I'd didn't miss the part of not being verified
What kind of verification do you need? Afu reported 21 tanks in one day and 25 tanks in one area in 4 days.
Its Ukrainian army who reported this, not some nafo fella on twitter.
I was a bit surprised that only 1 artillery piece was destroyed yesterday, usually its over 30 most days
Found these reports that seen to be about the same success story for Ukraine's troops eliminating a good number of putin's tanks over just 4 days.
Reported that Russians are evacuating families out of Tokmak as it is now under Ukrainian shell fire. They may arrive there soon.
Remember seeing something like that earlier last week. Do you have a new link by chance?
I've seen posts about this for past two weeks joking about another goodwill jesters, but I'm not sure the UAF are yet in a position to take that town.

Something like this from last week was what I recall.
Which could be anything really. There's been a few storm shadow strikes on russian positions in tokmak in the past 2 months. So maybe they're dispersing?
It could be a routine thing.
Or it could be that they could know that the situation on the ground is much worse than currently appears for Russian forces and the line isn't going to hold indefinitely.
Hard to know.
I say some of this would of been making it's way to Ukraine but now going to Israel instead.
I understand Hamas has been having meetings with the Russians. I suspect that they and Iran were involved. Good play by the Russians - if what I suspect is true - to get the West distracted from their crimes in Ukraine.
'Dramatic' increase in N. Korea-Russia border rail traffic: U.S. monitor"

US is annexed by IL
I wonder if they are taking advantage of the US's attention being directed to Isreal to move as much as possible over to Russia?
The rail-bridge between NK and Russia is a very old Soviet build, and it's the only one. Although it is heavily defended and guarded constantly by the North Koreans, I wonder if there has been any temptation to take it out of commision? They'd still be able to transfer via China, but the facade of Beijing not being a military supporter would then be much harder to maintain (not that they were doing a good job of that to begin with).
This was always going to happen unfortunately I've been saying it from the start if something kicks off elsewhere choices will have to be made ,all we need now so China to start hitting Taiwan , you won't be hearing much about blocking military aid to Israel ,the total opposite to what we've seen with Ukraine
If there is a perfect time it's soon for sure. If they decide to go for it maybe they will sit back and escalate this situation to the maximum first.
Google is your friend - Milestones: 1945–1952 - Office of the Historian (state.gov)
Thanks .You know "Google is your friend" is normally a put down.
As it happens I did google that 1945 period last night (since nobody had answered my questions )as my acquaintance with the story only really began from 56 on w
I am now better informed as to the events but it can also be instructive to ask for information on discussion forums -they are two different ways of acquiring knowledge.
I won't go on -this is the wrong thread.
Meanwhile bad news for Russian Volvo lovers (and that would include heavy transport too I presume!) Volvo have cut off all electronic supports / up grades to their vehicles in Russia.

Wonder if any of the other Auto makers will follow suit looking at the Vag group
Incredible stuff
Hopefully they will. These kind of activities while appearing small, really hurt Russian's and make everyday life harder for them.
@amandstu "You know "Google is your friend" is normally a put down."
Not intended as that at all. Just trying to help.😉
The fringe can't stop contradicting themselves
Ukrainian army, in all fairness, has been known to inflate numbers quite a bit as well and make claims that are later revised.
Great work, respect.
They were spot on estimating the Russian dead and injured because it was confirmed by the Dumas own internal documents regarding compensation for the soldiers and families
Interesting that's kinda gone under the radar.
If it was Russia, I very much doubt there would be any repercussions anyway.
Wapo suggesting that certain Ukraine funding may be tied in with a bill for Israel funding. Hope it goes through.
Ukraine are nowhere near taking Tokmak. Before the US shutdown they might have had a small chance of getting it under fire control this year but that is likely gone up in smoke.
Given the change in daily reports it is likely that Ukraine is shifting to a more defensive stance and will just use their ammo to try and hold the small gains they have made.
Surely Isreal would have enough missiles , etc, for the short term at least without having to supplement with immediate imports - re planes , helicopters , all kinds of bombs/ missiles , mines, all types of personnel vehicles,tanks, etc. Hamas , no matter how ‘well armed ‘ it is would not have the capability of taking out a lot of the Israeli hardware IMO
Finnish government statement at 5.30 Finnish time, 3.30 Irish
But already fingers are being pointed at Russia, one of there survey ships wer seen over it mid September
Finland and Sweden monitor seismic occurrence's constantly and don't see any data leading to an explosion, but this press conference has already been delayed 3 hours so looks like something is suspicious
