Russia’s ridiculous-looking turtle tanks or barns on wheels or whatever you want to call them are proving to be somewhat effective. Several kamikaze drones are needed to take out one tank. What’s needed are more ATGMs like Javelins.
A group called Belarusian Cyber-Partisans claims to have hacked the Belarus KGB and downloaded their files. They have posted a shit ton of data from their prize online.
The most interesting part of it might be the emails the KGB received from foreigners offering to be collaborators.
This is from an AP story.
Seeking to back up its claim, the Belarusian Cyber-Partisans group published a list of the website’s administrators, its database and server logs on its page in the messaging app Telegram.
Group coordinator Yuliana Shametavets told The Associated Press from New York that the attack on the KGB “was a response” to the agency’s chief Ivan Tertel, who publicly accused the group this week of plotting attacks on the country’s critical infrastructure, including a nuclear power plant.
This thread breaks down what’s in the files.
Speaking of cyber warfare:
The Russians, of course, are also busy hacking.
Meanwhile, in Georgia the massive protests continue.
Macron goes there.
Another careless smoker.
Russia’s new Volcano Tank.
BUK goes boom.
This is said to have happened about 15 km inside Russia.
Double-teaming a T-64.
Russia again targeted Odesa. This strike is at a post office.
In this rather graphic video a Russian soldier takes a walk through a bombed out tree line littered with corpses.
WARNING: It shows many dead bodies.
If the rumors are true, Lavrov should stay off the upper floors of tall buildings.
Bradleys are also great tow trucks.
I wonder how many years you can get in Russia for pissing on an eternal flame.
WARNING: Video shows kid urinating on the flame.
More war crimes.
The Russians created a salient to take Ocheretyne. Let’s hope that aids Ukraine in taking the village back.
Blowing up the Kerch bridge won’t be quite so devastating to Russia if this new rail line isn’t harassed and molested.
Like this:
More dead Russian officers.
And a lot of Russian Stuff Blowing Up.
The UK’s Defense Ministry estimates 450k Russians have died or been wounded during the war.
“We estimate that approximately 450,000 Russian military personnel have been killed or wounded, and tens of thousands more have already deserted since the start of the conflict. The number of personnel killed serving in Russian private military companies (PMCs) is not clear.
We also estimate that over 10,000 Russian armoured vehicles, including nearly 3,000 main battle tanks, 109 fixed wing aircraft, 136 helicopters, 346 unmanned aerial vehicles, 23 naval vessels of all classes, and over 1,500 artillery systems of all types have been destroyed, abandoned, or captured by Ukraine since the start of the conflict.”
They seem nice.
This does not necessarily have anything to do with the war in Ukraine, but it’s another step in the evolution of drone warfare.
MTG’s attempt at shaming Speaker Johnson blew up in her face.
A touching farewell.
Coming home — soldiers and their cats.
