There was a recent story that info on the blown up pipeline was not being shared with all NATO members.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...
- Thread starter Nole Lou
- Start date
I wouldn’t tell Turkey much at all.
For some reason I thought we had sent these right away. Looks like they were sent at end of September.
Maybe NATO worried about Belarus actually doing something. Or maybe give earlier warning of missile launches?
Impressive.
Back in February you didn't even know what a stinger missile was, now you're an expert in USN fleet/carrier strength.
Amazing what twitter can do.

Turkey was kicked out of the F-35 program for a reason...
Turkey officially kicked out of F-35 program, costing US half a billion dollars
"The F-35 cannot coexist with a Russian intelligence collection platform that will be used to learn about its advanced capabilities," the White House said.

TESTS per article FWIW.
"Vladimir Putin's tried to detonate a nuke but his plans were "sabotaged", an insider has claimed.
Top brass at the Kremlin are “sabotaging” his plans to use atomic weapons or there may be issues due to technical failures, it is claimed.
In recent days, there have been a series of NOTAM messages (Notice to air missions) and linked Russian navigation warnings indicating tests or live firing drills.
So far, there has been few indications of any major testing, although the final date for such disruption in the Barents Sea is October 22.
At the same time there are claims that earlier this month Putin ordered two nuclear missile tests which did not in fact take place.
Valery Solovey, an expert on the president and former professor at Moscow’s prestigious Institute of International Relations [MGIMO], a training school for spies and diplomats said: “[Putin’s] decision on the use of tactical nuclear weapons [in the Ukraine conflict] would no doubt face resistance."

No. Skipped today probably because they are in the middle of a dark period for reporting. It was last at 66,280, expecting well into 67,000 if they release it tomorrow.
Old tech. The British built giant parabolic dishes out of concrete during WW2 and placed them on their coasts to collect the sounds of approaching Luftwaffe bombers, and triangulate their course and speed.
Now, imagine applying that to 21st century tech, manufacturing, materials, miniaturization....
Like I said: you could get a nearly 100% hit rate, with fairly basic engineering work and mods to old anti-aircraft systems...
Won't work on high-speed stuff, but slow noisy drones are like shooting fish in a barrel.

Someone needs to ask Elon for it because his team of scientists and engineers could probably design this in a day or two.
There is solid reporting that any Conservative party PM in the UK would be supportive of Ukraine. That is their official position, as is that of the Labour Party.
But, yeah, today's GQP is worrisome. They will start to tie further arms and support measures to insane s***.
Look, I'm going to tell you guys once again. This is a retread handle. It is his MO to go into every single thread and muddy it up. Stop responding to him. He double and triples down because he's jerking it to the attention.
Meh. The Ukrainians are pretty good at hitting Russians all snug and comfy in their trenches and bunkers.
Not sure how good they are in contested river crossings. Guess we’ll see.
Not even sure they have enough bridging equipment.

The narrative that they are there to rid Ukraine of Nazis doesn't support an action like this. This is the stuff that strengthens the resolve of other European nations.
FWIW Germany has delivered 7 medium and heavy bridging systems with 13 more on order. Don't know when one would use these vs pontoon bridges but there was a story from September talking about how the average Ukraine pontoon bridge during the offensive lasted only 24 hours. But Ukraine would then quickly build another one.

You may remember the video of a Ukraine soldier saving this trapped Russian.
No Weapons if they do not turn over Hillary's emails, Hunter Biden's laptop, and the Russia dossier documents....
This guy is old enough to have served in WWII.
Given he’s Russian, I’m guessing early 40s.
It looks more and more like they may plan on simply flooding the entire area. I'm afraid their goal is to wait until the Ukranian army moves in and then blow the damn hoping to catch them all in an unescapable flood.
