But Still ,
What's the Navy seals Motto ",we own the night"
He obviously missed the boat yesterday
Surprise, surprise, lots of hidden clauses in Putin's decree (meaning he was effectively lying in his TV address and leaving out key information).
Was he in a speeding car at the time ?
They offered incentives across their regions for People to join but not enough did by the looks of it.
I wouldn't presume to know, it's above my pay grade.
The 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse drafted for war because Russia has run out of tanks.
I'm assuming this was just a PR sortie across the river under cover of darkness rather than a long term advance and regain of territory?
The situation is under complete control says he...
Methinks they're coming for you Mr Head of Occupation Authorities in Crimea.
Lol!
Next week will be very interesting indeed. When the sham election results confirm the new Russian territory and then that territory is attacked by Ukrainian ground forces it really is crunch time for the botox dwarf.
Head of occupation authorities in Crimea claims Ukrainian drones were shot down in 3 districts of Crimea
Remember folks it's not happening
Of course they are, and rightly so, Ukraine / rest of Civilized World will treat them as such, but that matters not one whit to Putin....its how he can use their "New Status" for his own ill-conceived plans..IE: an attack on Russia it self, justifying a nuclear response.
Indeed.
With Yakutsk over 8,300km from Moscow, and 8 800km to St Petersburg this mobilisation is far removed from the seat of power and those around it who are making the decisions.
This won't stop until we see this type of departure happening on a large scale in the capital.
Shhhhh! don't tell anyone, we want it to be a surprise...
"USN convey congratulations from ENERGODAR". They are effectively at the fence of the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
300,000 is just a small enough number to get Russians used to the idea of the conscription. It will not be enough to "win" in Ukraine. Winning in Ukraine is not the goal anymore, the goal is to remove all freedoms in Russia using war as a pretext. Imagine a happy Putin and his cronies when they no longer need to pretend to be "democratically elected" or observe any laws. All Russians will be conscripted into making armaments or mining some dirt in Siberia, with no freedom to chose, and any dissenters sent to labour camps. War without end and the enslaved population fearing you as you can strike anyone down with impunity. That is a dream for any dictator.
You're conscripted to be a volunteer? Uh...no, strike that.
Into the grinder you go.
This is interesting,forte 10. forte 11, global Hanks have been flying sorties pretty much in the area for 210 nights so far so it's nothing unusual in that sense, unmanned boat seems to be a Ukrainan design nobody has claimed it yet , but many weeks ago one of the American care packages contained unmanned Coastal defense systems (but nothing in particular was indentified which or what kind of unmanned system) was it missles,guns or perhaps a waterbourne drone of some kind,
Most of the American designs took the shape of a fishing boat with outriggers for stability or a small Rib /enclosed speedboat type craft .
The fact this kayak type vessel managed to get so close to svastaspol is pretty amazing considering many on here have claimed nobody would get close to the Russians ports .
It could have easily been a IED or WBIED for correctness,and taken out a ship or Sub if they choose that route.
Remember the USS Cole was attacked this way years ago
I am a bit puzzled as to why some people seem to think Ukraine might go for Belgorod. Why would they? All the Ukraine need to do is get back its own lands including Crimea. All those silly and naff referendums are a farce and Kyiv will take not an iota of notice of them.
Peskov announced recently that far right z protestors are on a very thin line. They have up until now been allowed to voice their criticism unhindered of Putin for not going far enough and not fully mobilising.
The likes of Dugin etc have been using the term war and world war 3 with impunity.
What is 'voluntary' conscription?
Sakha (where Yakutsk is the capital) is one of the Republics that has already been supplying a disproportionate number of troops to this war (The Butchers of Bucha came from there).
It will be interesting to see if we see these kinds of scenes in Moscow and St Petersburg anytime soon (apart from forcing protesters to join up)
Oh I know just giving a scenario if they do lose the will.
They have been doing this since day one of the invasion,as well and naval and helicopter patrol's off the coast of Kaliningrad
I doubt very much if the EU interest will flag, hard winter or not...they know full well how bad it may have gone for them ( Germany) if Ukraine had not held the line.
Belgorod too, but no Ukrainian forces have stepped onto Russia proper, or Crimea as yet.
Personally, I fully expect (and welcome) Ukrainian forces to enter Crimea.
I don't believe the proposed new sham referendums in South and East will modify Western behaviour at all.
I'm not well versed in these matters at all, but I think a nightmare scenario may be looming --
Ukraine continues to retake territory and, sham referendums aside, Russia is left defending an ever decreasing area of Ukraine but refuse to agree to a ceasefire and continue to fire missiles into Ukraine.
This is why the retaking of Crimea may be necessary, to further humiliate Putin, in an effort to precipitate real change in Russia.
Most Russian objections to the course of the war are based on potential military loss of face, they are not remotely concerned about the plight of their more civilised and more intelligent neighbours. This is why humiliation is an absolute necessity, it's the only thing they understand - "we, as a nation, seem to have no choice but to accept total defeat, therefore we are beaten".
Sounds good. And thanks for proving my point: the West is the key player here
Looking at FR 24, a US Rivet Joint operating out of Mildenhall has been doing a run from Poland to Lithuania (via Suwalki gap) then east to the Baltic. Effectively emphasising that Kaliningrad is surrounded and under close watch. I wonder have Kaliningrad's air defences been moved like those of Petersburg.
