Ukrainian Tochka-U's do their thing. Region and city unknown (link).



Russian Mi-24 patrols Donetsk (link 1, link 2)



Chechens fight in Mariupol (link)



People walk on the road between Chuguev and Izyum, which is covered in landmines. Apparently, someone got blown up (link)

 
yeah
the sad part is that if american glowies hadn't couped yanukovich out of ukraine then putin would probably have remained the mostly peaceful ruler he was back then. crimea and donbas would still be under ukrainian control, sevastopol would still be a lease to russia, there would be no european war right now, and both russia and ukraine would be a lot better off overall.
That's what the US does, it stirs shit up. What I do not get is... Why? Collapse of the USSR left all of its former republics in shambles, including Russia. There was a growing pro-EU sentiment. Russian resource-based economy wasn't exactly a threat to the US-dominated globohomo world order. Why?!
 
Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if any salvage was on it's way to Area 51 or something.

It could be total bullshit (because this war is already gay mind games) but I saw a report stating that the US was able to track the launch/deployment of the missile. Not that it's going to give any world shattering revelations, but it's still intel nonetheless. (Not that I don't fully believe the US is capable of creating said missile in private.)

That's why I think it's such an interesting development. There's so many questions raised about its usage.
Having been in that line of work for a 21-year military career, and having actually worked at an alphabet agency, can assure you we have plenty of people/facilities devoted to studying foreign weapons/equipment. Am also quite sure we were able to track launch/deployment of this weapon.
 
The really telling thing is going to be if this is a one-off, or if we start seeing more of these being used. If the former, then it's likely just a field test with a side of saber rattling at NATO. If the latter, then it indicates that Russia is having one of two serious problems: a severe shortage of guided munitions and/or a fear of Ukrainian AA that is compelling them to switch over to standoff weapons.
It really will be telling.

Once again, I'd take this with a grain of salt, but I've seen two numbers tossed around for the amount of Hypersonic missiles that Russia has; 5 and 50. If they really only have 5, they would have just used 20% of their stockpile for one target... in Ukraine. I think that number is unlikely, but even still, if they only have 50 that a not so small percentage for Ukraine.

If we see more being used liberally, I don't think it would be outside the realm of possibility to assume that either China would be providing them with the materials to create more (given their current trade limitations) or that they really are running out of supplies. Given that they're one of the newest conventional weapons in the public eye right now, I find it hard to believe they would have a 'fuck you' amount of these to just throw around willy-nilly as they're probably rather costly to create.

"If I were the devil I wouldn't stop until I had a 3rd of the world's real estate and 4/5ths of its population. I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree..."

Russia is gonna be forever a threat until it gets a government that will disarm the country. Specifically the nukes.
I was actually asking the same question when this shit started. Me and a couple of mates didn't come up with anything more sensible.

why? because they are ideological fanatics.
according to their dogma, liberal democracies by definition never fight wars against each other, so if the whole planet was controlled by liberal democracies then there would never be any wars again, and no human rights violations either.
so to them, turning every country on the planet into a liberal democracy is a noble, benevolent and admirable pursuit.

it is not unlike the old soviet marxist doctrine, which had the long term goal of turning all nations into socialist states in order to bring about world communism.

You have the means to be a rival again, Russia did cock block the US in the Syria after all. So you have to be brought down before you can cause even more problems.
 
Chechens fight in Mariupol (link)
"They again reported to Kadyrov from Mariupol, in the end they removed their shame 🤦‍♂
For the first few seconds, they didn't know how to shoot from the RPG, they were afraid to lean out, most likely they were afraid of a sniper. As a result, they shot somewhere into the sky and the rest of the time they hid in a bunch behind the car
Well, the meat was sent and they said shoot over there and that's it"

From telegram lol

No, they really don't. If the US committed more resources to Syria, then Assad would probably be dead right now, America just didn't have a great choice between ISIS, generic Islamists, commie Kurds, and other assorted sand people. Russia has a tiny economy. If the US really needed to, they could spend the entire GDP of Russia in military spending targeted against them alone.

Because the Western Jews, fearful of the valuable resources in russia, were afraid of being outjewed by the Eastern Jews.
 
Was surprised to see them use the hypersonic missile in a non-existential (for them) war. I wouldn't have used the missile, but then again I wouldn't have invaded Ukraine, or if I had I would have had a workable logistics plan, or a workable plan, period.
But then again you're just niggercattle like the rest of us that doesn't have a whole intelligence gathering apparatus at its disposal to make decisions with so who gives a fuck about what you would do and are surprised about, period. You wouldnt do this or that.. based on info from the tranny interwebs? you read a few books? go fuck yourself you dumb nigger.

I would say part of it is that our government isn't nearly as cohesive as it seems in policy making. For starters every 8 years maximum we change the top guy. Every time that happens new flunkies get appointed to the state department. They stay there the rest of their lives, and tend to have the policies of the people who appointed them. It leads to a lot of policy making and action that doesn't always really have a consistent flow to it. Those unelected guys have a significant amount of power over policy in some cases.
