Looking at the latest putin video the thumb movement and foot moving tap at pretty much the same time,
He's definitely not right physically
Not to mention 54 of these guys being sent by Slovenia:
I think they are sending tanks to Poland and Poland in turn will give Ukraine their T-72's.
No harm in the eastern flank of NATO to get upgrades at the same time Ukraine gets much needed heavy weapons.
The only time a challenger was destroyed was by another challenger. They're upgrading a number of existing tanks and are retiring the ones they're not upgrading so may as well give them to the Ukrainians.
Don't think so. The Poles are going for the Abrams.
Maybe he has been training to the jungle junk music?

(No offence intended to anyone. Just a reference to a film. Putin is more of a fan of Rocky IV anyway )
"Feb 27, 2022 10:33 AM ISTReports of financial director of Gazprom dying by suicide in Saint Petersburg today has turned out be a bit inaccurate as though there has been a death but the deceased who has died by suicide has been identified as 61-year-old Alexander Tyulakov, Deputy General Director of the Unified Settlement Center (UCC) of Gazprom for corporate security. Gazprom is a Russian majority state owned multinational energy corporation." https://www.latestly.com/socially/world/update-widespread-reports-that-gazproms-financial-director-has-died-of-suicide-or-latest-tweet-by-the-spectator-index-3412024.html
Not an auspicious year for senior people associated with Russian gas companies.
3 fires in 2 days?? Coincidence or what is there a fifth column at play here.
Have to be cautious of confirmation bias, Russia a big country with many "normal" fires occurring, the latest doesn't seem to be anywhere significant.
Spontaneous combustion. There must be more than the soldiers eating those expired ration packs.
Block of this industrial area so not even a fly comes through.
What has he got against flies, oh.....

Youtube clip of the video again. ~~ Couldn't find the previous post with it shared.
Well there's a Comet in the museum there. And a Churchill... 😁
If they can take out a tank they would make a difference. They're not saying much so it must have a real pointy nose.
@Boggles - I can't let go of a table either when I'm stressed.
Yes stress is a fearful thing. But it's not the tables I can't let go of when stress comes calling.
Everyone knew what they did in Germany in 1945 and also Austria.
As I said earlier the Red Army commemoration monument in Austria was referred to as "the Memorial to the unknown rapist"
Other areas which were under their control for 45 odd years they tried to shovel it under the carpet and pretend it never happened.
I thought the brewup kit was standard in all their tanks ?
Probably like some of the old aircraft the Air Corp have.
Hmmmm no engines in them.
Great and all as the news sounds about countries sending heavy artillery and armour, I am worried it is coming too late.
Why the fook couldn't they have start sending this weeks ago, or was it a wait and see approach?
Maybe they were waiting to see how Vlad would react to supplies of heavy artillery from the west. Maybe also they didnt want an Afghanistan situation where the countries falls in a few days and then the enemy has all that equipment.
From what I can see the maximum range of the Russian Howitzers is around 25kms and some of the new artillery pieces being donated to the Ukraine are up to 50kms depending on the munitions used. Those along with extensive MANPAD coverage will give the Ukrainians some serious Counter Artillery abilities.
Its going to make being a Russian Artilleryman a far more precarious profession then its been already.
Suspicious in what way? Is the implication that these events are going to be used as some sort of false flag justification for some escalation event against Ukraine ?
I agree. This could be a massive turning point for the Ukrainian army, dependent of course on the number of pieces they receive. They've an awful long front line to defend.
The fear is of Putin upping the ante in some escalatory way if Russia are pegged back and their forces further decimated to a much greater degree.
The drone in question has a spark plug, you can see the HT lead connected to it, so I'd say its a 2 stroke engine, and these are loud at any time, never mind when there's a microphone attached !!! ☺️ Nonetheless, even if after hearing it, the crew abandoned ship, They may not be much "ship" to come back to.
And being aware of the reputation of his army, Putin might have been afraid that Shoigu would nick his nice table...
There was a big fire yesterday at the defense institute in Tver and then hours later one at a large Russian chemical plant. There's a suspicion (so far, total speculation) it may be internal sabotage in Russia.
Of course if Russian elements did decide to use sabotage as a method to protest the war, we can be almost guaranteed the Kremlin would weave a fabricated narrative out of it
Chechens celebrating victory in Mariupol while Ukrainian marines and Azov is still fighting
Possibly yeah,it could be a hybrid as well,i am no expert on drones.
And its ment for attacks from 2-300 meters,the range of the M72 LAW.
Not sure about sound from that height
Its just test run so maybe trying out both,including electrical
I read few days ago, that Putin is planning a parade in Mariupol, hence they are removing bodies and cleaning up the city for 9th May. The parade next to people dying underground!
I'd say that all bets as to who gets what are on hold until the Ukrainian results are in. Seems like Vladimir has bet all on one roll of the dice.
Interesting comments under that video
As spontaneous as a colonoscopy.
