This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

"Good morning, Viet Nam!!!!!!! It's Sunday and the body knows it, once yesterday's technical problems have been overcome, if they blocked my account... the same as always... Well, we started we went hunting "Glory to Ukraine !!!!!!!

 
Awesome repurpose of what should be a relatively available (especially in the now NATO formerly Warsaw Pact nations) rocket pod. This is an ammo type that those nations should be able to provide easily too.
AFVs in Ukraine are being used already in indirect fire roles, with improvements to their fire control for that purpose. Turning BMP-1s into mini Katyusha’s is genius.


Hard to tell in that grainy video, but I’m assuming they were correcting fire.
Still don’t understand why they setup the fire control in the back blast, but it did seem to be pretty minimal.
 
If they invade your country for no reason, rape your women, murder your elderly, kidnap and deport your citizens and commit massive amounts of war crimes, call them whatever you want.

Is that ok with you?
I get why all the victims of those crimes feel that way toward their perpetrators. I think it’s normal and natural.
What I shy from is watching whole societies apply those labels to whole societies.
That’s what I read Washington’s warning about.
Don’t think all Germans are Hitler forever.

Or to put it another way:

If [blacks] invade your property for no reason, rape your women, murder your elderly, rob your stores and commit massive amounts of crimes, call them whatever you want.

I find that kind of thinking scary and dangerous. I hope you can see why. It’s not a defense of actual criminals.

Not linking, but I will paraphrase an article in The Economist this week. The easiest of the counter offensives are over for Ukraine. They are now getting to territory that Russia has had 8 years to flush out Ukrainians. The Donbas and Crimea have been purged of Ukrainians, and offensive action will be met with active resistance, unlike the action of the last few months where Ukrainians could count on support and intel from the locals. And, will there be less overt support from the West as the Ukrainians inch closer to Russia? Clearly Russia isn't really threatened by an invasion, but will Putin use incursions into Russia as an excuse to lob a nuke into Ukraine?
The Ukrainians seem determined to retake Crimea, but that peninsula is a literally a graveyard for invading armies. The best action right now seems to be a thrust to the Sea of Azov that will cut the Russian forces into two main groups, and eliminating a land bridge from Russia to Crimea.
