So that pilot that I said probably shot his crew, Kuzminov? According to him he tried to talk his crew into defecting too, trusted they'd leave him alone while flying as he was the only one who could fly. Kinda ballsy. Planned it over 6 months.
"I was calming the guys down I told them everything was fine, that good people live here and everything will be great. But they started to get scared and behave themselves a bit aggressively, and they ran from the helicopter towards the border,” Reception party supposedly gave them the option to surrender, but when they didn't...
“There are no fascists or Nazis here… What is happening now is just a genocide of the Ukrainian people,” Kuzminov said in a video released this week by Ukrainian intelligence. “Nobody wants this war. When Ukraine will win is just a question of time,” he said.
He wants to join the Ukrainian AF and help. Respect. I wonder if he got paid for the chopper
A Russian helicopter pilot who defected to Ukraine last year in a secret operation has been found dead in Spain, according to the main military intelligence agency in Kyiv.
Reports in Russian and Spanish media on Monday said Maksim Kuzminov was found dead after allegedly moving to the town of Villajoyosa in Alicante on the Mediterranean coast, in an area popular with holidaymakers. His body was discovered last Tuesday, it was said, on the car park ramp underneath an apartment block.

Dude had his friends murdered, and collected a 500k check. Hope it was worth it ‘Maskim’.
I feel bad for the guy but he did the world a favor by killing a few more orcs.This guy is now dead:

As a lover of peace think of it this way - those orcs he killed are two fewer orcs to start a new war with. Aren’t you happy?
I feel bad for him as he killed some orcs and anyone who does that is just helping the rest of us out.I don't feel bad for the guy.. he had a few months in Spain before meeting his maker vs just meeting his maker in a meatgrinder.
Seems he was the smart one!
SourceToday, the Honourable Bill Blair, Minister of National Defence, announced that Canada will donate more than 800 SkyRanger R70 multi-mission Unmanned Aerial Systems to Ukraine.
The more than 800 drones, sourced from Teledyne FLIR in Waterloo, Ontario, have automated and autonomous navigation systems, enabling them to carry various camera systems and payloads to detect and identify targets. These capabilities will help Ukrainian operators to recognize individuals, vehicles and any heat source from a long distance, especially in dark conditions and poor weather. This multi-rotor drone is one of the best of its kind in the world, and can handle a variety of payloads up to 3.5 kilograms, including munitions.

Ukraine had plenty of weapons during the battle of Bakhmut. Still lost. Going to blame Trump for that one too? You can give them unlimited arms. It won’t translate to getting any territory back.
Time to wrap this thing up boys before Ukraine loses Odessa and Kiev.
(CNN) — Russia is entering its third year of war in Ukraine with an unprecedented amount of cash in government coffers, bolstered by a record $37 billion of crude oil sales to India last year, according to new analysis, which concludes that some of the crude was refined by India and then exported to the United States as oil products worth more than $1 billion.
US is an net exporter of oil based products, so it was probably just low quality shit they see no value in producing domestically.https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/19/europe/russia-oil-india-shadow-fleet-cmd-intl?cid=ios_app
So let me get this straight. Russia has an ‘unprecedented’ amount of cash on hand due to Russian oil sales to India. India then refines that oil and sells it back to the United States? Am I reading that right? How does it feel to financially supporting Putin guys?
You can’t make this stuff up.

Something stinks in Poland.
They must have nearly as many useful idiots serving Russia as the United States does.
This sort of effort to blockade Ukraine helps Russia prepare the battlefield.
If Democracies cannot deal with their own people, they will be easy pickings for Vlad the Butcher.
Thanks to this effort, someday the Poles may know what it is like to be Ukrainian. Then the (few) survivors will speak Russian again.
Re-Arm LMAO. Remind me again which country in this conflict is the one begging for weapons? Which country is begging the world to get rearmed?
🤡
“Truckers”. I mean. Fuck you truckers.Something stinks in Poland.

At which point do you feel you got fucked up? Post 40 with no prospects? Late onset incelism? Forgot to create a family that would love you back? You know, it’s like growing a cocaine addiction in your 50ies, its just not cool. Life passed you by. Noone cares. Shut the fuck up and die in silence. Please.Ukraine had plenty of weapons during the battle of Bakhmut. Still lost. Going to blame Trump for that one too? You can give them unlimited arms.

Ukraine plans to ramp up container service to/from the Danube ports via Romania to further avoid overland shipments.
https://maritime-executive.com/arti...d-container-shipping-service-for-danube-ports
It would be nice if they could get the major container lines to service the Black Sea ports again. The Russians don't appear interested at all in interdicting the traffic due to their own vulnerability.
Russia was not prepared to lose their fleet to drones.The Russians don't appear interested at all in interdicting the traffic due to their own vulnerability.
