Indeed, rather like Hitler in his bunker..
it’s getting Muddy, a cracking picture if it wasn’t for the fact it’s a war.

Now saying let's send 20,000,000 troops to Ukraine if thats what's needed, judging by the current state of affairs they will be dressed in locally produced clogs and sack cloth while armed with catapults.

For finding methods of removing what support he has, Vlad is quite adept.
Reported by BBC:
Vlad "I'm always thinking of the lives lost... " [Lord Farquad: but that's a cost I am willing to bear]
"But it is worth it for the benefits that [the Special Military Operation] it gives us..." [does Vlad have shares in funeral parlors, or body bag manufacturing?]

Australia sending 300 of these puppies to Ukraine. 300 of them.
Flying mines DefendTex D40 - small, but capable of destroying anything, even tanks - Technology Org
Just read that another 30 are going as well.

Here's a link to a pretty good daily update of military action. Posted by a Ukrainian and includes decent maps explaining fronts, rail and road connections, etc.

Tabs please !
Denys is not just a commentator, he's an A320 pilot too.
If Vlad still needs fodder then he should look around the beaches and pools of Cyprus! I'm on holiday here and there are plenty of military aged males lounging about dreaming of the fatherland.

Russian Ambassador to Ireland, Yuri Filatov has warned that if Ireland trains the Ukrainian military in mine and IED disposal/clearing as planned next month, it will be seen as a Ireland becoming directly involved in the conflict. Nice guy.
One of the few thing Ireland can actually do well militarily is mine/bomb disposal thanks to experiences during The Troubles in NI.

Was a time that Yuri would be getting a call giving him 5 minutes to vacate...

Solovyada yada could spend some time reflecting on matters like that, before he goes down on the SS Putanic, as a true sycophant.

Bar being incredibly small and looking like they are very light, isn't it nice of the Russians to have cast lifting eyes in them, so you can simply hook a line through a row and tow them out of the way with your tank.. as they are not sunken into the ground I would imagine a bulldozer would just shove them out of the way as well. Dragons teeth or milk teeth?
Also spot the deliberate error....
A closer look
The Russians in excavating the anti tank trench have stacked all the soil removed from the said trench on the Ukrainian side, so all the Ukrainians need to do is push it back into the hole. You just couldn't make this sh*t up. if they had stacked in on the Russian side it would have meant the Ukrainians would have needed to ramp in and out of the trench then climb over the pile, but now they just need to backfill with the readily Russian supplied correct amount of dirt using a bulldozer blade equipped tank..

Errmm I think a tank would just squash them. The idea is to prevent a tank rolling over them.

I think you will find that the IEDs were laid in Northern Ireland and not Eire and therefore the task fell on the British Army to deal with them.
These may be Wagner markers delineating where the impregnable Maginot Line will eventually be.
