Shocking developments in the last few weeks.
Should definitely unify all anti Russian factions.
Now...more attacks inside Moscow.

Completely insane fight, which took place on 30th of April 2024. Two soldiers of 4th National Guard Rapid reaction brigade "Rubizh" defends own position near Spirne village (Siversk direction). In the first attack Russians could land into crater - during the skirmish most of them were killed and wounded, but one of UKR soldiers was also killed by enemy FPV. Single defender still fight with support of drones and rare mortar/AGS fire - they repelled four more attacks, when one Russian sqaud was landing by one and approaching to position until reinforcement arrived and cleaned the trench, were Russians already had a time to leak.
Totaly 23 Russian soldiers were killed and 2 wounded (UKR drones dropped grenades and finished off survivors), one MTLB was destroyes, three otehr light armor were damaged. We lost one soldier Danylo Biliuk. In his honor 4th brigade issued now the video about this fight

It also carries the largest diameter glide bombs.
Most importantly, they haven't built anymore of these in 30 years.
I admit it - I laughed despite myself (end of video),
$40 billion?
Do you ever question some of the bullshit you post?
I am smart enough to know about typos and automated translation problems.

It didn’t mention units, so maybe it’s 40 billion rubles.
I remember as an 8 year old in Italy seeing a toy that cost 64,000 Lira.
Then my dad bought this beautiful alabaster chess set, and the price was 1.34 million Lira.
It was something like $800 USD.
My little mind was blown. I had to understand how this had happened to their currency.
The part about Ukraine attacking the reactor is BS so maybe this whole thing is.
You’re right, I read right past.
I don’t know how you put a price on something they built under communism and can’t even make anymore.
This version shows 40 million so probably was a typo or automated translation mistake.
Hope it is one end of the bridge.

They're continuing to strike Ukrainian infrastructure with missiles and Shahed drones every day. But they can only produce so many missiles per month. Not enough to have a large strike every day. So they have to moderate the scale of most strikes so they can build up their missile stockpiles enough to launch a large strike every once in a while.
edit: From the August 14th ISW report it looks like the strike on the night of August 13th to 14th consisted of two Kh-59/69 cruise missiles and 23 Shahed drones.
Re ukrainian infrastructure: There is currently a huge demand for high voltage transformer parts from Ukraine. I got involved only by chance - high voltage is not my usual branch but the requirement documents passed over my desk. The pieces are huge - more than 1 ton of weight for 324kV transformers components.
I know some components will come from Germany, but because production here is expensive, there are plans to import them from China and re-export to Ukraine. Chinese companies are happy to sell to European companies, no matter whether the parts end up in Ukraine or not. Plan is to get the Ukrainian plants back running before winter.

Did you send flowers to the families of the crew members?
Go proof read some Trump comments in one of the threads about him, Comrade.
So many possibilities. Crew fatigue, airframe fatigue, drunken ground crew… Whatever, it’s one less platform to launch missiles against hospitals and schools.
I'm hoping as Biden enters the last days of his Presidency that he promotes much more aggressive actions by Ukraine and weapons transfers that allow for even deeper attacks inside Russia.
Fingers crossed!
Fingers crossed!
Looks like this one shows how the border post above get to look like that-decimated.

Amazing seeing how many of the internal defensive troops are giving up and surrendering ASAP. Makes me think the stories of the fodder in the frontlines unable to surrender due to risking being killed by their rear guard are true. That and they are on a lot of drugs.
No one is writing these articles or posts, people are just linking them. Obviously, one plane does not cost 40b, and we are sophisticated consumers of this information. So chill the f$ck out.
They need a POW line. Hearing over 2500 from their invasion now.
I’m also not sure all of the damaged planes on the ground in Russia are being counted. We might get a huge update on them all at one time, or maybe none at all.
Agree.
One thing I've always wondered about in regards to reports on the war and translation...what exactly constitutes a "settlement". Is that the translation for "villages"? They always report 4 "settlements" taken...not sure what a more accurate English translation would be. Whats the size of the population that would constitute a "settlement".
3 houses grouped together? Who knows
I’m still trying to figure out what exactly an oblast is!Agree.

I think it's a rough translation of the state equivalent in the old USSR....or region.
Freeport is a settlement.Agree.
