A Ukrainian tank was hit by two Russian Lancet kamikaze drones at once. After the first drone strike, a fire started on the tank, the crew quickly reacted and extinguished it. This was followed by a second strike by a kamikaze drone, the result of the strike is difficult to distinguish, but something caught fire in the area of the engine compartment.
Rare footage of the interception of the Ukrainian M142 HIMARS MLRS missile by the Russian Buk air defense system has been published. HIMARS MLRS rockets are a difficult target for air defense, they are not large in size and fly at high altitude and speed, only an experienced air defense calculation can intercept HIMARS missiles, since the decision time is less than 10 seconds.
Reported for derailing thread with whataboutism about Iraq.just like their reliable intelligence on Iraq WMD

proof is what you guys lack
sanctions are not binding and legal if not issued by unsc
that defines your posts
That’s a misunderstanding the EU can’t take on Russia. War is much about economy. Russia economy is smaller than Italy. If Italy turns to war mode like WW2, Italy can produce more weapons than Russia. Note, Russia today is just a fraction of USSR.
Posted 4 days ago on twitter.
When Russia is tasked with destroying the European Union, Russia does not intend to stop the war. Putin wants victory in Ukraine to move onto more invasions. As Putin has done throughout career as President/Prime Minister of Russia.
Europe must be prepared for a potential war with Russia, and a potential war with Russia with no help from Russia Republicans.
Russia in February 2022 did not send in entire Russian military against Ukraine. Nor in mid-2022. Russia is saving equipment for a large scale invasion of Europe if Ukraine seeks peace with Russia. Russia wants Ukraine neutral during a war with EU.
Zell Miller exposing the concept that to fight and win a war you need overwhelming firepower and a military large enough to thoroughly defeat your enemy. EU does not have enough to win against Russia, said NATO chief. Globally, Russia has the largest army of heavy weapons.
To win against modern huge armies, you need significant and substantial overwhelming firepower in one or more categories.
(1) missiles/airpower bombs (many thousands of cruise missiles and smart bombs)
(2) drones bombing (10K+ and ammo)
(3) artillery (10K+ and ammo)
These are range weapons that can destroy the enemy before ground assaults.
EU nations do not have enough overwhelming firepower.
Not everybody can be Finland, protected by snow and swamps. With a military for a civilian population of 5 million vs Russian 147 million population, catered to setting Russia in for a trap if Russia attacks.
Those drones dropping bombs and explosives are doing for, (without casualties), what it would cost many Ukrainian lives to throw those grenades and the precision of those drops are worth more than many artillery with ammo. Though drones are susceptible to EW, that is why you have artillery too. Balance of huge numbers of drones, artillery, and precision missiles and bombs. You could prevent a war because Russia would not want to pick a fight.
The overwhelming majority in Ukraine including Donbass voted for the Ukrainan constitution. They are legally bound by it.You are an American or at least your profile here shows that. The least I would expect of an American was to understand basic English. English being native to England and not the US, should not play a role here, I assume.
I never claimed that being a Russian speaker or having Russian as your mother tongue in Ukraine equals being an ethnic Russian. That would be a ridiculous claim seeing that the vast majority of Ukrainians speak Russian as their mother tongue.
My sole claim was that there are millions of ethnic Russians in Ukraine who since Ukraine gained independence in 1991, have usually (vast majority of them) looked towards Russia rather than EU or say Poland (which is where the "West" begins for Ukraine). The majority of those millions of ethnic Russians happen to inhabit areas (in their majority) that are now controlled by Russia. Crimea, Donbas etc. comes to mind.
It is not really breaking news, that a lot of them if not the vast majority, don't want to be a part of Ukraine in its current form.
Ukraine, regardless of what happens in the future, will have a massive problem of winning over this population in particular given events since 2014.

Now, you can claim some ridiculous "Russian agenda" here or just realize that events on the ground are a little bit more complex and not as black and white as the mainstream propaganda media (every media is usually that, propaganda or at the very least biased and following some kind of editorial line) in the West is usually excelling at since the conflict began. Not much different from their Russian counterparts, albeit their propaganda take the cake.
And quite frankly, the West, US, as often has been the case ever since USA took the "Western mantle" from historical European powers which gave birth to the same newly created USA, it was a severe mistake not to fully integrate Russia (a European and Christian nation) with the remaining Europe and collective West, instead of pushing Russia (largest country in the world and the richest in terms of natural and mineral wealth in the world) towards China and the non-Western world.
The potential long-term effects of this idiotic US policy could become catastrophic long-term.
In Sweden, you have to apply for approval for a demonstration.Huh what ??? Are you kidding me .. every single protest in Western nation is PROPERLY REGISTERED BY GOVT + POLICE SYSTEMS & later on down the year within their parliament a senator voices those Protests & debates them to tackle this policy. Just look at your pathetic P@ki-land jahil / nialaak / Gang mentality .. of society eh ? No one utters a word of protests front of Police? They're chicken Sh!t even to go against corrupted officials in power. That is freaking difference btw west & YOU loser minds whole nation awaam totally. I stick to my statement good will come out in France.
Sure, I ignore historical fact and make up percentage.....You proceed to ignore actual historical facts and start to talk about anecdotes and made up percentages.
The fact on the ground is that there are millions of ethnic Russians in Ukraine, mostly inhabiting areas of Ukraine that are currently under the control of Russia such as most of Donbas, large parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Oblast as well as obviously Crimea which was incorporated into Russia already 9 years ago and which has a Russian population that makes up 90% of Crimea's total population. Or at least 85% on top of my memory since I last checked the demographics years ago.
Most Ukrainains speak Russian as their mother tongue, obviously that does not make them Russians. Never claimed that. However it speaks volume to the reality of Ukraine which is that of a merely 32 year old country that very much is an artificial country made up by historically parts of modern-day Ukraine that belonged to foreign entities (Poland, Hungary, Russia, Crimean Tatars etc.) for far, far, longer than the concept of a Ukrainian national state.
Not pro or anti anything as I wrote, I am indifferent to this conflict as far as which party "wins" it.
Confirmed by your favorite source the russian ministry of defence?1 or 2 confirmed T-90 losses..
First of all, if you think Iran can sink the 2 Aircraft Carrier, you are a bit naive.Seizure of Megaupload create a wave of hate among Anonymous militants, they did several DDOS attacks, that way it could be justified a internet shutdown of USA, it was 19 January 2012. And two days after a Iranian boat sink near Hormuz, when USA Aircraft Carriers were passing by pairs under Iranian threats.
You can imagine how fast can happen a war escalation if Iran sink 2 USA carriers, BTW New Chinese Year was 23 January 2012. I imagine ICBM overflying Russia and China to Iran and detonating over Russian and Chinese cities before arrive to Iran.
Nuclear war is not the end of the world. USA have enough ABM shields. And maybe it's technically impossible launch any kind of nuke over USA, even if Russian and China launch all their long range rockets against USA.
Nuclear war could be the end of Europe as rich zone and the end of China and Russia as nuclear powers. I.e: The start of new American century.
I think USA ABM shields could work in dead hand mode, i.e: even if the operators dont want, USA mainland will be protected, 0% error ratio, no margin for human errors, that can be done under a legal point of view: it's not needed Sleepy Joe permission to launch a ICBM interceptor.
But what is impossible from a legal point is what you talk about automatic NATO nuclear response: That's false.
USA needs president permission to launch nukes. And France president already said than French nukes are for defend French people and it's not to protect NATO.
France's Macron suggests he won't fire nukes at Russia even if Putin uses them in Ukraine, undercutting Western threats
French President Emmanuel Macron in a TV interview Wednesday said that a nuclear attack on Ukraine might not meet France's threashold for escalation.www.businessinsider.com
I think Ukraine already had ATACMS
Hopefully the new weapons can make it possible to hit the logistics network in all of Ukraine occupied by the Russians and most of Crimea. Would obviously make their lives more miserable.
Look in wartime if IRAN can sink 1 aircraftFirst of all, if you think Iran can sink the 2 Aircraft Carrier, you are a bit naive.
Second, all this have nothing to do with Satellite Jamming
Thirdly even if Iran sink a US carrier, it won't lead to nuclear war, Iran don't have nuclear weapon, Iran will be flattened but it will not be with nuclear weapon.
And finally, US don't have that much ABM that can hold on to 5000 or so warhead....... So yes, if one nuke go off, it's end of the world, it's naive to think otherwise.;
If Iran sink 1 Carrier (let's assume they can do that) that would mean US will basically send EVERYTHING they have in the region to have a free for all, they won't move anything off outside Middle East area (There are 2 Fleet and 7 Airbase in the Middle East, more than enough naval and air power to destroy Iran if that happened)Look in wartime if IRAN can sink 1 aircraft
WITH China attacking on South China sea
WITH RUSSIA attacking Ukraine
yeah sinking 1 aircraft carrier is big deal by Iran THAN?
If Iran is nuked, Iran remain forces will attack PET DOG Isreal
who will than attack Saudi
who than will trigger PAKISTAN to attack Isreal
who than will trigger India to attack Pakistan
