Not when your target is moving. They're already fairly stealthy owing to how small and low profiled they are, Radar has to be calibrated to try and spot them and in doing so might get all sorts of false positives.
That naval drone has been craned into position, the waves look all wrong
If Russia has 2 million reservists, will some of them be mobilised to "protect borders" (Russian for invading neighbouring countries)?
Would seem like a lot of effort for a non-event such as this raid, which was so easily defeated by the mighty Russian army.
Reservists aren't just waiting at home with a gun in their hand, ready to be called in at a moment's notice.
From Afghanistan.
Expect a parking attendant to debunk it
Maybe with a passport in hand. The gun will be a last resort.
Russia sends their worse, Ukraine sends their best.
Russia's best have long since fled to the West.
Sleepy right arm!
That's how he always walks. It's said to be a 'gunslingers gait' that he learned in the KGB - keep the pistol arm close to the body at all times. Most likely it's some bullshit he invented to look tough.
Not really, there's something being tracked somewhere round the Bay of Biscay for the past 2 weeks.... there has been Portuguese P-3's, Canadian P-3's operating from France, French Atlantiques, US Navy, RAF and Norwegian P-8's all on daily taskings.
Probably something lingering after the Gerald Ford deployment and waiting for it to come back down to the Med from Norway.
If there's a known target that's trackable, everyone usually rotates surveillance on it to keep up on training..
The Norway UK agreement is most focused on North Sea, North Atlantic and Artic region mutual interests.
More on Zaluzhny
OSINTdefender on Twitter: "The Secretary for the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov has Denied the claims today by Russian State Media that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Valery Zaluzhny suffered a Head Injury, as a result of a Russian Missile Strike on a… https://t.co/9iyBuEptEb" / Twitter
But still no public appearance in a week and Zelensky was out of the country,a bit sus
USAF write up on yesterdays B1 interceptions
Russian fighter jet intercepts US bombers on first day of European deployment | Stars and Stripes
two further B1's due to UK tomorrow. Usually here for 6 weeks min, so will be some shenanigans over the next few weeks, particularly with the Gerald Ford in the North Sea currently, the heading to the med.
That New Yorker piece was excellent alright. If anyone enjoyed that then I'd recommend a couple of podcast episodes. They were done with an Englishman who is working on the front-lines as a medic. It's a very thoughtful and in-depth interview.
What reminded me of it from that piece is his respect and attention to the infantrymen right at the front. The men in the trenches. He points out that often times they are the last to get any of the fancy equipment or donations from abroad. They don't get the same love and attention that the special forces or glamour divisions get but they are literally holding the line at maximum danger from artillery at all times.
He also mentions the amount of "war tourists" that he comes across. Basically people who show up, try and get their selfies somewhere on the outskirts of Bakhmut with some UAF soldiers and then bugger off. There are also charlatans who offer help and then are never seen again. Also the foreign "fighters" who never go near the front and instead walk around cities dressed up in military fatigues.
The rumors will persist until he makes an appearance.
I have plenty of times but she doesn't deserve politeness the horrible lobotomised hag
A beginning?
I think this one is going to find out at the next European elections just how out of touch she is. Embarrassment.
I'm in favor of dialog and negotiations too, sure
But those terms of negotiation are that Russia leaves. What we will be negotiating is whether or not they allow them to retreat without coming under fire or not.
Absolutely yes ,
You'd think the Second most important person only second to Zelensky who's MIA should make an appearance to show the rumors are not true at least
For the life of me I cannot understand what 'peace negotiatons' means. Putin does not want peace, he wants to win and you can't have one-sided negotiations with him. What they really mean is surrender to the tyrant.
I'm in favour of peace negotiations too, but only when the murdering scum retreat to beyond their own borders and stop attacking Ukraine from afar.
Breaking!!!!
Newly found picture of Clare Dalys grandmother just released.
The Prigozhin videos from earlier this month about running out of ammo, shooting deserting Russians, calling out the Kremlin, etc. will be studied in military colleges for decades to come as a masterclass in battlefield psyops. He lured Kiev’s forces to the Bakhmut trap, killed their generals, and forestalled any counteroffensive.
Yeah of course.
A bunch of boards.ie amateurs and I include myself in that knew he was bluffing at the time.
Studied for decades, dream on comrade😃😃
Lol. Your good for a laugh.
Lay off the cool-aid comrade!
I think that you are confusing Military-issue orders not being a defense, and rightly so. But Putin's orders are personal life or death orders. Just look at the Nrs of deaths by window jumping, tea drinking, suicide by multiple weapon's, or just plain unnatural death's within the ranks of the Silovicki, Oligarchs, Military and civil administration. These all came about because one way or another, they did not follow Putin's orders. So, yes, Putin is directly responsible for all the deaths in Ukraine, Russian, Ukrainian, civilian or military. Nothing is done without his express command. He draws up the broad plans, and his underlings carry them out. Or else!!
‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️Advisor of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to reanimate Zaluzhny, but something went wrong
▪️After reports of a serious injury to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny, adviser to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alena Shevtsova published a picture with him on social networks, but without confirmation of freshness;
▪️Attentive people noticed the handwritten date on the background - April 27 (and Zaluzhny disappeared in early May);
▪️ Under the post of Shevtsova on May 2, Zaluzhny in the same T-shirt and against the background of the same wall, attentive readers noted;
▪️Soon, the author deleted the photo from May 2, trying to cover her tracks.
▪️“Photos with Zaluzhny are left for 2-3 days,” - Arestovich.
I dunno what's happening. Perhaps he is just on leave ahead of the offensive? This war must be taking a massive toll on the Ukrainian leadership given how long it's been going on now. I seriously doubt he has been killed, or is a vegetable like some Russian propagandists are suggesting.
