I didn't see them say "we are Nigerians" way to exclude 80% of the frontline troops there Russia how bigoted.

It's the same playbook that worked so incredibly well with the hard left in the Cold War. "We're exactly what you've been asking for. Here, our propaganda proves it!" Few will go to actually check the veracity of what they're told. The most prominent of those that go and stay are often on the lam and have little choice but to go along with the line, or are the truest of believers.

Imagine losing all these ships to a country with no navy. It’s almost as embarrassing as when they lost to Japan

Yes.

Yes, I hate modern journalistic "standards" as much as you do, but the article itself is pretty good despite the headline. Turns out Ukraine shutting down that pipeline has had some major knock-on effects for Orban.

So much for the BSF.

Russian website, so you'll have to use a translator, but Gazprom has posted its first annual loss since 1999. So much for that thriving export market outside of Europe.

Turns out those suckers are built damn tough. Tougher than even I could imagine.

This war removed all doubt a large percentage of the noncommunist far right can just as easily be programmed to do an instant 180 on their political position(s) so they can continue to run opposite of the communist leftist democrats.

The BBC have an article up about the Ukrainian claims of finishing the job on the Rostov-on-Don. Most interesting thing IMO however:
On the one hand it would be fucking hilarious if the Ukies sank it after all the time and money Russia has spent on it's refit (obligatory reminder this refit has taken longer than it did for the US to build a fucking nuclear powered carrier from scratch). On the other however, as long as it is around the Russians will continue to pour resources they can ill afford into maintaining it for stupid fucking reasons, and that's resources they're not pouring into shit that would actually be useful (not just in Ukraine, but in general).
I don't remember hearing about that, and I'm kinda conflicted on it.

Me too. Apparently this guy was just some Commie who got purged twice by Stalin and Zhukov, he's not symbolic like the Moskva in that sense.

Ukrainian F-16s photographed with MAWS pylons along with AIM-9M and AIM-120B.
Allegedly JHMCS and AIM-9X were also sent.

I doubt real dogfights are much of a thing in this one but if they get into them that is some big dick energy.

Later blocks of AIM-9X are BVR capable thanks to datalink and lock-on after launch capability, but this depends on which block was sent.

Is it even dogfighting if its just planes launching smart rockets at each other?

Is it really cutting edge if it first entered service in 2003?
I suppose by Russian standards it is. There's a reason we went from M all the way to X with it, though, simply because of what a massive leap in capability it was.

There's a solid argument it's not with these. In a2g oriented squadrons I've heard BFM training has gotten a little lazy since there's not much maneuvering when you can reliably get off a 90 degree off boresight shot, just look and shoot.

Warthunder says it is. They just had to refefine dogfighting so they could justify including missiles after saying they wouldn't.

As you said "by Russia standards". Russia is using Tanks from the 60s, jets from the 70s, SAMs from the 80s, Attack Helos (until they run out and those will be revert to the 70s too) & missiles from the 90s (until they run out). So 2003 is advanced future tech for Russia.
That's where I'm at as well.
TBF this is the sub that Ukraine fucked up already that was already considered to be effectively a write-off. The only reason it wasn't scrapped was because it had been hit in dry dock so sea water hadn't fucked up everything inside (an oversight Ukraine remedied this time)
Wonking I heard was the RoD was patched up enough to allow it to move and possibly submerge, and its possible it was still capable of launching Kalibr because unlike an Ohio, the Kalibrs it launches are packaged inside torpedo housings that have the same circumference as standard Russian torpedoes, just longer (which is why the Kilos need to hit a dry dock get the capability).
There were a handful of possible scenarios of what Russia would have done before this latest ACKing, from what I think was most likely to least.
1) even though the innards were likely still fucked and systems broken or semi-functional, return to service as a Kalibr launcher.
2) even though Innards were fucked, and it couldn't launch anymore, deploy it anyway as a national pride/don't let them see you bleed thing; its not like the Kilos have a lot to fear at the moment from a country with no navy and no ability to use ASW helos at range.
3) Move it to Novorossiysk to either mothball it till the war is over or try to repair it.
4) Try to move it out of the black sea and get it to St. Petersburg for actual repairs.
Always has been, etc.
