Let’s hope more are on there way

The leopards arrived too.

More importantly, the crews have gone through thorough training.

If you look on twitter, many of the trolls laughably say that they'll last two seconds in a fight with a T-72 or have NATIO crews in them. Clearly, Russia is worried.

Interesting…. I saw 4 Challengers on transporters leaving the A303 and heading Tidworth/Ludgershall (railhead) way a couple of weeks ago.

I have recently seen some military stuff with Ukrainian flags painted on them on there way over which was good to see.

The Ukrainian family we brought over are still so positive that they will win this war - I hope they are right.

Watching and listening to some credible sources, (not an incel in his bedroom!), an assault on Crimea and capture of Sevastopol would see the end of Putain. It would take some effort as they would have to drive south from Zaporizhzhia. Recently received Western tanks and APC would be a great catalyst.

An ex US General commented last week, that with IFVs and MBTs, the Ukrainians will be able to mount a counter attack
of manoeuvre warfare. Which strongly favours them, as they know the terrain and have intelligence sources everywhere.
They will look for concentrations of troops, vehicles, supply depots etc and kill them as soon as they find them, with indirect fires.
While probing the Russian lines for weak points. Once found, they'll exploit (pile into) the weak points and attack Ivan in
his rear. For which you need speed, aggression and firepower. If that happens, you'll see Ivan's front lines collapse nearby.
Especially, if they're held by contractors.
The sooner this ends, the better for Ukraine. Putin is losing hundreds of thousands of troops from far flung corners of Russia
that nobody in Moscow cares about. Ukraine is losing its best and brightest scientists, technicians, teachers and so on. People
it cannot afford to lose, to help rebuild the country.
Unfortunately, unless some unorthodox military methods can be employed. Crimea, which is all that Putin really cares about
militarily, looks set to be a meat grinder. There's only one way for a Ukrainian army to attack Crimea and the Russians have built defences in depth. Across which is a relatively narrow strip of land to the west.
If Putin has any reservations about this front line. This would be the logical place for him to use tactical nukes. Because if you're
going to escalate and use one. You may as well use several and get the job done. Which would be neutralising a Ukrainian army
just about to attack Crimea. The Ukrainians have not trained to fight in a CBRN environment in a generation and this would
stop them dead. Pardon the pun.

I read that Prigozhin has said that Bakhmut has damaged Wagner's reputation (!) and he's pulling out of the Ukrainian 'market' to peruse other ventures in Africa providing security.

Anyway it's not just on the land, sea or air. It's also in cyberspace. Doing the rounds in the German news is Operation/Project Vulkan. The Russian cyber warfare offensive.

You might need subtitles for this.

 

[UlstermanAbroad]

Yes. Wagner has suddenly discovered many opportunities around the world. Basically, anywhere but Ukraine.
I might have my bush wars confused. However, I thought that I'd heard the USCJCS Mark Milley say as an aside,
during a Congressional hearing last week, something about Wagner throwing French troops out of Mali.

I think someone had an idea to get rid of potholes in Belogorod.

Russia's Belgorod sees mass evacuations over undetonated bomb

An undetonated bomb was found in Belgorod, where a jet accidentally dropped another bomb days earlier.

Hopefully the Ukrainians can continue defend themselves and push those vatniks back home. Its incredibly important to ensure the world sees that you cannot just start a war of aggression and win, especially with the current global trend towards authoritarianism

Slava Ukraini!

I so want to agree with you , then i only have to look at , Iraq/afghan/lybia/syria/ and my head says remember 4 legs good 2 legs bad ,and the pig says All people are equal but some are more equal than others ...................I cant defend Tony Blair and George Bush and Bidens actions ..............they are in the same category as Putin

Iraq was a mistake - I think most people agree. However, Afghanistan was a legitimate operation in most people’s eyes - the US and NATO needed to try and find Bin Laden and the Taliban and stop them from attempting another 9/11.

The west also had good moral reasons (in my opinion) to get involved in Libya and Syria. in Syria we should have conducted air strikes when Assad used chemical weapons - a weak Obama decision not to.

To say western leaders are in the same category as Putin, is extremely naive. There is no justifiable reason to invade Ukraine other than as a plain war of aggression. The same does not apply to Afghanistan, Libya or Syria.

 

[RichTaps]

To be honest in regards Iraq - if Saddam had just let the weapons inspectors do their jobs (rather than keeping up the premise that he had wmd’s) he may well still be in charge today.

Saddam’s inability to look weak, and poor western intelligence in regards existence of wmd’s lead to an avoidable war.

Fair enough - feel free to post links to any of the information you mention: I’m always open to study new sources of evidence

Initial reports coming out that 'free' Russian forces have crossed the border back into Russia near Belgorad. From what I can see they have one tank and a couple of APCs.

This is not going to end well. Maybe it's a quick skirmish to frighten the locals and distract Russian forces. However other, possibly alarmist, reports are that Russia is removing its iskander missile (each contain a bag of sunshine).

The "invasion" of Russia could be a pretext for almost anything.

Hardly an invasion, just an incursion but it seems to be lingering.
I can foresee trouble in South Ossetia, Abkhazia former Georgian lands as Russia seems to have trouble mustering enough troops to quell internal trouble.

No disagreement on scope. Just think it opens the door to new "responses" from the Kremlin...

According to various, pro-western telegram channels, the head of Wagner PMC is on the warpath to Moscow. He's not happy with the Ministry of Defence and it's corruption. Go figure! Anyway, there's a warrant for his arrest for inviting rebellion.
Get your popcorn ready this could be good for Ukraine.
