Just paint the mine in 404 colours and you're good to go!

Seeing the UK and USA like to plan false flags. Maybe it's time Russia made its own waterborne drones and sink a Ukrainian grain ship and then blame the Ukrainians as some kind of accident were it targets what it thought was a Russian ship type of scenario as the world now knows Ukraine has been using such methods. And Russia should just keep sinking Ukrainian vessels until they get the message. If Ukraine/UK wants to play dirty then Russia should too. Could also use sea mines Ukraine chucked many into the sea,

Might not need to. Without Russian 'protection' the grain ships might not get insurance. Result!

The largest private investor in the energy industry in Ukraine, DTEK, says most of the equipment for restoring the energy system of Ukraine was used up after the Russian missile strikes on October 10, and the purchase of a new one requires a lot of money and time

Looks like the strikes this morning have brought the Ukrainian grid to the breaking point. Metros in Kiev and Kharkov are offline, and Ukrainian channels are describing the grid state as "catastrophic."

There are already certain difficulties with the purchase of this equipment, because it is very expensive. Now we are working on how to purchase it or get it from our partners. Now this is a problem for all power engineers", Saharuk said.

The Elektrovesti publication states that today missile strikes were carried out on the Dnieper, Dniester and Kremenchug hydroelectric power stations

Local authorities confirm strikes on targets in these areas, but do not specify whether it is a hydroelectric power plant. as well as in the Vyshgorod region (where the Kyiv HPP is located).

If these objects are also hit, then it turns out that the RF Armed Forces struck the entire Dnieper cascade of hydroelectric power stations, except for Kakhovskaya and Srednedneprovskaya.

But, there has not yet been official information about arrivals at the hydroelectric power station.

The level of warmongering some represent here is mindblowing. It kills your common sense, do you realize that?
Whose ships are you are you going to sink?
Commercial vessels registered in Greece? Or Turkey?
Geee, what a brilliant plan!
Maybe they should nuke a Vatican City or something to make you happier?
A grain deal was one of the multiple political flags Moscow is waving toward the world's collective community.
Not the westerners.
Only the fact that most of the grain was just delivered to the wealthy countries creates huge interferences.
Most of you live in relative wealth countries, and simply don't understand how it is to have 50% of your income spent on the principal food products.
Or even more than 50%.
For those people, games played by the west are gravy threats, because they simply can't afford further price increases. They will be hungry. As easy as that.
Announcing that the fertilizers are being granted to the countries in need was a fukin brilliant move - those are lost anyway.
But now it is the EU that restricts access to them for the poor countries. The ones that support Russia in both UN agenda and by denying joining the sanctions.
This war is economy in the first place, and it is getting more and more clear that Russia is winning it.
Not by playing stupid as you wish.

What I find far more mind boggling is that the bread basket of the USSR suddenly became the worlds most important grain producer and exporter. Without them the world (esp the poor underdeveloped countries) would starve to death. Now apparently the EU hacked most of the grain export from the F[Ukrs] anyway, but I guess they do have to feed the newly acquired starving immigrants from these poor 404 countries.

There is a rumour out there that the French will supply Aster systems. But it ain't true. They would have been mad to submit it to real world testing, it might ruin their marketing, bit like the IRIS-T.

The rumor that France would send #Mamba systems to Ukraine with Italy is false.

A source from the Ministry of the Armed Forces tells us that France is NOT going to send SAMP/T Mamba systems to #Ukraine. This rumor is unfounded."



The Aster missile—named after the Greek word for “Star”—was conceived in the 1990s by Eurosam, a consortium of MBDA and Thales, to defend warships from enemy aircraft and sea-skimming cruise missiles at short range. Today, Aster missiles can be found in the launch cells of warships including the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers and France’s Horizon-class frigates.

In the 2000s, Eurosam began developing an enlarged Aster missile with four times the range to provide area air defense. This new Aster 30 not only supplements the short-range Aster 15 variant at sea, but is also deployed on a land-based launcher, the SAMP/T (French: “Surface-to-Air Medium-Range/Land-based”), replacing dated I-Hawk and Crotale SAMs

The latest Aster-30 Block 1NT model can intercept aircraft up to seventy-five miles away, and can fly fast and high enough (maximum 65,000 feet) to intercept tactical and short-range ballistic missiles, as well as low-flying drones, cruise missiles and aircraft.

Of course they won't. It's a system deployed on all their ships. Letting that fall into russian hands would be very bad.

Balls are growing.

Bunch of hot air as usual

They know where UK ports are, they know where their ships are and they know where their pipelines are

If they actually had the balls to do anything they would have done it already

There is something to immediate strikes and lashing out, but you have to be careful you don't end up hurting your own hand when you plan to slap very very hard.

Personally I think the British knowing something is coming but not knowing what that might be is much more fun... but not for them.

Correct. All of today's financial systems and connectivity relies on these heavy-duty data cables. With the already extremely fragile and volatile financial system down you will immediately cause a knock-on effect for other major banks (or let's say ... holders of debt) in Germany, Switzerland, US. Credit Suisse is already on the brink of collapse, Deutsche Bank same, and the US banks are just kept afloat by easing strategies by the FED. The UK still performs a major role as epicenter for the global economy.

Interestingly with Russia kicked out of SWIFT they would no longer be effected if there were problems with that.... you know... hacker problems... virus problems... hardware damage problems...

UK and Ukrainians probably promised Russians that they will not put any more holes in their shitty ass bitch fleet-in-being

They tried and failed... they wanted to cause havoc and ended up losing most of their attack fleet on a suicide mission where only two platforms approached anything close to an effect.

The airborne drones were totally useless and the super stealthy sea surface drones... remember that Yank a while back talking about sinking the Black Sea Fleet... talk about humiliation... talk about a fucking joke... it is like Pearl harbour except two boats barely got scratched and the entire Japanese air force sent for the attack was shot down.

But you suck Britains cock and claim a huge victory for the low down dirty scum.

if they come to heel so Russians will just huff and puff and take it up the ass as usual while Ukrainians keep doing whatever they want

Putin has said they will stop and search ships whether they were cleared in Turkey or in the Ukraine or not.

Nah, that would he too obvious. What you need to do are hit troops in NATO occupied parts of Syria with Car bombs and drones. The aim is not to take lives, but to send a message that this shit isn't going to be tolerated.

Actually I would say start targeting known HATO bases and centre with HATO advisers in Ukraine and aim to kill... Russia needs to drain the swamp and that means HATO forces and it means Ukrainian government officials with American passports... it should not be safe to be a foreigner in the Ukraine any more.
