It looks like another Russian ship, Project 22800 Karakurt class “Tsiklon” has joined their subsurface fleet in Sevastopol.

Footage of the Russians taking down a drone in Novorossiysk, I wouldn’t fancy living in those houses or indeed working in the port facilities across the bay lol with all that lead being pumped in their general direction. They probably caused more damage than the drones.

FINALLY some sense, France’s Parliament is calling for Ukraine to be able to use weapons against Russia.

?????

With new Hungarian Gripen C/D jets being already built whitetails, Saab says the company has further already built C/D jets but won't say how many.

Any question re Ukraine are for the politicians, spokesman says.

Something I must have missed the first time around but the captured Ukrainian weaponry being exhibited in Red Square has not only bright identifying flags of the countries of origin, but the authorities have put NATO flags in the vehicle windows too.
Apart from being grossly unfair, it gets the populace on board with the idea they are up against NATO already. In other words the Russian public probably has little conception or recognition of the soul-searching, the quibbling and ‘drawing lines in the sand’ going on in the West all this time.

By the same token, any ‘victory’ over (parts of) Ukraine will likely be portrayed as victory over NATO. Maybe Mr P needs this to save face?

More likely to prepare the population's minds for a forthcoming war that really is against NATO

I don't believe the Russian people are that stupid. Sure some older people probably don't have access to Western news and information but the younger generation? Technology and word of mouth is doing the rounds I'm sure.

Seeing his 'success' against the mighty 40Mio of Ukraine max 100km from his border and their railheads and with less than 100 modern MBT, IFV and Artillery pieces and no Air Force to speak off what could possibly go wrong taking on 500Mio people with 1000 modern MBTs, 2000 modern IFV, 1000 modern Jets, hundreds of modern artillery systems (and that is not counting in the US; which would triple these numbers) ?!
Naaah, he is not that much of an idiot. A**hole maybe but not idiot.

He isn't preparing them for a invasion of Russia by NATO.
He is preparing them for asymmetric war across Europe, the Middle East and Africa with the threat of invasion by NATO.
So that he and his cronies can steal more of the Russian wealth and lives.
Have you not learnt anything yet?

They are stupid enough to keep signing up to join the SMO and liberate Ukraine from its Nazi control.

His moves in Africa in the last three years seem to have been productive, though he seems to have gotten rid of one of his more effective operatives last year: Yevgeny Prigozhin.
You might say that this war in Ukraine has cost him quite a lot more than he bargained for.
And that's without NATO being directly involved.
