Kadyrov is asking Ukrainian intelligence for info on him, he hasn't heard from him. So it's possible he's dead. If true, will be big, he's the right hand man to the Chechen leader.
B1 Lancer, and A10 Warthog over Germany now.
It's possible he's with the heavy brigades who are planning something very special.
Rumours of injury or he's not happy launching the counter attack without f16 support....whatever, just rumours.
Or maybe he just needs a timeout from a war repelling a merciless invader.
Seems to be only people on here and the Russian blogger who claimed he was hit with a rocket that have an issue with his lack of public appearance.
Makes sense I'm sure as harder to protect those targets with electronic interference etc., compared to ammo dumps and the like. May as well get good value from them.
The only shame here is that he's only wounded
Very clinical.
He was seen a few days ago handing out medals.
Generals Syrskyi and Tarnavskyi reported today on the successes we have already achieved, on the points of the front where we need reinforcement, and on the actions that can break more Russian positions.
That's Zelensky's nightly address from two days ago, no mention of Zaluzhny. He definitely seems to have taken a less prominent role in the last month. Could be any reason why.
Commanders usually make public appearances to give their troops moral support. Going missing is not sending a good message.
Even his doubles have doubles, lol.
Stark accounts starting to appear in the media as the reality of the grimness of the situation facing the Ukranian forces is getting harder to withhold from the public. This from the Washington Post.
The soldiers of the 37th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine underwent modern training according to NATO standards and were armed with weapons supplied from the West, but within 20 minutes after their offensive they suffered heavy losses.
There were about 50 people in the military unit with the call sign "Woodcutter", and 30 did not return - they were killed, wounded or captured by the Russians.
5 units of armored vehicles of the unit were destroyed in the first hour.
“We stayed there in the field, without tanks and heavy armored vehicles. We were fired from mortars from three sides.
There was nothing we could do,” the militant says
Another video of HIMARS being used against targets very close the frontline. Very definite change of tactics in their use taking place.
Not true at all .
But the second most important person in Ukraine only second to Zelensky himself hasn't been seen in public or in a live broadcast in how many weeks 6 ?
Zelensky has done a world tour in the time and nobody has seen Zaluzhni anywhere ,
Secret bunker, doing secret things doesn't add up
UKRAINE HAS LOST 16 ARMOURED VEHICLES IN THE SAME TIMEFRAME RUSSIA LOST 60+ ... RUSSIA IS WINNING, SPREAD THE WORD

It's Tiktok culture... soundbites, quick clips, stuff that doesn't even remotely show the full picture being taken as Gospel...
Everyone expecting Kadyrov and Prigozhin type rants and updates from Zaluzhni... he's got a war to be fighting unfortunately
If Leo and Bradley crews are surviving these hits which I believe they are it means Ukraine will have trained crew sitting around waiting for replacements. So any donated systems will go straight into action. This bodes well.
I seem to remember you talking about Putins doubles so have a lot of people on here not just me ,
So have you seen him in public at all in the last near month ,
No .
Didn't think so
Ukraine released footage of the Bradley crews escaping that ambush so hopefully most are safe, Bradley's are designed with crew survivability in mind.

Note, the rest of that subreddit can have pretty brutal footage so I'd be wary of browsing it.
Another overnight attack on civilians, this time Odessa. Sickening. This is just going to go on and on as long as Putin is in power
Or maybe Putin????
An insight into Wagner
And Western support will continue.
Here is Putin himself saying on TV in 2008 that Russia that has no claim to Crimea, that Crimea is Ukrainian, and Crimea is not a disputed territory.
And people still believe a word he says. btw the tread in the tweet also debunks the myth that NATO expansion and that NATO and the West are actually at fault for the war in Ukraine.
That's definitely gotta be one of the doubles. Entire face looks plastic.
Possibly.
Or he could be worried how much the fair deal scheme will claw back.
I'd imagine China would see Russia as a liability as part of a military alliance given their performance so far. Also, China prefers economic warfare, money is everything so if they have the opportunity to nab some of the Russian far east if it presents itself then they'll do that rather than join them in some mad global crusade that would destroy the Chinese economy.
And this is what has been long suspected, although I don't know what kind of effective operations Russia could launch against motivated and organised European armies in the short term - and I mean at least 10 years when I say that. They've not got the tactics, or the weapons or the people. On the last point, although Russia are hyped up on the number of people they have, they have 'only' 147 million, whereas the EU has over 700 million, so if you get a combined task force from even a fraction of those countries to battle any kind of Russian incursion in a conventional military sense, Russia has no advantage in any aspect. I say 'conventional' because obviously people will talk about the nuclear stockpile aspect when you talk about open military confrontation with Russia, but of course if Russia were to use this capability, they run the very real risk of creating a world that is in no way worth inheriting, and I believe they only use it as a last gasp to prevent their own country from military takeover from a foreign power.
Their only real options for territorial expansion beyond whatever they could possibly take in Ukraine are a soft takeover in Belarus and also pushing into Georgia and Kazakhstan. A wilder speculation beyond this would be Russia seeking to create a military alliance with China that would set out to conquer the world. I stress that this is a wild speculation - there are still questions over China's ability to take over Taiwan, never mind their ability to mount large scale military operations thousands of miles away.
Seems changes might actually be coming to Nato and Nato weapons productions if all are actually on board , which may or may not come to fruition, especially around artillery and tank munitions, it will be interesting to see if governments and private industry will play ball on this or will they drag their heels until depending on how much profit they can make in the future...
It is because it is has an age-related restriction.
This was always the case he wants Belarus (almost there) he occupies part of Moldova,he occupies part of Georgia and regularly redraws the map to slowly increase territories there ,then after launching a superise attack on Georgia proper he still manages to maintain a certain control over parts of the Georgian government to this day , Ukraine occupied,
He wanted to create a smaller Soviet union using the likes of Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova, Georgia as buffer states to protect mother Russia, only ukraine heavily backed by the US and NATO has completely spoiled his party,
But Putin won't back down they lost the war the moment they Crossed into ukraine last year,
Looks like his buddy lushashenko is now threatening to use his newly aquired Russian nuclear weapons if Belarus faces outside aggression,
Remember on boards we previously had a thread where people posted their admiration for the "Man" the refreshing leader who was putting his country first and the man needed to keep America in check ,the thread had a fair few respected posters voicing their opinions of the great leader.
