The second bridge that was hit, I think the technical term is…. it is f*cked, i would imagine the support will have been undermined as well.

[]I don't get this guy at all... how many weeks does he think it will take before Putin is crawling on his knees, begging for mercy? Dimmi the dummy spitter surely knows that no one can crawl after a 6th story window exit? How often has he seen that done, must be getting practiced by now. If Vlad is still carrying a Makarov on the way planet wards, that might actually be a military aviation event! All 1.9312 seconds. He gets to 37kts at resignation, a tad over M0.05.

Oh, wait; Dimmi isn't talking about Vlad? Pity, was one of his better vodka infused rants.


I also really don't get it either. He's 1/2 Ukrainian through his maternal grandparents, and, if IIRC has a son somewhere in the west...

Personally i would deport all wives, ex-wives, pseudo ex-family etc inc siblings, in fact anyone with connections to anyone who has been sanctioned and are in the western civilised world back to there "beloved" mother country.
How on earth do we think they live in the west, on social handouts?, no on corrupt, ill gained, stolen money.
Send them all back and they can enjoy life back "at home''.

Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft strikes Russian positions using American unguided ZUNI missiles fired from LAU-10 launchers

This weapon significantly increases the effectiveness of attack aircraft, because in addition to greater power, Western missiles have a longer flight range

Just another Russian war crime......

Pursuant to Article 8(2)(b)(vii) of the 1998 ICC Statute, “[m]aking improper use … of the flag or of the military insignia and uniform of the enemy … resulting in death or serious personal injury” is a war crime in international armed conflicts.
Statute of the International Criminal Court, adopted by the UN Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court, Rome, 17 July 1998, UN Doc. A/CONF.183/9, Article 8(2)(b)(vii).

Curiously, the very troubled lady is supposedly referring to Ukrainian figures... Seems the concept of statistical survey is lost on the lady.

However... in the same thread on the muskosphere, it is reported:

"Monday, July 3, 2023, in the morning report to the President of Russia Vxxxxxxxxxx Pxxxxx [Voldemort], the irretrievable military operational losses of the manpower of the personnel of the RF Armed Forces are 233,573 people [Orkans?]. Data as of 6:00 Moscow time today.

This figure excluding the losses of Russian PMCs taking part in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, on Friday June 30, is 74,130 dead. The next final data on the losses of PMC fighters [murderers/criminals] should be received on Friday July 7, 2023. And will continue to be updated once a week".
@lesleybeau60

That's a lotta Lada's.

Ukraine has bled out a lot of it's future, hopefully that is noted by the politicians that consider it is a great idea to back Ukraine, "but just enough, not too much...". The same politicians will look to others to blame if Ukraine runs out of blood to bleed in their defence, and Voldemort relocates to a new border of greater Russia in the west. Seems the only person who thinks that NATO is really helping Ukraine against Vlad is the dictator of Eritrea, who has called this conflict the NATO against Russia war. I doubt that the Ukrainians would agree with that view.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...t-drone-pilots

Before Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Olexsandr, 32, had been an IT guy at a logistics company. “Flextronics company,” he says. “I think you know it because we have a big warehouse in, let me remember, not so far from Manchester: Warrington. I haven’t been.”

Today, Olexsandr’s reputation is not built on his skills in fixing software glitches for a multinational company, but on a kill tally that makes him perhaps Ukraine’s deadliest kamikaze drone pilot on the frontline. “I haven’t met anyone who has destroyed more,” he reluctantly admits...He has destroyed five tanks, five combat infantry vehicles, one armoured personnel carrier, one combat reconnaissance vehicle, two multipurpose lightly armed transporters, an infantry fighting vehicle and an airborne combat vehicle
...Olexsandr’s drones are all made from components bought online from China and then put together by two of his friends on the 24th floor of an apartment block in Kyiv.

Reports of an explosion in Derince Port Turkey in the Silo's of the Turkish Grain Board. Bad timing, coincidence or....

Local officials offer a technical explanation for the explosion ...
Kocaeli Governor Seddar Yavuz later added that the number of those injured has risen to 10 with two seriously.

In a statement to TRT Haber, he said the blast occurred due to ‘dust jamming’ in the TMO silos during the transfer of wheat from the ships.
... so it's unlikely to be war related, despite Russia's attacks on grain facilities in Ukraine.
