Poland constantly delivering
Precision what?
I'd imagine the logistics of maintaining the A-10 would be a stretch, plus it's never really operated in contested airspace, although the Russians seem to be wary on that front.

Although I don't really see this happening, if it did happen it would be massive. The potential data this could give to the Israelis on how this system would deal with real world peer missile systems would be immeasurable.
And if it worked as intended, imagine how this would blunt the Russians destructive tendencies.
Such an asset's really the kind of thing that Ukraine cannot get into their arsenal fast enough. They need something like that yesterday.
Put1n in big trouble now
Due to nukes unfortunately this will never happen. The Americans and soviets went right to the heart of Germany. There won’t be a march into Moscow.
A revolution within Russia needs to happen, ideally a gradual and less dramatic one where each new generation understands that despite all its flaws, the Western way of life is a better one.
Russia will probably never adopt a Western attitude to things top to bottom. They can have McDonalds and Instagram and some of the superfluous trappings of the West, but all the little habits, ways of communicating, doing business, expectations of out of life, social hierarchies and so on, all the little things that truly make up a whole culture are a long time in the making and probably won't change that much, even on a generational scale. I don't look at it like Russia needing to adopt Western values in order to move forward. Not wholly, anyway. They just need to stay in their lane, first and foremost, and stop with the attempt to reduce eastern Ukraine to a pile of rubble and killing/deporting its civilian population.

I'm afraid even that won't happen. Back in the early days of this thread, there was talk about a "De-Putinisation" of Russia, using the Denazification of Germany as a model. This comparison falls apart when you look at the details though.
If you look back at German history, all the way to the creation of a unified Germany in 1871 and before, you'll see that even in the more totalitarian parts of Germany, such as the Kingdom of Prussia, there was always an active civil society. The merchant & middle classes in Germany were relatively prosperous even in the late 19th century, education was widespread and there was a rather widespread sense of civic responsibility. Political debate was lively, even when Ludendorff & Hindenburg effectively established a military dictatorship during WW1, so when the Nazi regime was finally destroyed, there was a significant tradition of civil service and civic discourse that German society could draw from, especially when you bear in mind that the whole time from the "Machtergreifung" in 1933 to the surrender in 1945 was barely twelve years.
This civic tradition is missing in Russia. The country does not have an engaged populace or civil society. Between the Czars, numerous communist leaders and now Putin, this has been "beaten" out of the population, for lack of a better word. This is made worse by the fact that the only time when any attempt was made to establish some sort of civic discourse coincides with the complete implosion of the economy and living conditions in the years of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Russia, in my eyes, does not only have a will for reform, but it lacks the very means to engage in such a reform, even if the will were there.
Ukraine was to the USSR what Germany is/was to Europe. The technological hub of industry.
Major holiday destination for Russians too.
Anyhoo a new type of drone jamming gun laser thingy developed in Ukraine.
Well done this lad. Naming him is not a good idea, imo :-

Apparently, the Russians are running low on ammo and supplies. Videos like the above may explain why.
The German Govt are incredibly full of shi7.
Putin has them jumping to his every command.
Already posted - never mind.
I think a lot of middle class and upper-class Russians had sons serving on board as it was considered something of pride for the families, now that middle class of Russians will not stay silent on what happened regardless of how much bullying the Kremlin does. Putin losing the rich and now the middle-class, soon who will be left?
Balance
Oh they can be silenced easily if they have enough syringes.....
How was this allowed by the Russians to see the light of day. Was it total incompetence. If I was in charge of security there I would have VETTED ALL video recorders, reporters, etc, watch what was being filmed / recorded and immediately physically ‘close down’ anything I did not like - like that injection episode. A very damaging episode for the Russians.
They learned their lesson.
From article @nigeldaniel posted above about the sunken Moskva cruiser:
During a recent meeting in Sevastopol of the commander of the Black Sea Fleet and families of the killed navymen, the venue was cordoned off by military police, while the commander was accompanied by a spec-ops forces team.
News seems very mixed from the fronts today. Russians are pounding the fcuk out of that city and might have crossed the nearby river which is not good news.
Although thrle Ukrainian push towards Kherson is forcing the Russians to regroup and redeploy. I believe once the Ukrainians reach the outskirts of the city you will have a general uprising by the local population.
Another 5000 helmets on the way...
From the Youtube comments section.
The video was leaked because their single TV camera fed its signal to a satellite truck on loan to RTR from the German TV Company RTL, and RTL recorded the entire event.
Kulturny
And Navalny still in prison. What kind of a shower of warlocks are in the Gremlin?
Have you a source for the push?
I haven't seen any change in the Kherson front line during the past week.

What website are people using to make financial contributions to the Ukrainian armed forces?

Just the reddit Ukrainian conflict subreddits. Small settlements retaken near the city. Nothing into the city itself yet.
