I think the USA should have at least 150,000 troops spread across Poland, Lithuania, Lativia and Estonia and Finland, none of them bunched together.
The very best air defenses in place and air support waiting in Europe. V. Putin thinks we aren't up to the task. He should understand without any doubt, we will set him personally on fire should he continue this outrage. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLpXfg0X0AAFZut?format=jpg&name=900x900 In two months, Ukraine lost five Abrams tanks, three more received moderate damage, writes The New York Times According to Oryx osinters, since the beginning of the war, Ukraine has lost 796 tanks, including 140 transferred by NATO countries. The Russians lost more than 2,900 tanks, according to Oryx. https://t.me/uniannet/131687 Yes. There is no such thing as an invincible tank, and the Abrams will have it's point of obsolescence just like all tanks do. That time has not quite arrived yet, and when it does, there will be new tanks with different designs to accommodate the new threats, just as the original M1 was a response to the emerging threats of the 1970's (ATGMs, Heat/Sabo ammo, Attack Helicopters, etc). Statistically, the Abrams and Leopard (as well as the western IFVs) designs are doing much better in Ukraine than anything else. Just like the only way to avoid crashing a stock car is to not race it, the only way to avoid getting a certain percentage of your tanks destroyed is to not send them into combat. Now, the T72s/T90s (and most of the Soviet- and Russian designed stuff) on the other hand.....

needs to pick one of the identified targets and select it with a button on the remote control. The neural network is on a Ukrainian-made microcomputer measuring 30x30. That is, it is compactly mounted in a drone. In addition, the drone you see in the tests is assembled from Ukrainian parts: flight controller, engine regulator, video transmitter, camera, microcomputer, radio receiver (ELRS). In the near future, we will have a lot of work to increase the combat potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But for this we will continue to need your support. In future - even more interesting developments! Sim |

Russian bot account
Russia is actively modernizing strike weapons and increasing production. Strives to maximize hit accuracy. According to available data, the enterprise for the production of UAVs of the "Shahed" type, which are actively used to carry out strikes throughout Ukraine, is carrying out a deep modernization of these attack kamikaze drones. It has been established that the warhead of the "Shahed" type UAV has been increased to 90 kg. In addition, high-explosive fragmentation incendiary and thermobaric warheads are being developed In particular, the production of 3 thousand thermobaric warheads, 5 thousand high-explosive fragmentation incendiary warheads, 30 test and 1 thousand high-explosive fragmentation incendiary warheads weighing 90 kg has now been agreed upon for the needs of the Alabuga enterprise. Reference: as of 03/13/2024, 2 UAVs of the "Shahed" type with an installed 90-kg warhead and 8 UAVs with a thermobaric warhead were used to strike Ukrainian targets. Also, the use of GSM signal trackers with a SIM card of Kyivstar PJSC in the production of UAVs was revealed, which allows real-time data to be obtained on the location of the UAV, whether the UAV hit the target or was shot down. Allows you to determine “zones of suppression and substitution” of GPS signals, obtain photo data and change the flight mission, by transmitting information in encrypted form through the network/servers of the specified mobile operator in “Telegram”. For reference: Alabuga employees are considering the issue of purchasing 10 thousand trackers and additional equipment for them by the end of 2024. In addition, the option of equipping the "Shahed" UAV with communications equipment (Russian and Chinese production, including "Set-1 Sector", which is used in the "Supercam" UAV from a ground control station and using drones at the tactical level as a means of destroying weapons and military equipment) is being considered , o/s SOU.

   OSINT intelligence confirms that the Kommuna ship in Sevastopol is damaged, reports the Crimean Wind monitoring group. But it was not located in Sukharnaya Bay, but at berth No. 14, as shown in the photo. The fire may have been caused by fragments after a rocket was shot down over the bay. https://t.me/Crimeanwind/58086 In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the Ukrainian Armed Forces damaged one of the oldest Russian warships - the Navy Today, April 21, the Russian rescue ship Kommuna was damaged in the port of temporarily occupied Sevastopol. This was confirmed by the spokesman of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro Pletenchuk "Today, in Crimea, the Ukrainian Navy took another ship from the composition of the Russian Navy "Komuna". The nature of the damage is being verified. But the ship is clearly not capable of carrying out the task now," he wrote on Facebook. A spokesman for the Navy emphasized that similar situations with Russian ships will be repeated until the Russians run out of ships or they withdraw from Crimea. The ship "Commune" was at the pier in occupied Sevastopol. It will be recalled that the Russian mass media and Telegram channels reported on the explosions in Sevastopol in the morning of April 21. Later, the occupiers announced a missile attack on the ship. There were also reports of a fire on the ship.

Well, well, well. The accuser becomes the accused yet again.
The Cheka-OGPU became aware of a whole series of cases where weapons appeared on the black market, directly from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense. Moreover, this is often a weapon of great destructive power. Thus, arms sellers were detained who sold an AGS-17 “Plamya” automatic grenade launcher and 144 VOG-17M rounds to a “conditional buyer” (his role was played by an undercover policeman) in Ingushetia. Moreover, the product had a record bargain price - only 270 thousand rubles. They didn’t immediately arrest the “merchants of death”; they tried to track down their suppliers. It is worth noting that, according to the Cheka-OGPU, at this stage the operatives’ hands are strictly “tied.” As a result, three sellers were captured in Essentuki: 34-year-old Ruslan Kostoev, 51-year-old Khasan Tsechoev and 41-year-old Magomed Esmurziev. And in Sevastopol, a pensioner discovered in the Afghans park, located near house 29 on Lenin Street, a cache of weapons (machine guns, cartridges, fuses), which, as it turned out (by the number of one machine gun) was on the balance sheet of the 3rd motorized rifle Vistula Red Banner division of the Western Military District of the Russian Armed Forces. According to a source from the Cheka-OGPU, the ownerless arsenal was discovered on March 17, but they tried to hide the incident with the discovery since the AK assault rifle was immediately correlated by number with the active army. https://t.me/vchkogpu/47699 |

Washington threatened sanctions to Beijing for supplying technology to Russia
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will warn China that Washington is ready to impose sanctions against China if Beijing does not refuse to supply dual-use technologies to Russia, writes the Financial Times. Blinken will visit China from April 24 to 26. As the source told the publication, the United States and its allies are becoming increasingly impatient with Beijing’s refusal to stop providing Moscow with everything from chips to cruise missile engines. Blinken is expected to raise the issue with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. At the same time, the US Secretary of State does not plan to disclose what measures Washington will take. According to sources, the United States is considering the possibility of imposing sanctions against Chinese financial institutions. The US message will be the clearest warning Washington has ever conveyed personally to Chinese officials. According to Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, China is undermining European security by supplying Russia with dual-use technologies while trying to develop close economic and political ties with Europe. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/21636 Putin stopped leaving the Kremlin and residences after the elections Russian President Vladimir Putin returned to the lifestyle he led before the start of the election campaign - he stopped leaving the Kremlin and his residences, the Agency noted, having analyzed the schedule of the head of state. Over the past two weeks, Putin has not held a single visiting event, and from the start of the election campaign until April 20, the Kremlin reported 100 visiting events with the participation of the president. From February 17 to March 17, Putin attended 31 events outside the Kremlin and residences. In the last week before the elections, the president remained in the Kremlin or Novo-Ogaryovo. According to the analysis, after the elections the number of trips decreased tenfold. In the period from March 17 to April 17, the Kremlin announced only 10 off-site events, one of which was a concert on the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea on Red Square. Over the entire period, the president left the Moscow region only once - on March 27, he visited Torzhok. Over the past two weeks, Putin has been participating in meetings via video link. Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that the head of state would not travel to flood-affected regions. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/21639 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: Well, well, well. The accuser becomes the accused yet again. The Cheka-OGPU became aware of a whole series of cases where weapons appeared on the black market, directly from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense. Moreover, this is often a weapon of great destructive power. Thus, arms sellers were detained who sold an AGS-17 “Plamya” automatic grenade launcher and 144 VOG-17M rounds to a “conditional buyer” (his role was played by an undercover policeman) in Ingushetia. Moreover, the product had a record bargain price - only 270 thousand rubles. They didn’t immediately arrest the “merchants of death”; they tried to track down their suppliers. It is worth noting that, according to the Cheka-OGPU, at this stage the operatives’ hands are strictly “tied.” As a result, three sellers were captured in Essentuki: 34-year-old Ruslan Kostoev, 51-year-old Khasan Tsechoev and 41-year-old Magomed Esmurziev. And in Sevastopol, a pensioner discovered in the Afghans park, located near house 29 on Lenin Street, a cache of weapons (machine guns, cartridges, fuses), which, as it turned out (by the number of one machine gun) was on the balance sheet of the 3rd motorized rifle Vistula Red Banner division of the Western Military District of the Russian Armed Forces. According to a source from the Cheka-OGPU, the ownerless arsenal was discovered on March 17, but they tried to hide the incident with the discovery since the AK assault rifle was immediately correlated by number with the active army. https://t.me/vchkogpu/47699 Shit! I was just about to make an offer on an AGS17 and 144 rounds on the EE...probably just a coincidence? |
