This is 100pc usa involvement.
Russia loses pipeline that could have been used for negotiatons leverage
Why blow up billions of work when u can turn gas off?
Eu were fkd just now by usa. Somebody does not want the war to end.
There is no way you reach 96% on this referendum after you attack a country, erupt a f**king war on their heads and force conscription upon occupied sectors. There is no margin for reality in this.
Realistically even if you had overwhelming support pre - invasion, you are going to see a steep drop in that during post - invasion.
This can never be recognized as legitimate under any circumstances.
It's practically impossible to get 96% of a population to agree on anything. Russia should have faked believable numbers.
An update on the nuclear thing. Russian military doctrine says they can use nuclear weapons if Russian sovereignty is threatened. This is not the same as an attack on Russian territory, which is a less serious scenario. This was mentioned on Sky News by a Ukrainian spokesperson.
They found the reason for the leak in the nord stream 2 pipeline as well
Russian grandmothers telling the truth are being arrested now
Belarusian railways improving infrastructure to receive military echelons - monitor group
If Belarus are this involved why are their football teams allowed to play in Europe still?
Yes, the PIG (pipeline inspection guage) https://www.wermac.org/nordstream/html_img86.html gives an indication how this could be done "It will be inserted into the PIG trap at the start of the pipelines in Portovaya, Russia, and launched into the pipelines, where it will travel..."
Ukraine are carrying out air strikes most nights and days too and haven't lost an aircraft lately
That's just the start.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has reported that 261,000 men had left Russia after the announcement of “partial” mobilisation in the country, our source in the Presidential Administration tells us.
Discussions on closing the border for men of military age began in the Presidential Administration on Wednesday, 21 September, when law enforcement agents had started reporting the numbers of men leaving the country. According to our source, the last report by FSB from 25 September stated that 261,000 men had left Russia in the period from Wednesday to Saturday evening.
A callup of 300,000, 261,000 have split, leaving 39,000 to surrender.
It's going swimmingly. Putin must be wondering why so many Russians don't want to die to keep him in power. The ingrates.
Great stuff. Spent many years over and back from Brize, Filton and Fairford over the years. A great area for aviation anoraks. I flew a microlight out of Kemble into Fairford one year the week of RIAT ( long story!).
There's such a good aviation heritage in that part of the world.
I'd say Brize us like Heathrow these days.
no, about 2 hrs away from Fairford, I'd be there more often if I was closer
Here is the interesting information as I mentioned earlier that explains how the Radar is detected.
No worries - just curious to what extent Ukraine is able to use what it has of it's air force.
Cool. Are you in Gloucestershire?
Don't give them ideas.
They'll put that on the front of the tanks, then they will be impenetrable.
Russian Army Grub-
U2 is out Monday to Friday, been up a few mornings to catch it...B52 detachment went back last week but some equipment is still on site, so I wouldn't 100% rule out a B52 visit tomorrow or Thursday.
This may be a very stupid question but could something have been placed inside the pipes to deliver an explosive device somewhere along the pipeline? Another stupid question if the gas has been turned off why so much gas escaping? I understand that it is a long pipeline and maybe has to remain pressurised but couldn’t that be done with nitrogen!
Sorry, i have to ask.
Very little info on it. However, ( and I'll go look for it), some OSINT guys figured out how to spot the Search Band radar sweeps by the lines they leave on Satellite topographical images. That's how they tracked Russian Naval assets. I'll go to try to find it.
Also nobody has mentioned the cyber capabilities of NATO, who knows what infiltration has occurred, whether into military or civilian infrastructure.
What are Russian air defences like at the moment in the occupied territories? I know they took some/ a lot of damage but is there any hard info on whether they've replaced both aircraft and anti aircraft systems?
I agree. Mark Felton included that scenario in his "what if" video a few weeks ago.
A threat to show what they can do with infrastructure running undersea and across oceans. Damaging their own has no immediate consequences in sales for them as likely planning to choke the supply anyway.
But if it's found to be true, they are surely playing with fire in a big way. At present their military destruction is aimed towards Ukraine, if they start targeting infrastructure of other European states, surely that's tantamount to a declaration of war on their part?
Possibly, Fairford is pretty active all week. The brother took a great vid of a U2 arriving back at 3am. Runway lights on. 10 mins later, all off.
Can't show the vid here I'm afraid.
@Gatling
Here's one for you too. Most excellent.
I run a bus to the Royal International Air Tattoo in Fairford every year. You can get up close and personal to them if you like.
Great weekend out.
True enough, but may need the nuclear lesson for the stupid dictators at the back of the class who think that the US is scared rather than restraining themselves.
@greenpilot you might enjoy this one ,
2 fencer D's(su24M) bombing run caught on camera
