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

Think Lindsey will change his mind again and go golfing with Putin? 
I post what I think people will find interesting about the war and I find a skilled pilot saving his plane interesting.
"At the Berga military base, the participants were able to see examples of equipment to be donated to Ukraine. Among other things, a combat exercise was carried out with Stridsbåt 90."
Estonia’s domestic security agency said on Tuesday that it had apprehended 10 people suspected of sabotage and of spreading fear and creating tension within the Baltic country in a coordinated "hybrid operation" by Russia’s special services.Among the suspects — detained between December and February — are individuals believed to have broken the car windows of Interior Minister Lauri Läänemets and a local journalist in December, the Estonian Internal Security Service said."The information currently collected in criminal proceedings indicate that the Russian special service had coordinated a hybrid operation against the security of the Republic of Estonia, involving the suspects that have been detained," it said. "To the knowledge of the Estonian Internal Security Service, its aim was to spread fear and create tension in Estonian society."ESTONIAN PM KALLAS ADDED TO WANTED LIST BY RUSSIA OVER REMOVAL OF SOVIET-ERA MONUMENTSEstonia’s relations to neighboring Russia have remained icy ever since its independence in 1991. As a legacy of the Soviet Union, the country of 1.3 million, which is now a member of NATO and the European Union, has a sizable ethnic Russian minority.According to State Prosecutor Triinu Olev, the suspects have been detained pending the results of an investigation into criminal proceedings.Security officials said the suspects held a variety of roles in Estonia, depending on instructions from their Russian handlers. Some of them focused on collecting information, while others planned attacks that were also carried out, officials said.ESTONIAN PM KALLAS, A STAUNCH UKRAINE ALLY, UNDER FIRE OVER HUSBAND'S RUSSIAN BUSINESS LINKSThe head of the Estonian security service, Margo Palloson, said that some of the suspects who are believed to have vandalized undisclosed memorials were recruited through social media."As procedural acts are currently being carried out to verify the suspicion and ascertain important facts, it is not possible to discuss these incidents in further detail," the security agency said.Moscow has maintained high interest in the internal affairs of Estonia and its Baltic neighbors Latvia and Lithuania, particularly on security and military matters after all three countries joined NATO and the EU in 2004.
Some arrived last year so I assume these are in addition to those.

It would be more bad news if they were pushed back across the river though the force on the left bank appears to be small anyway.
For the all of the gloom lately, Russia sure is still reported to be suffering huge losses, on a daily basis.
You have to wonder if these hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers killed or captured would have been avoided if the House GOP would have extended the aide in December, rather than nothing since.

In Chaotic Retreat, Hundreds of Ukrainian Troops Feared Captured or Missing
Hundreds of Ukrainian troops may have been captured by advancing Russian units or disappeared during Ukraine’s chaotic retreat from the eastern city of Avdiivka, according to senior Western officials and soldiers fighting for Ukraine, a devastating loss that could deal a blow to already...
This is pretty cool...lot's of things changing in warfare due to this war.
A Ukrainian firm has developed a portable signal-jamming device that can defeat Russian drones and is small enough to be carried in a backpack.
The system, which has two protruding antennas, severs the connection between a Russian FPV (first-person view) drone and its operator, causing the drone to fall short of its intended target.
The "anti-drone gun" blocks six different channels of communication, such as GPS.
Russian forces have been saturating the frontline with FPV drones.
They try to jump frequencies in an attempt to prevent their attack drones from being jammed, so the Ukrainians try to cover those frequencies to ensure as few as possible manage to get through to their target.
In one test carried out by the developer, an operator was given a friendly drone to neutralise.
They pointed the device in the direction of the drone, after which it began to wobble in the air before falling to the ground in just a few seconds.
The device has an operating range that can sometimes be as far as 700 metres, although Russian drones are typically being downed around 250 metres from their target.

The device has been miniaturised so it's now man-portable, making it more flexible and more difficult for enemy forces to counter.
I don't think we've realized how much this war has basically changed things fundamentally in regards to warfare.
The Houthi's have used sea drones provided by Iran...they've used air drones quite a bit. A major power like the US or China flooding the zone with autonomous drones really changes the equation.
Houthi's able to cause a ruckus in the Red Sea with limited means.
I hope we're on top of this.

+1 Moscow party boy, although someone beat me to it. We need to add a tab for Russians linked to Putin who die under mysterious circumstances.

These are the weapons originally designed to clear mine fields.

I'd figured they'd hit 405K or so by the 2nd Year Anniversary of the invasion.
Here we are...
The comparison by DJT of himself to Navalny got me thinking.
What if they met the same fate?
Fun to think about.

Being poisoned by Putin in a Russian gulag?
Would love to see how the 2024 or 2025 season ends with THAT one!!!
I was more referring to them both ending up "horizontal".
Huge FWIW but may explain, as some of us wondered, if this is why so many Russian aircraft are falling out of the sky.
