Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Close quarters fighting.
Ukrainian APC taking on Russian armour with a top-mounted 30 mil. Note in the second clip how the operator fires under the Russian APC to take out the dismounted infantry behind. Brutal
Elon Musk has challenged Putin to a fight - 1 on 1. The winner decides the future of Ukraine.
Whilst the idea is ridiculous, not least because Musk does not speak for Ukraine or its people in any way whatsoever, I think this might be fun to watch because you just know he has an Iron Man suit...

This must be the BMW Export Model lol
NutLoose:
Called the BMW local dealer.
He said he can't get one of those as they are on back order.
Since he was asking an awful lot for the Ma Deuce option, I think it was out of my budget anyway.

I hope they deactivated the turn signals , some BMWs come with the option of brain activated turns signals , so you now if you do not see a signal there is no brain activity in the zombie driving .

I was chatting with a good friend (from childhood who went on to serve in various parts of the British Army) earlier today over WhatsApp, who is currently 'somewhere in Ukraine'.
He was always an exceptional shot (we both shot at Bisley a fair bit in our youth but he was naturally talented) and he is, once again, making use of said talent....
He remarked that Russian troops seem to be obsessed with saluting their officers.
Are Russian troops terrified of not paying compliments or are they 'fragging' their officers courtesy of the opposition?
It may explain why the Russians keep losing senior officers....

US spies are investigating mystery 'satellite sabotage attack' that began as Russia invaded Ukraine (thesun.co.uk)
SPACE WARS
Western spies are said to be trying to identify the hackers that conducted the attack at the same time as Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
1The cyberattack affected how people in Ukraine could communicate when Russia invadedCredit: GettyAccording to IT News, "three people with direct knowledge" of the attack revealed the investigation.
Investigators include the US National Security Agency, French cyber security firm ANSSI and Ukrainian intelligence.
They're trying to find out whether the hackers were supported by the Russian government.
Experts have suggested the satellites were attacked so that it was difficult for Ukraine's military to communicate during the initial Russian invasion.
The Russian invasion started in the early hours of February 24.
The cyberattacks coincided with this.
Tens of thousands are people were said to be affected by the lack of broadband.
US telecommunications company Viasat saw its KA-SAT satellite targetted

From following what is showing on FR24 it is clear that the Brit tanker, transport and RJ crews must be working their socks off, plus, of course the assets that do not show up there. Good luck to them all, and I hope this might all concentrate a few senior minds on what is important to a war fighting organisation and what isn’t.
It seems that Ukraine will employ their strategic weapon now:
Бездоріжжя
(Russian: распу́тица).

Doesn't change the fact that Putin's an arsehole though.
Re the Musk vs Putin fixture. Luckily, at least one of them has a sense of humo(u)r.
