As I've had to reiterate to the "Hate Reagan Club" that is en vogue these days, yes, Reagan spent a lot but, the majority of it was on the military and on systems that still make up the backbone of it, even after 2 decades of war. We get nothing for the vast majority of the Federal spending now because most of it is on welfare handouts. |

Latvia threatened to close the border with Russia and Belarus Latvia may close the border with Russia and Belarus in the event of a massive influx of illegal migrants. This was stated by Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics at a meeting with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. The topic of the negotiations held in Riga on Tuesday was the threat of "hybrid attacks" on the Latvian border from Belarus and Germany's participation in ensuring the security of the region. "Rink vi s expressed the position that Latvia is ready to take all necessary measures, including closing the border with Belarus and Russia, especially in cases of a massive influx of migrants," the office of the Latvian President reports. Also during the meeting, Rink vi s thanked Pistorius for the planned increase in the presence of German armed forces in the Baltic countries and confirmed Latvia's readiness to rotate German combat aircraft to Lielv rde in 2024. https://t.me/moscowtimes_ru/15928 Konigsberg?  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: Alekhine raised an important topic: there is no point in creating new “reconnaissance and assault brigades”. Our reconnaissance and assaults are carried out by landing forces and special forces (GRU). There is also Storm. It's not about the divisions. The point is, as Alekhine correctly noted, that people MUST BE PROVIDED!!! Modern warfare means well-trained and motivated soldiers and officers. We must train our fighters well and not waste them on assaults in a bare field. Modern weapons have achieved such precision and lethality that it is impossible to overcome them with masses. Only intelligence and experience. The Soviet idea that a soldier is a brick that the Soviet homeland molded from clay, and that you can stick as many of these bricks as you like, has not worked for a long time. As long as the personnel units are combat-ready, they can effectively defend and advance; as soon as the ideologically solid core of experienced sergeants-officers wears down, the degradation of the unit begins. Our military officials are haunted by the idea that it is possible to come up with some new unit of people who, simply due to their name, will take oporniks and cities without artillery preparation in successful meat assaults. Theoretically, it is probably possible to mobilize 2-3 million people into the army and, by pouring in en masse with huge losses, achieve results, but for a war in this way there are neither political nor industrial possibilities. But what the army really needs to win is satellites, communications, precision ammunition, drones and well-functioning inter-branch interaction between troops. ZHIVOVZ https://t.me/zhivoff/11092 The same SpN, but side view? The Ministry of Defense decided to create reconnaissance and assault brigades. Based on the experience of the Northern Military District, the department decided that such special forces were needed. The tasks of the new brigades are reconnaissance and assault. According to the generals' plan, the brigades will include reconnaissance units capable of conducting reconnaissance behind enemy lines, as well as assault units capable of breaking through the enemy's layered defenses. The new units will receive all the weapons necessary for this, including heavy and light armored vehicles, artillery, etc. Reconnaissance will be equipped with drones of various types. Do you want this in other words? In the Ministry of Defense, and maybe even higher, someone remembered that the RF Armed Forces have their own special forces, and there are also air assault brigades, but as it turned out, almost all of them during the Northern Military District were used very stupidly by army commanders and districts - like ordinary infantry, which is why they were drawn down, mobilized ones were brought there, for the selection and training of whom no resources were allocated, that is, the elite units turned into ordinary infantry. But in order not to talk about it, just as not to report to the President, they decided not to restore what they themselves had broken, but to create supposedly new ones. We have separate special forces brigades, we have landing forces, like everything else, so there’s no point in creating jobs for mediocre colonels and generals. You just put in charge of what are normal generals and colonels with balls (sorry), so that they can make decisions and be responsible for them and with their heads, so that they can create cunning moves, maneuvers, strategies. Bring back General Popov, assign him a Warrior, gather a few more colonels who know how to fight in one army, assign them a goal, provide them with a resource and give them the right to decide for themselves how they will achieve this goal and you will see the birth of new Suvorovs. Yes, be sure to mentally prepare yourself that you will not be able to communicate with them, as some district and general staff officers today communicate with combat officers, but let this be the moral price of victory for big shoulder straps. It’s time for officials, including those in uniform, to understand that not only equipment should be emphasized, but that the main resource should go to the person and the commander. Without competent commanders at the head of units, without personnel with high morale and discipline, any equipment will work ineffectively. Put competent commanders at the head of the Special Forces and there will be no need to create new units. Although, the new unit is not only fighters and military officers, but also a lot of positions for wives, mistresses, sisters, brothers and children... And in our management system this must also be taken into account. https://t.me/Alekhin_Telega/8074 It’s wonderful to hear them describe what they need to win. Because being Russian they will never get trained troops, good officer corps, or Inter-unit coordination. More meat sacks, sir? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BerettaGuy: Snipped This is why the focus on 'historical perspectives' is wrong and has no place in this conflict. There is always going to be argument and counter argument ad infinitum. Sticking to current international law and agreements is the way forward. Under those terms, there is no dispute that Russia's invasion was illegal and unjustifiable. When you bring up old history, you unwittingly support Russia's argument to historical possession of Ukraine, despite modern international laws and treaties. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fervid_dryfire: ... It would be a good time to cue that "balkanization of Russia" map that got posted here a while back.  Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fervid_dryfire: Originally Posted By RockNwood: “History may not repeat, but it often rhymes.” What rhymes with “big fucking collapse of an empire?”
According to Bloomberg, the Russian government plans to allocate 10.8 trillion rubles ($112,216.536) for its national defense in the coming year. It is 70% more than in the current year (6.8 trillion rubles ($70,654,856,000.00), 2.3 times more than in 2022, and three times higher than the figures for the pre-war year 2021. As a result, for the first time, the military and the defense industry will consume nearly every third ruble from the state treasury (29.5%). For comparison, the budget for the current year originally allocated only 19% of expenditures for defense, while in the first year of the war with Ukraine, this share was 17%. By the third year of the invasion, the bill for the war will double in the budget and exceed $200 billion. This amount is comparable to the GDP of countries like Greece or Hungary. "Such military expenditures have never been seen in all of modern Russian history," notes Alexandra Prokopenko, an invited research fellow at the Carnegie Moscow Center for the Study of Russia and Eurasia. The Soviet Union also allocated a third of its budget to defense in its final years. For example, in the 1990 budget, 71 billion rubles ($737,719,820.00) were allocated for "military purposes" out of 241.3 billion ($2,507,208,346.00), or 29.4% (data published in the archive of former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar). If we take into account the total expenditures on law enforcement agencies, including the police, the National Guard, and the Federal Penitentiary Service, Russia has already surpassed the records of the late Soviet period. In total, spending almost 40% of the budget on "national defense" and "national security" account, compared to 33% in 1990. ... It would be a good time to cue that "balkanization of Russia" map that got posted here a while back.

Interesting collection of “inside Russia chats”. I like that they want to outlaw using Western chips. Using their own design built in China means much slower innovation. But if you are being heavily sanctioned then it does free you to disregard intellectual property rights and can try to copy a plethora of military and consumer goods.
👉 The State Duma proposed creating a Russian version of The Sims with “traditional values.” Parliamentarians complained that the latest part of the game “promotes LGBT and other forms of behavior that are contrary to traditional values.” As a solution to the problem, the deputies proposed developing their own game. They want to add an educational component to it. It is planned that the game will teach how to build “healthy family relationships.” Also from the Russian The Sims you can learn about the laws of the Russian Federation and the basics of financial literacy. 👉 The authorities demanded the abandonment of Western chips in weapons and critical infrastructure until 2035. This is stated in the “Consolidated strategy for the development of the manufacturing industry of the Russian Federation until 2030 and for the period until 2035,” writes Kommersant with reference to the document. Before the SVO, Russian microelectronics developers, including Baikal Electronics, designed processors under a license from the British ARM. This simplified development and ensured compatibility with the software stack at foreign factories, primarily Taiwanese TSMC. However, after the introduction of sanctions, domestic design centers lost the opportunity to enter into new licensing agreements with ARM. “To briefly describe the only Russian chip that we should expect in the near future, it will be a processor developed on RISC-V, produced and packaged at a factory in China. But it’s not a fact that this chip can be called Russian,” says the publication’s interlocutor. 👉 The former leader of Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian billionaire Ruben Vardanyan, was detained at the Lachin border checkpoint, Armenian and Azerbaijani media reported. The authorities of Azerbaijan demanded his extradition. Vardanyan’s wife told Kommersant that she had lost contact with her husband. At the end of 2022 , Putin deprived Vardanyan of Russian citizenship. The businessman left Russia and became the prime minister of the republic. He explained his departure by the desire to be with the residents of Karabakh in a time of crisis. 👉 The State Duma proposed teaching schoolchildren how to knit camouflage nets and make trench candles. The head of the “A Just Russia” faction, Sergei Mironov, considers it necessary to introduce an “Important Things” lesson in schools, in which students could learn how to do useful things for participants in a special operation. “Why don’t schoolchildren learn how to knit camouflage nets, why not start making trench candles and many other useful things for our Northern Military District soldiers,” the politician said. 👉 ⚡️ Russian premium quality replica store on Telegram!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Mali - Wagner IL-76 landing ridiculously long and overrunning the runway on landing. Note that the accident takes place right in front of what appears to be an Airbus A400 transport, likely French military. Hotdogging? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUnPmt_zDxgWhich can’t help but remind me of this: “The Vodka Burner” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyvY2GK9B3MThose stupid sons-of-bitches! Why the hell did they even attempt setting it down as bad as they overshot? And upon setting it down, why the hell didn't the pilots immediately throttle up and get back into the air? Hell, even a dumb Russian should be able to see they didn't have nowhere near enough runaway for stopping. Geez, as much stupid shit as I've seen the "ackbar" types do over the years, not even they can compete with level of retardation exhibited by the Russians. |

Did he set down too late? Bad brakes? No reverse thrust? Too heavy? Or BAC 3.4??? I know some Russian airlines are flying without brakes. |

You try thinking clearly all hopped up on brake fluid.

I am surprised about how far south the “scorch marks” are located. obviously does not imply infantry are that far south but does show Ukraine artillery is plastering far south and east of Robotyne and even Novoprokopivka.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dominion21: Disappointed, for certain. And a huge part of the problem was a simple Russian weapon deployed in unimaginably large numbers: the TM-46 (or some variant thereof) https://inertproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/TM46_2-600-copy.jpg US doctrine does, minimally, consider this weapon in how combined arms breaching operations are “planned” but the centerpiece remains the 1958-origin MICLIC - a system foreign to the Ukrainians. We have long known the technique, doctrine, and weapon systems were behind the times; this is from 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIvtVYvW03sIn Ukraine, the Russian’s simple and effective solution was to make the minefields many times deeper; sometimes hundreds of yards thick, with their endless supply of cheap anti tank mines. On our part, the stalled offensive was a mistake of approach. We should have seen this coming. The Russians created a “Maginon Line” of minefields, and we failed to understand we need to figure out a way to go around. There's going to be an ass load more of those simple weapons placed in the next several months. The Ukraine armed forces are going to have to beat through them all over again. |

[Asking, I just don't understand the react.] No country should pat themselves on the back too hard, but every bit of eye pro, helmets, ear plugs, and armored vests is reducing the future cost of this war. I will also just note that the guy with the shredded helmet seems to have been wearing a US provided IOTV. How's that for international cooperation?

Maybe I'm using this emote wrong, for me it's "shocked or disgusted" about something that happened. In this instance because I caught some shrapnel myself.  I'm genuinely happy for this guy that the helmet protect his head. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: I think the cringe is from looking at that needle like shrapnel sticking in the top of the helmet and imaging the result without a good helmet. Like an ice pick through the brain. There but for the grace of God go I…  You got it. |

I caught The Pope’s Exorcist on the plane over the weekend and it struck me that Russel Crowe is gonna have to play Kadyrov in a future movie about this war.

The camera dude has too much sky, but it looks like he touched down about where the red X is.  Attached File |
