Circling back to Moskva sinking a moment: Just in case you thought that video showing the survivors was real - it wasn’t.

Turns out just another complete lie from Russian state media. Analysis by Radio Free Europe shows known dead/missing sailor in the formation:

  Our government has selected one administrative region on the border of Belarus NW of Kyiv to be the focus of our national reconstruction assistance effort. We have already sent assistance to restore electrical power,rebuild bridges and so forth along with demining/EOD personnel. I believe we should have long since sent peacekeepers. Even 1000 of our troops would free up 1000 Ukrainians to go east to fight. Obviously Article 5 would not protect them but I don’t think it necessary.

And a planned flyover by military jets including his 'Doomsday jet' - which would allow him to continue ruling Russia in the event of a nuclear blast - was also axed at the last minute which state media said was due to bad weather, but which rumours suggested could be due to fears of attacks.

The vehicle parade is also downsized from previous years, featuring almost a third fewer than in 2020 because Russia has committed - and lost - so many of its ground forces in Ukraine.

A nuke in Siberia -- we release a statement saying we're disappointed in the bluster the Russians feel a need to show.

A single nuke in Ukraine -- we respond with a conventional non-nuclear show of force against a painful Russian target -- either naval or infrastructure (say, maybe the Kerch bridge).

Nice fantasy, but that’s not how these camps work. That would be like saying, “Hitler’s such a dumbass! Bringing all those Jews and political prisoners into camps deep within his own borders! He’ll have a violent rebellion on his hands in no time!”

I predict it will go something like this:

“We’ve only liberated Russians who were being oppressed by Ukrainian nazis and returned them to the motherland.
And then, when nobody seems to be able to find any of the missing Ukrainians in the camps…
“They’ve all started new lives throughout Russia and are enjoying their new freedom”
And then, when nobody can find any of the missing Ukrainians living new lives in Russia…
“Camps? What camps? We never moved anybody!”

As most will soon know, Putin did not declare a national mobilization and the “doomsday plane” did not appear.  I guess after the parade we have three possibilities.
1)Putin is being constrained by forces within Russia to fight the war with existing forces.
2)Based on Twitter-posted call-up letters, the Russians may be trying a stealth mobilization hoping that no one will notice for some time.  This seems unlikely, but would at least allow them to avoid the international negative optics of announcing it.
3)Overt mobilization is being deferred until a pretext is found, most likely a false-flag attack on themselves.

Oh certainly, I wonder if the other three doomsday planes they have that went in for maintenance had other items missing.    There's probably a working mock up here in the US by now.

Czech company manufactures concrete 3D barriers for military personnel from Ukraine

A Czech technology company from the town of Žňár nad Sázavou is 3D printing concrete barriers that can help Ukrainian soldiers in battle. They are resistant to small arms, grenades, as well as anti-tank missiles and on-board machine guns. The company plans to send to Ukraine not only concrete barriers, but also 3D printers themselves, which will allow the military to build barriers closer to the battlefield. The technologies of this Czech company will be used in battle for the first time.

Printing one one-meter-high fence takes approximately 20 minutes. After printing, the concrete should dry, transportation is possible in a day. The printer prints barricades in a rounded shape, which better protects against bullets. The barriers have been tested at the ballistic centre and meet a number of NATO standards.

It works with some people.  Others not so much.

I would say that in January, my general feelings towards Russia were very slightly positive.  It didn’t take very many videos of the Russians de-nazifying old people by blowing them up with tanks and 30mm chain guns to destroy any positive disposition I might have had, whatever Russian propaganda says.

Particular attention is paid to hunters. They [the Russians] are looking for hunting weapons and carrying them off.
Cases have been recorded when the invaders carried out a "census" of household appliances in separate buildings: they recorded how many refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, microwave ovens, etc. were in the houses.

Yes it was! Russian methbillies were able to get on board and rob it blind for scrap.

Thieves have stolen electronic equipment from a Russian military aircraft known as a "doomsday plane" for its role in the country's nuclear arsenal, local media report.

Reports say unknown thieves broke into the Ilyushin Il-80 plane at an airfield in the southern region of Rostov.

It is unclear when the incident took place, but 39 units of equipment and five radio boards were taken.

The local government said an investigation was under way.

Military experts say the aircraft is one of four Il-80s designed to be used as airborne command posts for Russian officials, including the president, in the event of a nuclear conflict. Interfax news agency describes them as among Russia's most classified aircraft.

Further details have not been publicly disclosed about the equipment taken by the thieves.

Here's the Reuters article on the May Day Parade hack.

LONDON, May 9 (Reuters) - Russian satellite television menus were altered on Monday to show viewers in Moscow messages about the war in Ukraine: "You have blood on your hands", according to screenshots obtained by Reuters.

The photographs showed Moscow satellite television menus on Victory Day, when Russia celebrated the 77th anniversary of Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany, with every channel showing anti-war slogans.

"You have the blood of thousands of Ukrainians and hundreds of dead children on your hands," said one slogan.

"The TV and the authorities are lying. No to war."

The slogans appeared just before the Victory Day parade on Red Square at which President Vladimir Putin compared the war in Ukraine to the Soviet battle to defeat Adolf Hitler in World War Two.

It was not immediately clear how the slogans appeared. Interfax news agency said the slogans appeared on cable television too after they were hacked.

A Russian news website also showed anti-war material that was deeply critical of Putin. It was not immediately clear how the negative articles appeared.

They swiftly disappeared.

Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands of people, displaced millions more and raised fears of the most serious confrontation between Russia and the United States since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Putin says the "special military operation" in Ukraine is necessary because the United States was using Ukraine to threaten Russia and Moscow had to defend against the persecution of Russian-speaking people.

He casts the conflict as an inevitable confrontation with the United States, which he accuses of threatening Russia by meddling in its backyard and enlarging the NATO military alliance.

NATO and Ukraine deny they were a threat to Russia. Ukraine says it is fighting an imperial-style land grab and that Putin's claims of genocide are nonsense.
