I really hope that when you have to make the accounts of "that little business you run and does not allow you to go to the front" better than this one. It means that you would need to spend your whole production on missiles of one or two years to stand a 5% chance of landing one of them in an aircraft carrier. If you do not want to work out the math, just consider that you needed 18 to land 3 in the whole of Ukraine.

The pictures do not look at all like grad launched munitions. Glad to know you consider these as allowed - you RF friends at the front will thank you when they get similarly burnt (it cuts both ways you know).

Recent news about someone smoking in the wrong place south of Yekaterinburg - EDITED to add - Just if anyone wonders why someone was smoking in one of the largest ammunition depots of the RF, it may very well be linked to Putin asking to make a re-count of all available ammunition in the country -  hint: the stock in Yekaterinburg is now officially "lost due to a fire" - not that they were to find it completely empty due to some Orcs selling it in the black market during the last 10 years??

I know that in the Tik Tok area, watching a 1 hour video is not in style, but if anyone really wants to know why the RF is underperforming by any standard, this is the place to go:

It explains corruption and how it works at all levels and how it ends up with the joe in the trench getting a gun that does not fire, a body armour without the plates and a few more dachas in the Caspian.

Phosphorus weapons are not used in Bakhmut, you confused them with 9M22S or 9M28S magnesium shells launched from Grads. Magnesium shells have a number of advantages over obsolete and long-decommissioned phosphorus shells - they have a much higher combustion temperature, they are easier to store without the risk of self-ignition, they cannot be extinguished by cutting off the supply of oxygen, and they are not prohibited by the Geneva Convention.

Shit, it seems now the Russians will have to spend two whole Khinzals on one aircraft carrier.

It is important certainly. These missiles were kind of the answer from China and the RF to the Carrier Groups of the USA, currently 11 in active if I remember correctly. If a Patriot can intercept, let's say with a 60% chance a modern Khinzal, Sea based systems, usually x 10 times better, can do it too. It is a game changer to have a carrier group at 200 miles from your coast and not being able to do much about it (other than nuking it I guess).

On DefendUkraine website https://www.defendukraine.org/donate they have listed only some main and biggest foundations. There is many small foundations who working there too. I haven't investigated that foundation above and I never heard them before, so, I can't vouch for them. But there is sad reality about level of corruption in Ukraine. I heard many complaints from troops in frontline that aid simply don't reach them. While many smaller foundations, maybe they don't have so much money and resources, but many of them delivering aid themselves to frontline cities.

At first Ukraine denied these news, but after some time they officially confirmed it. They told many times that Kinzhal missiles is impossible for them to intercept with systems that they have and it caused lot of problems for them. So, it's big news.

Kids are often brats towards their parents. Parents get angry and want to bust their kids one right in the teeth. But they don't, because they love them.

In the same way, the Russian fist (RF) is headed for Ukraine at many times. But the love of the RF for their child holds them back, often at the last minute.

Wake up and be afraid.





Ukraine is made up of two basic groups of people:
1. Those who want to be friends and allies with Russia;
2. Those who simply are against Russia.

When the US came into Ukraine, and infiltrated its government (for US selfish purposes) so that the Ukraine government started acting against Russia and Russians - resulting in Russia trying to hold back the US/Ukraine government with the invasion - where did the Ukrainians go who were in favor of Russia? They left Ukraine so that they wouldn't be forced to fight a country (RF) they wanted to be friends with.

What's left in Ukraine? Two groups of people:
1. Those who are against Russia;
2. Those who are silently in favor of Russia; silent because Zelensky will kill them if they are found out.

If the war ceases, will the Russia-friendly Ukrainians who fled ever come back to Ukraine? Nobody knows. Some of them might. The internal Ukraine conflict will continue, with or without US interference.

Kick the US and the Zelensky government out of Ukraine so that there can be peaceful conflict between its citizens, as was the case for a long time in the past.

Perhaps this is not exactly the right place to ask for donations. I can already tell you that you would need to provide quite a bit of a proof that is legit, since this does not seem any of the accounts officially published by the Ukrainian government many months ago.

On the war itself, it seems that Ukraine is claiming that a Patriot stopped a Kinzhal. To be honest, the missile is an air launched version of the Ishkander and can reach hypersonic speeds. However the true hypersonic capability requires a very high degree of manoeuvrability, which makes it very difficult to intercept, very difficult to know where it is heading and thus a real threat. Russia is claiming that capability, but it is simply not there.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/06/russia-ukraine-war-patriot-kinzhal/ba39c340-ebeb-11ed-869e-986dd5713bc8_story.html


The information is always to be taken with a pinch of salt, but what I have read about this missile... welll, it is very fast as it would be very fast a ICBM warhead falling, but not undetectable and certainly subject to being intercepted.

I am also thinking that the US was reluctant to provide Patriots to Ukraine precisely because they tend to play the opposite game: the US army not claim capabilities that they do know they have and provide limited information about the test. I am sure the US would rather have the RF not being sure about the Patriot capabilities. The RF instead speaks above what is factual and then find themselves believing their own shit.

Also, it there is some photo evidence that the Orcs are using banned weapons in Bakhmut such as Phosporous / Termite munitions. A dangerous path to follow.

On the Wagner Butcher in Chief... OMG... they guy appears in full cammo with 8 machinegun magazines over his chest like if he did any of the fighting... super-lame.

Hello from Ukraine!

I am not entirely sure if I am breaking any rules by posting this information in this thread, but if I am, I apologize and ask the administrators to move this post to the appropriate thread.

I represent the team of military volunteers "Sho Ti Dyadya" who provide support to our army. We are from Zaporizhia, which is only 40 kilometers away from the front line. We are the ones who help our servicemen to reclaim our lands with minimal losses. We have donors from the cryptocurrency community, and perhaps others might want to support our work and fight.

https://uafree.org is the website of our foundation, which displays the intermediate results of our work. It is available in Ukrainian, English, German and Polish.

https://www.facebook.com/shotidyadya is our Facebook page (unfortunately, only in Ukrainian) with daily reports on the funds raised and the work done.

I have been a member of this forum for over 5 years and I believe that there are people in our community who can support our fight for survival.

Thank you in advance.

Of course, I forgot about it. We have such a situation for the first time, how can we know how to behave. Indeed, we need to take an example from the russians, who not only repeatedly launched their own drones at their positions, but also dismantled aircraft on their territory, undermined their equipment on mines they had laid themselves And all this was accompanied by human casualties. And they continue to do all this without feeling any embarrassment.

Probably so they can start out with the big glide bombs once they lure the Ukroids into the trap and slam the door shut behind them.

The main question would be how much re-building assistance will be provided to the now RF citizens once they move back home.

Edit:

Seems increasingly possible that NATO will go ahead and set the spent fuel pools of the Enerhodar nuclear power complex on fire.  This would be and interesting and very distressing development.  It would also open the door for 'eye-for-an-eye' strategy and there are many many liquid cooling sites around the world which host such facilities.  Russia has already pointed this out, and also that winds do shift directions from time to time.  Ironically, Germany, which had dry-casked their spent rods making themselves immune to disasters of this nature, is shutting down their last power plants.  Germany's methods indicate that they are (were) one of the few countries who where not re-processing with the intent of making nuclear weapons, but that's just a tangential fun-fact to ponder.

Widespread nuclear contamination of croplands and thus agricultural potential seems to be very much of interest to the WEF and other strongly technocratic groups/individuals.  Especially one's with a footprint in the synthetic foods space.

It's really hard to prosecute a war against an adversary who wishes to 'lose'.  I continue to hold open the possibility that Russia/Putin is simply playing his part in a stage act which will ultimately usher in the technocratic dystopia that the current crop of 'leaders' seem to want/need.  By 'leaders', I'm not talking about names that people have heard of but rather the ones who install presidents/prime-ministers, heads of 'stakeholder' entities (WHO, IMF, UN, etc.)

The RF is "evacuating" people massively from Zapo, we are talking more than ten localities. I wonder why? ... Nah, I do not wonder why to be honest.

You forgot the part about how embarrassing it must be to have to shoot down your own drone that you couldn't control, so that you wouldn't get fried by it. Lol.

Didn't Russia destroyed all Ukraine's Bayraktars long time ago  There was some users claiming that. What can I say about it - shit happens sometimes. But I'm not sure that it's as fun as Russia dropping FAB bombs on Belgorod or SU-34 aircraft crashing into apartment building in Yeysk.

Part of the RF troops (oh, what the heck... ORCS) positioned in the south near Zaporilla have been moved to cover the banks along the Dniper after the attempts (may I say fake attemps?) of crossing the river and establishing a bridgehead. This stretches the troops and the reserves in the area a forces a longer logistics chain.

To simplify, the Ukrainians seem to be creating openings in the line before committing to a more decisive action. It is also happening in the delta of Dniper, obviously, under a heavy contested environment - nothing is going to be easy. Hoever, stretching the RF troops in a longer line is better, and moving them around responding to minor attacks is a way of making then waste valuable fuel.

Also, recent attacks on fuel depots in Crimea and other locations, along with the damaged McPutin's Kerch Bridge will make the fleet in the Black Sea less able to support from the sea. Overall, I would say that some preparation is taking place, yet I would expect to see much more over the next two weeks.

Happy 9th of May! And do not forget to look to the sky from time to time... just in case you know.

I think that the air battle should be balanced by providing Ukraine with a longer range missile. The RF airborne orcs have too much advantage. A few Swedish Grippen with Meteor missiles would come very handy. Maybe Putin can do something, like pushing Sweden harder to join NATO?

Because it was not accidentally shot down. And nobody is trying to blame it on russia. It was Bayraktar TB2, which russia doesn't even have in its arsenal. It was Ukrainian drone, which lost control therefore it was shot down. End of the story.

  Russian drone shot down over Kiev
  https://www.bitchute.com/video/LptOznbKV3Uu/

Lol.  I'm surprised they didn't credit the 'Ghost of Kiev' for the kill.  If it was a Russian drone I would suggest to the Russians that they stick with Iranian hardware.  Seems much more effective.  Maybe the drone was 'Russian' insofar as they bought it from some corrupt Ukrainian general or middle-man and were just flying it over to it's new home to be analyzed, but from what I read they probably have a ton of bits and pieces collected back before they became completely ineffective against Russian air defenses.  Looks like these things to for around $5,000,000 each.  Wow, what a joke when the Iranian stuff comes in at around $25,000.  Gimme 50 200 flying chainsaws over one of these things any day.  But what do the Ukrainians care about prices when my tax-paying peers back in the U.S. are footing all the bills?

Ironically, I just traded my Turkish semi-auto shotgun in earlier today because it was not very satisfactory in some ways.

You didn't say "... 'accidentally' shot down... ." They must be trying to blame it on Russia.

More and more it's coming out into the open that the US and Nato 'trainers' are not on Ukraine's side.

Meanwhile, in the sky over Kiev, a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile successfully shot down its own Bayraktar TB2 drone.

TRUTH BEHIND "RUSSIAN STRIKES ON CIVILIANS" IN UKRAINE

---

https://southfront.org/truth-behind-strikes-on-civilians-in-ukraine/
Before the massive night attack, Ukrainian media reported that five Russian Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers armed with X-101 or X-555 cruise missiles took to the air. Kiev could get this information only from the United States or NATO intelligence.

By morning, the Ukrainian military reported that their air defenses had allegedly shot down 21 Russian missiles, without specifying how many of them had reached their targets.

Despite the fact that Kiev has banned Ukrainians from filming and posting the consequences of Russian strikes on social networks, videos showcasing the defeat of targets continue to be published online, confirming the damage that Kiev is hiding.

Explosions thundered in the cities of Kiev, Kremenchuk, Dnepropetrovsk, as well as in the Kiev, Mykolaiv, Poltava and Cherkasy regions. Strikes targeted military infrastructure facilities: locations of Ukrainian forces, ammunition depots and accumulation points for military equipment and weapons.
According to Ukrainian reports, seven Russian missiles were shot down over the city of Dnepropetrovsk. However, two oil depots filled with fuel for Western military equipment were destroyed in the city. Local authorities reported that two people were killed and three were injured.

The Ukrainian military once again demonstrated their incompetence and the inability of Ukrainian air defenses to protect their own people. Local officials confirmed that Ukrainian air defense forces destroyed a multi-storey residential building in the city of Ukrainka in the Kiev region.

Above, a massive explosion in Pavlohrad, a Ukrainian-occupied portion of Donetsk Oblast.  It seems a Ukrainian missile storage depot was hit!

Initial Reports say Russian Missiles struck a Rail Yard and a Ukrainian Arms Depot on the Outskirts of the City.  Multiple missiles inside that depot then launched catastrophically and unguided, into the night sky.  

Video of the storage depot ablaze appears below:

HORRIFIC SLAUGHTER:

---

https://southfront.org/horrific-slaughter-russia-finally-admits-to-destroying-natos-deep-underground-command-bunker-in-kiev/
As reported on March 12 by the Greek portal of political and military information Pronews, citing American sources, in the course of an operation to retaliate for a provocation in the Bryansk region, a Russian hypersonic missile "Dagger" struck at a joint Ukrainian-NATO command and communications center.

According to Pronews , "dozens of NATO officers" were killed in a "terrifying strike" by a Mach 12 missile. In all likelihood, we are talking about the defeat of the "shadow General Staff" of NATO in Ukraine. The secret underground bunker, built at a depth of 400 feet (120 meters), housed several NATO officers (retired) and advisers. In total, more than 300 people.

To date, according to the portal, 40 people have been pulled out from under the rubble of the underground headquarters, but most of those who died under the rubble have not yet been found.

It is not known, the portal continues, exactly how many Western citizens and how many Ukrainians were killed as a result of the "Dagger" strike. "Most of them, "  according to Pronews, "are British and Poles, but there were also Americans and representatives of private companies that support communication and data transmission. In the coming days, it will be seen to what extent this will affect the conduct of Ukrainian and Western operations and attempts to stop the final phase of the Russian offensive on Bakhmut.

The activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye region is more like a distraction maneuver or reconnaissance in force. The hottest points of confrontation are still Bakhmut and Marinka.

It could be a false flag, but I am not sure this is the best moment and I am not sure it gives Putin something he did not have before. Basically, you have the "victory parade" in a few days, you can even see the tribune there under the building "attacked" so I would say that people attending may be a bit more "concerned" about attending it. Putin has now a hard choice: show himself and other high rankers in there, knowing that it is possible to get "droned" or cancel the event and look week. If you think it for a second... if someone wanted to make sure the parade goes ahead, would have done exactly this. He cannot really cancel now.

Regardless, the real war is happening in Zapo and in the Delta of the Dniper river, while minimal counterattacks happen in Bakhmut and nearby places just to make sure the RF army keeps busy dying there
