Boom time somewhere...
Alot of freedom delivered there
How can anyone be so obtuse?
I never said they received weapons from China, only that they asked China to supply them.
But funny enough in the past few days China has exported assault rifles and ammo to Russia. Not in large quantities so I didn't bother bringing it up, I just said Russia Asked China. Try use a VPN to search google rather than using Yandex.

Brilliant!!
Our indications are that the DPRK is covertly supplying and we are going to monitor to see whether the shipments are received," Kirby said, adding that Washington would consult with the United Nations on accountability issues over the shipments.

Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said he had never heard of the request from Russia.
So circling back to your original statement that you don't believe UK intelligence is accurate because they claimed Russia was running out of weapons.
Therefore if anyone uses any UK source you don't believe them. It's pretty common knowledge that the frequency of missile attacks on Ukraine has decreased, the number of shells being fired has dropped and US intelligence indicates that Russia has asked North Korea, Iran & China for arms.
You don't believe any of that, so why is Russia using less shells, less missiles then? Are they winning so hard and storming across Ukraine that they don't need to resort to mass shelling anymore? Are they suddenly worried about collateral damage or committing war crimes?
Another hot day on the boards.ie frontline. Keep up the good work soldiers.
Looks like the Russians are following the Ukrainans lead with drones dropping marine emergency becons which will allow them to hit the Ukrainans with artillery using the becons gps .
Some sound off that. Impressive sight, shame we don't see the end results (obviously too far away for recon drones)
Have they had much success with the Alternative Warhead missiles, with the 100's of thousands of tungsten fragments?
Certainly a good way to clear the front line trenches for any counter offensive.
Bar flattened buildings and the odd vehicle we don't see the end result,seems it's all happening behind the Russian lines , hopefully going forward we get satellite imagery at least ,
This popped up earlier today,not sure where and when though.
Interesting that none of the media coverage of Putin's visit has suggested a double.
How's that interesting?
Most dictators have doubles eg Saddam, Hitler and others. Often used to fool people about their whereabouts, undertake a dangerous visit or confuse an enemy.
I don't know what relevance a possible Putin double has, anyway. It seems more something to discuss for the sake of it and trade bits of supposed evidence, I.e "... Notice the curvature of the earlobe..."
Maybe you could say it has relevance in the sense of how confident Russia is in its hold upon Mariupol, but Ukraine would know the scale of the job they have to do in order to reclaim that territory in any case. A Putin double wouldn't really change anything about that.
I scoffed at the Putin lookalikes when I first heard it mentioned. I'm not so sure now. This doesn't look anything like him, imo. He doesn't like being close to people.
Putin driving himself? Find that hard to believe.

Yes, the 'real' Putin appears to be a germaphobe and to be terrified of assassination. You'd have to be very sceptical of any version of him that shows up in strange places and close to people. State media would 100% be in on the scam if he's using doubles - the whole regime is built on lies and deceit.
Poland may go to war with Russia: the ambassador in France named the condition
Warsaw will fight with Russia if Kyiv is defeated. This was announced by the Ambassador of Poland to France, Jan Emeric Roscyszewski.
"If Ukraine cannot defend its independence, we will have no choice but to enter the conflict," he said
That should cheer the Orcs up.
This is how world wars start.
Russia would just saturate Poland with nukes until it glowed green from space if they unilaterally declared war.
I said a few days ago that more Mig-29s were nice, but don't change things in terms of cspabilities, which is what Ukrainians really want.
Hero of Ukraine fighter pilot Karaya noted that the MiG-29 aircraft, which will be handed over by Poland and Slovakia, will help in the performance of current tasks. However, they will not provide the potential for offensive actions and the conquest of complete dominance in the air. And he called for the transfer of modern fighters
Have a look at this one
The orcs will do this if, the orcs will do that if... Over a year of such proclamations.
Why does Russia waste much needed missile's and artillery shells by bombing Kherson daily. Are the unit's near the city under pressure to show the hire ups they're actually doing something? Makes no sense they would save this ammo for something more useful.
There's zero chance Ukraine would achieve air dominance in the east of Ukraine even with western aircraft (F22/F35 excluded)
That's not to say they wouldn't benefit from having western fighters, but I don't see it as a game changer like ATACMS or cruise missiles would be.
Now if there was an air launched, long range anti-ship missile that they could only use on a western jet platform when Russia's destroyers set sail in the black sea to launch attacks at Ukraine, then yes it would be a game changer. I still think they need to try a HIMARS launch on a barge!
I'm shocked they haven't threatened nuking the Hague yet. Are they slowly realizing it's just empty threats?
The Ukrainians in the last week said that F-16s would make up for the shortfall in ammunition; I have previously mentioned at least 4 senior US generals who have advocated Ukraine getting them, and then every senior Ukrainian military person have been screaming for them for over a year.
They would be far more of a game changer than anything else that could be supplied, which is why the issue is so sensitive and why the Ukrainians have not let up on asking for them as a priority.
And what do you think Russia will get in return?
Ending mankind is a tough choice you see
The crap Russia played last year is how World Wars start.
I don't think we tend to blame France or Britain for starting WWII. That blame lies elsewhere, as it should with this conflict.
