I know AT’s been doing a good job of posting T-90 kills, so this may be a rerun, but…it’ll bear another showing.

The anti-tank company of the 66th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed 25 enemy tanks in four days, - the head of the press service of the Eastern Group, Ilya Yevlash.

In the video, minus the analog gun T-90.

Russian legionnaires for a bunker dwarf (for his birthday).

You, stumpy devil of Valdai, and the damned devil’s brother and comrade, Lucifer’s own secretary. What the hell kind of president are you when you can’t kill a hedgehog with your bare ass. Damn you, your face is fucked. You, you son of a bitch, will not have the sons of Russia under you, we are not afraid of your army, we will fight you with land and water.

You are a Lubyansky face, an Olginsky troll, a Kremlin grandfather, a Valdai coward, a Chinese puppet, a bunker dwarf, a Luzhnitsky liar, an Udmurt double, a fool of all the world and illumination. You are a pig's muzzle, a mare's ass, a butcher's dog, an unbaptized forehead.
This is how the legionnaires answered you, bald.

You won’t even graze pigs in the Moscow region.

Mrs. Girkin/Strelkov

Yesterday, a meeting in support of Igor Strelkov took place at the Lisva bookstore.

Even the weather conditions did not prevent true like-minded people from gathering.

We watched a wonderful film about Igor, “The Power of One,” directed by Oksana Kravtsova, wrote letters, and talked for a long time. About the Russian spring, volunteers, military operations, and, of course, about the future.

In one hall they gathered and talked about the daily issues: the historian, associate professor of the Russian State University for the Humanities, Alexander Krushelnitsky, and the journalist-political scientist Maxim Kalashnikov, and the poet-playwright Yuri Yurchenko, the author of “Soldier’s Truth” Mikhail Polynkov, the wife of a political prisoner (that is, me), and so producers, students, humanitarians, young political scientists, and other equally important guests with their unique experience and opinions.
We were all united by one thing: the desire for truth... and freedom for Igor Strelkov.

Thank you very much, friends, for your support! I believe that next time we will gather at the same table with Igor Ivanovich.

https://t.me/i_strelkov_2023/265


Letter from Igor, with Dmitri translation and Google translated original as posted to TG by Mrs. Girkin






Only now, bypassing all the “offices” of the pre-trial detention center, they gave back Igor Strelkov’s letter dated September 29. I publish it in full:

My comment regarding the strategic situation
09.29.2023

Reason: V.V. Putin’s meeting with Evkurov and Troshev, a statement by the RF Ministry of Defense that the Ministry of Defense does not have any plans regarding mobilization activities.
Additionally: 1) very reduced, compared to the past, US assistance to maintain the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 2) narrowing and changing the directions of attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, transferring efforts from areas where strategic successes were (theoretically) possible (Melitopol, Berdyansk, Mariupol directions) to areas of Donetsk and Bakhmut, where (if successful) it is possible to achieve only local operational or even tactical objectives, but success can provide opportunities for successful propaganda in Ukraine itself.

The situation at the front at the moment: a strategic impasse (“PAT” cannot be called, since both sides - the Russian Federation and NATO - have not yet moved their main figures). Ukraine cannot return the lost territories with its own forces, the Russian Federation is not able to clear the territories of the DPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Actions of the Russian Federation: with a 99 percent probability, the Kremlin decided to freeze the war until the elections, that is, until March 2024. No actions related to a significant strengthening of the RF Armed Forces that could seriously aggravate the social, economic and internal political situation in the country will be taken until spring. The RF Armed Forces will continue strategic defense on (“plus or minus”) existing lines, with the only task being to prevent deep breakthroughs or sensitive operational successes of the enemy. The question of what the strategy for the next spring/summer campaign will be was put on the back burner. Perhaps in the hope of some events in the enemy camp that will ease the foreign policy situation of the Russian Federation (the success of Trump and the like).

Action of the USA/NATO: I am sure that this strategy of the Russian Federation (mentioned above) is not a secret for the enemy elites and completely suits them as part of the strategic plan to exhaust and undermine Russia from within. The strategic defense of the Russian Federation also does not pose any risks for the United States/NATO. The enemy is confident that he will be able to maintain the internal stability and relative defense capability of the so-called “Ukraine” in the current conditions for as long as necessary. The United States is more than content to continue a low-intensity war without any side gaining the upper hand. The Russian Federation (Putin) is not ready to “put everything on the line?” - "Wonderful! That's what we planned. Let it weaken little by little, we won’t rush.” It is this position that explains the significant reduction in the amount of aid to “Ukraine” and the extreme slowness in the supply of already promised weapons.

I assume that the major military success of “Ukraine” for the United States now seems unnecessary and even (maybe) dangerous, because it could provoke the Kremlin to “increase the degree of confrontation” and take any decisive action in preparation for the liquidation of “Ukraine” itself. And this may in the future affect the situation in the US/NATO itself, which Washington is not ready for now. Therefore, the logic is this: we will feed Ukraine little by little, without frightening Putin, who is still relatively firmly in the chair and in control of the situation. Let’s give him the impression that we are “close to surrendering” to Ukraine and are tired of the war. When the time comes, we can easily ramp up supplies in a matter of weeks, whereas the Russians will need many months of preparation for a full-scale offensive.
I believe that the US position is secretly and openly lobbied in the Kremlin by numerous supporters of reconciliation at any cost, i.e., capitulation. They all remained in their places. Official propaganda “shouts out” to the population of the Russian Federation that “there will be no personnel changes!” (before and after the “elections”), and given the continuation of the current situation, they should not be expected “from the word at all.”

https://t.me/i_strelkov_2023/275







Conclusions:
- The Kremlin has completely lost (or even deliberately conceded) the foreign policy initiative and is “waiting by the sea for weather”, since this allows VIP officials not to strain (or do nothing at all, which they can masterfully) in the USA NATO is in no hurry. and the opinion of the so-called “Ukraine” is of no interest to anyone - the prostitute is “paid in advance” and is not going anywhere.
- For the coming months, probably for the autumn-winter campaign, I predict positional battles without significant changes in the strategic situation. Separate operations are possible on both sides for propaganda purposes (Russian Federation - we are moving forward! We have already improved our positions! Victory is coming soon. “Ukra” - “we are moving forward, liberating the territory, victory is inevitable!”).
- The mutual exchange of attacks on rear areas and infrastructure will continue and increase. its tension depends only on the scale of production of ammunition (in the Russian Federation) and on its receipt from NATO (for “Ukraine”).

“Bloody push-pull,” which I had been warning about as the main danger since the fall of 2014, has become our unalternative reality. Unless a miracle happens, it will almost inevitably lead Russia to disaster and collapse (in whole or in part). The reluctance of the Russian authorities to “fight for real” is understandable and justified, since it poses a threat to their power, which was clearly demonstrated by the so-called “Prigozhinsky rebellion.” However, “swimming with the flow” will ultimately lead (almost inevitably) to the same disastrous result, but with “no options” and then, along with the collapse of the state, the VIP elite will lose not only power and money, but also their lives. If not all, then very, very many, however, they also do not believe in this “from the word at all.”
In the domestic political aspect, I predict a gradual increase in repression against everyone “who does not keep pace with the party,” no matter what camp they come from. They will try to disguise this before the elections. After “Putin’s triumphant victory” (it simply cannot be otherwise), options are possible, although one cannot expect a harsh dictatorship either - Putin does not know how to do it, just as he does not know how to do absolutely anything more than halfway.

This text does not take into account completely possible “black swans” that can radically change the picture in a matter of days (or maybe even hours, as was the case in June). Recorded one day before the 40-day date, the murder of Prigozhin and Utkin.

Their relationship went through a tough phase for a while, but they've been mending it for a few years now.

The history of Soviet-Israeli enmity is long and complicated, and I frankly don't have the energy to write out a short novel at the moment. However, it was very much so real, rooted in both geopolitical interests and ideological issues (both internal to the communist world and just good ole fashioned anti-Semitism). Hamas and Russia also share an implied third party enemy, which is the US, and Russia enjoys a recently-rejuvenated alliance with one of the main sponsors of Hamas: Iran.

Much of Russian Telegram seems to approve of what happened in Israel, and this is an interesting examination of that from Sasha Kots.


For some reason, it is customary on Russian social networks to take sides in any conflict. How can you do this when, on the one hand, there are those who secretly help your enemy, sing the anthems of Ukrainian nationalists and welcome our internal enemies. On the other hand, there is primitive cruelty, mockery of corpses and outright terrorist methods.

Moreover, the latter have more sympathizers in our country. It’s as if Kizlyar, Budennovsk, Nord-Ost and Beslan didn’t exist. How can you sympathize with the savages who climb, pushing each other aside in order to hit a broken defenseless prisoner. To shove a phone in the face of an obviously raped woman who was taken from the trunk of an SUV and forced into the cabin. To jump on the body of a dead soldier.

It’s also somehow sly to mock the Merkava abandoned on the highway after Balakleya. Although, of course, I had illusions about the omnipotence of Israeli intelligence. And the lively discussion of its failure suggests that we suddenly saw that Jews are just like us. They also mess up and then clean it up.

They are not afraid to officially recognize fakapi, they directly say that they do not control seven cities, do not draw red lines for themselves and, without regard to anyone’s reaction, hollow out decision-making centers.

🇮🇱 Two citizens of Ukraine died in Israel - the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel

✍️"The Embassy of Ukraine received confirmation from the Israeli police regarding the death of two Ukrainian citizens. Measures are being taken to organize the repatriation of the bodies of the dead. There is currently no information on the presence of Ukrainian citizens among the wounded or missing," the embassy told Interfax.


https://t.me/DeepStateUA/17782



It is estimated that Hamas had been planning the operation for about a year. Between 800 and 1,000 Hamas fighters took part in the infiltration under rocket cover and reached 20 settlements and 11 Israeli Army military installations. The border has been significantly violated and there are more than 40 passes...

Hamas waged a years-long campaign to deceive Israel to catch it off guard - Reuters
A careful, years-long campaign of deception allowed the Islamist group Hamas to take Israel by surprise with its attack. A source close to Hamas told Reuters the terrorist organization had led Israel to believe it did not want armed conflict and could be placated with economic incentives to maintain relative calm.

"Hamas has given Israel the impression that it is not prepared to fight. Hamas has used unprecedented intelligence tactics to mislead Israel in recent months, giving the public the impression that it is unwilling to engage in a fight or confrontation with Israel in preparation for this large-scale operation," the source told the agency.

Israel. Morning meeting of the operational headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine

Ukrainian diplomats conducted a successful rescue operation — they took out of the city of Sderot a Ukrainian boy who was injured during an attack by militants. He is currently in a safe place under the care of the embassy. He was given medical and psychological help.

It was possible to find five citizens who were considered missing in the south of Israel.

At the same time, information appeared about the possible death of two other Ukrainians near the Gaza Strip. We are checking.
In total, over the past day, the operative headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine processed more than 200 appeals from citizens. We fix the mass cancellation of flights. We are looking for a solution to help our people leave the country.

We received information about the possible death of a Ukrainian in the Gaza Strip. We are waiting for official confirmation.

According to the Wall Street Journal Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s Saturday surprise attack on Israel
Iran gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group.

Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions—the most significant breach of Israel’s borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War—those people said. Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended
   
Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended
by IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and
political faction in Lebanon, they said.

U.S. officials say they haven’t seen evidence of Tehran’s involvement. In an interview with CNN that aired Sunday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “We have not yet seen evidence that Iran directed or was behind this particular attack, but there is certainly a long relationship.”






A source in Hamas told the Chinese news agency Xinhua: Qatar is mediating to bring about a quick prisoner exchange deal. According to the same source, Qatar is seeking, with the support of the United States, an agreement that would result in the release of the Israeli women held captive by Hamas in exchange for the Palestinian women in Israeli prison. The report claims that Hamas told Qatar that they have no objection to this

Russian demographics were shit before this war even started and now even shittier. Combine it with the PTSD and anger the surviving Russians will have when this war is over and Putin has quite an interesting dilemma on his hand. Or maybe not as the Russian people seems to love suffering under dictatorships of various flavors.

HO LEE FUK.  You can see the TC on a ballistic arc about 40 meters from the tank.  Looking right at the guy too.
Didn’t look like a Javelin to me.  The explosion looks like it hit around the turret glacis.  Maybe a Stunga, TOW, or tank round?

Great catch! I couldn't tell where it came from but regardless of ATGM used that boom was insane. It looks like the T-90 crew tried using smoke grenades in another video to obscure the ATGM gunners to little avail. I wouldn't want to be in a tank these days.

Stugna probably. I got the video slown down and I can see a blur. It's small and coming from the left to right and impacts the right side of the hull and is instantly effective.

Hamas waged a years-long campaign to deceive Israel to catch it off guard - Reuters
A careful, years-long campaign of deception allowed the Islamist group Hamas to take Israel by surprise with its attack. A source close to Hamas told Reuters the terrorist organization had led Israel to believe it did not want armed conflict and could be placated with economic incentives to maintain relative calm.

"Hamas has given Israel the impression that it is not prepared to fight. Hamas has used unprecedented intelligence tactics to mislead Israel in recent months, giving the public the impression that it is unwilling to engage in a fight or confrontation with Israel in preparation for this large-scale operation," the source told the agency.

Israel. Morning meeting of the operational headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine

Ukrainian diplomats conducted a successful rescue operation — they took out of the city of Sderot a Ukrainian boy who was injured during an attack by militants. He is currently in a safe place under the care of the embassy. He was given medical and psychological help.

It was possible to find five citizens who were considered missing in the south of Israel.

At the same time, information appeared about the possible death of two other Ukrainians near the Gaza Strip. We are checking.
In total, over the past day, the operative headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine processed more than 200 appeals from citizens. We fix the mass cancellation of flights. We are looking for a solution to help our people leave the country.

Gaza Strip
We received information about the possible death of a Ukrainian in the Gaza Strip. We are waiting for official confirmation.
The diplomatic institution in Ramallah maintains constant contact with the Ukrainian community. We are working out potential evacuation routes.

According to the Wall Street Journal Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s Saturday surprise attack on Israel
Iran gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group.

Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions—the most significant breach of Israel’s borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War—those people said. Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended
   
Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended
by IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and
political faction in Lebanon, they said.

U.S. officials say they haven’t seen evidence of Tehran’s involvement. In an interview with CNN that aired Sunday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “We have not yet seen evidence that Iran directed or was behind this particular attack, but there is certainly a long relationship.”

A source in Hamas told the Chinese news agency Xinhua: Qatar is mediating to bring about a quick prisoner exchange deal. According to the same source, Qatar is seeking, with the support of the United States, an agreement that would result in the release of the Israeli women held captive by Hamas in exchange for the Palestinian women in Israeli prison. The report claims that Hamas told Qatar that they have no objection to this

I’m 100% OK with doing the swap…..then shooting down their plane as it leaves Qatar/MOABing them as they land back in whatever shit hole they are going to or simply killing them all on Qatar soil and telling them to fuck off.

It truly is. Their anger over,// insert various subjects here//, has colored everything they believe. They've turned into angry little trolls, convinced of their own righteousness, determined to make everyone around them as angry and miserable as they are.

I was stunned when I saw "Oh, and Fuck Ukraine!" and other similar anti UA statements in threads that have nothing to do with Ukraine or Israel.

It is truly disheartening, and angering, to see so many people so... well, lost, is the only word my drug addled and coffee starved mind can come up with this morning.

They can't have a civil conversation anymore about anything. Their behavior is very similar to the anti U.S. radicals of the 60's, and for the very same reasons.

Maybe, but I "think" 9/11 was more arrogant ineptitude rather than intentionally withholding info. Who knows. I just have a hard time believing that with Hamas meeting with Iranians and plotting this shitshow for months, maybe a year, that no one caught wind of it.  

This is certainly a huge benefit for Russia, at least short term.

I think there is a lot of truth in this. Either by actual Russian propaganda or wishful thinking, many have come to believe that Russia is defending Christianity, the nuclear family, national sovereignty and borders and fighting the globalist "commie" cabal. Watching the attacks in Israel "should" show them they are terribly wrong. Russia is closely allied with Iran and behind many many American (and Israeli) deaths. Russia is also allied with Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, probably China and Pakistan, and other historic enemies that even the stupidest, brain addled GD'er "should" recognize. Hey idiots!!!

Still tough to sort through all the Gaza stuff.
It IS impressive.

In the Minister of Defense's decision to impose a complete siege on the Strip, I usually do not update such things, there are enough military reporters who will do that, but I think the quote here is critical:
"... No electricity, no food, no water, fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly."

Russia is behind the attacks on Israel.  They are pushing Iran to attack to punish the West for supplying weapons and intel to Ukraine.

amen:

1.  Jesus is the risen savior
2.  Love for family
3.  Freedom (RKBA) and capitalism -- private property ownership and free market economy
4.  Maintain fitness and mental development
5.  Support law and order / defense in our USA society

that's pretty much my moral compass.

could be.  also -- if you look at the 20 sec mark -- there is a dark spot in the dirt of the road.  made me think it might be a anti-tank mine.  the 'spot' gets a bit obscured by the 'dust up' of the last fired tank round.

in any case a very effective destruction of that tank

I'm surprised that I find myself being okay with this, actions have consequences, and when your told to leave an area texted to every phone in that area because it's going to be bombed, you should leave if you value your life.  Every strike is carefully conducted though because of intelligence that it's used as operations for terrorists.  It's not blind.


I'm amused by the rumor that Iron Dome was overwhelmed.  Doing the math and talking with some over in the region yesterday, we had over 3,000 Gaza rockets fired into multiple Israeli settlements in about 15 hours.  If you go by the 90 to 95% intercept rate of these rockets by Iron Dome, it comes out to a few hundred rockets getting to hit random areas.  I can only imagine if all those got through.
