How many Russian troops do we estimate have deserted so far? 

The new Era Russian comms system only works if there is 4G?? Surely that cannot be true!

True, and the latest model of Starstreak has automatic target tracking.

Other than being beam riding (which is a feature not a bug), it doesn't have much in common with Blowpipe or Starburst

Stupid memes and handful of light weapons =/= actual support Stuart.

Did not want to degrade discussion, but since it is again on the level of memes and twatter shit, I will post this.

This is Ukrainian channel (from Nikolaev) with historical reenactment, mostly concentrated on what soldiers ate (it is great BTW if you understand Russian). Review of British MRE is basically "Let's see what kind of food enabled British to run so fast from Afghanistan and now Ukraine". Title is "MRE of the British instructors in Ukraine! Why did they evacuate so fast?":

Oh and a review of MRE is also quite interesting, he notes that even old pre 2014. Ukrainian and Russian MREs are basically way better for an average soldier.

🤣

Where to start?

 its clear to see that, at least as far as economic development, the EU has been an unparalled good for Europe. Ive great issues with it, but I wish we were still in it.

Me too, we had the ideal balance of EU benefits with control over our own currency. We even got a special rebate FFS.

Wow, Putin's table really is long, isn't it?

 

Could be all three, a random pic n mix. Throw in some Mirage 2000s and Tornados for variety. 😄

Will Zelensky be meeting on the border in person? Will an attempt on his life be made?
