They should keep pagers away from missile test launches

Someone needs to put that to Benny Hill music.
6th failed launch in few months
With so much money and resources being focused on this war I'd imagine many vanity projects like the space program are suffering.
One week left to retake Kursk as per Putin’s deadline and that’s going backwards
Also ISW, Telegraph and others report that up to 40,000 troops were transferred to Kursk now, so much for armchair generals proclaiming Russia won’t fall for it, notice how we don’t hear anything about Povrovsk anymore either from usual suspects
Deadline is oct 15 now.
Until it isn’t 😅
Which year 😄
Russia has plenty to recruit from I tell ya 😂

Id say you’ll soon be paying high class hooker money for the likes of a plumber in Moscow.
Who's manning all the ships taking part in the joint exercises with the Chinese, or are all the Russian ships operated by remote control with no crews onboard? 😶
The same exercises where Russia claims more ships are partaking than all of their fleets had to begin with before this war started, never mind chunk of black fleet being sent to bottom of sea?
Perhaps they gave China some free oil so they'd go along with it, and promise not to mention that the two hundred ships is actually a leaky tugboat that was rescued from a scrapyard?
You're jumping the gun there by assuming they have somebody alive to operate a remote control
as soon as 3 days to Kiev is complete
Something went boom
is it not Halloween time a la Russian style . Russia do everything big because it is such a powerful nation and it reckons that it is the best at everything!!!!!!!
It's all going according to plan,Apparently!
Seems the Russians are threatening to use their new "avangard" hypersonic missiles in response to western supplied ballistic missiles hitting targets in Russia. These are meant to be launched like nuclear warhead MIRVs from a sarmat ICBM missile in a low earth orbit, reaching speeds of over 20 mach.
Trouble is they don't work. Back to the drawing board Putin!
Every year!
I would imagine the Ukranians would send a drone into the open nuclear missile silo if the Russians actually tried to launch.
First time FAB's have reached this city. Very frustrating when a few extra patriots would never allow this.
Power outages in the city as a result.
The Lancet UAV has been an effective weapon for Russia against Ukrainian artillery and air defences. It looks like the Ukrainians may have found a strong counter measure against them.
That rising column of fire, smoke & debris reminds me of that auld '50's Quatermast of the Pit film in the final battle with the ancient martians reincarnated, it even has the 2 "evil looking eyes", all it needs is the "devil" type horns. I'm beginning to think it's CGI film effects LOL!

Yesterdays episode was on Russian failures in Kursk and more interestingly an interview with Bloomberg writer who just published book on sanctions against Russia
Interesting point made near end that even tho Ukrainians haven’t targeted Russian energy infrastructure (as that enters questionable territory of war crimes) its falling apart on its own as Russia lost access to markets to get replacements, they cobble together solutions but often takes weeks and they have to keep dipping into their gold reserves which are rapidly dwindling especially now that they get much less than oil cap for their oil
The Russian rumour mill is in full swing trying to comprehend how the Ukrainians are getting through their defences to destroy the ammo depots. They are suggesting “invisible drones” that cannot be picked up by radar.
Remember when Ukraine were hitting Crimea hard, whatever happened to that, was their a strategic aim?
Patent ******: Method for remotely (via directed satellite emissions) of exciting the atoms in a lithium ion battery
🤣
tl.dr; it’s pagers
Sink good chunk of the Russian Black Sea fleet and open up trade by breaking up the blockade?
Which they done, with shipping volumes that earn Ukraine much needed funds now exceeding prewar levels
Next step they should blockade Russian trade from black sea
Overturning the Russian advantage in the Black Sea is something Ukraine don't get enough credit for. Russia had total control and the Ukrainian navy was wiped out almost immediately.
