Brexit se je v veliki meri zgodil zaradi Ruskih troll farm, ki so zmanipulirale britance na socialnih omrežjih. Podobno kot so zmanipulirali Američane 2016.

Rusi so tako krivi za vse.

Za BREXIT so krivi Britanci sami, saj so pro BREXIT politiki nagovarjali debile in njihov nacionalizem, pametni pa sploh niso šli na referendum, ker se jim je zdelo prebutasto, da bi kdo sploh glasoval za izstop iz EU. In da bi referendum celo uspel...

The document leaked from RUS MinFin says that by AUG 28, 361.4B RUB has been paid to families of KIA soldiers, 7.4M per one. Dividing would give 48838 confirmed dead. This does not include those MIA, killed separatists and WIA. Thus, UKR estimate may well be an UNDERSTATEMENT.

Some of today's captured Russians are right out of 1939.

YES!!
There it is!

The video in t e linked tweet shows an Enhanced Portable Inductive Artillery Fuze Setter (EPIAFS) in Ukrainian hands. EPIAFS is used to enter target GPS-coordinates in M982 Excalibur artillery projectiles, M395 mortar rounds and M1156 PGK fuzes.

And it looks like this EPIAFS is connected to a Precision Lightweight Universal Mortar Setter System (PLUMSS) - but I am not sure, because I never got to see one of the rare PLUMSS in real life.

Either way - awesome to see Ukraine get the best stuff the US Army has.

Ruska vladajoča stranka Enotna Rusija predsednika Vladimirja Putina je danes predlagala 4. november kot datum za izvedbo referendumov za priključitev ozemelj na jugu in vzhodu Ukrajine, ki so jih zasedle ruske sile.

"Pravilno in simbolično bi bilo, da bi glasovanje v Donbasu in na osvobojenih ozemljih potekalo 4. novembra," na dan narodne enotnosti Rusije, je na spletni strani sporočil generalni sekretar stranke Enotna Rusija, Andrej Turčak.

Po glasovanju se bodo "Doneck, Lugansk in mnoga druga ruska mesta končno vrnila v domače pristanišče. In ruski svet, ki je zdaj razdeljen s formalnimi mejami, bo ponovno pridobil svojo celovitost," je dodal po poročanju francoske tiskovne agencije AFP.

This is another map-take of Ukraine's Kharkiv offensive.

It appears Russia currently doesn't have either the ground maneuver unit reserves or artillery fires to respond locally and seal this breach.

The Ukrainians have achieved a tactical break-in and have opened a breach in the Russian forward defenses.

It remains to be seen if the Ukrainian military has enough local mobile forces to make this into an operational scale breakthrough offensive that cuts the Russian ground lines of communications to Izyum.

The only rapidly available tool for the Russians appears to be airpower.

The Russians have to commit the VKS in a big way to slow this Ukrainian break-in down and helicopter lift infantry blocking forces in front of the Ukrainians to save their logistical position at Izyum.

People should expect to hear about Russian claims of successful air strikes & Ukrainian claims of VKS jets and helicopters shot down in the next 48 hours.

Assuming this Ukrainian Kharkiv offensive gains operational level momentum.

Nemško podjetje je ponudilo Ukrajini 100 najnovejših tankov, nemška vlada je to blokirala v strahu pred Rusi zaradi plina, sami pa zaprejo 3 jedrske elektrarne! Svabi so hinavci in skopuhi!

Russia has lost, in two days (if at full strength):
Tanks: 12 ( tank co.)
APCs: 13 (mechanized rifle co. in BTR/MTLB)
Cmd Vic: 1
Arty/AT: 15 (3 mixed arty co.'s)
AD: 2 (AAA & S300)
IFV: 19 (1.5 mech. rifle co.'s)
Log/transpo: 14 (1+ motor rifle co.)

https://twitter.com/Rebel44CZ/status/15...

The equivalent strength in a battalion format is roughly 8 companies of infantry, armor, artillery, and supporting arms + command/logistics, so 2+ battalions. Or an understrength brigade.

If any western military lost this kind of equipment (not to mention manpower) in 2 days time we would have riots.

This kind of loss is almost unthinkable for a modern military. Armenia, an underequipped military on the defensive facing a technologically superior/better equipped foe who had amassed greater numbers in tough terrain, didn't suffer these losses in a 48 hour period with essentially no air force or air defense active.

*Russia* a power with the best access to heavy arms, on the defensive, in relatively easy terrain, with overwhelming airpower, & dense air defense, artillery, & armor advantage, couldn't hold off on 2 of 3 active fronts, the might of Ukraine, a power who has been on the defensive for 6 months, with one of the most complex logistics systems on planet earth (Egypt & India must be jealous of how ridiculous Ukraine's system/caliber setup is), undersupplied in armor, artillery, air defense, & with essentially no capacity for aviation beyond the line of contact aside, no capacity for air-air combat, no real strategic rocket capability, no navy for seaborne fires, limited EW, ISR overwhelmingly limited to COTS, & the need to safeguard civil infrastructure... Is putting nearly the entire combat might of the Russia military on the defensive & seizing territory from them whilst whittling down the remaining combat power they have.

It is likely that Ukraine can't sustain this level of ops for a long period, it is exhausting in manpower, stockpiles, & equipment. But for the moment, they are rolling back what was probably the 3rd most powerful army on earth, &doing so while retaining defensive positions along the rest of their positions. This isn't the "all or nothing" attack one might expect such results from, this is months of studious observation, careful marshalling of resources, humiliating trades of kilometers for time, & strategic patience.

It is difficult not to see the past week, and especially the past 48 hours, as transformational. Ukraine will likely have to pause offensive ops before too long, & that's probably a smart move. But they'll end it having recaptured land & established their capacity to combat & contest control of Ukraine from what most of us (including me) saw as a inevitable domination whose only question was "how painful can Ukraine make it".

Слава Україні!

ZA večino sranja so krivi glupi volilci.

In Američani ga serjejo okoli že od 2. svetovne vojne. Pač niso hoteli zapreti vojaških tvarn, pa je vojna za nekatere dober biznis.

Če se še tako oklepaš krivde rusov, zgodovina pač pravi, da so Angleži in Američani naredili veliko več sranja po celem svetu. Sploh v modernih časih po razpadu Sovjetske zveze. In v 19. stoletju ter prej...

Sploh Angleži, ki so služili z makovimi polji v Indiji in izvozom opija na Kitajsko.
