North Korea stopped sending artillery rounds according to South Korea. South Korea who has been monitoring the situation says they shipped 3 million rounds an have stopped. This could be good news for Ukraine. Putin been relying on these rounds could Russian economic situation be far worse then stated.

I was wondering that also. The rouble is worthless so how would they be paying? Technology or gold reserves?

The head of the Russian defense conglomerate Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, confirmed that the state-of-the-art Russian tank, the T-14 “Armata,” is not being deployed in the war in Ukraine, which the Kremlin has labeled a “special military operation.”

Chemezov attributed this decision to the tank’s exorbitant cost, indicating that the military is opting for the more economical T-90 tanks instead. He underscored the prohibitive expense of the Armata as a deterrent to its immediate deployment, stressing the need for funds to develop newer and more cost-effective tank models.

“In terms of its functionality, it certainly surpasses existing tanks, but it’s too expensive, so the army is unlikely to use it now. It’s easier for them to buy the same T-90s,” Chemezov said."

No wonder Trump likes Putin they run businesses an countries into the ground lol.

A woman clutching an infant is found in the rubble of Ukraine building after Russian drone strike​

"Officials on Sunday said the bodies of a boy — and a young woman clutching an infant — were pulled from Saturday's rubble.

“The mother tried to cover the 8-month-old child with her own (body). She tried to save them. They were found in a firm embrace,” said a Telegram post published on the interior ministry's official channel. Separately, the governor of the Odesa region, Oleh Kiper, said the other child was 10.

On Saturday, Ukrainian authorities said another baby was among those killed after falling debris from an Iranian-made drone hit the building — one of eight Russian drones reported by officials. Later that day, Zelenskyy said a second child aged 2 had also died.

“Delays in the delivery of weapons to Ukraine, as well as air defense to protect our people, unfortunately result in such losses,” Zelenskyy wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.


More people may still be trapped, the Odesa branch of Ukraine's main emergency service said on Facebook. Kiper said rescue workers continued to comb through the site."

British intelligence estimates Russian losses at 1,000 men per day.

Sadly 1000 KIAs for day Putin easily might replace smoothly so this is highest danger rather than vodka Dimitry yelling about nukes ( not sure that they will even work ).....
arestantovich changed his brainwashing to barely hidden between lines Kremlin's support. More looks like psy op with a lot of chatbots comments in his YT content....Boring b***h ....maniquire and beauty procedures for aging gamb*er.

 

[SandisLL]

U.S should use PDA or old stuff sending rules in order to by pass Mike Johnson ...ASAP.
Cos U.S does have a lot of old cluster ammo for artillery and against infantry this works well.
Pussified France and Germany does have this old stuff too, also napalm, while due to humanitarian reasons they will not send this.

Also I don't agree that Germany fears from Russian threats...
They historically are well known to make deals under the table with secret protocols ....with Russia.
Both these countries always were and will be imperialistic cocky predators making deals under the table and imagine that they are in 1939 th....exactly.

 

[SandisLL]

From one point about Taurus they are correct not to send these.
Such Cruise missiles are launched together with decoys missiles
Decoys missiles are passive and active....
Usual flowchart is to launch 1-4 decoys missiles for 1 Cruise missile.
Unlike with Cruise missiles ...about decoy missiles Europe can't replace U.S in no case....

wow, golf cart assault

I’m surprised they havnt dusted off a few T-34’s for a good armour charge.

 

[SandisLL]

I'm a bit scared how ppl are valuing T-54/T-55
They does have rifled field guns cannon...
So might be used as self propelled field guns and ammo they does have a lot.
T-34 is old POS and still more durable than BMP-1 or BMP-2...

wow, golf cart assault

That golf cart looks cool as fuck. I need one of those for driving to the beech

 

[SandisLL]

I think that maybe in this area ukr does have ground radars. These like border guards are using etc.
Golf cart does have lower radar reflection effective cross section than APC....so then it is detected later than APC.
Engine too is smaller than APC does have and therefore thermal signature is lower than APC does generate.
