Ukraine - Russia Conflict

[Ex3]

Thoughts? As horrible as it would be to receive such a message, I think it's a great use of technology. Those families certainly won't get any answers from the Putin gov't.

Ukraine is scanning faces of dead Russians, then contacting the mothers

Interesting PSYOPs campaign. It's a bit grotesque. *Sends picture to family* "Hey, your son is dead lol."

The Ukrainian govt would definitely be more transparent about the soldiers whereabouts than the Russian government ever was/is. IE the Little Green Men.

 

[RackMaster]

I think it's the winning side of dealing with the dead. Instead of the Russians leaving them to rot, tossing them in mass graves or incineration.

I read somewhere that someone once wrote, "War is hell".....

Allegedly, the US is confirming the Moskva was sunk by two Ukrainian Neptune missiles.

Pentagon attributes Moskva's sinking to Ukraine missile strikes: reports

Where it gets even better is buried in the second link. Of a crew of about 500, 440-ish are unaccounted for. Even losing half that number is a big deal.

Russia's military is a shit show. Putin knows all he has left are threats and bluffs.

If you skip forward to about 35-40 seconds, you can see alleged video of the attack.

I love Ward but none of that video is from the attack. That's old video, possibly from a test or something. The attack supposedly occurred around 0100 local; that's when the distress call was first reported.

Ward is a great talking head and I like to listen to what he has to say but he has issues with examining the information he's received to check its validity. He did another video on the USN shootdown of a USAF RF4 and the WSO from that event ended up commenting and saying hey it didn't happen like this here's how it did happen. I think he just gets a little too keen to push stuff out sometimes.

I’ve seen that same video pushed by other sources. Good catch, guys. Non-binaries, or whateverthefuck.

Nothing to add here other than this is a pretty cool pic (the tankers inside would've disagreed) and the album cover comments are on point - the "ZZ Top if they were into death metal" comment is solid.

Test of a Norwegian anti-ship missile (NASM).
65 km out to sea would be out of sight from the surface.

If you're ever bored, this will give you a real time look at what's flying...including mil flights. Check the most tracked flights and I guarantee several of ours will be there.

As I type this, 2 KC-135's from Mildenhall are up, showing tanker tracks over Romania and Poland.

FORTE10, a Global Hawk out of Sicily, holding over Romania on the Moldavian border
An RAF C-17 chunking along, looks like he'll land at Jasionka in Poland
NATO11, the NATO AWACS, in a nice round orbit over Romania
JUICY32, a Marine C-130J in a tanker track over southern Poland
More RAF stuff
The LAGER flights (KC-135 in their respective orbits)

ADS-B is a wonderful thing.

I saw a French AF King Air cruising around as well.

Russia is continuing its offensive on Mariupol. They're attempting to take Ukraine's Black Sea Rim, I don't see that tenable long term for them but I suppose if they just level cities and make them uninhabitable that is a way to take land.

Based on previous sources, I think we should start calling the "forced evacuation" of Children into Russia from Mariupol and their forced adoption by Russian families what it is. A war crime and genocide. Your bare minimum is mass kidnapping if you're not going to do that. We're now in the endemic stage, somehow COVID bullshit stayed on our TV for two years. But I'm starting to see a whole lot less Ukraine coverage when I do watch the news. Paper news still covering it pretty hardcore.

Check out this guy, he is in Mariupol and you'd be surprised by the support Russia gets from the locals.

Well, half the police force defected to Russia and helped forceably remove residents through the Russian "Humanitarian Corridors".

So the fact that some of these idiots would help murder their neighbors is not surprising, even if it is only for a worthless grip of rubles.

Tribalism in another form.
