A-50 in Taganrog, SU-57, and Putin's pride — the Voronezh radar 🔥
All of them have one thing in common: the last thing they saw before they crashed was beavers 🦫 And to be more precise, UJ-26 "Beaver" kamikaze drones, which in the skillful hands of @diukraine fighters have been successfully terrorizing the enemy on his own territory for over a year 😈 And this is exactly what our second part of the film is about. Details of the most successful operations, footage of combat work and comments of special forces of the Main Directorate of Intelligence together with the head of the structure Kyryll Budanov are already on our YouTube: https://youtu.be/bAeU3and9xs  ???????? ??? ???????: ?? ?????? ?????? ??????? ??? https://t.me/DIUkraine/4418 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: Despite the optimistic statements of the top leadership of the Russian Federation that all the goals of the special military operation (SMO) will be achieved and that we have not yet started to fight for real, in fact the situation in the SMO zone is very serious. The Russian army has demonstrated to the whole world its low combat capability and inability to achieve a strategic turning point in the military actions in Ukraine. Moreover, the war has moved to the territory of "old Russia" and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have occupied part of its territory in the Kursk region. It seems that things are heading towards the "deal" that has become customary in recent years, which will be more like an unconditional surrender of the Russian Federation with inevitable consequences that Russia has not yet known in the previous thousand-year history. Why do I make such a tragic conclusion? The fact is that for the first time Russia has found itself in such severe international isolation and most countries of the world condemn it for the military conflict in Ukraine, demand an end to the war and the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Moreover, Russian Foreign Minister S. Lavrov, speaking at MGIMO on September 2, 2024, said that a coalition of about 50 countries has now been created, the main goal of which is to dismember Russia https://ria.ru/20240902/lavrov-1970052855.html?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop The sad thing is that even countries that we consider friendly also essentially take pro-Ukrainian positions and demand that Russia restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine. I mean China and India. As is known, the Prime Minister of the Republic of India N. Modi, at the invitation of President V.V. Putin, visited Moscow on July 8-9, 2024 on an official visit and took part in the XXII annual Russian-Indian summit. Following the visit, the "Joint Statement on the Results of the XXII Russian-Indian Annual Summit "Russia-India: A Strong and Expanding Partnership" was adopted. I drew attention to paragraph 74 of the Joint Statement: "The Parties emphasized the urgent need for a peaceful resolution of the conflict around Ukraine through dialogue and diplomacy, including the involvement of both sides. They noted with satisfaction the relevant proposals for mediation and "good offices" aimed at a PEACEFUL RESOLVEMENT OF THE CONFLICT IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL LAW AND ON THE BASIS OF THE UN CHARTER." http://kremlin.ru/supplement/6168 This paragraph indicates a fundamental change in the Kremlin's approach to the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. The fact is that international law and the UN Charter consider the principle of TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY of all states, including Ukraine, to be the cornerstone of international relations. And the Russian President, having signed the Joint Statement, including the ill-fated point 74, for the first time agreed with the territorial integrity of Ukraine. And thus for the first time he questioned the Russian affiliation of Crimea, Donbass, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. In addition, I was struck by the fact that the most important issue, namely the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, was put under number 74 at the very end of the Joint Statement, obviously in the hope that few would pay attention to it. Having achieved such an impressive diplomatic success in Moscow, on August 23, Prime Minister N. Modi arrived on an official visit to Kiev, where he held talks with President Zelensky and apparently informed him of the Kremlin's agreement with the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The Indian Prime Minister's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval was also present at these negotiations. On September 12, he urgently flew to Moscow on the instructions of N. Modi to inform V. Putin about the details of the negotiations between the head of the Indian government and President Zelensky that took place in Kiev. It seems that India is acting as a mediator in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in this situation. But I repeat, India advocates negotiations exclusively on the basis of international law and the UN Charter, i.e., first and foremost, for the territorial integrity of Ukraine. CONTINUED BELOW https://t.me/blackcolonel2020/1560 On July 9, President V. Putin signed the recognition of the priority of international law and the UN Charter in these negotiations. Will he agree to the practical implementation of these principles in the upcoming negotiations? https://t.me/blackcolonel2020/1561 I don't know who Black Colonel is, but that post definitely qualifies under the proclamations against discrediting the military and other restrictions on speech/expression in Russia. Others have already gone to jail for comments like that. |

Exactly what I was thinking. If they were actually receiving adequate aid from foreign partners, they could be much more circumspect with crowdfunding. But they are forced to maximize both avenues, since neither is sufficient on its own.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: The last decisive warning #3: Russia will give the most decisive response if anyone tries to interfere with the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine. The corresponding statement was made by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov on May 12, 2022. “We primarily proceed from the statements made by the President, starting on February 24, that Russia will be ready to give the most decisive response to the side that tries to somehow interfere in Ukraine and interfere with the special military operation that the Russian Armed Forces are currently conducting in Ukraine,” Dmitry Peskov noted. … Final decisive warning #48: Russia's response to the drone attack on the Kremlin must be in the interests of the country, said Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov on May 4, 2023. "Naturally, I cannot give you any details here. In any case, we can only talk about well-thought-out, balanced steps that correspond to the interests of our country." … Final decisive warning #113: Russian presidential press secretary D. Peskov said on August 26, 2024, that Kyiv's hostile actions against the Kursk region cannot go unanswered. "We are not talking about a separate decision here. Of course, such hostile actions cannot go unanswered. There will definitely be a response," Peskov explained. Final decisive warning #115: Russia will give an appropriate response if the West approves the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine for strikes on Russian territory.

There’s a difference between wanting to “sabotage” a hypothetical Trump admin’s foreign policy, and not wanting to be put in an impossible position by an admin that hires you and then doesn’t listen to you. There is an abundance of evidence from highly qualified people in his administration that Trump didn’t bother trying to prepare and understand the issues to make informed decisions, didn’t listen to their advice and instead went with people who flattered him, and so on. This is a Trump problem, not an advisor problem. |

Triumphing for the oppression of the Palestinian people and their Mujahideen
The missile force in the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a specific military operation of which it targeted a military target of the Israeli enemy in the Yafa area in occupied Palestine. The operation was carried out with a new hypersonic ballistic missile that managed in reaching its target, and the enemy's defenses systems failed to intercept and confront. It crossed a distance of 2040 km in 11 and a half minutes, and caused a state of fear and panic among the Zionists, as more than two million Zionists headed to shelters for the first time in the history of the Israeli enemy. This operation comes within the fifth round and came as a culmination of the efforts of the missile force' heros who made tremendous efforts in developing missiles technology so that it would respond to the requirements of the battle and its challenges with the Zionist enemy and succeed in reaching its objectives and bypassing all obstacles and interception systems on land and sea, including American, Israeli, and others. The geographical challenges, the American-British aggression, and the monitoring, espionage and interception systems will not prevent beloved Yemen from performing its religious, moral and humanitarian duty in solidarity with the Palestinian people. And the Israeli enemy should expect more strikes and specific operations to come as we approach the first anniversary of the blessed October 7th Operation, including responding to its criminal aggression on the city of Hodeidah, and continuous supportive operations for the oppressed Palestinian people. Sana'a 12 Rabi' al-Awwal 1446 AH September 15, 2024 AD Issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces https://t.me/army21ye/2095 The IDF stated that a preliminary examination shows that the missile from Yemen apparently disintegrated in the air. Also, during the incident, several interception attempts were made by the "Hatz" and "Iron Dome" systems, and their results are under investigation, the entire incident is being investigated. Fragments of interception fell in open areas and at a train station in the Modi'in area
At 06:21 a surface-to-surface missile was launched from Yemen towards the territory of the State of Israel. From a preliminary examination, it appears that the missile apparently disintegrated in the air. During the event, several interception attempts were made by the "Hats" and "Iron Dome" systems, the results of which are under review, alerts were activated according to policy. The whole incident is investigated
Fragments of an interception that fell in open areas and at the "Fathi Modiin" train station were identified, fire brigades are working to put out a fire that broke out in an open area near the village of Daniel

Putin about the details of the negotiations between the head of the Indian government and President Zelensky that took place in Kiev. It seems that India is acting as a mediator in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in this situation. But I repeat, India advocates negotiations exclusively on the basis of international law and the UN Charter, i.e., first and foremost, for the territorial integrity of Ukraine. CONTINUED BELOW https://t.me/blackcolonel2020/1560 On July 9, President V. Putin signed the recognition of the priority of international law and the UN Charter in these negotiations. Will he agree to the practical implementation of these principles in the upcoming negotiations? https://t.me/blackcolonel2020/1561 I don't know who Black Colonel is, but that post definitely qualifies under the proclamations against discrediting the military and other restrictions on speech/expression in Russia. Others have already gone to jail for comments like that.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Alksnis |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lieh-tzu: I'm just baffled that people loathe Trump so much they'd rather see his administration fail with serious negative repercussions for the nation. Especially for our defense/foreign policy sector, how about giving a Trump administration the best possible support because it's knows he's weak in that area? But no, everybody in the field turns their back on him, leaving him with little to choose from. Fine. Hey, Trump, put me in. Well, the same could be said about supporting the Biden administration. I'm not going to support them, because I believe they are a threat to the nation. His supporters feel the same way about Trump. |

but not to Medvezhe - our confidence level is high due to the Russian language (we're holding the line, but it's difficult, and the enemy is pulling up reserves is Russian code for we lost our positions) A couple of Russian sources are making wild claims about Ukrainian advances as far as Glushkovo Workers Camp (not Glushkovo - the village with the same name is to the southeast) NASA FIRMS is not proof - but there are a lot of heat signatures east of Veseloe and as far north as Sukhinovka NASA FIRMS still showing a lot of hot spots in Obukhovka [Korenevo] and west of Liubmovka - also not proof, but we need to acknowledge the big picture There is a lot of gray area on the map due to the uncertainty of how deep Ukraine has advanced, but you don't have to search long or hard to find Russian milbloggers starting to doom @moklasen geoed a drone strike in Sheptukhovka; we found two more in the same video We've been saying for almost 2 weeks something is brewing here, and the activity is increasing The geolocated video showing Russian VDV getting wrecked west of Liubimovka brought clarity to the line of conflict east of Snagost Finally, we know our map is more controversial south and southwest of Snagost - there was a geolocated video of a Ukrainian airstrike on a Russian position south of Komarova on the railroad line near the farm - west of 10th Oktyabr - it's a point of data, but we feel a little better about our assessment in that area UPDATE: Credit to @UAControlMap and @blinzka who geoed a Russian pickup truck getting hit by a drone between 10th Oktyabr and Apanasovka - which is the 3rd geo in 24 hours on what we believe is the LOC west of Snagost As of this writing, as Russia's counteroffensive in Kursk to Ukraine's counter-invasion enters day 6, the only Russian flag raising has been in Snagost Map is linked, geo's mentioned above on the map

Link to article. 1 min video: Akhmat's commander Apti Alaudinov said that the Ukrainians were allowing captured Chechens to call their relatives so that they could persuade Apti to exchange them. However, Apti flatly refused to exchange them, saying that this proposal "made him furious" and that real Chechens do not surrender. He called on any captured Chechen to do everything to be killed in captivity. |

Posted earlier, but clarification on the ballistic missile intercept by Israel.
So basically, since the missile was intercepted lower in the atmosphere, the broken up parts falling back to earth triggered the red alert saying a rocket attack in multiple areas was happening. This is likely a map of the debris field then.

You beat me  I for one am glad Team Biden and Lloyd didn't deal harshly with the Houthis from day 1. I'd hate to see the mayhem and escalation there would be if they actually tried to solve the problem by killing key people and breaking things in Yemen and Iran. |

At that point in November, the Houthis would have lost nothing by stopping. Now their reputation and standing in the broader Muslim world is at risk if they voluntarily drop out. As it is, any Israeli response might cut into air assets they were planning to use in the broader war on their northern front. |

Houthis are also in Syria in large numbers, massing w/ IRGC and RU elements to join the festivities in the north. Seems the IRGC forces have set up a human pipeline from Yemen into SW Syria and points beyond. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GoldenMead: Europe Has a Painful Choice: War vs. Welfare Despite promising to raise military spending, nations such as Germany are proving reluctant to sacrifice their generous welfare programs to pay for it https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/europe-has-a-painful-choice-war-vs-welfare-41e9e7f7?st=H2FJNn We are 2.5 years into this war and Europe’s military’s spending as a whole is still laughable. Outside of a few countries Europe has shown it is not very concerned about Russia and doesn’t really care if Ukraine wins. They need to play catch up for the last 30 years of underfunding, so just funding at 2% of gps isn’t going to cut it. It is beyond frustrating to watch. Most of the world is facing similar problems. In Europe, it is especially acute due to the fact that after 1989 the vast majority of European countries (with the exception to some extent of France and the UK) outsourced their defense to "NATO" (aka, "the US) while simultaneously undermining NATO in favor of the EU. The problem is that the US is also in a position, similar to Europe, where the Social Welfare state has expanded to the point it can no longer maintain it's own defense budget. This does not even touch on the fact that, in the eyes of the US public, the Europeans have not only played the Americans for suckers, but have condescendingly bragged about doing it. With just the interest on the US national debt exceeding the US defense budget, and fixin' to expand to exceed all US "discretionary" spending within the next decade or so, most Americans are tired of carrying the burden of defending what they see as an ungrateful Europe regardless of their opinion of supporting Ukraine. "Wars are started by princes and politicians, fought by Generals, Admirals, soldiers and sailors, and ended by accountants!"

It’s not an accident. I did some reading about the internal workings of his inner circle during the 2020 election crisis, and there was at least one dude that sounded pretty suspicious to me. Can’t recall his name, but he’s not a household name. I'm of the opinion that a basic and fundamental "anti-European" sentiment also comes into play with the American right these days. Simply put, many just don't care about what happens with or in Europe. Much of the European "leadership", particularly within the EU, makes it increasing difficult for Americans to care. |

Second, the 6-point communique from Brazil-China for reference: Link. Note there is no mention of respecting the UN charter or territorial integrity & sovereignty, so I don't know what this 'plan' could be a basis for anyway. |

They had, allegedly, been coordinating drone attacks with Iraqi groups as wel!, a Houthi colonel died in an air strike in Iraq about a month ago. What's kind of funny is Nasrallah told the Iranians Hezbollah didn't want any Iraqis, Syrians, Hazara Afghans, or any other "Axis" troops in Lebanon. Keep them in Syria, but don't stick us with them. Hezbollah might be evil, but all in all seem pretty squared away. Shitbirds like the Houthis, aka the Arabian Khatbillies, would just get in the way. |

Daily Ukraine map thread for Saturday 14th September 2024
Highlights: Footage of Russian forces assaulting Liubimovka in Kursk appeared. It appears repelled, but that is only 4 kilometers from the road to Koronevo. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces are still fighting near Veseloe to the west. The situation remains fluid The rest of the front remains very poor for Ukraine, with Russian advances in the Vuhledar area, Pokrovsk area and Selydove area - the town of Ukrainsk appears encircled from the north and south Map: https://uacontrolmap.com
