Hitlers woes on d day repeats itself. Poorly trained conscripts.

Lol, it’s now a 1000 square Km of controlled territory

​​​​​​​

It’s black and white the difference in approaches to the civilian population.

Hahahahaha, what a faultless response by a Ukrainian soldier.

​​​​​​​

It looks like the captured gas metering plant was hit, does this mean Russia will not know how much gas they are supplying to Europe?

​​​​​​​

Doesn't make much sense.
​​​​​​​Ukraine is still accepting Russian money (transit fee) for gaz being pumped through it's territory. I don't see any rationale in stopping this if they accepted it for 2.5y (supposedly the agreement is expiring EOY).

Erm, has he not read what his own forces have done?

Agreed, it depends on who did it though.

It doesn't make sense for either side. They both need the money.

I have avoided this thread for about a year, on advice, during a successful course of CBT. I now worry officially at 1600 Local Time, in an organised manner.

With the news that UKR had made substantial inroads into the enemy's land [wonderful news] comes a thought that may not have been written about.

Surely the Nuclear Doctrine and Putrid's psyche suggest a tactical nuke to be used, or at least waggled in the air.

Is this the elephant in the corner?

Having said that, back to obscure lurking.

As long as it’s a border control and terrorist issue, then the whole concept design even arise….

Russia begins its response to Ukraine's incursion into Kursk. Multiple ministries are involved and the command structure is still forming. Someone in Ukraine knew what they were doing and exploited a weak seam in Russian C2. A few important issues to watch: 🧵

Says it all really.

Irony is lost on the Dear Leader.

Pukin refers to Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure.... where has he been? Did he take a cruise to a distant planet that doesn't provide coverage of the crimes that have been committed since 24 Feb 22 by Russian troops at the whim of his despotic sociopathic needs to have sufficient stature to see over his shoe laces? Did his mate give him a ride out of town on a spaceship???

With respect to negotiations; Russia leaving their crime scene would be a good damn start.

More fires in Russia

It’s looking like retired F-16 pilots are being given the green light to fly for Ukraine.

I'm paraphrasing this from a social media post I read but have lost. The beauty of this move by Ukraine is that forces a dilemma upon Putin. If he lets the Ukrainian's run around taking territory and thumbing their noses at him, he loses face. If it tries to take it back there is a very real risk of damage / destruction of the gas pipeline that his economy desperately needs the western currency from - no pipeline, no USD.

The Ukrainian's know that he can't go in there all guns blazing (and certainly not tactical nukes) for risk of damaging the pipe. But he can't let them stay for the PR disaster it is/is becoming. So with the added benefit of the PR coup, they're reasonably safe from mass assault where they are and are drawing Russian troops away from where they could otherwise be creating trouble.

Russia is a terrorist state that terrorises its own citizens: Russian troops looting in Kursk.
As they have no respect for their own people they are supposed to be protecting, what can be expected when they go to another country.

Barrier troops, looters, rapists, murderers, thats what russkies are.

Here's a video of the speech by sen. Graham.

Job opportunities for F16 pilots.

A humorous interlude….

OMG‼️ My dear #NAFOfellas, I just know you’ll get a kick out of this clip. I haven't laughed this much in a while and I know you’ll say the same after watching it.

This senior citizen from Ufa, Russia absolutely rocks! She’s the opposite of Russian brainless babushkas from Putin’s troops…..

Yeah good luck with that, cant see the department of state dropping the ITARS and permitting them to fly for a foreign govt. I cant remember the exact name of the legislation, sure someone here will correct me, but former US military cant use their skills gotten in US service, for the benefit of other country with out the express written permission by the State Department. I also believe you are a non active reserve for 8-10 years, non active reserves cannot serve in another countries military with out permission of the DOD. Know a pilot doing lateral transfer from US army to ADF and this was one of the fences he had to jump
