that's what I said a few months back... there'll be a tipping point where frozen Russian assets will start generating revenue... and Russia will effectively be paying Ukraine to fight them
C-5 with B-1 spares arrived into Fairford this morning.. they'll be playing silly buggers along the Russian and Iranian boarders soon ..
Alexa play Hell March
No towns liberated, but the Russians have been pushed back from the trenches near the supply roads around western Bakhmut
But not so fast
this sort of stuff will need to be continuously highlighted over the next year and a half as the Presidential race heats up...
Republicans will be hitting from the "we are wasting too much money on Ukraine and sanctions are stopping growth" angle..
where if sanctions stay in place, Russia effectively pays for the supply of weapons and support to Ukraine through frozen assets, and growth is generated in the west with finding alternate options to things covered by sanctions... its a waiting game that people thought would have been quicker though..
now Oligarchs are missing out on dividend payments, and money being Uno reversed to Ukraine, political support will start to wane in Russia
Read it again,i am tired off repeating myself
You are a very stubbern person,so ill leave it at that
You are only going to repeat the same again
Exactly,so id say they are easily fooled and scared
They are all waiting for the big one
Those Republicans should just say what they're thinking - "We want Russia to win. We want Putin to be successful. We want to partner with him in an authoritarian world order where wokeness™ is outlawed."
Honestly, with the way America is going, their polling would not only be unaffected, but the numbers would probably tick up.

I did read it all 16 pages,
But again the majority of Nato countries failed to meet the 2% of GDP spending this is a fact,
"they be telling it like it isss...not like thems lying dimicrats"
Putin: If you leave bananas out for a while they get dark spots, right?
Shoigu: Right.
Putin: Cars have steering wheels on one side, right?
Putin: So they're trying to destroy Russia, right?
According to the internet, Ukraine pulled troops away from Bakhmut in August 2022.
That is a fact for now,but not the 2% isnt all if actually read it,and the deadline is 2024,and the invasion of Ukraine have made many increase their spendings.
Modernising your defence forces costs money too,and buy new equipment,part of the 20% spending.
Look at how many countries have bought F35,Norway F35 ,new leopard2a7,new K9 Thunder artillery,Finland F35,Patriot system
Netherland new cv9035,Germany new Puma ifv etc etc
Like i said read it again
After the publication of the map, another video message from Yevgeny Prigozhin was released: the head of the Wagner PMC once again accused the Russian Ministry of Defense of the collapse of the front.
We do not know for what reason the section of the front was abandoned, what kind of contingent was occupying the defense there, and why, after a light shelling, the whole unit retreats, and does not hold the position. Usually as a result of just such a “retreat” people die even more.
I wonder is this an attempt by the Ukrainians to try and draw in some more of the more capable Russian units to defend this area. It's pretty clear that the 72nd Russian brigade (who are supposedly to be raw) are struggling.
It may be that the incursions north and south of Bakhmut are intended to protect this retreat. Hard to tell.
And yet it didn't change
Like i said,very stubborn
No use telling someone that cant handle truth
Just going to repeat the same all over again to make an idiot out of yourself
Good luck
That's a crudely edited picture.
The source is a speculative blueprint of the Kinzhal from several years ago link , the original image portrays a two-stage missile. In the past days someone has crudely pasted a "thing" in the shape of the supposed Kinzhal wreckage into this blueprint, where the second-stage motor and fuel tank previously were.
From an engineering perspective it simply makes no sense.
I keep an open mind about whether a Kinzhal was intercepted or not. The photos and testimony are not convincing, but on the other hand it is certainly not impossible to shoot one down (merely difficult). Over the course of a long war I would expect some to be shot down, for sure.
The main thing is whether they can be consistently shot down, that's something we won't know for a time.
Two strikes on some sort of factory or military facility in Luhansk city, thought to be Ukrainian cruise missiles.
Also Ukraine appears to have just reversed 2 and a half months gains by Russians in Bakhmut.
They are protecting a retreat from 9 months ago? What is next providing cover fire for troops in the 100 years war?
All winter it's felt like there was two wars going on, Russia throwing men and equipment forward to make some kind of gains to crow about, and Ukraine sitting back and making every inch conceded incredibly costly. In Bakhmut and Adivka Russian losses for almost zero gains have been horrific.
All the while Ukraine continue with their policy of hitting Russian ammunitions and fuel supplies, continuously hitting the means to wage war. The other obvious piece is that outside of Wagner, Russian forces are absolutely useless. What they threw at the Ukrainians around Adiivka and failed to gain any advantage was shocking.
I believe that Ukraine will play games with the Russians for a little while, make small scale attacks here and there. Drag the Russians around and look for soft spots, attack and encircle, limit head on attacks. Once they have the Russians under pressure then the real attacks will begin.
Poland went and spent a fortune this year but guess what it's only amounts to around 3% of gdp .
Your lack of understanding is hilarious
If a missile had the capability to carry multiple warheads, does it not make sense that the rocket/missile would be generic to all and all that changes is the actual warhead?
Plenty of photos of what was shot down, some say a kinzhal warhead is in the picture, some disagree, but they can't actually state what the warhead belongs to.
Can you?
You claim the diagram is from a 2 stage missile, any idea what the missile is in that diagram? It may help shed some light.
The 'thing' wasn't wreckage, it was the supposed warhead.
They seem to be using Long range decoys too along with whatever was used in today's strike...
I'm saying this if the recently posted (https://twitter.com/tankiemilk/status/1657032725331693570?s=20) exit from Bakhmut is true. But it is too early to say.
...
821 billion of which is us apparently. The %gdp really distorts the picture in my opinion.
Initially I was skeptical, but OSINT have been comparing this stuff, and the "core" warhead plus other sections (e.g. the fin) are really starting to look like they came from a Kinzhal. The flipside is, no one can identify what it alternatively is, except for similarities to a dumb munition, which would have been odd since it was recovered in Kyiv. Also, the Pentagon have confirmed it - if it's easily disprovable then that's egg on their face.
The KH-47M2 is still a ballistic missile, and reportedly part of it's flight occurs at Mach 2 or 3, which puts it into the scope of an anti-ballistic system like the Patriot.
Not 100%, but leaning towards Kinzhal for the moment.
