Must have gone past a window….

BREAKING: Belarus Foreign Minister dies. No reason has been given by Belarusian state media….

The Belarusian Foreign Minister visited Armenia 4 days ago. He certainly did not die from a prolonged illness….

I wouldn't read too much into it just yet! People do die suddenly of natural causes. I came very very close in my late 40s. He was 64 and no doubt also under a great deal of stress.

Well there are rumours flying the Belarusian President may be in line to join him.

"water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink"

Blimey details are coming out about the shelling of snake island. If that’s correct how awesome is that.


from here

Im sure No 3 was one of the women sat with Putin when he was addressing at his table the mothers of soldiers killed in action the other day.....

It’s been said that all the mothers we’re not actually what they were purported to be.

on a side note what happened to Racedo that started this thread? He hasn’t been on since last year.

Nice and Clean
 

Those hard working fishermen somehow manage to keep the box creases in their nice clean oilskins.

Maybe Racedo has a thriving business replacing window glass?

He might be busy covertly ferrying young Russian men out of the country to avoid mobilisation.

It gets better...

it wasn’t a CAESAR, it was a Ukrainian 155mm BOHDANA howitzer.firing on Snake Island from on shore 35 km away and was reported back in July including video. It was transported to the firing position by barge - firing from a barge would have been wildly inaccurate because of the recoil.

Russian army starting to run out of supplies…

The Russian Ministry of Defense has severely decreased the supply for Russian troops in Ukraine to a level that even Pro-Russian sources are fuming. They are suspecting corruption.

I believe that this is no "decrease" but the reality that those supplies are long gone and sold.

There is even a photo of the action on Wiki:

i already mentioned similar earlier, apparently whoever was in charge of purchasing the war stocks purchased one lot, he pocketed the rest of the funds then when a depot was to be inspected he shipped it all into it, then moved it on after the inspection to the next depot to be inspected .
Thus it appeared they were all full. After all, who would have thought they would ever have a full blown war again.

The wicked witch of State media who lives a comfortable rich life in Moscow preaching to the Russian mobilised while she enjoys all the trappings of the West, nanny for the children etc.

Hats off to the Doctor though.

Russia bragging about “rehoming” a couple of deaf and dumb guys, I suppose this looks good to three quarters of Russias population.

​​​​​​​

Not disputing your information, but does recoil actually affect accuracy? I would have thought the shell would be long gone by the time recoil happens.

AFAK these things dig themselves in before firing, so that the ground absorbs the recoil. On a barge the oggin around will be displaced as the recoil forces the barge down and the barge will not necessarily come up in the same spot.
A similar problem occurs with NGS, varying with the relative bearing and elevation of the gun but
there the ship is moving any way so the gun systems calculate accordingly.

Few doctors, no medical equipment, no drugs…..

Mobilised Russians in Sverdlovsk region are suffering from a mass outbreak of infectious disease, but doctors are unable to treat them due to a lack of equipment and medicine. This is likely the result of overcrowded, insanitary conditions at their training area...

Words fail me what these guys are going through.

​​​​​​​

Granny can’t half shift.

​​​​​​​

Where terminal guidance would make a bit of a difference. Presumably the navy has taken the opportunity to upgrade their gunnery systems in such a manner... tied in with targeting drones, a bracketing of a CMG would be a bit of an upgrade. Due to the time of flight, updating or illumination would be handy.

5 days in the trenches.

Just thinking from left field, Maybe those four are Putin's elite bodyguard?

Ukrainian Spec Ops we’re apparently responsible for killing all the Iraninian instructors in Crimea.

Due to Lukashenko’s refusal to participate in the war in Ukraine information has leaked that there are preparations for an assassination of Lukashenko.

The plan is to kill him and have him replaced by CSTO Sec -Gen Stanislav Zas who will then surrender the Belarus’ army to Putin.

​​​​​​​That should keep the Mods happy ;)

These look fun, I mentioned them earlier.

​​​​​​​

That would get you a slot in the car park, even if there had not been one previously.

I don't know how Nutloose keeps track of the things he posts ... and then again ...

I try, I mentioned them earlier in relation to the vehicles the MOD flog off with 250 miles on the clock and 7 k price when they cost just shy of 90 k new. :)

If the military were to drive similar military vehicles in the U.K. the police would arrest you for various offences ;)

btw see the other thread, the Kerch bridge is repaired.

Shoot and scoot tactics. Very LRDG.

Perhaps related to the shortage being reported on the front lines - Russia experiencing major supply problems - and a few aircraft won’t close the gap.

​​​​​​​Norway is sending a new military aid package to Ukraine. It contains:

- 1M109A3GN 155mm SPG;
- 20,000 spare parts for M109A3GN howitzers;
- 55,000 units of winter clothing;
- 55,000 bandages and individual packages;
- 30,000 field rations.
