Their front line stuff is aging Russian stuff. This should calm the fears when every couple of months Lukashenko implies they will attack from the north in order to keep Ukraine wary, thereby tying up needed troops. Not to discount a northern invasion, but Belarus isn't getting involved. Lukashenko knows he is overthrown as soon as he intervenes.
Are Russian troops who are taken prisoner counted somewhere? Seems like there have been a lot recently, more than the numbers for casualties.
Supposedly around 2,000 from the Kursk offensive.
It's a seemingly small point, but notice how the Ukrainian soldiers all appear to be well supplied with decent uniforms and boots. I don't know the providence of the video, but you see guys of all ages, and a few of them are a little chunky, but they have the same uniform and functional boots. on. The Russians we see are wearing mismatched gear. Boots that look like that's what the guy was wearing while shoveling out a hog barn when the "recruiters", came to get him. Crappy running shoes. I think it's worth noting.
I think that's no small detail. It is fairly representational of this whole war and that entire corrupt country. Putin makes appearances in $10,000 dollar High Street overcoats while peasants from the Urals are given third rate Chinese crap because their commanders siphoned off OLED TV money for their dacha.
SOCOM Col. noticed someone weird loitering and taking pictures on his property. He called the police and continued to watch the guy.
By by Chechen.
The US may waiver if there is a leadership change, but it seems like the Poles are gearing up to be a solid bulwark against Russian aggression.
Their entire navy isn't as big as the sortie that went to the Falklands.
Like in the olden days, no. I have Google lurked and they built the aircraft carriers in Scotland. The most recent photos show one of them laid up in dry dock at Rosyth.
We are. If you Google lurk the north end of the naval base at Port Hueneme you can see one of the drone ships in port. They call it the "Ray", or something like that, for obvious reasons given its shape.
