I still don't know how and when this war will end (and anyone telling you that they know for sure is full of shit, huffing hopium and/or copium, just trying to get engagement, etc.), but if it wasn't already blatantly clear Russia can do nothing but react (badly), it is now.

My home regiment.

Didn't have RK-62M's or high-cut helmets back then though, but who wouldn't love the weight of an RK-95 with an Aimpoint attached.

While we are still a month away from the official announcement on the new tank for the Norwegian Army, Norwegian media today reports that the Koreans have offered 24 x K2s, originally intended for the ROK Army to be delivered within 6 - 8 months, if they get the contract.

According to people claiming to be locals on TG channels, the rumors of Snihurivka being liberated are not true.

I'd not jump on this bandwagon yet. Snihurivka is a heavily fortified town and not directly threatened by the last couple of days of advance (yet)

It’s been a long time since I saw a tweet as wildly irresponsible as this one. An issue that deserves care, caution and caveats boiled down to a sensationalist and highly misleading line.

She was full of life
Her name is Nika Shakarami. She was only 17.
Nika joined on Sept 20. Ten days later her family was asked to go to Kahrizak prison to get her body. The authorities didn’t allow the family to have a funeral for her while arresting her aunt & uncle

Another photo of Lapin commanding his forces. Looks like he has a R-149AKSh-1 command-staff vehicle in addition to his modified Tigr-M vehicles. He's also using an Azart radio. Not sure what the black radio is. 2/

YLE:n footagea meikäläisestä katsoessa ei voi muuta todeta kuin että asunto on poikamiesboksi/5.

Analyysi ei onneksi saa miinuspisteitä kaappien siisteydestä.

Yes, this is probably a map for the Ukrainian plan of action, but using it here is misleading. We haven't seen Ukrainians south of Dudchany yet and Russians are rumoured to have pulled back to Mylove at the furthest.

However, most of northern Herson is empty.

Forbes, citing sources from within the Kremlin, says that 600,000 to 700,000 Russians have left the country since the announcement of partial mobilisation.

It is not known how many of those residents left for tourism purposes and will be coming back and how many are migrating.

Venäjällä on tänään todella, todella huono päivä.

Saman pesuveden mukana näyttää tällä hetkellä menevän lähes koko Oskil-joen itäranta. Ukraina puskee kohti Svatovea, jossa viranomaiset ovat jo antaneet evakuoitumiskehotuksen. Ukrainalla on kerta kaikkiaan momentum päällä.

Identifying a train carrying vehicles likely belonging to 12th GUMO, is certainly not the same as claiming the train transports nuclear warheads.

Who managed to twist a factual report into this??

Accuracy and details matter, especially when talking about the nuclear dimension.

Reports of Russian train allegedly carrying nuclear weapons heading toward Ukraine appear to be FALSE based on US analysis, senior US defense official tells me.
