1/26 update - trailer from them being on the front lines is out. Full video I imagine will be out soon
 Failed To Load Title So Forward Observations is doing some Q&A on what going down in Ukraine. If you’re not familiar these dudes are like a news agency that literally have people all over the world plugging info and they also on the ground in lots of war zones around the world. They do a lot and raise a lot of money for not only FPC but green beret foundation and more. Anyway I’ll throw up some screen shots. Really interesting stuff here.

How can we support Ukrainians on the ground? If I pay enough can I get photos of Russians they kill? Asking for a friend.

It's not our problem.
Tired of funding other countries that refuse to defend themselves. Don't want invaded? Spend your godamned money on a military already. |

Not sure that Ukraine hasn't been spending a lot on their defense. I think the problem has been finding people willing to sell in quantity at the risk of pissing of Vlad. |

watched some videos in the past of the fighting. watched some recently about new troops training. Were kind of a militia patrol or something like that. A stopgap between the army and partisans or a hybrid of them. Most said they purchased their own guns to fight.

I’ve seen the video that was screen grabbed from and I’m pretty sure they are using Schmidt bender PM2. They had all kinds of sensors and uav also. Not your typical dragonov with 8x or whatever they normally use.

Barry kind of made it happen down part of this path. He went there and talked them into destroying a lot of their stockpiles of soviet arms, with the promise the US would protect them. Before he was president. Dumbfuckers listened to him. |

Trying to understand the casualty situation. Are these small unit incursions or shooting each other over the demarcation zone? Something else maybe.

It seems like we’re not getting the full story about what’s actually going on so having first hand info like this is pretty wild and telling. Following closely to the info I can get. Would like to see more of their gear. Especially since much is self provided. What kind of pay are they getting. I know it’s pretty meager overall. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Heard they were avoiding German airspace. Why would they do that? To get the gear there RFN? Read it could take up to 5 days for it to be approved. Or they think germania would tell them to fuckoff. If they weren't willing to wait they obviously think things might pop off in the next couple of days Or whatever |
