Mariupol
About 70 bodies were found on the territory of the former Oktyabr plant - people were locked up by the wreckage of the building after the shelling. The bodies of the victims were packed in plastic bags and taken for burial in a mass grave in the village of Staryi Krym. No identification was performed.

I've been pretty disgusted with the "I only back the winning team" mentality from the beginning. Back in February I saw a number of people come out against Ukraine because "they have no chance against Russia." Then, when Russia started doing poorly, those same people suddenly came out on Ukraine's side. Nothing had changed as far as their political or philosophical beliefs; the only thing that changed was the odds of Ukraine winning. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Wolfy42: Part of the reason they are using T62s is due to its 115mm gun which is more suited for bunker busting and infantry support then the 125mm due to ammo choice. Otherwise the T62 is an obsolete death trap. Any decent modern IFV would be able to take it out. Could be, the Syrians preferred them over the T-72s. But I'm thinking they're more for patrolling occupied territory and displacing newer tanks to be forward deployed. There's a lot of occupied territory, so it makes sense to deploy your old equipment and older reserve tankers to patrol dirt roads far from the front lines. The T-62s would just be javelin fodder on the front lines, but could be otherwise useful for infantry support. Time will tell. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jack67: “CW” is that the drones were just surveillance and small coastal defense boats, 30’ to 40’ things. These are relatively mature systems that have been developed. But no real OSINT on what has actually been sent, or if. The navy has a lot of different USV and UUV projects at various stages. In fact, they just shut down a large UUV project - only one prototype built I think. The point is, lots of things possible, and nothing really known yet. In other naval news: IRAN JUST GOT SOME SKIN IN THE GAME. A little while ago Greece stopped a Russian tanker under the sanctions. It turned out, it was smuggling contraband Iranian oil. I can just hear Hannibal Smith saying, “I love it when a plan comes toghether!” ;). And in retaliation, today the Islamofascists of Iran hijacked two Greek tankers in international waters in the Persian Gulf. https://gcaptain.com/iran-seizes-two-greek-tankers-after-u-s-confiscates-oil-cargo/ So the Greek shipping industry basically runs Greece, and Greece effectively killed the EU embargo proposed for Russian oil. Greeks own more than a quarter of the world’s oil tankers by capacity, and they are currently shipping Russian oil around to third countries. But the Greek Gov can't have Russians shipping Iranian oil around, because that would violate the EU sanctions. So Iran seizes two Greek ships which were probably shipping Russian oil. Much double-standard, very WTF. |

Reports coming in on Reddit and Telegram channels that Russians are having a serious drone shortage recently. They are crowdfunding to help send more drones to Russia and LPR/DPR forces, these are the easily jammable commercial quad copter type.
https://www.foxnews.com/world/russia-drone-shortage-reconnaissance-strategy-uk https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/russia-sanctions-mod-latest-update-ukraine-war-uav-shortage-b1001498.html Sanctions on the Russian economy are helping to cause “shortages” of vital reconaissance equipment, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said. In its latest update, the MoD said the Russian military is attempting to implement a ‘Reconaissance Strike’ strategy, whereby unmanned aerial vehicles are used to identify enemy targets to be hit by jets or artillery fire. However, the wave of sanctions implemented by the West and other allies are helping to cause “shortages” of the equipment, the ministry said. “Russia is likely experiencing a shortage of appropriate reconnaissance UAVs for this task, which is exacerbated by limitations in its domestic manufacturing capacity resulting from sanctions,” the MoD said. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1607572/Russia-State-Media-TV-Vladimir-Putin-weapons-supplies-shortage-vn Russians ‘ashamed’ as they have to 'crowdfund' for military drones after Putin's losses RUSSIAN state media TV hosts have complained that its customs policies are preventing their troops from getting military equipment, labelling it a "crying shame". In a heated exchange, a Russian TV host and a politician bemoaned the “foolish antics” that are causing Ukrainian troops to be better-equipped in the conflict in the neighbouring country. Russian member of the Federal Assembly Semyon Bagdasarov claimed that Russia needed to “move on to a wartime approach” to stop their forces from being outgunned as Putin’s military continues to struggle to gain ground in its invasion of Ukraine. |

Due to the rapid increase in those wishing to provide information about the crimes of the Ukrainian authorities, IT specialists of the Donetsk People's Republic launched the Catch Caliber telegram bot. It allows anyone to assist in the conduct of the Special Military Operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, by providing any information about the activities of the armed forces of Ukraine and various armed formations adjacent to them. ❗️During the existence of the bot, more than 100,000 messages were received. Most of the information turned out to be significant. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mbinky: ‘Welcome to hell’: Ukrainian airborne fighting Russia in Donbas woods The action zone welcomes with large writing in Russian left by Ukrainian soldiers on a shrapnel-riddled metal fence: “WELCOME TO HELL.” Scores of Uragan missile tails peeking up from the ground among ruins explain the local mood. SLOVYANSK, Donetsk Oblast — The battlefield stretches through the dense forest on the banks of the Siverskiy Donets River. Soldiers of Ukraine’s 79th Airborne Brigade crawl out of sandy trenches preparing their 40-millimeter under-barrel rounds. Barrels up, they aim at an unseen enemy line running some 300 meters away behind the wall of tall pines. “Three, four, fire!” The whistle and the blast merge with never-ending thunder of artillery barrage on the flanks. “Those fucks should know we’re still here and ready,” paratroopers say as they lay their weapons down to rest and seek cover again. In this section of Donbas, as in many others, Ukrainian fighters rarely see their enemy’s face. The largest and the bloodiest battle in Europe since World War II is in many ways a cutthroat duel between Russian and Ukrainian artillery. In this fight, Russia has a clear upper hand and is ensuring its gains by devastating every single Ukrainian line standing in its way. The decisive battle has been going on for nearly 40 days. And Russia is slowly and painfully pressing through Ukrainian defenses, leaving villages and towns behind in ashes. Now, amid recent Russian progress, the situation is reaching a critical point. Yet, despite heavy losses, the Ukrainian military continues fighting hard, trying to wear the Russian military out. Surprisingly for the circumstances, the morale is still high.

People get weary and winded if something last longer than they expected and lose interest or enthusiasm or will if their expectations aren’t met - Desert Storm vs Afghanistan, Vietnam and Iraq. I want Europe to do what it should be doing for Ukraine and not lose interest in doing so. Moscow literally has headlines bragging that Europe will lose interest and give up on Ukraine. Ukraine is in a rough spot in CERTAIN areas at THIS TIME but it can’t rain all the time. The sun will shine again.  Attached File Attached File |

As I’ve stated before, although I could be wrong, I see no scenario in which Moscow seizes all or even the majority of Ukraine permanently and although Kiev wants all its territory back {understandably} it can at least be assured that no matter what there will be a Ukraine {despite Europe’s repeatedly dragging feet and fucking up} that can one day some day reclaim its borders even if that’s decades down the road. Moscow is hoping to fuck up the Ukrainian economy in areas that will never be under its control, permanently. Besides warfare, there’s other aspects that need attention too. |

It’s not just power, communications and transportation. Russia didn’t hit weapons factories because it critically needs them. The Soviets used to source a huge amount of tank and jet engines, used Ukrainian dry docks to produce some of their largest warships, missile tech etc. All of that has been harming Russia’s ability to mass produce platforms like T90 and the SU-57. Even critical platforms like Iskander requires foreign technology to produce them. Russia is dangerously low on its ability to sustain war. Talking Ukraine was a gamble to help rectify that if you think War was inevitable with NATO. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Drakich: Russia left the comms and power because their own “secure” comms are completely dependent on 3g cell service. Where they took out the power and comms (and they did in some places) they had to resort to using radio in the clear and this contributed to several of their earlier command deaths. To be fair I wonder if Russia was paranoid enough about war with NATO they tried to keep their most important communications methods secret from electronic surveillance. I find it difficult to believe that communications on 3G is the best Russia has, but could absolutely see their paranoia keeping some critical things out off the fight and secret. I mean Russia has wired communications to their SSBN bastions so the boats can have immediate and secure communications with Moscow. It’s not like they don’t know communications is critical. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Fallen: A lot of the stuff shown in the article is long out of production and obsolete. With the current production shortages even legit customers would have trouble getting them. It is like obsolete radios that have obsolete chips in them. When the stocks off of the shelves have been used up to make repairs to these radios, then if another one breaks and needs an obsolete chip, the radio is "done". Even if the repair would be simple if the chip was available. NO-ONE is going to start manufacturing old obsolete chips, because of high startup costs to start a line of them. They would never even break even on the costs. And since chips are complex, you usually cannot substitute in another newer chip in its place. There will be differences in them. So the end result is you usually chuck the radio in the trash, or salvage what parts from it you can to repair others.. |

Serious question why is Zelensky still begging for weapons?
At this point I would imagine they have enough maybe just resupply ammo but are they losing equipment like crazy or what's going on I really don't follow this that closely anymore. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By xd675: To be fair I wonder if Russia was paranoid enough about war with NATO they tried to keep their most important communications methods secret from electronic surveillance. I find it difficult to believe that communications on 3G is the best Russia has, but could absolutely see their paranoia keeping some critical things out off the fight and secret. I mean Russia has wired communications to their SSBN bastions so the boats can have immediate and secure communications with Moscow. It’s not like they don’t know communications is critical. The A team is coming bro don't worry bro |
