Any companies that assist in the construction of a tunnel should be sanctioned.
And what makes Russia think a tunnel is safe from attack?
Russian POW: Oh my gosh, I suddenly realized I had gone straight to hell!
No shit, Sherlock.
Gribko and other prisoners were shocked by what was happening in the army. They could easily be shot or brutally tortured for disobeying orders: "I saw a squad leader shot. He didn't follow orders." Another soldier's "arms and legs were chopped off, then his head. All this was put in a box, and in the morning they blew it up on an anti-tank mine, so that there would be no evidence."
Gripping video of a group of Ukrainian soldiers in a trench who were being attacked from two directions by Russians with a tank. They all survived.
Here is a longer 30-minute video from the same director/soldier. WARNING: It shows close combat from trenches and soldiers being wounded and treated. They fire at drones and take cover as Russian armor rolls by. At the end of the video the wounded are evacuated.
Amazing how far they drove that Scooby van while it was on fire.
Maybe the reason they got lost was because … wait for it … IT ISN’T THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY!
Russia has bombed schools, hospitals, kindergartens, apartment buildings, museums, churches and libraries. I guess they feel threatened by books.
The drones were heroically destroyed when they crashed into our air defense system.
Fly the friendly skies.
In January 2023, 185 air accidents were registered in Russian civil aviation. About a third of them were classified as incidents of varying levels of danger. The leader here was the Russian short-haul airplane "Dry superjet" - 34 incidents.
In the first 9 months of 2023, 150 cases of aircraft malfunctions were documented in Russia. In the same period in 2022, 50 such incidents were recorded. Thus, the increase in the danger of flying in Russia has tripled.
Engines and landing gear, as well as other important elements such as hydraulic systems, flaps, and software, remain the most vulnerable areas of Russian aviation.
The aggressor state of Russia has serious difficulties with the maintenance of high-flying aircraft. Due to the lack of capacity and specialists, Moscow is trying to reorient aircraft maintenance to Iran, where the relevant work is carried out "artisanally" - without appropriate certification.
As of March 2022, Russia had about 820 foreign-made civilian aircraft. And if at that time only up to 10% of them had undergone uncertified repairs using off-brand spare parts, now almost 70% of the fleet has been put through such "service.”
The acute shortage of spare parts has led to the so-called "aviation cannibalism" in Russia, when some aircraft are dismantled to repair others. According to the available data, by mid-2023, more than 35% of the aircraft in Russia were "cannibalized.”
And if you still want to fly on a Russian plane, you might want to bring your own toilet paper.
Ukraine’s secret mouse bomb has been deployed in Russian trenches.
4/ Others from Primorye complain that they have no fuel for the generators they use on the front line and have to buy it from local people at their own expense. One man writes that he bought gasoline from local firefighters (presumably pilfered from official supplies).
5/ "My husband says that they use their savings to buy gasoline for generators and take it to the guys on the front line so that they have light there," says one wife.
6/ Due to unharvested crops in the war zone, mice are everywhere in the trenches. A relative says that her brother cannot sleep because they "get into his ears, nose and mouth. They chew on everything they have." Cats are of little use in combating them.
7/ Relatives have suggested various folk remedies. One advises half-filling a bucket with water to tempt the mice to climb in and drown. Others recommend burning pieces of felt, or even burning dead rodents, to drive them away with the smell.
This is good news. Hopefully it can be deployed at Odesa.
It’s terrible that schools have to be built underground to keep children safe from bombs.
No doubt one of many that will eventually be erected.
What’s so bad about being sent to the islands? I hear The Bahamas are great this time of year.
I’m sure Shogun will get on this immediately. LOL
If this guy had been captured by Americans he’d claim he was related to our famous general Benedict Arnold.
Don’t need any captions to understand this.
Unbreakable indeed.
