Well going on Israel's dire record so far, I think you can be sure Israel will hold back, just as they have been since day one. What did they send after the US put the hard word on them - a field hospital and some field rations. I think it must be because they just didn't want to show Ireland up, not because they are jerks.
Whoops, looks like I was wrong and they are just jerks:
The majority of Israelis are opposed to providing Ukraine with military aid, such as the Iron Dome missile defense system, a new survey by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) has found.
The survey, released on Friday, only a few days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for military assistance from the Jewish state, found that 67% of Israelis were opposed to the move, 22% would support the transfer of weapons and 10 percent were unsure.

The Ukrainian millitary is as adept at using media to project a positive image as they are at killing the enemy.

Does this really need to be asked? A shower of mobilised drunks with no ppe, or a well trained. equipped and motivated army - ffs its not like they are on different continents where winter in one is summer in the other.
I suppose the more troops Putin can put even near might stretch the Ukrainians we may see that when all the recent mobilised men are sent into action .I still would be worried about the numbers Putin can call on and to keep the conflict going so long that it could turn in his favour find it hard to believe he is just going to be beaten back across the border and accept it .
I'm no millitary expert, but I think tanks are supposed to work better if you leave the tracks on.
not exactly one click, but you can get close to it if you know what you're doing.
David Bombal did a video or 2 on this, threw up a few random photos of his to see if the OSINT guys could find out where they were from... they got them all I think...
Also helps a lot of Ukranian's on twitter will give a heads up where it might be and you can use good ol google maps to have a look and verify
RuSSia where you steal from your fellow man or your own will be stolen.
Kind of explains a lot re : the washing machines, children, grain, farm machinery.
It's a really poor attempt to try and divert Ukrainian forces from other areas of the front to defend the border.
That report on the Belarus military was published last year and it's damning. Belarus has no combat experience and weapons platforms that haven't been modernised since they were inherited after the collapse of the Soviet Union. What convinces me that this is all just a big nothing-burger is that the few modernized weapons that they have were donated to the Russians and videoed en route to Donbass. That's the clear giveaway. If you're preparing to invade another country, you're hardly going to give away the few precious modern pieces of equipment that you have.
Russian leaders might be mistaken in betting the winter will prove “too tough” for Ukrainians and their European benefactors, but “they’re going to do their best to make it so,” he said.
winter is coming.....who can withstand more pain? Europe/Ukraine or Russia
Lie flat on the ground, preferably in a low area, ditch, behind a wall etc. Then when you consider it safe enough (beware of secondary's) get as far as possible away from the blast site.
Do these trackers use old fashioned detective work to find out where photos were taken? If so, I am in awe
If they use magic, one click of a button tech - my awe is gone.
But let the bounty hunt begin!!!!
That is clearly Ukrainian propaganda, and you don't need to be a "military expert" to realise it.
Pity we haven't got a similar system here in Ireland for our own criminals.
Well I know if I had a choice between Israeli weapons and Iranian ones which I'd choose and it's not the ones coming from Persia.
Looks like Igor girkin officially has a Price on his head from the Ukrainans
So that's code for any equipment trying to leave will be bombed to the stone age ?
Looks like Russian mig31s have landed in Belarus today ,
Expect more air launched cruise missiles to hit in the next 72 hours .
Blackout in Soloti village of Valuyki district amid missile launches from the area
the Belgorod region is front and centre of the war now
From what I saw of Russian prisons, he was telling the truth. You won't get too many prisoners back answering the guards, never mind taking a poke at them. And for sure I would not like to get caught up in prison riot there.
Briany, the fact that Putin has managed to conscript thousands and thousands of Russians to go and fight (and die) in Ukraine, is proof in the present time that his system of repression works. Calling the " special operation" a war or speaking negatively about Putin etc. earns you 15 years in prison. In the beginning (Feb 2022) there were protests, until Putin clamped down on hard. End of protests. He will do the very same in Moldova, if they start protesting, hit the first ones hard, and the protests will stop. Unless of course, the Moldovans are a different breed, and suppression will trigger even greater protests? Have to wait and see how that will go.
As the saying now goes, Iranian women have bigger balls than Russian men.
Hmmm...Maliar: Ratio between Ukrainian and Russian losses in Ukraine’s south 1:6.5 | Ukrainska Pravda
Rumours abound about friendly fire/fratricide in the pitiful russian ranks

Didn't take long after Iran supplying Russia with ballistic missiles. You can guarantee Israel will not hold back with weapon supplies and intel for Ukraine.
So now we have two arch enemy's who have entered a proxy war.
The Ukraine prosecutors office have 40,348 war crimes logged so far. If you could deal with one per day it would take over 110 years to do justice to each. Such are the Orcs.
65,000 fewer Orcs now.
Big fire reported in Berdyansk
France plans to transfer the Crotale air defense systems to Ukraine. Negotiations with the Ukrainian side on this issue continue.
"This technique, as the head of the French Ministry of National Defense said, will allow Ukrainians to defend their skies."
Nice, thank you France. Air defences are sorely needed.
I see a lot of talk of a new Russian symbol ∆ (Delta?) appearing on equipment moving to/from/in Belarus, see for example this thread:-
Didn't they only start applying the Z and other symbols when getting ready for deployment to Ukraine?
Pure speculation (like is normal) or more evidence of Belarus "getting ready"?
