Dr. HIMARS makes a house call at a pontoon bridge on the Seym River in the Kursk area.
It isn’t surprising that Russia counterattacked in the Kursk area. It is somewhat surprising — to me, at least — that they chose to do it on the western side because of the difficulties in resupplying the effort due to the bridges on the Seym River that keep getting blown up.
But then I remembered that Putin has ordered the army to retake Kursk by October 1. So apparently that message got passed down until local commanders decided they need to do something pretty quick.
Doesn’t matter that the eight tanks they managed to get across a pontoon bridge won’t be returning or that infantry will get lit up like the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas tree. They can show they are doing something.
Ukraine just needs to park some recon drones over the Seym River bridges/pontoons and wait for targets to show up.
Novyi Put is right on the border with Ukraine and west of the area where Russia is counterattacking in Kursk. A road from the village leads straight to Glushkovo.
The Kadyrov Chechens in this war aren’t good for much, but they excel at gaslighting.
This 240mm self-propelled mortar is known as a Tulip.
Light ‘em up!
Ammo Dump Jesus extends his blessings to Mariupol.
Russia took out this bridge in Pokrovsk.
Jumpy, trigger-happy Russians shoot at their own planes way the hell up north in Murmansk.
It’s a mystery! Golly, what could have happened?
Ukraine says it planted the bomb that derailed this train in Belgorod region.
Yes, it would have been better to blow a rail bridge, but bridges can be more easily defended and guarded while guarding hundreds of miles of track is impossible.
Ukraine released this video that it says shows the Russian Su-30 being shot down over the Black Sea by a missile.
Another 1,270 Russians, 11 tanks, 73 artillery systems and 93 other vehicles.
Russia has committed every other war crime there is, why not also blow up a Red Cross truck.
Might as well blow up some wheat too.
He doesn’t have the cojones.
Fifth columnists.
Lavrov says the West is fucking around with Russia and will find out just like Napoleon and Hitler did.
We understand perfectly well that the West has called this war against Russia existential, the goal being to inflict a strategic defeat on us. But I will remind you once again that other great figures in the history of international relations, including Napoleon and Hitler, set the same goals for themselves.
Trying to enforce sanctions against Russia is like playing Whack-A-Mole.
Volunteers of international intelligence community InformNapalm collected documents and testimonies exposing a scheme where the Kazakh company ARC Group collaborates with the Russian military to provide maintenance of Russian Su-30SM aircraft equipped with French avionics from Thales and Safran. This example of a Russo-Kazakhstani cooperation shows an intricate arrangement making it possible for the Russians to get access to advanced military technology despite relevant Western sanctions under cover of a Kazakhstani military contractor.
An out-of-touch Russian politician is shocked — SHOCKED — that there are huge potholes on Russian roads.
Governments have some basic functions that they need to fulfill before they start waving nukes around — things like making sure the garbage gets picked up, the electricity stays on and the roads are maintained.
I doubt Russia cares whether phone calls are restricted. In fact, they likely don’t want Russian POWs telling relatives back home that they aren’t being tortured and killed.
Last week, Ukraine’s Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets announced that Russian prisoners of war (POWs) would no longer be able to make phone calls to relatives.
They are still allowed to communicate through letters, meeting Geneva Convention requirements, he noted.
The decision came after recent increases in reports of violations of Ukrainian POW rights by Russians, including a video circulating on social media last week that appeared to show a Russian soldier executing a Ukrainian POW in violation of international laws.
His mistake was raping a Russian woman. If he had raped a Ukrainian he might have gotten the Hero of Russia medal.
It’s a sign from God.
On the plus side, they should get millions of views on their TikTok post.
Erdogan seems to enjoy fucking with Putin.
It amazes me that I still find Ukrainians and other Europeans on Twitter who think Ukraine would be better off under Trump than they have been with Biden.
You don’t suppose Russia had this guy killed, do you? They wouldn’t do something like that, would they?
Rest in peace.
Yet another use for drones — selfies.
Ruby says, “Go fuck yourself, Putin.”
Sound on.
