Ecce Homo! Loquitur...

Meanwhile his cooker will have packed up long ago due to the lack of Western spares to pump the gas from the refinery, and his Internet will be cut off from the West forcing him too listen to Margarita Simonyan on the only radio station still permitted, telling them all they will be better dead than happy.
Gen Ben Hodges talks to Jake Broe ( YouTuber ) about the whole war
45 minutes of very interesting insight from the former commander of US troops in Europe.
Surprised the captured T90M is in service with Ukraine, One would have thought it would have been shipped elsewhere for examination.

I agree,to study it is to learn it’s weak points and introduce work arounds that far outweigh the operational effect of one tank and it aids you being able to kill others of the type with your current fleet.. All I can think is they maybe captured more than one, and the other was kept quiet and whisked away to interested parties..

Very interesting point that General Hodges makes about the "weaponization of refugees" at about minute 26.
See also at about minute 32 "Russia has a China problem"
TF, thank you for that link/video.

More on our winter of discontent as we burn down our forests to keep warm.
De nada. hombre. It hadn't immediately occurred to me, but there might be a direct link to the Poland/Kaliningrad fence there.

There has been a lot of posts about Russian concrete bunkers being placed in Kherson on both the left & right bank of the Dnipro river.
In this 🧵we will examine Russia's "Concrete theater" against some hard reality taken from this US Army Engineer branch technical report.

The thing with an Army Langley is oddly enough, they issue orders not requests..
Yes, I noticed that when I was S Met O 1BR Corps.
However, military history is rich with examples of units holding non-inventory items, it certainly would not be the first time that the chain of command was kept in the dark, or turned a blind eye.
One account I recently read is of a Mountain battery, British India, with a complete "spare gun", brand new, built from indented parts, and hidden from inspection awaiting the day it was needed against Japan.
In the current case, if I were CO regiment fighting for survival, I might take a short term view The analogy is a Conqueror among Centurions and a Firefly among Shermans.
The Bde commander [or however UKR organises] needs to know about the trophy to issue what would be a very sensible order.
What really is astonishing is the naiivety of people who swallow this guff and don't recognise its reality as pure propaganda!
Bejasus!

CNN: 1,300 Starlinks in Ukraine go offline due to funding issues.
Ukraine’s fears that its military will lose access to the Starlink internet service deepened after 1,300 satellite units went offline, CNN reported, citing two anonymous sources familiar with the issue.
