    Excellently designed warhead on that strike on S300 . You can see the numerous fragments hitting the ground , in a large radius . The broken Trees are a witness to it's power .  The land occupied by foreign multinational corporations , sold illegally by coup government in a time of war , must be returned to Ukraine / Russia , by force .





    Or the Yanks may just dump him , or drop him from a plane ,  as they did to the Afghan collaborators , when they abandoned their Dogs in Kabul airport ! They did leave the Dogs , some Dog biscuits !

    Sikorski is a neocon maggot. Scum like him are a tragedy for Poland but Poles don't realize this.

    We do.
    At least some.
    This guy has been a clear CIA asset since the 90s.
    He was a merc in Afghanistan and Angola, masquerading as a "war correspondent".
    Before, he was probably shaped to be our agent.
    Official CV states that he left Poland in 1981 to "study English" in London.
    I will leave it open - who at the age of 18 was able to leave commie Poland, weeks before Marshal Law was established.
    Getting a passport back then was challenging.
    His career is fishy from the very beginning and smells of outside influence by a mile.
    Anne Applebaum as a wife including.

    A concentration of M901 launchers and AN/MPQ-53A radar of the Patriot PAC-1/2 SAM system was successfully hit by an operational-tactical quasi-ballistic missile 9M723-1 of the Iskander-M complex near Krasnoarmeisk. It is likely that it was the enemy SAM crew which has destroyed several of our Su-35S and Su-34s in the Donetsk area over the course of the year, that was put out of action.

    https://t.me/intelslava/55855

    Well, I will state the obvious here:

    A lot of these videos, destruction of Patriots, S-300, NASAMS, HIMARS etc.
    They are "old" videos from up 6 months ago. For example in the famous HIMARS video, the launcher is surrounded by yellow wheat fields, i.e. it was destroyed by summer.

    It is no secret that Russia, especially the MoD does not show or shows very little of what it records, from destruction of important systems to simple drones blowing up in the face of soldiers ...
    Do you think that there are not as many or more videos of the most disgusting characteristics, with Ukrainian soldiers cut in half, as the Ukrainians strive to show and spread to the four winds?
    Yes, there are, and many more.
    The MoD simply does not show anything, in the same way that they hardly communicate anything when bad things happen (like destruction of ships).

    Elections are near in Russia, and now all these films are coming out ...

    Russian planes have been operating for months as if Ukrainian air defence did not exist, so it is not difficult to imagine the chronological order of these events ...

    🇷🇺🇺🇦 In the Sumy region, intelligence officers discovered a concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants in a forest area in the village of Basovka. There they equipped trenches, dugouts and installed equipment for launching FPV drones. The position did not last long and was soon destroyed by Russian artillery.

    Iskander vs Patriot
    According to western MSM the Patriot shot down multiple Kinzhal missiles,
    so the Iskander should be no problem.  Rolling Eyes


    Well you got a proof ojn pictures: 2 Kinzhals intercepted with 2 Patriot launchers.  You cannot deny   lol1  lol1  lol1

    In the Sumy region

    ???!

    The front does not run through Sumy in the north of Ukraine near Kiev. There were Russian troops there early in 2022 but they pulled out later.

    Is this some sort of border engagement?

    By "our agent" it should be a Ukrainian nationalist agent.

    They were already ruling in Poland by the early 1980's.

    I don't think you can hide a 155mm shell in a body cavity. .....I could be wrong 🤣  I don't think they can stop everything. But large items like arty and vehicles are not easy to hide, and blowing up major bridges makes it much harder to move the heavy stuff. You keep punching holes in highways on a daily basis and it will hurt them big time. Cut of the food, if they want to move food allow them to move it through Belarus after inspection. Civvies and diplomats also move though Belarus.

    UN, March 9. /TASS/. Russia has requested a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine for March 22, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky said.

    "It would have been nice if NATO’s representatives in the [UN] Security Council explained to us the alliance's devious logic," Polyansky said speaking at the UN Security Council’s session. "Its leaders initially told us that NATO should expand into Ukraine because Russia would never attack a NATO member state. However, we hear today that Russia cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine, because after that it will move further and attack NATO."

    "Is there any common sense in your statements, any consistency? However, it is expressively displayed in the way you are making the image of Russia as of an enemy and aggressor, avoiding the facts that your aggression against Russia with Ukraine’s involvement started at least ten years ago," he continued.

    "We will discuss in detail all these moments, which are unpleasant for our Western colleagues, at the requested by us separate meeting of the [UN] Security Council on March 22," Polyansky added.

    The Russian diplomat pointed out that French Permanent Representative to the UN Nicolas de Riviere did not say anything during his speech at the session about the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron to send troops of Western countries to Ukraine.

    Polyansky added that Robert Wood, deputy US envoy to the United Nations, was "modest and said nothing" about the network of secret bases that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) set up on Ukrainian territory over the past eight years.

    "It is also a pity that we do not hear the usually very active German envoy among those, who requested to address today's meeting," the Russian diplomat noted. "It would have been interesting to hear commentaries from him regarding the conversation leaked to the media by senior German military officials, who discussed how to help the Ukrainians destroy the Crimean Bridge and deliver more strikes deeper into the territory of Russia."

    On March 1, RT TV editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said that on the day when German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed that NATO was not and would not be involved in the Ukrainian conflict, high-ranking German army officers were discussing the possibility of attacking the Crimean bridge without repercussions for the German authorities.

    Simonyan referred to the existence of an authentic audio recording and later published a transcript of the conversation. The officers discussed the extent to which Taurus missiles could destroy the Crimean Bridge and also the details of preparations for such an attack.

    The German Defense Ministry confirmed later that the conversation among top-ranking Bundeswehr (armed forces) officers had been intercepted. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged to sort things out promptly.

    On March 4, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned German Ambassador to Moscow Alexander Lambsdorff to deliver a formal demarche and demand clarifications over the leaked conversation.


    1. Russia's election is near on the 15-17th this March, which will further grant whoever the elected president is(obviously Putin) to set the next phase of the current operation.
    2.Shoigu announced the war will end in 2025, so some kind of big happenings have to happen atleast in 2024 to whatever their current objective is.
    3.Supposedly the Russians are close to breaking the final line of defense in which Wagner, LDR and DPR troops did all the heavy lifting while taking some operational breaks. As many have said once they are out of the urban areas of Donetsk land grab would be easy so getting some kind of offensive ready will help that momentum.
    4. From this news source Russia is announcing a UN security council meeting for re-assurance if any of them are going to play heroes for Ukraine. Denying the meeting will give Russia a reason to target those countries if they set foot in Ukraine, or they accept the meeting accepting Russia's request that re-assurance is made they won't set foot in Ukraine and give them a warning. Meaning if the warning was denied it would sort of be a I told you so as missiles fly into their country.

    The 5th ingredient needed for a major offensive recipe is somewhere this March or after March 22(when the UN security council meeting takes place) is if the west reports on the news that there is a major movement of troops and military equipment taking place close to the front lines.

    Good article by Scott Ritter. It gives me hope that a hard-headed ex-USMC weapons inspector (with a reputation in Iraq for being an unswerving sniffer dog that left no stone unturned) can see the light and become a passionate Russophile while remaining a patriotic American. If he can do it, maybe, just maybe, the rest of the Americans and their Eurotrash cock-holsters can ultimately redeem themselves? dunno

    Guys, did you realize how successful this attack was?
    It is the first time showing MIM-104 Patriot systems destroyed with hard evidence in SMO.
    It is the first time four MIM-104 Patriot launchers destroyed at the same time.
    An MIM-104 Patriot line battery which costs "About US$1.09 billion (FY 2022)" includes 6 launchers, which means almost one line battery was annihilated.
    More important MIM-104 Patriot systems are actually operated by US military personnels in Ukraine just like Himars, 3 of which were totally destroyed during  the past 3 days with hard evidence, this also means that multiple US military personnels were killed in this  Iskander vs Patriot duel...

    Why is he so upset, the patriots "intercepted" the missiles. Now how the missiles in question created catastrophic systems and structural failure is a matter he may want to investigate, perhaps all weapons shipments need to stop until NATO wonder waffles' air defense operations cease being a one off thing. I mean we have all sorts of pics of M1A1s intercepting drones, same for challengers, leopards, bradleys, storm shadow launchers etc and while they do intercept Russian aviation, rocket, and drone assetts, they don't seem to be able to engage further targets.

    @Garry, for god's sake, bring back the citation button.

    Being an athiest that is not really the most effective button to push, but I think in future unless there is widespread abuse of the button (in which case the button goes and does not come back) I will punish the offenders rather than everyone.

    The German Defense Ministry confirmed later that the conversation among top-ranking Bundeswehr (armed forces) officers had been intercepted. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged to sort things out promptly.

    The problem is that the Germans are upset about the leak and that will be what they are investigating, ignoring the content of the leak and that this is the thing that should be investigated but wont be.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/26512849/national-guard-helicopter-crash-la-grulla-texas-tx/


    The Helicopter " crash , " shows no indication of a fire , as you would expect . It looks like it was dropped from low altitude from another Helicopter . The faces of the deceased yank , seem to be pasted on the uniforms ( different skin tone and photo low definition compared to body ) . How many Helicopter crashes recently ? Sweden also suffering Helicopter crashes , killing servicemen . How many personnel to each patriot system ? Their relatives do know ! Illegal war !

    Rolling Eyes



    Edit : see soil around alleged Helicopter crash is undisturbed , where rotors should have disturbed the soil . See also that some rotors are broken downwards , not consistent with hitting the ground . Notice the photos of dead troopers , showing poor merging and fuzziness around the neck area !
