    Remember that Russia does not need this ammo having its own booming business.
    They can deliberately pick the cherries.
    Iranians can be stocked up to the roof with some calibers, and some of them facing utilization due to expiry dates or something.
    Why not by dropping them on the Ukro heads?

    I really have in mind the tender for disposal of some insane number of Fagot missiles, that was taken out of Rosgovzakaz web in quiet.
    And with short notice, Syrians started a wild hunt for every single mother#ucker unlucky enough to be spotted in the range Laughing Laughing Laughing

    HI Sutton being hyperbolic again. He can be quite irrational when it comes to Russia. As can be seen by his efforts to track yatchs supposedly from Russian millionaires. I do not remember anyone showing proof of these suicide drone boat attacks ever damaging any ships inside the harbor at Sevastopol.

    Hole is correct. Wall Street journal had also evidence of Russian interference in the US elections, right?

    And of course, Roblee posts about it as he is equally useless for info.

    The amount mentioned is so small that none of those claims make sense.

    But whatever. People will believe it no matter what

    They are spreading all that bullshit without any bother of how possible/irrelevant/stupid it is.
    But on the other hand, Iranian and Chinese supplies are crystal clear.
    For obvious reasons.

    What obvious reasons? Gonna claim Russia cannot produce or running out of ammunition like the west lies about?

    Yet we already know for a fact Russia is producing thousands of munitions daily.

    Sure they do.
    But it is 3-5x more expensive than buying it in Iran.
    Or 10x more expensive than taking Iranian stocks for ... ekhm ... disposal Laughing
    And just look what a high UN commission will find - Iran does not supply arms to Russia, but ships fully loaded with garbage for recycling.

    Dude if NK or Iran provide ammo I don't see anything wrong with it

    Hit Ukraine with 30,000 shells a month and stockpile new production

    It's a win win

    Hohols were almost single-handedly responsible for Iranian nukes (the Kh-55s were loaded) and NK ICBM tech.

    It would be real funny if the Iranians and Koreans repaid those acts by assisting Russia in regathering righful Russian lands...

    It's ok for every man and his dog to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine, but as soon as someone sends any weapons to Russia, all hell breaks loose in both social and mainstream media.

    Talk about hypocrisy.

    It really isn't that is the issue. Issue is possibly quality if said munitions used. See Pakistan ammo to Ukraine. With that said, I don't consider it bad per se but it doesn't make sense.

    The grain deal should be cancelled

    Ukros are not shipping the grain to Africa or Asia, they are giving it to the EU and they resell it

    I would interdict ships leaving Odessa and cancel this deal

    The EU should eat bugs in line with the greens they elected

    Been thinking, is it possible that NATO is pushing apes to go on the offensive right now precisely because they didn't receive any fancy stuff yet like Leo2's and Abrams'?

    If apes chage in with current gear and get cumblasted it will not damage product reputation and it can be used as excuse ("apes can't into high tech") to not send any fancy stuff who's reputation could be besmirched?

    It's​ a good way for USA to back out of M1 delivery and Germans would love nothing more than to keep Leos from getting torched nextdoor to Stalingrad and Kursk, time is getting short for Germans here

    Robinette is a weak and pusillanimous man, it finally shows up.

    He is not interested in the investigation because he knows exactly what happened because he ordered it and controlled the entire operation behind most of his own intelligence communities back and against their better judgement.

    He is evil.

    "Over the past six months, cargo ships have carried more than 300,000 artillery shells and a million rounds of ammunition from Iran to Russia, according to the officials and documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal."

    Really not a credible source... anyone can print up any document to say anything at all and I bet the dick heads at the wall street journal couldn't tell the difference between a marriage certificate for a hedgehog and his bride, from the declaration of independence...

    The WSJ has no interest in the truth and every interest in soiling the name of Russia and Iran by suggesting Russia is running out of ammo and Iran is a bad guy that the US needs to bomb.

    Hole is correct. Wall Street journal had also evidence of Russian interference in the US elections, right?

    Their job is not to spread the truth because the truth will sink America as a country and HATO as an organisation, their job is to spread information about the weakness of their chosen enemies.

    What obvious reasons? Gonna claim Russia cannot produce or running out of ammunition like the west lies about?

    Yet we already know for a fact Russia is producing thousands of munitions daily.

    Make such claims because it makes Russia appear weaker than it actually is, but also shows China and Iran cannot mediate in this conflict because only sides that help Kiev are actually impartial and could fairly manage a ceasefire and peace agreement.

    Interesting that some politicians in the west are now getting nervous and actually think that the big Spring offensive from Kiev might be a fizzer and amount to not very much... certainly not enough considering the billions of dollars and weapons and equipment and ammo they have supplied thus far...

    Some US officials have reportedly pitched the idea of a negotiated ceasefire, leaving the door open for Kiev to resume hostilities after rearming and recovering.

    But that would just result in more Minsk like agreements... but then no US agency predicted the Taliban would take over Kabul in a week, and I suspect they are massively over estimating the ability of Kiev to hold out too.

    Internationalizing the conflict to take on a multipolar vs unipolar dimension would go a long way to showing that Russia is not alone against the so called "international community"

    Interesting comment, but I don't think Russian guns firing North Korean or Iranian shells would make the west realise it is not the international community.

    The grain deal should be cancelled

    Expires on the 15th of May and I rather suspect it will be cancelled.

    It has already been mentioned that the head of the EU had been trying to get the west to free up trade for Russian grain and fertiliser but he is talking to himself.

    Hopefully the end of the deal will also include cuts in gas and oil deliveries to the EU if not cutting it off completely.

    The EU is talking about trade cuts with Russia that go deeper that would effect Japan on their second hand car exports to Russia, but also quite a few other areas as well... Medvedev mentioned that if the 11th round of sanctions go through the grain deal will stop right away... so here is hoping.

    They want to include Rosatom, but some EU states and the US of course will object to that... maybe that will be a trigger...

    It is a Su-25 with an S-25-O fragmentation warhead rocket with radio proximity fuse.

    Yes, a rocket propelled 151kg HE fragmentation bomb on a stick.

    Russian fertiliser stuck in European ports... would be terrible if there was an accident like there was in Beirut...

    Surprised they haven't stolen if for their own use... maybe they have and that is why they wont let it move.

    They claim they can't let Russian ships carry it, but their own ships can't carry Russian goods either and their own insurance agencies wont insure the goods and they wont let anyone else cover them and wont let any uninsured ships carry it either.

    It is all good and very important for Russia to remember how they behaved for when the come back later and try to blame it all on Biden or Trump or whomever it was but of course it was not them...

    When your enemy is making a mistake never interrupt them.

    @PD,

    Hard to say.... I think they believe their own BS and actually do think their own weapons are wonderwaffen and just need to turn up to save the day.

    They honestly don't understand why they failed in Afghanistan... even the Russians helped them there with transport routes because they thought they might make a positive difference in the country, but they went back to their old tricks and it was pretty clear they were interested in the mineral wealth of the country that has never been mined on an industrial scale before, and of course the CIA loves their heroin supply...

    They are in an awkward position because their super weapons that were supposed to crush the Russians have all failed.

    It just took Stinker to defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan you would think, but Stinker and Javelin and Starburst and all sorts of other fancy weapons and the amazing M777 we were told the Russian was shit without their own equivalent has not really turned the tide even when they did outnumber the Russian forces massively.

    I am sure the western equipment will not get the blame.

    The EU will blame the US and the US will blame the EU... and then they will blame the Russians and claim they think they are going to use nukes so they couldn't escalate to a level where Kiev could win.

    They don't give a **** about Kiev anyway... they are chomping at the bit to go after China because obviously defence pacts and shows of strength were so successful in Europe.

    The west will try to get Minsk 3 so they can consolidate and start to build up to round two, and of course Russia wont be interested at all and will likely not stop any advances that start when the Orcs collapse.

    Getting supplies from Iran is smart. Russia has no issues producing sufficient quantities. It is smart to have an ally with alternative production capabilities and use this situation for them to improve their processes, improve quality and reliability of the product, improve logistics, remove inefficiencies and improve on working together. Let's assume the Russian capabilities are damaged by foreign actions; sabotage or whatever. You always have an ally that guarantees a steady supply. And the same works the other way around.

    “Armata” began to participate in a special operation: “Russian troops began to use the latest T-14 Armata tanks to fire at Ukrainian positions. They have not yet participated in direct assault operations. In order to act quickly and not be detected, the T-14 crew has everything you need: a guided weapon system launched from the gun barrel, a set of active and passive sensors, including the Afghanit active protection radar, an auxiliary power unit that allows you not to launch engine and thereby avoid being hit by missiles such as the Javelin. And if the situation on the battlefield develops in such a way that external observation devices are destroyed, the T-14 can use the "synthetic vision" system (it is also called the "eye of god"), as in advanced aircraft. Machines of previous generations do not have such technologies. The most you can count on is a thermal imager and a passive night vision system.
