Also yesterday, another Russian landing ship was promoted to submarine, this time in the Sea of Azov .

Now that the shackles of restricting where superior Western weapons can be used against the orcs have FINALLY been lifted (or at least partially), let’s see what develops.

It blowed up real good!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We were told, a few days ago, that Russian jamming techniques were far superior to those of the United States. As I recall, we were told weapons such as the Excaliber 155 mm round and the HIMARS were no longer being used by the Ukrainians.

I wondered, at the time, if it were a psyops program to lull the Russians into exposing more of their assets...

[McGruff]

Those new US weapons we are providing to Ukraine are making a difference. They should be able to Moscow soon.

Whenever a Ukrainian shell hits target, the event is reported on Newsweek, leading readers to believe that the Ukrainians must be on a roll. Might be true, but we’re getting only the Biden/NATO/EU side of the story.

Bravo!! 👏

Almost 400 propaganda, spam posts, this year alone, Maxipad.

I see the Ukrainians also liberated Vovchansk.

The more I look at that Northern offensive, the more it looks like a diversion. The Russians are just trying to hold onto their Eastern acquisitions and the Northern diversion was intended simply to force the Ukraine to spit their forces.

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!

One of Russia's influential military bloggers—often considered sources for information on losses in lieu of official commentary from Moscow—said....

The propoganda machine has so lost its credibility that to save its credibility it is hedging its statements and blaming anonymous sources, on the one hand arguing why the source is credible and on the other hand providing distance in case it is wrong. Sort of like the CIA/MI6 MSCNNBC Clinonista Deepstate Faked still ongoing Russia collusion hoax which they can't quite give up on.

Russia wont do the same now deep in Poland? Or Germany?

Tit for tat. Idiots we have running our government.

There were 32 Su-57s, 10 R&D, 22 operational. Putting one of them out of service is a huge loss.

This is a problem Russia has with it systems like Beriev A-50 AWACS, Su-57, T-14 Armata, or BMPT Terminator. They don't have many of them, don't have enough of them to deploy them to make a difference, and can't afford to lose any them.

On top of that, their performance is overhyped and used as propaganda to make the Russian people believe the Russian military is strong and intimidate the west. Their actual combat performance is not all the great. If they have seen any combat at all, that's debatable.

The Su-57 can be compared to the Me-163 or Me-262 during WW-II. On paper, they were better. In practice, politics limited their production and performance, they cost too much to use, did not deliver results matching their performance, and the allies figured out how to counter them.
