The facilities struck in early morning attacks were a plant in the Chuvash Republic, which produces navigation systems for Russian drones and missiles, and a gunpowder factory in Kazan, according to local reports.

How vulnerable are military bases in the US to similar drone attacks?
Another reason why all the Chinese “students” here need to be deported back to China.
What Kazan doink?
We don’t care anymore. New slogan. MUGA-Make Ukraine Glass Again.
This country has more important issues to deal with on our own soil.

We lost Matt Bracken [Travis McGee] as a Free Republic poster and got mucusmaximus, the Ukie propaganda machine, as a replacement.
Bad trade.
He is only one of several Uke Intel Agents posting from Kiev.

Further exacerbating the supply problem, in August 2024, China imposed a new restriction on the export of nitrocellulose and antimony, two critical components in ammunition production. Antimony, essential for hardening lead bullets, and nitrocellulose, used in propellants, are both vital to keeping the U.S. ammunition industry running.

The U.S., along with European nations, is now racing to find alternative sources of nitrocellulose, but these efforts could take years to develop.
Industry insiders, like veteran ammunition expert John Farnam, have warned that ammunition shortages are imminent. While components are still available in small quantities, the shortage is expected to worsen, affecting both military and civilian markets.…”

Trump always assumed both dides felt they were suffering....said do many times.
They do not feel such yet, which is why they did what they did since january.
More bleeding needed. May the mist viscious win....this is war afterall.
Call us when you’re tired of it: better, call the other.
Slowly but surely Putin will get the land he wants. Ukraine seems helpless to stop it.

Wide open; It is illegal to shot a drone down even by the US military inside the US.

This country is blowing up because of illegals. I think your priorities are screwed up.
