Ohh I do love Ukraines sense of humour..

This is possibly showing up how desperate the ammo situation is for Putin.

Hang in there :sad:

Painful to watch.

Whilst I'm sure it's true, it could also be a sign that their logistics system is in rag order (which we know it is) and they're not rotating stock correctly and/or are redirecting replenishment directly from production due to the supply line being shorter.

A single photo, no matter how well annotated, isn't always enough to draw conclusions.

Ukraine has always counted wagner. Russia has not not counted wagner or LPR/DPR in thier official caualties

Damn, those poor guys. :(

.

So some war profiteer has one in Western Ukraine and wants to sell it?

I do hope they are showing this in Russia, they are sending their children off to war dressed in paintball kit, no cold weather kit and self purchased sanitary towels as Putin stands there in his opulent warm palace, nice suit on and a glass of wine in his hand.

It appears so, but even for a scanner that appears cheap and it’s probably a company building them supplying it. I would have thought it’s very close to the front line too.

This may lead to an escalation! Putrid and his fans will be most upset. Especially his very special American supporter who has wanted the honour for years.

Yeah, more Putinisms. What I found interesting is him holding the wine glass, likely so that his fingers don't clench or shake. He also keeps his other hand in his pocket the whole time. We've seen video of him sitting at a table grasping the table edge the whole time he is filmed; something might be going on with his health.

Not smoking, but welding….

Good morning! Something is burning (and exploding) in Moscow..

Russian authorities say today's shopping centre fire in Khimki, Moscow Oblast, could have been caused by safety violations while welding.

Aviation content (sort of...)

About Russian logistic efficiency...

What they need are nightingale flights outta dodge.

Golly, is his toxoplasmosis flaring up again? I don't judge, Vlad is welcome to his own gestapo dressage and whips, just prefer he didn't act out in neighbouring countries. He appears to have a cognitive challenge going on all of his very own inside his cranium. He certainly has a temporal issue and a bit 'o confusion on cause and effect. Pretty sure that for the rest of us on the 3rd rock Lord Vlads spring breakage began in February and Kerch happened a whole lot later.

But the good news is that the Kerch bridge is starting to head back towards being an excellent target once again. I would think that the center span is the better target for the FSB next time, that will take Rostov out of the business of shipping for the next few months.

That twin magnums of champers, inn'it?

The victory salute to send off the Red team.

I still find it absolutely baffling that the Russian military has never mastered the use of the humble pallet.

Their logistics strategy is not just dated, it's Napoleonic.

Rossiskaja Gazeta claims that Russian scientists have created "Antidote against HIMARS: air defence received a new program that allows you to shoot down American missiles"

A lot of salt with it and a lot is cope material, but interesting article to see what is being fed to the Russian population.

Russian Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Alexei Borodavkin, says that Russia will help Tokayev crush "nationalism" and "extremism" in Kazakhstan

This statement is causing massive backlash in Kazakhstan….

If attributed to Ukrainian action and current (not always the case on twitter) this is some fire.

Movement nr Kherson

New cargo drones.

Security at its max, they have even blurred out the cats face. :p

Many of their soldiers still have not been issued with socks, so logistics are probably the least of their concerns TBH.

BREAKING: The U.S. plans to level new sanctions against Russia and China under the Global Magnitsky Act.

These sanctions will deal with Russia's use of Iranian UAVs, human rights abuses from Russia and China, and China's illegal fishing in the Pacific region.

Britain unveiled coordinated human rights sanctions today, which were focused on Iran and Russia.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. is set to levy fresh sanctions against Russia and China on Friday, actions that include targeting Russia’s deployment of Iranian drones in Ukraine, alleged human-rights abuse by both nations and Beijing’s support of alleged illegal fishing in the Pacific, according to officials familiar with the matter.

The bulk of the expected sanctions are to be imposed under the Global Magnitsky Act, named after a whistleblower who died in a Moscow jail after accusing officials of corruption.The U.S., by using those powers to sanction high-profile government, military and business officials accused of human-rights abuses and corruption, says it aims to hold them accountable and deter others.….

The sanctions will freeze any assets the targets have within U.S. jurisdiction, prevent their travel to the U.S. and prohibit business dealings with them. For government and business officials, the actions can complicate their international travel and financing…..

The targets include officialsallegedly responsible for Russia’s filtration camps for Ukrainians caught behind the front, where groups such as Human Rights Watch have alleged the military has tortured citizens and committed other war crimes.

Separately from the Magnitsky sanctions, the administration also plans to hit several Russia defense industry entities tied to the transfer of Iranian military drones Moscow has been using to deadly effect in attacking Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, according to the officials.

By penalizing Russia for its Iranian drone supplies, the U.S. says it aims to disrupt the deployment of a weapon that Ukrainians say has terrorized the population and is manufactured by Tehran’s U.S.-sanctioned weapons program.

Additionally, the U.S. prepared sanctions against Russia’s central election commission, which presides over an election system that Western officials broadly condemn as fraudulent and that has ensured President Vladimir Putin, a former spy, control of the country for nearly a quarter-century.

The Biden administration also is set to sanction around 170 largely Chinese entities allegedly involved in illegal fishing throughout the Pacific, which Western officials say Beijing has used not only to feed the world’s largest population, but also to help the Communist government expand its maritime power through the establishment of a network of ports outside of China.

Besides exhausting fishing stocks critical to the ecosystem more broadly, analysts say China uses its fishing vessels to further its geopolitical aims. “China’s national and local governments recruit some commercial fishing vessels into maritime militia activity,” the Congressional Research Service said in an April report for lawmakers. Government officials then “require them to operate in specified waters to defend national sovereignty rights, participate in training and sovereignty defense, and provide support to the PLA in combat,” the CRS said, referring to the People’s Liberation Army, China’s military.

One U.S. official said sanctions had also been drafted to list Chinese entities allegedly involved in human-rights abuses against Tibetans. Beijing has used its security forces as part of an effort to control the group, human-rights groups say, harassing suspected followers of Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

Smokers or welding I wonder?

In Barnaul, Russia, the Altai Tire Plant is on fire. The plant also produces tires for military equipment.

Mohammed bin Salman is definitely eligible. But we need his oil.:mad:​​​​​​​

Stocktake.

Russian antidote to Himars, a white flag.

Darn, that is another new keyboard on order :D

So, according to Putin the West is guilty of genocide in Ukraine killing and raping civilians.

This is a man who's clearly losing it in every sense.

This is painful to watch. Makes me want to send 'em my kids old velcro boots. They haven't needed those since they were six.

To use pallets you need lift trucks, and for field work you would need a big tired farm type, so I suspect the lack of such equipment is what drives all the manual loading. The Russkies also unload their trains by hand.......

You're not the only one to equate immorality, dishonesty, and criminal behavior with mental illness. The truth is, this guy and his henchmen are simply wicked and evil and deserve biblical judgement for their acts.

Yes, and even the Archbishop of Canterbury agrees with you ..... sort of!
tt stops short of praying for Ukrainian Victory though.
