Today 3 Russian males, and one female was arrested in Norways Nordland provice (In Mosjøen, about half way between Ørland and Bodø air bases for those familitar.) for taking photpraghs of prohibited military installations.
No drones this time, but much camera gear and a lot of image material seized.

I think the world is getting to saturation point with the bile emanating from various Russian mouth pieces. Time to say enough is enough and corral them back in there own territory. A good summation here _ https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...bassies-russia

When was the last time anyone heard of MAZ-535 artillery tractor? Or seen one? Especially as a tank tow since used to tow the SS5 IRBM. I suppose they've saved those as well.

One wouldn't believe all the things the Russians have stored unless there'd be proof.

From the picture posted, it would appear that the pilot successfully ejected.

Another one bites the dust..... From MSN.com https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...96236fa8e160be
Nikolay Petrunin, a 46-year-old Russian multimillionaire and a close confidant of the Russian president, is no more.

The official reason by authorities was that the Gazprom executive has died as a result of complications caused by Covid. He had reportedly been in a coma for several weeks.

Petrunin was one of the most important executives at energy giant Gazprom. He was also vice-Chairman of the prestigious Energy Commission of the Russian Parliament. He was considered an extremely close ally of Putin.

Petrunin was dubbed the “gas wonderkid” of Russia. He entered politics after a career of making gas pipelines in Siberia.

His sudden death raises questions, however, with many Russians discussing his death on Telegram and social media. the war in Ukraine.

Let me try to explain what's wrong with the new wave of deployment of Russian troops in Belarus and why the threat of a new attack on Kyiv from the north is a bluff.

Pentagon eyes locking in Starlink funding for Ukraine

Elon Musk's satellite communications service could be paid for using the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.

Apart from applauding their demise, does anyone have any reasoning for this ? From recollection, most of the recently deceased were Putin supporters and related news reports didn't generally speak of any recent public attacks on Putin . So why are they dying ?

Maybe they weren't actually supporting Putin as reality hit and could see the writing on the wall?

So is providing A-10s with its Gatling gun the solution? Or just set up a screen of Phalanxes on the approaches to Kyiv and other major cities? The 21st Century solution to the AA barrier that protected London during the V1 Blitz. I wish the media would stop referring to the drones as "kamikaze". They are unmanned so no-one is giving up their life to get the thing onto its target. Putin has provided yet more evidence that he is the true Nazi in this conflict.

Arming a dead drunk Russian, thankfully they get him disarmed, love the perhaps we should give him some grenades as well sarky comment… enquires why lack of officers and told they are on paper only.. what an army. And to think we were lead to believe they were a professional army.
