This little video is truly incredible. I recommend everybody watch it several times, to let it sink in. It says so much about why Russia is losing this war.

It shows a Ukrainian drone dropping a small grenade on a group of 11 Russian soldiers huddled sleeping in a (weakly) defensive dug-out pit, on the front line east of Bakhmut. What's amazing to watch is how sluggishly - if at all - the men react.….

Well, kind of..
The German Army did have proper War stock after the fall of the Iron Curtain with Tanks being conserved and put to Long Term Storage in 'Bundeswehr' Depots. These were mostly dissolved later on and the Tanks that were still rather up to date were given back to the Manufacturers (Krauss- Maffei/Wegmann and Rheinmetall). The latter did keep them as basis for Refurbishment and Re-selling to other Armies/Customers. That is where many/most of the Leopard 2 that were delivered in the past came from and this also where the Gepards (and a number of Marders) 'survived'. Unfortunately Chassis which were not produced by KMW/Rheinmetall did not find a similar caring home. This is why almost 100 of the MARS/M270 (of which the German Army once had 148 and now has less than 40) were scrapped instead of stored which are now badly missing as Basis for Refurb and for Supplying to Ukraine

Probably the comments sum it up.


These men are suffering from moderate to severe hypothermia, when the body stops shivering and the mind goes into a stupor or even shuts down. They were probably laying huddled all night without proper clothing or bags. Night temperatures have been in the mid-high 30s F / 0-4 C

Wagner commander commits suicide rather than be killed by a drone, judging by the film his left leg is unresponsive.

This is how a military superpower looks like...
As these are the first 300k mobilized, one wonders what does the second batch get? Or the third...

By the time they get anywhere near that figure, they will be sending them to war dressed in beach towels and flip flops having exhausted everything else.

I missed this one as it slipped under the radar, Poland to equip one Ukrainian SU24 with a SCALP cruise missile with a 300 Km range

also on the same link.


​​​​​​​Ukraine received 38 MLRS HIMARS from the USA.

The Pentagon officially announced that Ukraine received 38 HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems from the United States. This is one and a half times more than the amount of weapons that was officially announced, and taking into account 11 M270 MLRS multiple launch rocket systems supplied from the UK and Italy, as well as five MARS II rocket systems supplied by Germany, today Ukraine has a huge number of these MLRS funds.

Until recently, Washington reported that only 24 HIAMRS launchers were in service with Ukraine, however, it is clear that such information turned out to be misinformation, probably with the aim of influencing the conduct of the JMD. The official report of the Pentagon states that, as of October 14, Ukraine has already received 38 HIMARS MLRS, and by the end of this year it is quite possible to supply additional MLRS (the US reserve is about 50 units - ed.) .

A little earlier it was reported that, according to the Russian defense department, since the beginning of the appearance of the HIMARS MLRS in Ukraine, at least 13 launchers were hit, however, probably due to the replenishment of this weapon, the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not feel its lack.

Its been rumored for weeks, comes from a single twitter that only a month old. Poland doesn't have scalp or SU-24's, if they said france or UK was doing I would be more likely to believe it. But poland Nah

​​​​​​​Quite in line with recent Russian psyop aimed at forcing Ukraine to negotiate, and Peskov claiming the objectives of the special operation will be completed.
Huh? When did the Ruzzians confirm that their Special Military Operation had included the mission objective of the destruction of the Russian Army? I applaud their dedication to that outcome, and they certainly have shown innate skills in the destruction of their army. Rate their efforts at self-flaggelation at a 9.5 at least. The 10.0 went to the guy offing himself which is not an image that will fade easily, but that is an addition to the fertile lands of Ukraine by Russian parents and families. Pity that Vlad is not the donor of the sunflower fertilizer himself. :ok:​​​​​​​
