(I would probably shit myself too, to be honest.)
There is also a video of bombing on battery of M777(or what is reported as M777)(Orlan grenade drop is kind of underwhelming).

Also, GRU was spotted at Azovstal, before surrenders took place, but reporting on it was banned until today.

New variant of armbands, the orange one. We have white ones, but here is something going on. There are around 100 transport cars have arrived. Around 50 buses, empty, with inscription "300th", well, that is for wounded. I don't know what it is, but it is an interesting event, transformed into this powerful spectacle. They can, can show off.
Also, new footage from DNR about Azovstal surrender.(With shilling to join DNR security forces at the end.). There is an interview with a women in the middle.

Some of them look very bad. I suppose this should be expected in the absence of medications for a month.

I remember that person on the right from this vid where you can clearly see that his tongue was hanging out of his mouth:

Vid is only 1 or 2 days old; it looks less swollen by now. Any idea what happened?
He seems to have a neck wound so maybe infected and/or paralyzed ?
 
As far as I know, the hit on the M777 battery wasn't by the Orlan 10, which has no offensive capabilities despite probably being the best drone used in this war, but an attack by a Cube suicide drone, further fueling my opinion that suicide drones are complete fucking memes for now and fairly worthless in real warfare (though to be fair, it may have killed the operators with shrapnel). I have no doubt that battery got destroyed eventually after the video ended but they didn't get lucky with the GRAD either I think.

Куб-БЛА (reads as Kub-BLA, translates to Cube-UAV)
It's smaller than it might look on a photo with no reference.

How did I miss that you've mentioned it (cube) in your post, I sure don't know.
Pity this little thing doesn't have an English wiki page.

Bydlo alcoholicSpokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova explained the difference between Ukraine and Finland joining NATO.
She said that Russia has no knowledge of Finland getting pumped with weapons, forming national battalions and having dangerous pathogen research in a dozen Pentagon sponsored labs.

Supposedly the IAI Harop did well in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict because it actually homes onto radar emitters that AA vehicles have.
 
Do I need to remind you that official Russian channels said they want to put Ukrainan government on trail?
You can find a lot of stuff on Russian channels that isn't true too, y'kno?
Well, it is easy to see what's Russia plan was, because it was consistent with all their previous plans. They wanted to destabilize Ukraine and make it pupet country for a long time. For a long time they tried to push their sphere of influence to the west.
Like the West did? And no, it isn't clear because this is the first time they've done something quite like this since Putin has been in power. This isn't truly analogous to Chechnya and less so Georgia. Meanwhile their actual M.O. that has been on display throughout Syria gets ignored, funny that.

I'm not sure how you denazify a country controlled by a nazi government without removing the nazi government and replacing it with one you control
So do you still think they're going to try to install an entire new administration? Was their plan to just take Kiev, install a friendly leader, and then the Donbass would automatically become two free regions without all this fighting? Do they need to march to Lviv too by this metric?
My point being that it's easy to be snarky but the only thing backing this up is their go at Kiev.
 
I find it hard to believe they had none-not that it isn't the case but antibiotics are basic bitch supplies in bunkers.

It's also possible they used them all up. Some of those injuries look very serious, the kind that require a doctor to make a quick assessment and do some cutting, which medics aren't really trained to do.

They probably were convinced that retreating and having to hide in Azovstal was never going to happen so it wouldn't surprise me that they weren't prepared at all for this.

For at least 8 years they have been told that Russian soldiers are inferior alcoholic brutes, dumb, lazy, uncivilized and that Russian equipment is inferior too.
Morale of Russian soldiers is bad, no fighting spirit and majority of Russian soldiers hate Putin so they would swap sides in no time.
NATO/US on the other hand are superpowers who gave them 'superior' training and some of their 'superior' equipment. They probably were convinced too that NATO/US would interfere and that they would be fighting side by side against those dumb Russians. How could they ever lose?

I guess that's the downside of propaganda; when your own army underestimates their opponent they become less cautious and less sharp. If your opponent has a few successes then it probably happened unexpected or because they were lucky.

The downside for Russian soldiers is if they get captured there is a higher chance they will be tortured and/or killed because Azov and many Ukrainian soldiers see them as inhumane barbaric creatures.
I remember some US journo who tweeted that Russian people look different to pain and death, that the loss of relatives doesn't affect them that much.
 
As far as I know, the hit on the M777 battery wasn't by the Orlan 10, which has no offensive capabilities despite probably being the best drone used in this war, but an attack by a Cube suicide drone, further fueling my opinion that suicide drones are complete fucking memes for now and fairly worthless in real warfare (though to be fair, it may have killed the operators with shrapnel).

The US probably has some super cool suicide drones but they're clearly not sharing any.

They do arm them with grenades. Here are videos of them.

We fulfill a lot of task, if we are being honest. We preform aerial reconnaissance, finding targets, giving coordinates to artillery, correcting artillery fire. Also, with the help of striking UAV we ourselves hit targets. We put on it 4 special HE projectiles, every projectile strikes around 10 meter area. We can use all 4 projectiles at ones on the enemy, depends on the target, also can drop projectiles one by one. You can feel the need in Unmanned Aviation. You can see all the work, such as commanding of forces by the commander and strikes on the enemy.

Distance of flight of this UAV is 110 kilometers. Full ammunition is 4 of those HE projectiles, capable of destroying automobiles, mortars, and living forces of the enemy.
From where i got them, it says that those are Orlan-10 UAV.
In other news, first trial of Ukrainian Nationalist has begun in Russia (It is Denis Muryga from "Aidar").

I am Muryga Denis Vladimirovich, born in 9 of August of 1984 in Crimea Republic, city of Alyshta. In January of 2015, from my initiative, i was taken into service in National Battalion "Aidar". Further, i was transferred into camp in Lvov Region, Verhnie Gai, to receive training. Further, was transferred into Lugansk Region, Starobelski district in battalion "Aidar" for service. In March of 2015 ,under direction of commander of company of fire support, Rachenko Igor Alexandrovich with nick name "Rubej", i was participating in special operation to blow up a bridge by "Aidar" battalion members, in results of which sentinels of DPR militia were killed.
 
Today is the first day I couldn't find this thread on the 'New Posts' section of the website. That's 3 pages of all the very latest posts for those of you that don't know. Upper Top Left.

I've not added much to the discourse I know, except a bit of shitposting, personal opinon and outright faggotry.

Things are slowing down, people are losing interest; those involved at this stage are becoming (or already are) more partisan. The shit-slinging only gets worse from here.

Thanks to all the people on the ground still posting good informative news. I check this thread daily when I can, even if I don't shitpost. I guess a lot of other people do too.

Keep spreading the information. Keep playing your part in this game of information warfare. Hopefully the world will return to something akin to 'normal' some time soon. It's (the world) got bigger problems than a super slav slapfight to contend with. Perhaps when it realises that, we can all put our heads together to better help humanity as a whole.

In the meantime, keep posting vidyas of teenagers getting their legs blown off and old grannies losing their arms 30 feet down the road when they go to buy a pint of milk!

Bond with 'M' - "We have intelligence that Russia has successfully fired a laser weapon.....

Would make a great film well done Russia
 
Thanks to @Richardface :semperfidelis:

Another unit of the 115th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refused to fight and obey orders in Severodonetsk. This time, a platoon of the 3rd battalion of the 115th brigade recorded an appeal to Zelensky and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny: "We refuse to carry out combat missions because we do not have reinforcements from behind. There is no heavy equipment. We have been waiting for reinforcements for two weeks, but there is none. We are sent to certain death. There is no command. There is no equipment and respect for people. We do not refuse to defend Ukraine, but in such conditions we refuse to carry out combat missions! Glory to Ukraine!!"
