This is probably where they cannibalize dead tanks to repair and refit damaged/worn ones as well as conduct non-in-the-field maintenance.

Would be a good target. Kill recovery equipment and specialists

"A document of infamy: Ukraine should finally capitulate for the sake of peace. Whoever supplies her with weapons opens the door to nuclear war. If the Ukrainians surrender, perhaps Putin will be merciful."

Sickening

In other words German Commies want Ukraine to surrender to Russian Commies.

I think that applies to warships, not all ships. Might be wrong, though.

Or as a salvage ship it isn't technically a "war ship"?

That could eventually become a problem if Russia is willing to simply out die Ukraine. People are the one resource that NATO isn't going to be providing.
Ukraine has 11M males between the ages of 15 and 54. If even only half are available for military service, that's still millions of fighting-age bodies. Russia isn't going to out-die Ukraine.


Russia has 3x the population and more makes in the same cohort. They certainly could, but it would come at an incredible cost.

They should be deported to Russia. Maybe they'll be welcoming and merciful to the intelligentsia.

These random fires/failures lead me to believe there is some "secret squirrel" type stuff happening right now.

I agree. I think Ukraine has some soldiers working psyops in Russia.

Footage was shot with a potato so hard to tell. It wasn't an MBT.
And i'm kidding, i know it's at a long range. The missile was in flight for at least 5-7 seconds

This seems significant.

Large ammo depot captured by Russian forces.

Skepticism greets bold Russian claim about war aims, based on its source.

When Gen. Rustam Minnekayev made a sweeping statement on Friday that Russia's next military aim would be to seize Ukraine's entire southern coast, many analysts were skeptical, based not only on the claim, but on its source.

Why would a relatively obscure military figure announce such a major shift in policy, rather than President Vladimir V. Putin, who usually makes such pronouncements, or Defense Minister Sergei K. Shoigu, or Gen. Aleksandr V. Dvornikov, the chief Russian commander for the war in Ukraine?

General Minnekayev's official job is the organization of political propaganda work in the army's central district, which comprises a vast territory from the Volga basin to eastern Siberia. His duties normally would not involve formulating military strategy.

Yet he told a gathering of arms industry representatives in Yekaterinburg more than 1,000 miles away from the fighting that Russia was seeking to capture a swath of Ukrainian territory from the Donbas region to Moldova. That would cut off Ukraine's access to the Black Sea, General Minnekayev said, according to Russian news agencies, allowing Russia to "influence critical elements of the Ukrainian economy" and gain "yet another point of access" to the pro-Russian enclave of Moldova known as Transnistria.

According to the defense ministry's website, General Minnekayev, who is stationed in Yekaterinburg, has been mostly involved in projects unrelated to the invasion, such as discussing the construction of an Orthodox cathedral with the clergy or indoctrinating the country's youth.

"One of our main goals is the work with the veterans and patriotic upbringing of the new generation," General Minnekayev told Red Star, the defense ministry's official newspaper, last April. "We need to tell the youth the truth about the war that our ancestors have not been fighting in vain."
. . .
General Minnekayev manages "a system of political control of officers which exists in parallel to military counterintelligence," Mr. Fyodorov said in an interview.

In Mr. Fyodorov's view, the commander was probably sanctioned by his superiors to make such a statement, which was then reported by TASS, a state-run news agency.

"Looks like fighting is ongoing among various groups in the higher echelons of power," he said.

Tatyana Stanovaya, a founder of the political consultancy R. Politik, said that General Minnekayev "is not the person who is supposed to make such statements," and that it is possible he made it "for propaganda reasons."

Moscow could not deny the statement, she said in a social media post, because it would make the Russian conservative faction "enraged." In a regular briefing, Dmitri S. Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesman, declined to comment on whether General Minnekayev's comments reflected Mr. Putin's thinking.

All these weapons being sent to Ukraine.
This is going to be a logistical cluster!@#!

Just in the last two pages i've seen the Dutch and French sending 2 types of SP artillery, the US sending M198s and M777s . This is hard enough for armies to absorb during peaceful times. It's going to be incredibly hard to do this in the middle of a freaking war.

It wouldn't shock me if a large part of this doesn't get used.
