Every tank is fast if you're shitting your pants trying to load an RPG-7 that you got like 15 seconds of mumbled training on.

I just hope Yuri had time to fatally flash bake one of his comrades with unannounced rocket exhaust, right before wasting his life doing fuck all to penetrate a Leopard's frontal armor.

Hello everyone. I'm from Russia, stumbled upon this forum and it's quite interesting.
Would like to comment some news, if you accept to hear something different from yours position here.

About Aleksandr Dugin - he is quite marginal person. Didn't heard about him for years. He never was popular and didn't create any significant parties or movements. His ideas was out of popular media. As for me, for many years Russian internet was mostly full of liberal discourse. And I never seen somebody argued with Dugin ideas or mentioned him.
You could see on picture how often his mentioned compared to Nikolay Starikov - popular conservative political writer and radical writer and politician Limonov.
If you check version control of article about Dugin at Wikipedia, you will find the statement about him as "brain of Putin" appeared only recently.
Also, few days before the terrorist attack one of Ukrainian news media all of sudden made a report about him. You could find youtube video "He is rule the Putin!" from Ukranian journalists and similar statements from Andreas Umland 4 weeks ago.

The information about women who supposedly did attack quite full, journalists found her family and interviewed the neighbors. All of them said she served at Ukrainian army. So, for the Russian citizens its obvious act of political terrorism. Everybody just curious why choose such insignificant target and performed so badly, leave so many traces and make great mistake, killing daughter instead of father.

I saw a discussion here about the theory that it was the work of the Russian secret services.
Tell me, please, are you discussing this version as a priority because it:
a) the Ukrainian government expressed it, you unconditionally support it
b) you would not like to think badly of a country that is a victim of aggression
c) even if Ukraine did it, you should blame Russia, because it benefits your country
d) who cares about the truth? Slava Ukraini!

Since you mentioned the truth, forget Dugan for a second, I want to see your voracity for the truth.

Is there a proliferation of Nazis in Ukraine? I ask that because it was early rationale for the war

I wonder how soon we’ll be hearing about another “gesture of goodwill” from Moscow…

That's pretty-much what I thought Putin's regime was, but it seems that it in fact has far more ideological content than that. That's why I was completely surprised that he actually went ahead with the invasion - I always thought he'd just march his forces up and down the border and then nothing would happen. Turns out that Putin has a (really rather bizarre) ideological world-view driving him, something I somehow hadn't before realised - I always thought he was just that sort of mafia boss type.

Interesting article on the first few days and the abortive attempt at Kyiv

Commander of the Georgian Legion, Mamuka Mamulashvili, said when his unit ran out of ammunition, he started running Russian paratroopers over with his car.

“We had no more bullets. I ran them over in my BMW,” Mamulashvili proudly chuckled. “I can show you the dents in my BMW if you want.”

By late afternoon or early evening, what remained of an estimated several hundred Russian paratroopers, had fled into the nearby neighborhoods and surrounding forest.

Next US aid package





Artillery fired anti-tank mines is a new one I think.

Ukrainians appear to be cranking though the AGM-88s which would explain the wide operation of many Ukrainian drones above the Russians in Kherson.

The Poles are buying enough arms to show themselves to Moscow if Putin decides to attack. The below is in addition to their rather large domestic weapons procurements.

Lately they have ordered (at least):

500 M142 HIMARS trucks (and related munitions including ATACMS)
1000 K2 tanks
700 K9 155mm SPHs
32 F-35s
50 FA-50s
250 M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 tanks
6 Patriot batteries
An undisclosed quantity of Javelins.

and now:
