Maybe all the sharks will take care of them.

Am I crazy or could the tug be carrying something that is not wanted
on the Naval ships? Like a disease?

It's fun being crazy.
And this is certainly a long trip for the Russians.

The Admiral Kuznetsov had to be accompanied by a tug to go to sea because it wasn't a question of if it broke down, but when. Their ships are so ****ty that they need the capability of a tow home to go on any kind of large scale exercise.

Apparently there's been an air raid on Kyiv? I'm not seeing anything else about it.

The air raid on Kyiv sounds pretty bad :(

Putin rattling his nuclear saber once again and other updates from the battlefield.

Today's SITREP.

Plus, the US is sending another Patriot battery, as is The Netherlands, and Italy is sending a second SAMP/T system.

Would be a shame if a Ukrainian drone boat scored a long distance hit on one of these ships…

Why would we even allow a Ukrainian Drone be near our borders? Reality is this has happened for years. These types of things happen all over the world. We do it also and they follow us.

Putin's real target is the Ukrainian people's will to keep resisting.

"If Russia continues to attack power plants, the worst-case scenario is that come winter Ukrainians could be spending up to 20 hours a day without power and heating, according to Ukraine's largest private energy company DTEK. Part of the issue is that Ukraine's thermal and hydroelectric power stations are difficult and expensive to fix."

Good look at Russia's predicament in Crimea. With the advent of ATACMS, now a deathtrap?

"According to Ben Hodges, a former commander of American forces in Europe and a senior adviser to NATO on logistics, the Ukrainians are "systematically in the process of making Crimea uninhabitable for Russian forces".

My thoughts on Crimea have morphed a bit since Ukraine's offiensive attempt last summer. Without the threat of a Ukrainian land offensive, what's to keep Russia from moving most of their valued military assets elsewhere and simply play the rope-a-dope waiting game in Crimea indefinitly?

That is the direction Ukraine is forcing Russia to go. The article addresses the downside for Russia:

"Vladimir Putin saw Crimea, linked to the Russian mainland by the Kerch Bridge since 2018, as an unsinkable aircraft-carrier. Its logistics hubs, air bases and the Black Sea Fleet, operating out of Sevastopol, could be used to dominate the south of Ukraine, close off its vital grain exports, and provide a steady flow of men and materiel to push Ukraine out of areas to the north. Mr Putin has invested huge sums in military infrastructure in Crimea, all of it now under threat."

Russia risks one of its handful of new and still developmental S-500 SAM systems to protect Crimea. It's a testament to the damage that ATACMS is doing there.

I hope right before the $$ drone destroys it, it has a bad launch and it sends one of its missiles into an orc ship sinking it.

Sweet Jesus, look at the attack icons (the rifle)

Russia seems to be having a bit of a bank run/liquidity crisis due to new sanctions.

Intelligence Tug

Here's a good rundown of the pros and cons from France's donation of Mirage fighters to Ukraine. The 2000-5's radar and EW suite are a major upgrade over what Ukraine has now and it will also broaden the variety of weapons that can be effectively employed in the face of Russian air defenses.

The boys fought back, about the results later.

To the 17 units of the enemy's equipment that stormed Georgiivka, 2 more were added, so the total number is 19, of which the boys successfully destroyed 14 units. Heavy fighting continues.

Putin spoke about the "end of the war" and voiced conditions for the start of negotiations with Ukraine

Ukrainian troops must be completely withdrawn from "L/DPR", Kherson and Zaporizhzhia within the administrative borders.

As soon as the real withdrawal of troops begins and Kyiv refuses to join NATO, Moscow will order a ceasefire and the start of negotiations, Putin said.

According to him, Russia needs Ukraine's neutral, non-aligned and nuclear-free status for a peaceful settlement.

"The status of Crimea, "L/DPR", Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions as regions of the Russian Federation should be fixed in international treaties."

All Western sanctions against Russia should be lifted

"If Kyiv and the West refuse the new peace proposal, further conditions will be different," he added.
