Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HIPPO: According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, the whole world is suffering from the consequences of the war not because Russia attacked Ukraine, but because Europe globalized the conflict. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine believes that the EU should demand an explanation from Hungary why it spreads disinformation against the European Union in the interests of Russia. "Europe globalized the conflict" is a term I think will be batted around a bit. I just heard it in Binkov's latest video. Seems to be a handy ambiguous term to toss like a grenade into any discussion. |

Russia invested thousands of lives to take Bakhmut. It's emotionally important. All those men must not have died in vain! This is why I thought Ukraine was right on Bakhmut in the first place, and is right now. Russia WANTS Bakhmut. They don't need it, it doesn't have significant value, but they're placing a high emotional value on it, which means they're acting irrationally. If those forces had been deployed against Kharkiv instead, that might have created a strategically different picture. But they wanted Bakhmut. Who knows why, and who cares? Grinding up men & machines for nothing is a loss for Russia. |

But you take them militarily not by attacking civilians in malls and apartments. I don't really know that russia has a choice. Other than not attacking at all of course. Don't take this as me saying their attacking of civilian targets isn't evil. It is. It's evil. I'm saying just think of how many instances we have where russia has launched a major attack on an empty warehouse where Ukraine USED to store military equipment years ago. russia had an old map that showed it as a military target so they hit it. I think russian intelligence is blind. Completely and totally blind. Ukraine rightly and properly repositioned and dispersed their military assets after the start of hostilities and russia doesn't have a clue how to find them. If they can't see them with an FPV drone or get coordinates from a traitor on the ground russia seems to have no way to locate and attack them. So if you're evil enough you figure out that shopping malls, apartment complexes, hospitals and grade schools don't move and you have maps to locate them so you attack them instead. I hope pooty boy burns in hell. Evil scum. There may be some of that, however Syria proves otherwise. They had total air supremacy over the country and CHOSE to bomb hospitals. Very fair counterpoint. No doubt, like the scorpion in the fable of the scorpion and the frog, cold blooded murder is just in their nature. And they are pretty dumb. |

The Russians "lost" this missile on August 11 during an early morning attack on an airfield in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Then one of the MiG-31Ks simply "dropped" the missile allegedly due to an abnormal system malfunction. By all accounts, the missile was not even searched for. By habit, the military reported on the successful destruction of all targets and wrote it off, but on September 12, Tula agronomists questioned Konashenkov's words. A tractor driver noticed a strange object sticking out of the ground almost two kilometers away from Biriulevka village, Russia. The elite of the region security services and the manufacturer's representatives were immediately called on the spot of the X-47M2 falling. After inspection, Kolomna machine-building design Bureau engineers came to the conclusion that it was impossible to transport it from Tula and reassemble the hypersonic superweapon, so it was decided to blow up the remains of the missile. Seven buses and a couple of hundred military men were needed to evacuate the locals. They were not allowed to take their pets with them. A similar story happened in the same Tula region on August 26, 2023. "Blind" safety aerodynamic cap of the nozzle block of the boost solid propellant stage of the Kh-47M2 (9-C-7760) "Kinzhal" aeroballistic missile fell near the village of Mazalki in the Aleksin district of the Tula region. According to Russian Telegram channels, the fall of the missile element was caused by the fact that the launch from the suspension unit of the MiG-31K carrier aircraft against one of the AFU facilities in Khmelnytskyi or Kyiv region was carried out from the area of Yasnogorsk. Russian citizens should think hard about what else may suddenly fall on their heads. |

"Thanks to them (DPRK), Russia can reverse the situation at the front." -- Russian Propagandists I am not sure if the horse is in front of the cart, but multiple Russian sources are celebrating what they claim is an agreement made between the DPRK and Russia for the provision of the KN-09 GMLRS, barrel artillery and ammunition. I also believe this has #China's fingerprints all over it. Here is a good discussion about the KN-09 GMLRS: https://nautilus.org/napsnet/napsnet-special-reports/assessing-the-dprks-kn-09-300-mm-multiple-rocket-launcher-system-decisive-or-incremental/ Example: The DPRK has decided to start supplying its latest KN-09 (MLRS) multiple launch rocket systems to the Russian Federation. Flies far, hits very accurately. Analog of HIMARS. In addition to the artillery, the DPRK will supply us with missile systems that can greatly harm Kiev (APU). But for Pyongyang, it is also a way to test a new weapon that has entered service. For example, the Korean KN-09 rocket artillery system, introduced around 2014, boasts a range of up to 220 kilometers. The caliber of its projectile is 300 mm. And the KN-25 system, first introduced in 2019, hits further than 400 km with six 600-mm shells and weighing three tons each. In general, these MLRS are the most effective in the world. They are superior to their American counterparts: HIMARS (KN-09) and MGM-140 ATACMS (KN-25). Theoretically, it is possible that we will also receive from the DPRK 170-mm self-propelled artillery installations M1989 "Koksan". With conventional ammunition, this ACS can operate at distances up to 40 km, and with the use of active-reactive - 60 km. This is also much more effective than the most modern NATO guns. According to the information, deliveries will begin from October. And on the front of ITS new types of weapons may be by November. The DPRK's artillery is one of the best in the world, and its multimillion-dollar reserves of shells are unique in their volumes. Thanks to them, Russia can reverse the situation at the front. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F6D8fCYWsAAA5qd?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F6D8ax1XAAApnaS?format=jpg&name=medium https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F6EcNkAWIAA42XM?format=png&name=small Kind of a small missile to outrange a ATACMs. Maybe we will get lucky and the Russians fire them way behind the lines and end up hitting their own front lines. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AeroEngineer: I feel pretty confident, saying that kilo class submarine is effectively destroyed. Mini years ago, I was a structural engineer, working for the Navy on submersible systems, including fast attack submarines. This was at the beginning of my career, and I was a very Junior engineer, so I am definitely not a subject matter expert. However, based on my limited experience of the complexities of repairing pressure hulls, I would say that even if the damage is limited such that a repair is theoretically possible, I think the probability of it being able to be repaired to a seaworthy state and return to fight in this conflict is zero. Most likely scenario, it sits there until it gets scrapped. From what little I know about US Subs (and less about Russian subs), my guess is that everything in the front section of the pressure hull, to include the hull itself would have to be replaced. Provided, of course it is a modular hull design where such wizardry is even possible, and there was minimal internal damage to the rest of the boat. I am pretty sure that most subs would be a constructive loss at that point unless there was somehow a orphan or spare front hull section laying around a shipyard somewhere or the class of sub was still being constructed and there were enough spares/materials around construct a new hull section. And that is assuming that the primary systems of the sub, such as pumps, propulsion plant, batteries, main electrical distribution, etc. were still in good enough condition to justify the time/expense and there was a fully equipped shipyard available to conduct an extensive rebuild refit. So, we are probably looking at a bunch of 2026 Ladas at this point. |

Oh good! Oligarchs at war with each other using PMCs! WITH VIDEO SHENANIGANS!
 https://twitter.com/pstyle0ne1/status/1702751610588250535 Several dozen private security forces in camouflage seized the territory of the Dulisma oil company in the Irkutsk region. In the video from the scene, they shoot in the air and knock company employees to the ground The capture of "Dulsima" occurred at the beginning of the week. Then armed private security forces landed on the territory of “Dulsima” with a helicopter. The video was filmed on the territory of a residential camp for company employees, located next to an oil refining installation. It is unknown in whose interests the enterprise was seized. The Dulisma oil company is part of the assets of the former owner of Yugra Bank, Alexey Khotin. In 2019, the banker was placed under house arrest in connection with a criminal case of embezzlement of over 283 billion rubles. bankrupt bank "Ugra". Now the income from all assets of Khotin is turned to the benefit of the state. At the same time, Dulisma is in the process of bankruptcy, but a buyer for its debt has not yet been found. The telegram channel VChK-OGPU names the temporary manager of the company, Alexander Zolotukhin, as the organizer of the seizure - the private security company helped him execute the court decision to transfer the assets of Dulsima to him. Zolotukhin and his partners allegedly plan to illegally sell the oil accumulated in the company’s tanks. Last December in the Urals, a similar forceful seizure of Khotin’s oil assets occurred with his company Kayum Oil. At the end of August, the PravdaURFO publication wrote that the private security company, nicknamed “Khotin’s Fighters,” was preparing to return Kayum Oil to the banker’s ownership - but instead, two weeks later, Khotin lost physical control over another company. |

Post Feb 22nd me realizes that is foolish and will never happen because of Russian history. |

Finland has watched enough zombie movies to know what is needed and you can’t wait until the last minute to think about these things. Notice they use open wire fencing so they can see and shoot through it. Smart!
1297 kilometers to go boys, we’re burning daylight!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AeroEngineer: I feel pretty confident, saying that kilo class submarine is effectively destroyed. Mini years ago, I was a structural engineer, working for the Navy on submersible systems, including fast attack submarines. This was at the beginning of my career, and I was a very Junior engineer, so I am definitely not a subject matter expert. However, based on my limited experience of the complexities of repairing pressure hulls, I would say that even if the damage is limited such that a repair is theoretically possible, I think the probability of it being able to be repaired to a seaworthy state and return to fight in this conflict is zero. Most likely scenario, it sits there until it gets scrapped. I've just got my fingers crossed that the Ukrainians will wait until there is a bunch of expensive and rare ship-recovery vessels and equipment nearby, and then when the Russians get part way through scrapping those vessels, the Ukrainians hit the drydock gates and just flood the whole mess.

After Prigozhin was whacked he has been trying cozy up to the West AND Putin. He is rightfully scared shitless and ha no where to go. Putin likes watching his prey dangle and whimper for a time. |
