Its been a splendid little war.

So unfortunate
“The NPO Avtomatiki, a Roscosmos subsidiary, is on fire in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The roof of a chemical production facility is on fire. The area of the fire is 1000 sq.m.
NPO Avtomatiki one of the largest enterprises in the Russia in the field of development and production of electronic control systems for missile complexes.
On June 12, 2024, the company was included in the US sanctions list as a manufacturer and supplier of control systems and electronic equipment to Russian military customers.”

That last explosion more like an IED than a mine.
Looks like that thing was loaded
Medal Count
USA - 26
RuZZia - 0
My guess is that ruzzia will use Gerberas to locate F-16s that are parked outside of shelters.
If a Gerbera locates a parked F-16, then an Iskander could take it out in 15 minutes or less.
Going to have to step up protection and have jets ready to move
I am wondering which borders are allowing the bulk of the illegal immigrants into Russia—the Stans, Western Europe or the Far East (mostly China?) or the Russian East Coast?
I believe most of our illegals enter over our Southern Border, but some come from Canada, and some come in either on the East or the West Coast.
What is your point?
If Putin currently has 520k in the field and intends to increase to 690k by the end of the year, that is an increase of 170,000 troops. However, since casualties are around 1100 to 1200 a day, figure 35,000 per month or around 175,000 losses by the end of the year. Russia’s army will not be growing, it may even be shrinking if the meat wave method continues to be used.
Doesn’t sound like winning to me.
Interesting.
“Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced in a statement that Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas leader, was killed in Tehran, where he was attending the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president. The statement said that he and an Iranian security guard were targeted at the place of their residence and further details will be announced.”
I’m at the point where WOMEN need to stick together no matter what. Maybe SEX supersedes EVERYTHING?
RACISM is so last year! My son had his DNA done recently. It also gave background on both mother and father. I was surprised to learn I was 6 to 9 percent far, far eastern. So I guess my petit nobility Prussian ancestors had Mongol antecedents. How many of us are really a “pure” WHITE person? Have any of the racist dopes in this country heard of HYBRID VIGOR. It is part of the strength of America!
“Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas leader, was killed in Tehran”
Good shooting.
It is my understanding that a lot of RUssian bigwigs invested-in/stole prime Crimean vacation property. Also a lot of elderly Russian pensioners moved to this warmer climate. I’m sure all these Russian investers/residents are begging the Russian government to protect them. Many will want to flee Crimea if things get a lot worse, and protecting access to and behavior at the Kersh Bridge will be critical in that case, especially as that last of 3 big ferries is now badly damaged.
Russia no longer is able to bring in large military objects since the rail bridge was weakened by the burning oil train set afire by the major truck bombing some time ago exploding on the auto traffic bridge. I doubt that Ukraine wants to destroy the bridge so long as it cannot be used for major military assistance. They just want all the Russians who invaded Crimea after 2014 to pack their cars and drive back to Russia. Of course if there is a major attack on Crimea there will be a mad rush for the bridge. Order will need to be maintained, so it makes sense for a lot of Russian military to be nearby. Naturally, they will also have the first chance to escape if Ukraine forces close in on them.
It might be useful to keep watch on the Russian end of the Kersh Bridge to see if Russia is preparing sites to temporarily house and process masses of Crimea refugees.

Separately, Hizbollah number two Fuad Shukr (also wanted by the US, for his role in the 1983 Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut) was also killed..
