That doofus Putin created a situation where we can finally test our latest weapons against real, live targets, not just practise

Plus, the gross incompetence of Russia's military helps Ukraine a lot ... 7 year war!

Yes, and there was one American, journalist Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian prison, abandoned by what pathetically passes for his government.

Meanwhile, at home, in many locations including Moscow, Russians are freezing because they have no heat. ( and all the line troops are in worse situation because of the cold)

If true(and that “if” is always relevant for any information coming from there) I don’t think it should have been announced. Let the Russians worry about it more. I do wonder how fast the Israelis get their new laser weapon manufactured and in action. Surely we have one, too. If so then flying machines and devices like rockets and artillery shells are becoming obsolete.

Sounds like an EMP or some sort of microwave weapon that fries avionics in aircraft, causing them to drop out of the air.

There was a Sci-fi novel that had a very similar theme. I for get the title.

The novel is set in a future USA where the country has been split into two main factions, East and West, and some minor regional factions.

The East and West are constantly at war, with periods of ceasefires that don’t last more than a few months. Situation similar to the two Koreas.

One side, the weaker West, has developed a secret weapon that scares the hell out of the East. It has only been tested in a limited small battle and proved to be a game changer.

The East sets about to capture or destroy the weapon but doesn’t know where it is.

They forcibly recruit a former famous stage actor, Harry (I can’t remember his name) who is alcoholic and living his life as an itinerant farm worker harvesting produce in rural East America. At first he refuses but they threaten his family he has abandoned and he finally agrees to become their spy in the West.

They supply him with a travelling bus and mobile stage and a cast and crew of actors and a technician who all portray a gypsy-like group of actors that travel from place to place putting on plays for rural towns that have no access to urban entertainment. There is no Television or radio because of the war, and there are other groups who do the same thing, so they do not stand out as suspicious.

Harry eventually discovers that the other actors are just that, actors, who have no other jobs and are oblivious to the real reason they are there. The ‘technician’ is the East’s situation control commander who directs Harry and controls his actions to find out the location of this weapon when he’s mixing with the locals in between performances. He has a secret transmitter in the equipment van to communicate with the East’s HQ.

They travel from town to town putting on shows and Harry eventually hits on a lead to where the weapon is located, so they head there.

After a lot of skulduggery and various situations the weapon is finally located in an old church.

Harry falls in love (of course) with a local woman and he is convinced that the West are the good guys and the East are the bad guys.

There’s a big finale fight and Harry kills the technician /commander as the East’s military forces are on their way to bomb the town into oblivion.

It runs out that the secret weapon is a type of EMP device that works like a combination Radar/Laser beam.
Aircraft, tanks, vehicles, machines, anything with electronics will just stop working when hit by the beam’s energy.

Harry and his band of actors figure out how to use the weapon and use it to destroy the East’s advancing military armada.

Hundreds of Aircraft just fall out of the sky, vehicles just stop in their tracks dead. Munitions and targeting computers are dead. Nothing works.

This sounds like Zelenskyy’s source.........................

“That doofus Putin created a situation where we can finally test our latest weapons against real, live targets, not just practice.”

If this is true, that doofus Biden is creating a situation where the Russians can finally test whether their old nuclear missiles on submarines will work satisfactorily.

I know, we have better ones, and we can win this.

The Neocons cannot get their propaganda straight.

(1) The Russians are weak and stupid.

(2) The Russians are a danger to all of Europe and could begin their conquest any day.

“we destroyed 26 helicopters in a day, and 12 planes”

I am a supporter of Ukraine in this conflict, but I find that hard to believe.

It would be huge news.

26 Russian helicopters sounds high. But either way Bad Vlad is fuming at his military’s incompetence. More egg on his face for Vlad the bullshyte Czar.

MOSCOW, January 12. /TASS/. The Russian military carried out 23 group strikes on Ukraine’s defense industry sites and bases of troops, mercenaries and nationalists from January 6-12, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a daily bulletin of the special military operation.

"Between January 6 and January 12, 2024, the Russian armed forces carried out 23 group strikes with long-range air-and sea-launched high-precision weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic air missile systems, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, on facilities of Ukraine’s military-industrial complex engaged in the production, upgrade and repairs of aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, armored vehicles, missile launchers and artillery systems. Also hit were bases of the Ukrainian armed forces, nationalist groups and foreign mercenaries," the ministry said.

The goals of the strikes were achieved and all the designated targets were hit, it said.

As if ANYTHING the neo-Nazi Zelensky regime can be believed.

Ukraine is totalitarian hellhole, everything the Biden regime (with the help of the GOP establishment) and WEF want to turn this country into. Everything claim is true about Russia is true about Ukraine. Ukraine imprisons opposition leaders, has shutdown opposition parties, imprisoned and MURDERED dissents like Gonzalo Lira and destroyed churches.

May God damn Ukraine to hell. Death to Ukraine! May the Russians take all but the portions that have historical ties to Poland and Hungary. It must cease to exist.
