I see your inflatable s-300s and raise you wooden HIMARS

Russians blow up wooden HIMARS with expensive, very limited Kalibur missiles

They're up to 10 so far.  I think they hit so many because they mistook the wooden frames for wooden playgrounds, their primary target.

The morale of the world's second strongest army in Ukraine:

Patton's army all over again.  Looking like Ukraine set this up nicely.

Honestly, a lot of it is very reminiscent of WWII.  Occupation camps, partisans, trenches, heavy use of tanks and artillery on both sides, war production, heavy emphasis on operational secrecy, nationalistic propaganda, etc.

Some important differences, though.  I remember, though barely, when the Gulf War was broadcast on CNN.  Well, this one is broadcast on Telegram and Twitter and TikTok of all places.  Also, a lot of it is "I heard from a friend of a friend who lives in Kyiv..."

Invader losses today:

Approx 350 troops
20 tanks
18 armoured combat vehicles
12 artillery systems
3 MLRS
1 air defence system
19 other vehicles

At this rate, in a couple years, a dozen babushkas could storm the Kremlin.

Pranked: Russian soldiers blown up by own landmines while responding to fake call

QuoteAt about 2 a.m. Monday morning, a group of Russian troops on patrol in Mariupol received reports that "Azov" fighters were hiding inside a home on the outskirts of the city

Quote"The result is one occupier minus a leg and a hospital in Donetsk. One occupier sings with Kobzon,"
Kobzon was a famous Russian singer and dead now, so the english language equivalent would be something like "sleeps with the fishes" (aka dead)

Fun fact: if they don't get a hit, they'll sign another one and try again until they do.  Satisfaction guaranteed!

Kevin fucking Sorbo should just sit over the missile silo and ride the missile to its final destination, afaiac.

What is more painfully saddening than the actual war fought on streets is that people watching the war on screen and following news on media really believe that they can understand the dynamics of international relations.

Btw, this is not a war, it is maybe gangsta clash in terms of its scale.lol

Kherson counteroffensive: US says Russian units are falling back

This is actually news from a couple of days ago, but it couldn't be discussed in detail because of the need for secrecy.  But essentially, the first line of defense was breached in at least 3 places by Ukrainian forces and many Russian soldiers were forced to retreat from their positions.

Ukrainian forces continue to inflict crushing losses.  I was joking earlier about babushkas being able to storm the Kremlin soon, but now I think I might be onto something.

No modern military can lose 20+ tanks, 30+ armored vehicles, and 20+ artillery per day and continue to be combat effective.  That's like almost the entire Afghanistan conflict per month.

I keep remembering a scene from the Hudsucker Proxy, where all employees are ordered to partake in a moment of silence in remembrance of their CEO who jumped out of the top story window that morning, and were then informed that their moment of silence would be deducted from their pay.
