Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Another irony is the bottom line on the plaque, it says: "SKY WILL BE SUBDUED BY THE STRONG ONES"
Apparently the UAF wins more and more upper hand in this conflict and any dream of Russian air superiority is over. This plaque is quite symbolic.

You couldn't make this up: a photo of an Ukrainian Su-27 was put as the background on the memorial plaque of a deceased Russian pilot.

I’d be interested to hear how they think the AFU are managing to do that in occupied territory…
Russians are going to blow up the Kakhovka HPP dam.
According to the General Staff, the occupiers ordered the residents of Beryslav to leave the city by November 10.
The invaders call the main reason for the evacuation "the undermining of the Kakhov dam by the AFU."

A little late to reply to this , but I hardly think Beryslav would be affected by the Kahkova dam being blown substantially downstream of the city. I did speak with someone in Beryslav yesterday morning and they told that russian tanks were currently destroying buildings on the outskirts, and the actual 'advice' from the soldiers was to leave the town by the 12th , after which the town will be razed. No mention of the dam.

Solovyov telling Russian children to get ready to go fight, big speech mixing bible references and the usual rhetoric, Russia must win because the only other option is there is no point to having a world without Russia in it.

“Battle of Ukraine”, the movie…
”How many hours on MiG-31, Ivan?”
”Five, sir.”

Russian state TV presenter Olga Skabeyeva: “Go on, please tell us about all the villages we're about to take!”
War correspondent Dmitry Steshin: “Olga, we're advancing 3cm a day.…”

North Korea makes winter uniforms for Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
Factories in North Korea are producing “large quantities” of winter uniforms, underwear, and footwear for Russian soldiers fighting against Ukraine, Radio Free Asia reported, citing unnamed sources.

Interesting, I wonder if this is one reason why Russia is interested in stealing washing machines etc.

If the cap fits... etc. The sewer is calling the army home.
But seriously, ingenuity exists on both sides, at least one side doesn't have it's leaders actively working against the survival of the forces in the field. Only one side puts gunners in the second and third line to give inspiration to the front troops and their next replacements.
The BBC1 documentary on Mariupol last night was harrowing. It showed vivdly the impact of low level bombing on civilian targets. Difficult to see civilised Western nations sitting round a table with the orcs for several generations....

Shades of the battle of Tsushima in 1905! After an epic voyage from Russia around the Cape of Good Hope, across the Indian Ocean and up to Japan the Russians got totally whacked by the Japanese. Seems somehow prophetic as the Russian incompetence, then and now, was amazing. Here's a link to a what happened. Worth a watch...
Part 1, the voyage....
Part 2, the battle....

Admiral Rozhestvensky may rest happier knowing that his voyage may soon be replaced in the annals of Russian disasters.
