Not verified, but reported Ukrainian special forces joined the Russian exodus across the Dnipro, meaning that the Russians now have a big problem in second guessing who is who on the far bank

ROFL.

Thanks for the moment of levity.

You said CnC in the same paragraph as the word Russia. You haven't got the memo? Russia has concluded the term "CnC", it being not appropriate in the circumstances. It is replaced with the term "DnD".

Like Doug the dog says, its funny because the squirrel dies... at least Doug knew about "Special Missions", and they were similarly effective

Can we please tell them that ATACMS is in the area, seems kinder to get them back across their own border, the one they actually own a bit of, kind of.

That should end up with some red. on red moments. Their REMFs are in range of some sleepless nights.

It appears that UAF is on airborne/amphibious assault towards Kinburn peninsula, currently news from multiple sources, VERY interesting if true. It would really mean that their capabilities are much better than anticipated.

The Russians dug trenches around that area.

When you let HIMARS range dictate which town will be your regional "capital"....

“The Russian-appointed "authorities" of the Kherson region say that the "capital" of the region under their control will be Henichesk.”

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready to exchange 10 captured mobiks for a raccoon, which was stolen from the Kherson Zoo by the heroically retreating second army of the world.

FINDERS KEEPERS: RU’s hasty retreat from Kherson left hundreds of tanks, fighting vehicles, self-propelled guns, trucks, vehicles and equipment scattered in UKR fields. Each will be refurbished, re-painted in UKR colors and put to use against the Russian army….

No need to take the time - one size fits all. There must a few hundred of his henchmen who should go swimming with him.

wish I could unsee someone hanging off a rotor blade. The 24 has an articulating head, the droop stops have what... a... 100:1 moment arm to the weight suspended off the end of the blade. the guy weights X, the force on the stop is 100 x X... hope they checki ti out thoroughly before goign aviating.

turning a blade backwards... ack.

Wagner's Prigozhyn in a Q&A admits to the execution of a captured convict Evgeniy Nuzhin and says he enjoyed the show.

Wagner's GREY ZONE channel which originally posted the video of the execution of a convict now justifies it with a long rant saying that being accused of brutality at a war is similar to getting a speeding ticket in a car race.

Striking a Russian plane, Bakhmut direction.
