    Russians design the ARMATA, but they field this CHEREPAKHA.

    This is the BREM model that goes with the vehicles they are currently using with the same anti drone anti missile armour they are putting on their other vehicles.

    The Armata based BREM based vehicle is probably not vastly better armoured than their T-90 based vehicles... especially from the sides and rear.

    If the 70 ton Abrams is not safe on the battlefield there then the T-14 is not going to drive around like it owns the place either.

    The biggest advantage of Armata is a unified vehicle type for the entire division using standard engines and transmissions and wheels and tracks and modular armour and systems.

    An Armata division wont need to carry wheels for 10 different types of vehicles and tracks for 10 different vehicle types and spare parts for 10 different engines or schematics for 10 different transmissions and differentials etc etc. So its logistic tail will be shorter and simpler and more efficient.

    Also the vehicles will be better protected so it will be much harder to do what the Chechens did and pick off the BMPs and BTRS and ambush the heavy vehicles from angles they can't fire at with their main guns like from basements and 3rd and above story buildings.

    This is bullshit. But it would be based if it was true anyway .... in my opinion

    Fantastic... still keen to feed their youth and future into the meat grinder because those drunk untrained Russian conscripts are there for the taking... just bowl up and shoot 100 like in the Hollywood movies and go home a hero with your chest covered in ribbons... except those Russians are highly skilled professionals and you get to go home and have dirt put on your chest... they can't spare the wood for coffins now.

    Thanks for the laugh. Of course, there is some truth in this post. Bombed out charred equipment does tend to look a bit different than when you first get it.

    The real joke is that despite making about 3,000 of their own tanks a year they have time to restore these destroyed enemy vehicles to looking brand new probably faster than western companies appear to be capable of doing.

    Ukrainians are God’s chosen people – Zelensky
    Amid nationwide persecution of Orthodox Christians, the Ukrainian president claimed that God is his nation’s “ally”


    Zelensky released a video address from Kiev’s Saint Sophia Cathedral, in which he accused Russia of “breaking all the commandments.” “The world sees it, God knows it,” he said. “And we believe God has a chevron with the Ukrainian flag on his shoulder. So, with such an ally, life will definitely win over death.”

    Zelensky’s appeal to Christians came as Ukraine’s parliament examines legislation that would close down the country’s largest Christian church, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).

    Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky cannot enlist God in Kiev’s fight against Moscow, the Russian Orthodox Church has said, rebuking a statement Zelensky made during his Easter Sunday speech. In a video address, Zelensky described God as “an ally” of Ukraine who “has a chevron with the Ukrainian flag on his shoulder.”

    “The Lord is not a resident of Kiev Region for Zelensky to mobilize him and put him in the Ukrainian army. His statements don’t merit any attention,” Vakhtang Kipshidze, the head of the Russian church’s public relations department, told news outlet news.ru. Kipshidze blasted the Ukrainian leader as “a non-believer” who “claims that he can decide for God whose ally he is.”

    Our founding fathers rebelled for less. 
    Actually they rebelled because the King didn´t want to give them the money to move further west and kill more "Indians".

    Its becoming a family 
    There ist room for improvement.
    Adding a few thousand ERA packs to the outer shell would be great.
    Also there are newer mine rollers in service.
    Maybe add a remote controlled weapons mount on top of the structure.

    How about this with a hovercraft skirt and blowers so it can also reduce ground pressure in deep mud conditions

    ⚡ On behalf of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in order to increase the readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces to carry out combat missions, the General Staff has begun preparations for holding an exercise in the near future with missile formations of the Southern Military District with the involvement of aviation, as well as the forces of the Navy.

    During the exercise, a set of activities will be carried out to practice the preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear weapons.

    The exercise is aimed at maintaining the readiness of personnel and equipment of units for the combat use of non-strategic nuclear weapons to respond and in order to unconditionally ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Russian state in response to provocative statements and threats of individual Western officials against the Russian Federation.

    The moment an unmanned boat was destroyed by fire from a Ka-29 MA helicopter of the Russian Navy.

    It is reported that this boat was equipped with an aircraft heat-seeking missile (like the R-73 or R-60) for use as a floating anti-aircraft weapon.

    The Russian Ministry of Defense announces the liquidation of five unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of the northwestern coast of the Crimean Peninsula.

    I admit, I am Catholic (don't blame me for that schism thing, it happened 1030 years before I got here, lol) but since when does the secular leader of a country stand up behind the altar, especially if he isn't a Christian, and go on a national socialist diatribe? Again, I am Catholic, but surely such aberrant self glorifying behavior -on the holiest day of the liturgical calendar (a most blessed Pascha to all Eastern Orthodox here, Христос Воскрес, Воистину Воскрес) no less - would be considered blasphemous.

    Also, when your nazi regime is teetering on the brink, should one be making such blasphemous statements? I mean that cannot be good for your country.

    As much as I fear Nuclear war, the hotheads in the Amerikkkan Reich believe a nuclear war is winnable and that Putin would only use nukes in Europe.  If Putin wants to make the threat, it must he all inclusive.  Remember the North Korean dream propaganda bit where the nuke hit in the USA? Putin should make similar threats and leak that in the event of direct NATO involvement (boots on the ground) American cities and decision making centers are legitimate military targets).  Make sure that the Americab public understands very clearly that Joe the Bidet's war of unprovoked aggression could lead to our inceneration.

    Russia issues military ultimatum to UK, 05.06.2024.

    Moscow has threatened retaliation for any attacks with British weapons.

    Moscow will retaliate against British targets in Ukraine or elsewhere if Kiev uses UK-provided missiles to strike Russian territory, the Foreign Ministry told London’s ambassador on Monday.

    Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the ministry following remarks by British Foreign Secretary David Cameron to Reuters that Ukraine has the right to use long-range missiles sent by the UK to strike deep inside Russia.

    ”Casey was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement following the meeting.

    The US and its allies had previously qualified their deliveries of long-range weapons to Kiev by saying they could only be used on territories that Ukraine claims as its own – Crimea, the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions.

    According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Cameron’s statements to the contrary “de facto recognized his country as a party to the conflict.”

    Russia understands Cameron’s comments as “evidence of a serious escalation and confirmation of London’s increasing involvement in military operations on the side of Kiev,” the ministry added.

    Casey was urged to “think about the inevitable catastrophic consequences of such hostile steps from London and to immediately refute in the most decisive and unequivocal manner the bellicose provocative statements of the head of the Foreign Office.”

    Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry announced an exercise to test the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. President Vladimir Putin ordered the drills after “provocative statements and threats” by Western officials, the military said.

    Moscow hopes the drills will “cool down the ‘hot heads’ in Western capitals and help them understand the possible catastrophic consequences of the strategic risks they generate,” as well as “keep them from both assisting the Kiev regime in its terrorist actions and being drawn into a direct armed confrontation with Russia,” the Foreign Ministry said in a follow-up statement.

    French Ambassador Pierre Levy was also summoned to the Foreign Ministry. Moscow has not yet disclosed the details of the meeting.

    and that sending US troops to Ukraine means that his home district is a valid target for nuclear fueled extinction. In 30 minutes, he will have eradicated all crime, poverty, healthcare, education, and all other issues found in his home district.

    I can only hope it's true. The only way this war ends is either to the last Ukrainian or when 1000's of NATO troops are being shipped home in body bags every week. I much prefer the latter.

    Not much bang if it were indeed 10k shells and 36 missiles.

    10 thousand shells and 22 Storm Shadow missiles destroyed: Russia launched a precise strike on the enemy

    On the night of May 2, Russian missiles struck Novaya Poshta warehouses in Odessa, resulting in a powerful secondary detonation. According to Kyiv, 904 parcels of Ukrainian citizens were stored in the destroyed warehouses, but it is no secret that the management of Nova Poshta has long been cooperating with the Ukrainian defense department, helping to provide cargo transportation for the Ukrainian army.

    After the impact, sounds of secondary detonation were heard at the fire site all night, and the fire column rose to a height of several tens of meters. Many photographs posted by Odessa residents from the scene show that even after a while, a fire is smoldering under a layer of ash. According to unconfirmed information from local sources, the warehouse at the time of the strike contained large stocks of military equipment, including shortwave radios and other military equipment.

    According to Russian media, more than 10 thousand 155 mm shells, 22 Storm Shadow missiles, 14 SCALP missiles, 4 CV 90 armored vehicles and spare parts for another 20 such armored vehicles were destroyed. However, we are hardly talking about such a large arsenal, since otherwise not just a crater, but a giant crater would have formed in place.

    However, Avia.pro sources report that military cargo has just arrived at the destroyed warehouses by sea, which has not yet been distributed to destinations; it was part of the long-awaited military assistance from Western partners.
    Civilian objects for military purposes

    Journalists from the Ukrainian Radio NV released a video in which they confirmed that there were Storm Shadow missiles in the Nova Poshta building. However, in this case, they are concerned about the question of “who leaked the information.”

    “The reason is that in recent months the Russian Armed Forces have begun to accurately identify and hit the most expensive warehouses with “toys”, the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, control centers, the collection of security elites, etc. Some of the highest Ukrainian offices began to massively leak Russians the most important and sometimes secret information", - the Ukrainian channel “Legitimny” is sure.

    The authors of the pro-Russian telegram channel "Resident" have no doubt that information about the important cargo that arrived at the warehouses of Nova Poshta was passed on to the Russian Armed Forces by SBU officers, among whom there are many who work for Moscow.

    “Legitimate” admits that there are no purely civilian objects left in Ukraine. Any warehouse, store, or garage can be used as an ammunition depot, which poses a great risk to the civilian population.

    The Russian military continues to carry out precision strikes on military targets on the territory of Ukraine, including warehouses with ammunition and military equipment. These strikes cause serious damage to the Ukrainian army and contribute to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, Kyiv continues to accuse Russia of targeting civilian infrastructure, despite the fact that many of these objects have long ceased to be purely civilian.

    Is it good or bad , that Ukrs shipping military supplies to Odessa port ? What's wrong with Road and Rail by Polish border ? Traffic Jam ? Maybe they are doing both ? Still the Ships remain unmolested and can offload tons of gear and hide in port area ! Surely easier to stop and inspect the Ships . Confiscate cargo if military supplies , before they land at port . Only speedboats are needed to do this .

    A lot being said about NATO military advisors and technicians in Ukraine . French Artillery experts with 100 km range rounds  ! And a barrel life of five rounds ! F16 bases with technicians in Ukraine , fodder for BM's . All arriving to give a much needed morale boost . Doubt very much all these to be of any substance , mostly propaganda .

    Saw marine drones being taken out by helicopters . Very impressive . Nuclear exercises are needed , but unfortunately the public are suitably distracted in the West . Nobody listens to real news . And the oligarchs have their own nuclear fallout shelters . Atmospheric tests on TV are the only way to wake the public , and exert any political pressure .
