Reference #8575… Is Ukraine about to have a war?

Remarkable If👇checks out. This would be the most noteworthy displays yet of Ukrainian DEAD capability deep into enemy territory. To have one of your modern Air Defense systems harmed like this would be quite humiliating…..

According to Russia, a Oniks anti ship cruise missile malfunctioned and hit their own radar 🤣….

Wasn't there a test of US systems a few years ago when the test aircraft overflew the radar system which didn't detect it?

All this social media. Isn't it bad news for the Ukranians to be telling the Russians what kit they are using? Or is it all academic?

The Russians know they’ve got it, and their helos have no defence against it.

In that regard it’s great psychops against Russian aircrew…

I’m reminded of a a dogfight many years ago which went something alongs the lines of:

”Fox 1” - “Chaff and Flare, Chaff & Flare, continue”..

”Fox 2” - “Chaff and Flare, Chaff & Flare, continue”..

“Fox 3, Chaff and Flare that you b…….rd”

(In the days before AMRAAM when Fox 3 was guns)

Everyone knew they had it, its probably GTFO already. Its kinda the opposite, patriotism kicks in and the country that sent feels proud and could more willing to supply more or other hardware

Putin does the hitlers. Shoigu thrown under bus and military leaders are reporting directly to Putler from now on.

"Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu is now being side-lined within the Russian leadership, with operational commanders briefing President Putin directly on the course of the war."

So how heavy does the shelling have to be to induce shell shock?
Are we seeing levels similar to WW1?

Modern day term is post traumatic stress disorder. Hasn't necessarily got anything to do with shelling per se or its intensity, can be triggered by multitude of things.

Please excuse the 'source' ... apparently fighting over loot!

VLADIMIR PUTIN is facing a critical breakdown in military discipline and cohesion after Russian special forces became embroiled in a firefight with Wagner militia members.

Reports suggest that a bitter dispute broke out between a Russian Spetsnaz unit and Wagner fighters over the division of war loot, which ended in a "bloody firefight".

There seems to be a major action taking place in Kherson. Lots of tweets of attacks and counter-attacks, artillery and HIMARS action.

Commentators trying to play things down, but worth keeping an eye on.

Dogs can and do get PTSD for a number of reasons, many of them paralleling those that cause PTSD in humans.

As an example, many military search dogs deployed to Afghanistan etc have shown symptoms of PTSD.

When you think how dogs react to fireworks, artillery must petrify them.

agree about Kherson, locals told to start to hoard food in shelters etc and reports of it ramping up.


As Putin is now taking total control, I wonder when he will start moving fictitious forces around his maps like Hitler.

Just now - Russian fighter in Ukraine Anatoliy Dryomov - "there is a big risk to lose Kherson, many losses among ours".

Russian state affiliated media reporting a mass evacuation was ordered in Russian controlled Nova Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast.

Update on the bridge on 27th looks likely they will struggle to use it.
