously heavily influenced by the SMO.

    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #47 - Page 11 Img_2055

    The Russian military-industrial complex [NPO "Elektromashina"] presented a promising automated module 53C16U which is specialized for combating bpl
    It has a radar¹ and optoelectronic station for fire detection and guidance. Armament consists of a 7.62mm rotary machine gun and 4 launchers with interceptor drones² equipped with fragmentation warheads. It also has an electronic jamming system.
    ¹ The radar is capable of detecting miniature drones at distances of 2+km
    ² Interceptor drones are guided to the target by two channels: automatically via the optoelectronic station or via virtual glasses as with FVP kamikaze drones.
    This is an idle module. The operator can operate it from a safe and comfortable position. The automated system can network up to 16 of these modules.

    Arrow, first I've seen. Maybe so low on stock of APC that the final reserve stocks, the Striker, are having to be used.

    So it looks like they are slowly dropping the last supplies of equipment prepared for the offensive?

One video of guy doing his Shashlik beating two mobilizer and the comments are almost all in "ukrainian" against the mobilizers. Multiple videos like that, then other videos of Odessits speaking out against provocative questions why they don't speak ukrainian, the comments again in both russian and ukrainian mostly addressing the hypocrisy of the provocateurs. One Odessit is playing chess and is asked in "ukrainian" he replies that she shall ask in Russian because he does not understand her Smile, was funny a bit. Of course there was one ukrainian clown speaking in fluent russian says I don't speak russian I speak Odessian and follows explaining it's actually an ukrainian dialect. I have to cringe at stuff like that.

    This if course does not give us much but apparently the grey area of people being pro of neither side is maybe bigger than I thought. There is obviously always some people that are indifferent to what flag will be placed, but the percentage is unclear.

    That 'Ukrainian dialect' quip is a bit of a joke. At one point the opposition in the east of the country was rhetorting that the Russian language was just a dialect of the Ukrainian one so that it's fine to speak in it and write in it. Or the Maidan regime claimed Russian as a dialect of Ukrainian. Something like that

    They would, anyone's would, but we're not in that situation to get angered by it, not for now anyway.

    Even if we do get mass mobilization, I doubt the Russian leadership will use Russian lives as callously as the Ukraine has thrown away theirs for daring stunts in the pursuit of PR points, to protect the repution of NATO wunderwaffen, stand their ground to the very Ukrainian long after it has become tactically inexpedient, and launch offensives that would supposedly panic and break the Russian lines but don't accomplish any such thing.

    Well, I believe you know just as I from talking to some, that there is a lot of them who believe their own propaganda of Ukrainians being the very root of civilization and predating Russians and some even believe the total nutcase versions of being the root of humanity. **** African Origin Theory, it's Ukrainain Origin Theory.

    The thing is, Ukraines leadership themselves want to stop those parties

    And the reason? Because they should go to the front according to zelensky - it's not fair for the guys dying at the battle zone

    But then this leads to one conclusion- if majority of people at such clubs are indeed women

    Then does he mean to draft women , now that male population has dropped so low?

    well like there nazi friends during WW2 sent young boys as young as 13 year old to fight on the front lines and young girls and boys to man anti air flak batteries, so i wouldn't put it past Zelensky and his nazi cronies to draft women for there armed forces

    Also part of the exhibition. In typical french fashion ( Wink) the AMX-10RC was driven to the front and there it surrendered.  Very Happy

    It looks like it could be mounted on tanks and BMPs in place of the commander's gun.

    Though I would perhaps replace the "interceptor drones" with solid rocket anti air missiles.

    There have been some incidents in the war where Russian lives have been thrown away. Isolated for sure, but its happened.

    Medvedev: "A new idea for Ukraine from the office of the North Atlantic Alliance:
    Ukraine can join NATO if it gives up disputed territories.

    Well, what do you know? The idea is intriguing. The only question is that all their alleged territories are highly disputed. And in order for the Kiev authorities to enter the alliance, they would even have to give up Kiev itself, the capital of Ancient Rus.

    Well, they will have to move the capital to Lviv. If, of course, the Poles agree to leave Lemberg to the lovers of lard and coke."

    Ukrainian conductor at the international musical competition came out in a T-shirt with the inscription "Wagner Power".
    She meant not "Wagners", but a German composer, and still the musician was attacked with negative comments on Instagram. Her compatriots demand to imprison her for treason!
    P.S.: I would buy the shirt…

    Look like NATO just made their official peace concession

    They say NATO membership is possible with territorial concession to Russia

    So the failure of the counteroffensive has been proclaimed officially at the NATO level

    Kiev is already rejecting it off hand as they don't want to cede territories lost

    I think its good, the mood in general is that of despondency in the west, they are done with Ukraine

    Russia must retake Kharkov, Odessa, Nikolayev, Dnepropetrovsk

    And from there, Kiev must be invaded again, and the regime changed to a neutral one

    The west of Ukraine can also be neutral, but only with Russian management of the airspace

    The Ukrainian Crisis is reaching a visible conclusion, Russia just needs to make the appropriate moves now
