    What modi said looks like it was agreed upon by both sides Russia and India before hand. Putin knows Modi is under pressure from west. So it looks likes it purely for media optics.

    Remember Modi is bashed in western media even before russia-ukraine conflict. Because he won with a single majority, the US can't cook a color revolution for the liberal world order. A few liberals in social media and liberal media outlets in India will keep towing the western line. But they dont speak on the behalf of government or the silent majority.
    Modi visted SCO for his own interest securing fuel and other raw material supply chain.
    Putin said Russia has 8x increased supplies to India for fertilizers, not to mention increased oil imports.

    Obviously India want the conflict to end soon, weak russia is bad for India and China.

    I don't know what 5D chess putin is playing. But a bit more military fire power to destroy the ukraine morale would be helpful, rather then giving up all the hard fought gains.

    Putin has not demanded China back and endorse Russian actions in Ukraine, and nor has he demanded India or Turkey or any other country do the same.

    Putin is not so shallow as to have launched this attack because he hoped his friendly countries would back him... he attacked because Russia had a national interest to attack.

    Bio weapons labs, Nazis, the threat of nuclear weapons, and the fact that Kiev was going to attack the Donbass and Lugansk and also Crimean territories anyway so war was going to happen... the only question was... who got hit first.

    In a person to person conflict most places on the planet you let the other guy have the first punch so that way you can pummel him and not go to jail... but if you know he has a knife you shoot him first and hope you can convince the jury it was still self defence.

    The good thing was that it was not sophisticated and worked always.

    It seems that we have given all PRCO (Pantser Rups COmmandovoering Tracked Armoured Command Vehicle) variants to Ukraine which were only armed with a .50. There were 25mm autocannon variants (YPR-765PRI (Pantser Rups Infanterie - Tracked Armoured Infantry) but most of them are sold to Jordan and Egypt. Back in the late eigthies we already knew that the armour was more for morale than anything else above 12.7mm Laughing

    Indeed, engaging a vehicle with a modern 30mm autocannon ammunition with a .50 is suicidal...

    Sharif PM of Pakistan

    (I guess it doesn't matter if Imran khan is there , Sharif is a pro russian from sound of it)

    Pakistans new PM was widely expected to take a pro-American stance and step away from pro-Russian political ties, however, that did not happen. Here’s his address to Putin:

    “Your Excellency President Putin.
    It is really a great honour and a pleasure to call on you along with my colleagues, the Foreign Minister, Defence Minister and Finance Minister. My brother, Nawaz Sharif, sends you his very warm regards. I brought good wishes for you and the people of your great country, Russia, from Pakistan. The people of Pakistan convey their very good wishes to you.

    President Putin, thank you for your condolences message. We have had devastating floods because of unprecedented torrential rains in Pakistan, which have hurt the entire country: 33 million people have been affected, 1,400 have died, and hundreds of children have died. Millions of acres of crops – rice, cotton, sugar cane – all gone. Millions of houses have been damaged, partially or completely. The Foreign Minister’s province of Sindh has been most devastated, as well as Balochistan, and then other parts of Pakistan. Thank you for your support. We have received your valuable support at this critical time. We are very grateful to you.


    I just want to let you know that my fond memories with your great country go back to 1968–1969, when I was a student. That was my first trip to any international country. So, I went to Moscow – my father sent me for business training. I met companies like Stankoimport and Mashinexport – they had their office at Dom 35, Moscow. That is my memory with your great country.

    At that time, we had barter trade between Pakistan and the Soviet Union. The first steel plant was built by the Soviet Union in Karachi. His grandfather, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, laid the foundation stone. We had tremendous partnership – that is the kind of relationship Pakistan had with your great country. It is on its own, it does not need any support, it is inclusive and it is not at the cost of any other country.

    Your Excellency, we want to build our relations with your great country with full commitment and full dedication, because you are a superpower. Pakistan stands to gain from this mutual cooperation, mutual understanding, promoting trade, investment, and other areas like gas pipelines. We had signed a protocol in 2016–2017 that needed to be implemented. Unfortunately, for some reason, it could not be, but I know the potential your great country has, from which Pakistan must benefit in our own interest.

    I have come here with my delegation with this proposal for your kind consideration, Mr President. We need to further cement our relations. We need to further build our relations in the field of energy, in the field of trade, in the field of investment and of course other strategic areas.
    You are a man of action. You decide, and then you implement. I want to assure you that I want to work closely with you for our mutual [benefit].” - Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif

    Looks like Sharif and Putin agreed on grain supplies and gas deliveries

    The TAPI pipeline was mentioned through Afghanistan to supply Pakistan and probably India if it goes ahead

    Taliban shelling Uzbeks make sense, taliban want Russian approval for pipeline to shore up their government

    Russia needs guarantees from talibs-

    All will be settled

    This comment is so dumb that it wins the internet today. 
    I guess that all people who use DJI drones are fluent in Chinese.


    Pooling drones for artillery and recon use makes sense... the fact that some units might not have enough or no charging point to keep their drones operating is another matter... some drones need a 3-4 hour charge for 20-40 minutes of operation. They would need to come with 10 batteries each to be useful.

    Drones provided by crowdfunding do come with multiple batteries and power banks. There's plenty material to back that up on the web. 

    Orlan drone has a gas engine.
    With that said, even Russian regulars use a lot of Mavic and other civilian drones and LDNR almost exclusively depends on them, as they have very limited number of Orlans.

    Ukraine heavily sh.

    But continue to cry that no one will tell you what is actually happening and other people on the internet tell you their guesses which you just brush off as Cope.

    Keep blubbering like a child and say the sky is falling Chicken Little.

    🔸Kirov
    🔸Voronezh
    🔸Chuvashia
    🔸Bashkiria

    See the rich folk in Moscow and Saint Petersburg aren't on the list.

    Initially it was just purely volunteers from anywhere going. This is more like officials jumping on the bandwagon and calling on people to volunteer to get trained and fight. Nothing wrong with that and if the local governments are willing to help finance the training, equipment and such, that's good. Crimea said the local banks are helping out a ton.

    I'm guessing they will all be sent to that rosgvardi training facility in Chechnya. It seems to be the main training facility for volunteers in this conflict.
