More on the amount of refineries hit by Ukraine, it is almost forming a supply barrier for Russia, meaning fuel has to be shipped in from further afield to support their war efforts.

One of the ships hit in the Sevastopol raid appears to be leaking fuel and is being towed to a dry dock.

Russia's latest attempts at anti drone protection, well either that, or they have a serious pigeon problem. It does appear to make sense but then surely you would tailor your attack to suit the conditions, I.e. vertically or on the lower extremities, unless they have horizontal spikes as well.

A Russian decoy set up, it's the pringles that gave it away

​​​​​​​Polish authorities plan to build surveillance towers on the border with Belarus

This was announced by the chief commandant of the border guard service of the Republic, Brigadier General Robert Bagan.

"It is about towers 70 meters high, which will be equipped with modern optical and electronic devices," Dziennik Gazety Prawnej newspaper quoted him as saying.

The towers will provide an accurate view of what is happening on both sides of the Polish-Belarusian border within a radius of 10 kilometers, the newspaper said.

Any Brits using this thread may want to watch the documentary 'Enemy in the woods' aired on BBC2 last night. Brutal stuff

Russian Cruise Missle violated for a minute Polish Airspace. At an interesting corner: Oserdow (heading to Lviv region). Released obviously from a long range bomber.

Any ideas where from it could have been fired off? Belarus? Anyway not a DCT as it seems, but I dont know anything about cruise missle routing tactics..
