Russia invades Ukraine *** READ RULES IN POST 6 BEFORE POSTING ***

This is fake, it's from some Russian TV show...

This is a few days old, and I think the guy doing the video might be on meth, but it's the first one I've seen of someone with Russian troops. He's in the Donbas region after Ukraine was driven out. Pretty bad scene, nothing gruesome of anything like that. Folks there seem to be between a rock and a hard place.

I would think that the Russian troops abandoning their vehicles would at the very least destroy the ordinance and make the vehicles useless by destroying the engines or other methods to keep the Ukrainians from using the vehicles.

You think they would do that but we have seen this before with other countries

I respect the guts it must take to be a reporter in a warzone, but these folks are also a bit crazy. Crazier than the guys that go report from the wall of a hurricane.

Russia Deploys a Mystery Munition in Ukraine
Iskander-M short-range ballistic missiles are releasing a previously unknown decoy designed to evade air-defense systems, an American official said.

Each is packed with electronics and produces radio signals to jam or spoof enemy radars attempting to locate the Iskander-M, and contains a heat source to attract incoming missiles. The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about intelligence matters, described the devices on the condition of anonymity.

The use of the decoys may help explain why Ukrainian air-defense weapons have had difficulty intercepting Russia’s Iskander missiles.


The use of the decoys may point to some level of carelessness or urgency by Russian military leadership, Mr. Lewis said, given that Russia knows they will inevitably be collected and studied by Western intelligence services so that NATO air defenses can be programmed to defeat the Iskander’s countermeasures.

Really enjoying this rebirth of celebration of freedom.

Patton wanted to end it a long time ago. He knew what needed to be done

Zelenskyy Speech to US Congress men and woman today at 8am Central time:

Whatever happens, someone onsite needs to monitor the time of the US standing ovation at the end of Zelenskyy's impassioned speech, so that the US standing ovation has not stopped until the US time is greater than the time of the Canadian standing ovation!!!

Biden is holding up the transfer of Mig-29's to Ukraine. He said that might upset Putin. But sending thousands of Stinger missiles and Manpads apparently won't upset Putin...???
