Not sure what drone that was but the Drone that has put the fear of god into the Russians is the Baba Yaga drone from the Ukrainians
It leaves a mark
Definitely an artillery shell used
That's too bad. Maybe Putin can buy some T-54's and BTR-60's from North Korea, those would surely change the course of the war.
Wow and there goes your railroad car(s).
Are the Russians hoping for the Zapp Brannigan approach and that the UAF have some killbot preset limit
Putin will be further able to claim he's extinguishing Nazi's. Worth 2-3 mil, not to be sneezed at!

The new Polish left coalition might put the brakes on the wild military spending though
It looks like it was transporting mines/ammo. Something similar here-

Amir Weitmann, the head of the libertarian caucus in Israel's Likud Party, appeared on Russia's state-run RT News network this week and spoke about fighting between Israel and Hamas militants, as well as Russia's war with Ukraine.
While speaking about recent claims relating to al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, Weitmann criticized Russia, saying that "we're gonna finish this war, we're going to win because we're stronger. After this, Russia will pay the price, believe me, Russia will pay the price."
"Russia is supporting the enemies of Israel. Russia is supporting Nazi people who want to commit genocide on us and Russia will pay the price," Weitmann said. "We're gonna win this war. Afterwards, we're not forgetting what you're doing, we're not forgetting, we will come, we will make sure Ukraine wins. We will make sure that you pay the price for what you have done, you as Russia."

Undersea cables and gas infrastructure gets damaged between Sweden and Estonia there can be only one Suspect, Russia.
In this case not so sure,but there friends from China might have some explanaining to do
Something to watch out for (I'm not necessarily supporting these conclusions though)-
Someone order a two in one?
They wont have too, the previous government already signed the contracts and i still dont see Poland stopping at buying more
US can't fight 3 wars?
The US isn't fighting even 1 war.

Hopefully China is smarter than that and won't attack Taiwan. The strength of the PRC's army is unknown, but it could be a paper tiger, maybe even worse quality than the Russian army.
russian propagandist looks into their future.
Skabeeva has the starting handle of a 1968 Morris Minor buried in her brain.
USA could fight the entire planet and still win
Just wondering what would happen if China just sold all their US treasury bonds etc. Would that hit America massively? Then a few months later or weeks later invade Taiwan.
No they are not but the companies who are or will be supplying potential conflicts it would mean some difficult choices would have to be made to make sure there isn't critical shortages of ammunition for everyone
not gonna drag the thread off topic any further but I really don't think they were there to beat the taliban just to keep a presence in the area at Iran and russias back door
China is far too clever do something as stupid as invade Taiwan anytime in the next 5+years.They are so dependant on foreign trade and investment at the moment to take any risks. They have looked very closely at the west’s sanction regime on Russia and know it would be a massive hit to their economy. An economy which is far weaker than they want and are willing to admit.
They have seen what western hand me downs have done to the Russian war machine and know that if they move on Taiwan, they will have to face a strong Taiwan who have been preparing for an invasion for years as well as the might of the US of A. They know that they are still not close to being a peer with the USA militarily. Additionally you can add in Japan, S Korea, Australia with most NATO members and it would be be brutally hard if not impossible to win.
They will play play the long game with Taiwan. Isolate them and slowly work to get Chinese friendly parties into power. They may saber rattle from time to time but invade no.
They did 20 years ago..
China's US treasury holdings are so vast that sales like this don't really register, they'll have a standing order to sell what they can when it's expedient to do so (like our own NTMA) knowing that if they make a move too big they'll devalue the rest of their holdings (and the amount will continue to be vast as long as their exports to the US outweigh their imports).
That conclusion is "last cargo ship costs" level of simplicity to draw a pre-defined conclusion.
Complete and utter rubbish. Not only did they fight and beat the Taliban, but even if they had to do it again, against a well armed Taliban they'd do it again in a very short time. The Taliban never beat the US, and never will. Afghans were beaten by the Taliban. The US spent 20 years modernizing and re-building an Afghanistan destroyed by Russia and the civil war that followed. This war was stopped by the Taliban ( Students) that swarmed out of the ultra-religious Pakistan Madrassa's. The US spent billions running the Afghan civil service, health, infra structure, military and police. Most of these functions had been handed over to the Hamid Kharzai Government long before they pulled out. But when the Taliban arrived and Kharzai departed, all Afghan resistance collapsed. All the training and all the support could not overcome generations of tradition and the clan system. And now, the very same Taliban, despite all the undertakings and signed treaties re women's rights etc. are taking Afghanistan back to the 6th century. But don't fool yourself, the US, unlike the Russians, who were defeated and kicked out of Afghanistan, the US left on a date that was announced 2 years in advance.
If taking out the Taliban was the US goal, they would be long gone by now...Plenty of Afghans would like to see that happen too, same as the last time after sept 11th.
Very interesting video, how Russians wage war
Presidents Biden speech
You know, the assault on Israel echoes nearly 20 months of war, tragedy, and brutality inflicted on the people of Ukraine — people that were very badly hurt since Putin launched his all-out invasion.
We’ve have not forgotten the mass graves, the bodies found bearing signs of torture, rape used as a weapon by the Russians, and thousands and thousands of Ukrainian children forcibly taken into Russia, stolen from their parents. It’s sick.
Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy — completely annihilate it
…
That’s why, tomorrow, I’m going to send to Congress an urgent budget request to fund America’s national security needs, to support our critical partners, including Israel and Ukraine.
@Gatling you repeatedly asked about the (now $105 billion) bill, well there it is about to land on congresses desk and best of luck to the loony trumpist republican minority trying to vote against Border Wall funding, Taiwan and Israel
It was claimed when Israel war started that it will distract from Ukraine, quite the opposite it’s turning out, Putin deliberately allied himself to the Axis of terror and stupidity and will pay for it.
Wait, what? The things are terrifyingly devastating, but there's nothing illegal about them.
