“Canada will hand over the An-124 aircraft confiscated in Russia to Ukraine, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.
“We are preparing to confiscate other assets of the aggressor in Canada and transfer them to Ukraine as part of the new package of sanctions, in particular, against the Volga-Dnepr company,” said Shmyhal.
** An-124 “Ruslan” is one of the largest production cargo planes in the world.
Russia operates 36 An-124, of which 10 belong to the sanctioned Volga-Dnepr, which transports cargo for the Russian oil and gas and aerospace industries.”

Tucker Carlson isn’t very smart for using the altered documents. His staffers frequent FR, too. Tucker is going to have a very bad week starting tomorrow when the Dominion trial starts and he throws his viewers and President Trump under the bus for all the Tuckerbots to see when he is called to testify. Tucker is controlled opposition and a collaborator in The Steal.
The Russian fortifications look fearsome in photos, but apparently not so much on the ground, as many were built by local contractors without any knowledge of how to build military fortifications and using the cheapest stuff thy could get away with.
The dragons teeth are not anchored and those that are are anchored to each other with chains both of which can easily be pushed aside. Many of the trenches are straight lines and easily breached.
Plus, the whole system depends on having enough men, machines, and artillery to use the along their entire length - all things Russia is having problems with at present.
Mine fields are easily breached by mine clearing vehicles. Bridging equipment supplied by US. Then there are pontoon bridges etc.
Holes look to be 8-10 in diameter so that might help ID what weapon was used.
I really believed in his bravery and heroism. Such a disappointment. It cost him his wife apparently.

Sad; couldn’t happen to a nicer guy ... the fraud.
“A stuck Russian MT-LB armored personnel carrier was destroyed by three modified 40x53mm HEDP grenades, dropped from a drone of the 110th Mechanized Brigade in Opytne, #Donetsk Oblast.”

“It cost him his wife apparently”
I didn’t know that.
“At the end of May, he revealed he and his wife would be separating.
“My wife and I are separating. I’m selling my house and everything I own. I’m returning to Ukraine to fight the rest of the war. Then after I’m rebuilding Ukraine,” he wrote on Twitter.”
“Now, he’s been forced to deny that he is in a romantic tryst with a pretty blonde Ukrainian translator he has been “hanging out” with.”
Yeah I used to check in and see how he was doing and what donations of cars and weapons he was getting for his team. He would go on about getting home to his family and how happy it made him. Buried in one tweet he mentioned his divorce being finalized. There was never anything more about that item.
Did I mention I hate stolen valor?
nothing funny here, just blood and mayhem
Tucker should have defended President Trump during The Steal. Instead of taking the Murdoch bucks and the new contract.
Good RuZZian Boys, somewhere under the rubble.

Thanks for the laugh! 😂😂😂
“Their (Russian) fortifications can at minimum slow the uke advance. That would give the rus time to withdraw their troops to Crimea and blow the bridges... I’m sure that a lot of people have thought this through in detail”
I think that you are right on both points.
There is a lot of chess playing over the decision to blow the few bridges that connect Crimea. More than a million civilians reside there, that will need to be fed, or allowed to evacuate. Calculations on both sides might change if the Kerch Bridge gets dropped of not.
But despite the what ifs, I think that your scenario of the Russians blowing the bridges to Kherson Oblast behind them as they retreat is likely. Alternatively, the Ukrainians may consider that so likely, that they might give up on capturing them, and blow those bridges earlier themselves, to trap Russian forces on the mainland, without resupply.
Either way, Crimea (and Russian forces there) would likely end up besieged, with constrained resupply, and being bombarded with long range fires. That seems to be the scenario that Retired General Ben Hodges, former CG of US Army Europe anticipates. Just like the Russian forces cut off on the right bank of the Dniper in Kherson City, their position in Crimea could simply become untenable if all the bridges are out, and they are under the range fan of Ukrainian weapons.
It seems Biden and his handlers don’t want the Kerch Bridge dropped.
Why does it care
Its funny because Kazan IS a town in Russia with a Russian tank training ground.
