It said in the x comment that the 90 got the first shot, it was loaded and fired (hit?) first, just got dusted before it could do anything after apparently.Somebody in that tank forgot to load up on ammo before heading out and was too embarrassed to admit it. I mean, that right there is just as legit as any other reason for why a T-90 cannot beat a Bradley in a face to face duel given how low Putin has to go to put fresh meat out for the Ukrainian troops to dine on. Or maybe, just maybe the Russians are so short on ammo the tank crew was told to go out to the line and try to scare the Ukrainians into surrendering.
@Young Grasshopper Since you seemed so concerned about military recruiting in Ukraine. What are your thoughts about this?
Russia's 104th Airborne Assault Division in occupied Ukraine: Conscripts got stripped naked, thrown into a hole, and ordered to f*ck each other. This is what the fascists do to their own.
Oh, there's probably at least a dozen or so others. Lapdog for one.I wish we could do a better job of helping Ukrainian SpecOPs put a bullet in the back of Putin's. Or more likely bomb fragments. He’s the only orc I really, really want dead.

True, but I said 'really, really'.Oh, there's probably at least a dozen or so others. Lapdog for one.
And some Blackhawks would be nice. UA could put together an Air Cav Battalion over time.Ukraine interested in the A-10, likely to supplement their worn Su-25 fleet. Obviously they can't loiter over the front line but certainly could be used in low level rocket attacks (including with APKWS) and also as bomb trucks for SDB and JDAM-ER.
Edit: they's also like the AH-1 Cobra. There are a hundred AH-1Ws sitting in the Arizona desert not doing anything we could give them.

Another heating main gone in Russia, this time in Lipetsk. Russia is falling apart.
Well, they already have at least 3 from the Royal Navy, but more would undoubtedly be helpful:Yeah, their Mi fleet is only going to last so long. Even if not Blackhawks we have a bunch of surplus Sea Kings.
3 factors from my understanding. Long term neglect (some of the main lines that have broken dates from the mid-70s), lack of skilled workers (some have been drafted, others have gone into the arms industry) and finally, lack of money over the last few years. The war is all, civilian infrastructure is 'unimportant'.Do these heating mains have some help in their unscheduled disassemblies?
I believe the first outage was a failed 50 year old pipe. Ruzzians don't seem to value infrastructure.Do these heating mains have some help in their unscheduled disassemblies?
Nitter needs to fix their darn SSL certificates. My browser won’t let me go there.I can't help but wonder if the current extreme cold front is a Black Swan event for Putin. Something like a million people in Moscow region is without heating atm. And its not just in the Moscow region;
Then there is also the Way Back Home movement of the soldiers wives. Seems their gatherings are getting larger and larger and apparently soldiers have told the FSB point blank that they would be leave the front lines and come back home if their wives are arrested.
The wife seen escorted away by police in the video above was apparently released shortly after.
Putin is between a rock and a hard place on this issue of rotation. Simply not enough soldiers and imagine all these soldiers to come home and tell all their friends exactly what is happening on the front lines.
Russia is cracking. Slowly by surely.
If you can see twitter just change the nitter.net to twitter.com,Nitter needs to fix their darn SSL certificates. My browser won’t let me go there.
What the fucking hell is that thing? IRONCLAD???Very nearly looks like they did.
SourceSince 2022, Wildberries helped police to mass-arrest employees and forcibly recruit them. They pushed personnel out of the offices and warehouses into streets, where police waited for them, and arrested for the army. It was a well-known practice. Only in September 2022, Wildberries delivered 3,000 slave soldiers to the army, so many, that their warehouse in Koledino, Moscow region, could not function anymore. According to rumours, today's fire in Petersburg was set by employees who were furious about the plans of their slave owners to sell them to the army.
Source"It turned out that the warehouse of one of the country's largest marketplaces, which burned down in St. Petersburg on Saturday, was built illegally, the building was not put into operation. "
...
In addition, a source in the Ministry of Emergency Situations said that the warehouse that burned down in Shushary had never been checked by the fire inspectorate."
...
The rescue department suggests that the cause of the fire could be faulty wiring.
Maybe some Orcs will get to live, if they manage to kill their leaders before their leaders kill them.Russia: Wildberries employees burned down the 100,000m² (25 acres) warehouse in Saint Petersburg in response to Putin's fascist raids at the location earlier today
I believe they are targeted 'new' Russians... ie recent immigrants, which normal Russians just don't care about. They are also trying to get more prisoners to sign up by turning off the heating in prisons during the current cold snap.Mass conscripting in St Pete’s and Moscow region implies Putin has mostly exhausted the regional ethnic minorities - and is secure or desperate enough to risk unrest at home
