    So now Joe Biden is threatening India. This won't go well for Indians as they lived through sanctions before.

    Why burn it? They could have used it in direct support at least.

    Well, more western equipment to be evaluated by Russians. I personally don't like how bulky NLAWs are...

I was thinking about motorcycle or quad riders , providing a shield to motorised unit of supply convoys . They could ride on flanks of convoy , in a line and sweep ahead of convoys . Range of ATGM , is not long , and ten or so riders on each side of convoy , separated by 100 or 200 meters , will capture in a net , any ATGM nest . Cheaper and safer than helicopters , more practical than drone survey . Once advanced units of armour , taken positions , then supply convoys can have also cage armour . These manufactured en - masse and flown to units to be bolted on .

    Good in desert where visuals can be established quite far, but totally not suited in a country like Ukraine. They would be too easy targets. Best solution here would be drones that can glide and loiter for a long time, not copter-type ones. Russia is already using UAVs, but not on the scale some would expect. I was wondering if Russia will flood Ukraine with Lancet drones, but it seems this hasn't happened.

    Zelensky Fled to Poland and is 'Hiding in US Embassy', Ukrainian Lawmaker Says

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier said that he has not left the
    country's capital Kiev due to the ongoing Russian military operation in Ukraine
    to "demilitarise and de-Nazify" the country.


    Ukrainian opposition lawmaker Ilya Kiva claimed that the president "urgently"
    left for Poland and is hiding in the US Embassy there.

    I too have  a suspicion they might be  ukrainian. The small fires seen can hardly damage an armoured vehicle like Tunguska isn't it?

    Idk but ukrainians have lot of graveyeards for soviet equipement that is for a long time now just scrap metal rusting there. They could have moved plenty of them to burn like those one and release as kills.

    3 confirmed su-25 downed and one mi-8 destroyed when it tried to rescue one of the pilots.

    They clearly need more drones to hunt AD systems. It's not stingers but buk and Osa the main issue.

    That's exactly what I'm saying - they should have used it but they chose to rather use it for propaganda.

    I think they came from the same vehicle yard and some "Zees" painted on them. Probably parked in a garage somewhere but not operational.

    I haven't looked into Russian drone tech lately but I don't think they have big enough drones that can carry the munitions needed to take out those systems and if they do its a very small amount of them.

    Hmm.. interesting.
    Mr. Kadyrov asks the President to give go-ahead for Chechen battalion to liberate the major cities Kiev, Kharkov.

    IMO this appears to be a genuine (not political theater) as he states among other the following:

    “Comrade President, Comrade Supreme Commander, I have said more than once that I am your infantryman, I am ready to give my life for you,” Kadyrov insisted. “But I cannot watch how our fighters are dying. I beg you turn a blind eye to everything and let them finish in a day or two what is happening there.”

    Yes. Not even 1 soldier should die because of stupid decisions. That chechen died in an ambush. And it could been different if they chose better tactic

    Pretty sure it's a fake.
    I don't claim to know much about how these things work during the wartime but I would heavily doubt they would admit effective destruction of their army and loss of 40% of the country in a letter that has any chance of leaking. Those kind of messages would only be exchanged between very narrow team who know they all end up against the wall if capitulation takes place.
