NATzO and its Kiev quislings are pathetic. The drivel about Kinzhals being taken out by Patriot systems is pathetic cope that is supposed to be
cunning misinformation.

The White House announced the suspension of supplies of weapons and equipment to Ukraine, 01.11.2024.

The United States is suspending supplies of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine , since Washington has no budgetary funds left to provide financial assistance. John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, announced this on January 11.

"Yes. We issued the last package of available supplies that we had funding to support,” he said at a briefing broadcast on the White House social media account X.

At the same time, Kirby noted that it is now critical for the US presidential administration that Congress approve further funding. This will allow us to continue helping Ukraine.

“The need to provide Kyiv with new American weapons is now urgent, especially in the winter months,” he emphasized.

Surovikin was just sending them in waves mainly against energy infrastructure, which had negligible effect

To be fair, the ground forces understand these strikes differently to the VKS, and also it must have been coordinated with the government which wanted to bring Kiev to negotiations- so hitting the energy infrastructure played a certain role

But Afzalov has turned it on its head, the missile swarms of VKS is not aimed at irritating anyone

They are aimed at collapsing what remains of Ukrainian industrial and war making capability

Afzalov, as most VKS officers see that the main target of missiles should be the enemies war industry

And so these missiles are hitting factories, manpower, and logistical targets exclusively, none are wasted on anything which does not have to do with Ukraines war capability

The pounding that Ukria has been getting over the last few weeks is a clear signal that long range missile attack plans are going to be
terminally costly. So let NATzO send these missiles.

Russia has proven that it can intercept anything NATzO has supplied Ukria. It has literally shut down all the HIMARS and Storm Shadow
plans and we have a tiny number of "leaks" that "succeed".

I expect that any long range missile attacks will be met with punitive retaliation that will take out roads, bridges and power distribution.
So Ukria will not get guaranteed hits but it will get guaranteed pain.

I think the worst thing is how the UK doesn't take advantage of being outside the EU to negotiate better trade deals for itself. They keep shooting themselves on the foot by excluding huge economies like the Russian and Chinese one.

Its not so easy, Firstly the EU has to punish the UK. The UK doing well post Brexit is not good for the EU. Secondly, everyone knows the UK is desperate. Even Canada is giving the UK the cold shoulder as the EU is far more important, One thing most nations with trading ties to the EU will be SURE is that an trade deal with the UK is less favorable then what the EU gets.

And what did you expect?
They are presenting BETAB bomb as downed Kinzhal with a serious face.
Staging ceremonial burial and digging it up later
It jumps out of the box, seriously

It is shocking

I tip my hat to those who urged to remain calm during the opening days of the SVO

When I called for mass destruction, out of anger for the deaths of heroes

But now I see it differently, I see that heroes fought man to man, against a force capable to defend itself, in other words there was honor to die against Bandera

But I see this case, how 90%+ of all casualties are civilians

And how less than 2% of all casualties during the SVO are civilians

That is honor, that is a just war, and those who died are HEROES and will forever be known for that

What Russia has achived in economy of civilian casulaties is unprecedented in the history of warfare. They have used evacuation corridors and not resorted to seige tactics. I think Putins older brother died in seige of Leningrad. Perhaps he has been determined to not resort to such tactics to win wars. Putin evacuates children and gets accused of genocide, The Israelis slaughter babies and children and somehow the West defends them. We are in a bizzaro world here.

You have no problem hiring Ukrainian Nazis to work for you.

First of all not all ethnic Ukranians are Nazis.
Second thing is 888 clearly shows that Alamo is not a Nazi.
Thirdly "18 and 88" clearly shows you are...

122 mm bullets used by the Russian army. From left to right, bullets made by Iran, North Korea and Russia, which the artillery unit of this country's army uses against NATO. Russians have many complaints about North Korean projectiles and they say that their cost is not real and they do not reach the desired range, but the quality of Iran's projectiles is good and significant and has satisfied Russian users

There were some reports that the issue with Korean ones is based on propellant rather than the projectile itself.
Those are reported to be of low and unsustainable quality, with nominally the same charges having different amounts of propellant, and even that in some cases is not being burned properly.
I guess that comrade Kim will order some shootings with a few officials chained to the barrels

Surovikin was just sending them in waves mainly against energy infrastructure, which had negligible effect

The aim was do deplete the AD systems. Which worked.

Another red line.

Every time the West crossed one of Russias red lines the rump state which will be left of Banderaland got smaller and smaller.
Other answers for such acts: BRICS+ with SA and Iran. Connecting Russian and Iranian banks. Throwing France out of another african country.

Former Ukrainian prosecutor who accused Bidens of corruption could be assassinated – ex-MP, 01.12.2024.

Viktor Shokin has dirt on the US president’s family and Kiev is using him as a bargaining chip, Andrey Derkach has claimed.

The former Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Viktor Shokin, who was famously sacked by then-President Pyotr Poroshenko under pressure from US President Joe Biden, is being used by the current government in Kiev as a bargaining chip with Washington, controversial former MP Andrey Derkach has claimed in an interview.

Biden had Poroshenko sack Shokin in 2016, when he was vice president in the Obama administration, threatening to withhold a $1 billion loan unless his demands were met. The now-incumbent US president claimed that the Ukrainian prosecutor was corrupt, but also bragged about getting rid of the man. Critics of Biden have alleged that he used his office to derail an investigation into the gas firm Burisma, which infamously retained his son Hunter on a well-paid board position during his father’s tenure as Obama’s VP.

Derkach made his explosive claims in an interview recorded in Minsk, Belarus, with Italian-US journalist Simona Mangiante, published on Wednesday on X (formerly Twitter).

“Shokin is now a hostage on Ukrainian territory. As far as I know, he is not allowed to leave Ukraine. He is under the total control of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU),” he claimed.
President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the US side, and President Vladimir Zelensky and his chief-of-staff Andrey Yermak on the Ukrainian side, are interested in information possessed by Shokin, according to Derkach.

He claimed that last October Shokin had contacts with two attorneys “working with the US Congress,” Jake Greenberg and Clark Abourisk. The SBU “recorded those conversations, where Shokin told the Congress about real criminal acts of Blinken and Biden, and about the corruption of the Biden family.”

The former official said he’d been tipped off about the surveillance by sources inside the SBU. Derkach is an intelligence officer by background and served in the Ukrainian agency before being elected to parliament.

He claimed that his sources had told him that “the question of liquidating Mr Shokin on the territory of Ukraine is under consideration.” He urged the US Congress to ensure the man’s safety and extraction from his home country.

Derkach spoke in Russian throughout the hour-long interview and touched on a number of sensitive aspects of US-Ukraine relations, including those he’d been personally involved in.

He was the official that published in 2020 what he claimed to be recordings of conversations that Biden and Poroshenko had in 2015-2016. In the interview this week he claimed that at the time he was acting with the blessing of Zelensky's office, which was seeking to discredit the former president.

Washington branded Derkach a Russian agent in 2022 and indicted him for allegedly interfering in the 2020 US presidential elections. Last year, Ukraine accused him of treason, also claiming he was working for Moscow. Zelensky stripped him of his Ukrainian citizenship in January 2023.

Derkach has denied the accusations and claims in the interview that the Ukrainian charges against him were brought after Kiev failed to dispose of him by other means, on a direct request from Antony Blinken.

The quality of the NK and Iranian shells also depends on their age. Different manufacturing details imply differences in shelf life.
Also, Russia can store shells for longer because of a colder environment. I doubt that Iran and NK run climate controlled ammo dumps.

I don't remember ever seeing information on UMPK Unifitsirovannyi Modul Planirovaniya i Korrektsy

Or unified glide and correction module

Is indeed guided by INS and Satellite through Cometa-M receiver

Very informative vids of how the Russian field tranches are being made.

https://t.me/SIL0VIKI/81023

Vid No 1 and 2 is Russian No 2 is Ukrainian tranches.
Mark differences

That metal body looks like a 100$ work and the electronics cards seem to be also 100-200$. The engine used to control the wings are probably 50$ each.

They have a glide kit of less than 1000$ that makes their bombs as precise as a missile of 300 k$.

And it seems nato AD can intercept it.

That's impressive and scary. They also use their own Glonass and not the GPS.

And it seems nato AD can intercept it.

You mean they can´t intercept it.
And even if some are getting shot down, the price difference between the dumb bomb + glide kit
and the AD missile will be huuuuuge. Win-win for Russia.
