https://nypost.com/2022/03/11/ukrainian-military-warns-ghost-of-kyiv-is-coming-for-russias-soul/ Ukraine’s armed forces warned Russia Friday that the possibly mythical fighter pilot dubbed the Ghost of Kyiv is “coming for your soul.” The country’s general staff posted a photo on its Facebook page showing the purported pilot wearing a black visor and oxygen mask in the cockpit of his MiG-29 fighter jet. “‘Hello, Russian villain, I’m coming for your soul!’ – the Ghost of Kyiv,” the threatening post said. The pilot in the photo can be seen pointing out the missiles on his Soviet-designed jet. Rumors about the Ghost of Kyiv have gone viral on social media almost from the moment the Russian invasion began on Feb. 24. One story claimed the Ghost had supposedly downed as many as six Russian planes on the first day of combat. Ukrainian officials have not confirmed whether the Ghost is real — or just an urban legend. Regardless, the pilot has become a folk hero amid the bloodshed and the term has been adopted to refer to the entire Ukrainian air force. The Ghost threat from the armed forces came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky begged NATO and its allies once again to enforce a no-fly zone amid the constant Russian bombing attacks. US lawmakers warned earlier this week that any such move would put American forces in direct contact with Russian troops and potentially instigate World War III. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GTLandser: Call me picky, but if I have a choice between one ATGM with 1500m range and another with ~4000m range, I want every inch of that extra stand-off distance between me and the enemy tank. A tank can shoot me, hose down the area with coax, sic some of his BMP buddies on me, or just pick up a radio and call for arty. If he was feeling really sporty and survived after my shot, he could probably smush me by driving over in 10-15 minutes or less. I don't think a crappy Russian tank has to estimate any holdover with his gunner's sight at that range, that's just a lay on target kind thing. I know Russian tank's have not been performing well lately, but 1500-2500m of extra distance between me and him sounds nice. 😬 One of the things that always stuck with me from my time as a lowly Training Charlie G ambushes against tanks was eye-opening. I agree 100% with your sentiment of wanting as much range as possible on an AT system. |

Ramzan Kadyrov, the strongman leader of Chechnya, plotted to kidnap children from an orphanage near Kyiv, an adviser to Ukraine's interior ministry has claimed. Anton Gerashchenko shared a clip on Telegram on Monday that he said shows a video of Kadyrov's special forces discussing a failed plan to abduct the children. The clip appeared as reports circulated that Kadyrov was with Russian forces in Ukraine. It was not immediately clear who recorded the footage, nor why it was leaked.

Found a reference to a report by the Center for Army Lessons Learned that said survey results showed that Marines with the 25mm reported being unable to kill MBTs while Soldiers reported using the 25mm against MBTs with success. CALL said that the former used tungsten and the latter DU. So there’s the difference right there. |

Rostas was heard inquiring whether Russia was interested in "supporting Slovak people or media who'd be informing readers". Hlavne spravy and Zem a vek did not respond to BIRN's request for comment. It remains unclear whether the likes of Palcev or Rostas live off financial support from Moscow. "This requires direct evidence, and that's very hard to come by," information security expert Tomas Krissak explains. "But if intelligence services were to find out that they had above-standard relationships with Russia or its embassy and that they were relaying Russian propaganda in Slovakia as Russian citizens, then the answer is clear they are foreign agents." - In Czechia, an international edition of Sputnik has been airing conspiracy theories of the preposterous sort, for example, accusing Ukraine of developing a special serum that makes its soldiers walking zombies which cannot be killed even when shot in the head.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SilverBearX: The realization that famine is a real possibility without a Ukraine wheat harvest this year. Some of the grain importers at the UN seem to have shifted to putting pressure on Ukraine to capitulate to Russia. PARIS/HAMBURG (Reuters) - Russia may suspend exports of wheat, barley, maize (corn) and rye starting from Tuesday until June 30, the Interfax news agency reported on Monday, citing the agriculture ministry. Russia is the world's largest wheat exporter with Egypt and Turkey among the main buyers. It competes mainly with the European Union and Ukraine. "The agriculture ministry and the trade ministry have prepared a draft government decree that would introduce a temporary ban on exports of the main grains from Russia from March 15 to June 30," Interfax quoted the agriculture ministry as saying.... Russian wheat exports are down by 45% since the start of the current July-June marketing season because of a smaller crop and grain export taxes as well as export quotas which Moscow has been using since 2021 as part of measures to stabilise domestic food inflation. A key factor will be whether Russia will allow previous sales to be exported, traders said. "This could be disastrous news for importers like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Algeria who have booked large volumes of Russian wheat. The Asian importers would also be hit," one trader said. Last week, the economy ministry said that Russia would suspend grain exports to neighbouring ex-Soviet countries until the end of August to further strengthen its food security. |

In that BTR-4 video, they lit up a tank right before they engaged the BMP + dismounts. No idea how much damage they did, but they strafed it good. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DeuceGoon: I watched that entire thing. Absolute horseshit, she makes claims about the 2016 election being rigged by Russians and refuses to criticize Biden for anything. Oh, and that guy she mentioned working with about halfway through? You can tell that she probably did the nasty with him. That particular interview came with a price. You could see it in her eyes. Dirty. Just dirty enough for the average Arfcommer. Yep. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mal_means_bad: PARIS/HAMBURG (Reuters) - Russia may suspend exports of wheat, barley, maize (corn) and rye starting from Tuesday until June 30, the Interfax news agency reported on Monday, citing the agriculture ministry. Russia is the world's largest wheat exporter with Egypt and Turkey among the main buyers. It competes mainly with the European Union and Ukraine. "The agriculture ministry and the trade ministry have prepared a draft government decree that would introduce a temporary ban on exports of the main grains from Russia from March 15 to June 30," Interfax quoted the agriculture ministry as saying.... Russian wheat exports are down by 45% since the start of the current July-June marketing season because of a smaller crop and grain export taxes as well as export quotas which Moscow has been using since 2021 as part of measures to stabilise domestic food inflation. A key factor will be whether Russia will allow previous sales to be exported, traders said. "This could be disastrous news for importers like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Algeria who have booked large volumes of Russian wheat. The Asian importers would also be hit," one trader said. Last week, the economy ministry said that Russia would suspend grain exports to neighbouring ex-Soviet countries until the end of August to further strengthen its food security.
