This period is not over, at least pro-Ukrainain TG channels are reporting and cheering any big fire or another incident in Russia (even when it is no way for it to be "the work of Ukrainian agents"). Poland Shuts Russian Oil Pipeline After Leak | OilPrice.com

In our age of hitech things bought from China as DIY sets or ready-made products, there is no need to be rocket scientist to use them. And "derka derkas" from, for example, Uzbekistan are people educated by USSR-style school system, i do not see why at least some of them have to be less competent then people of the same age from, say, Russia or Poland. "A drug courier robot was detained in Moscow On his body there was an advertisement for a darknet marketplace where drugs and other prohibited goods are sold, KP writes. The robot moved along a predetermined route and even followed the rules of the transition. Vigilant Muscovites called the police, and the robot was detained at the Pechatniki metro station. As soon as he was stopped by traffic police officers, the device went into "hibernation" mode, apparently deleting internal information. Two packages with an unknown powdery substance were seized from an unusual courier." (В Москве задержан робопес-наркокурьер )

"With regard to the large "Syrian retreat". We have people in our team who once spent a lot of time in the Syrian Arab Republic. We pass the microphone to them: In principle, something like this could be expected. Maybe not on this scale, but the thin one would have torn sooner or later. The Syrian leadership has long been accustomed to the fact that anyone but themselves will fight for them in exchange for access to the Mediterranean Sea and oil and gas fields. Russians and Iranians, for example. The money that Russia allocated to Assad to create a combat-ready army was plundered by Syrian bandits in uniform and without. The Syrian soldier, who was treated like cattle by his own leadership in 2016-2019, became even more disenfranchised and impoverished during the "truce" - he is more busy with his own survival than combat training. Moreover, the ideologicaly motivated ones died in battles long ago (or worse, they were chewed up by corrupt Syrian security forces), and the refrigerator, as you know, always wins over the TV (especially in a country where even electricity is a big problem). It should also be remembered that Syria, for objective and subjective reasons, has not been able to overcome many of the consequences of its colonial existence and has not been able to unite many ethnic groups and clans into a single monolith of the Syrian nation. In the conditions of clannishness, bestial attitude towards the "plebeians" on the part of local "patricians", it is difficult to expect for 13 years of war fortitude from an ordinary "sadyk". The question remains whether it was even possible for Assad and his entourage to fix this situation, but the fact is that they did not even try. Money was allocated for the army and the reconstruction of Syria, weapons were supplied, instructors of the Russian Armed Forces tried for days and nights to make fighters out of "sadiks" and often even succeeded, but in general all this was safely f*d up. As soon as Russia got bogged down in Ukraine, and Iran moved to a more active phase of confrontation with Israel, it suddenly turned out that there was not much one to fight in Syria for Assad. His main support in the form of Syrian neoaristocrats, obviously will not go into the trench." ( https://t.me/voin_dv/12088 )

I would not be surprised if they would find trained operators to put it into use, but more likely this vehicle will go to Turkey and then USA for tests (or we will see combination of both).

Why do you think it is abandoned at all? Pro-Rus practice now is gun crews staying in cover/bunler nearby all the time when gun/howitzer is not in action, to prevent annecessary losses. Nobody is staying with the gun. More over, on systems like D-30 road wheels are removed when on position, and covered somewhere nearby - both to reduce size, chnge shape and always have wheels not damaged by splinters.

Thank you, that is enough.

Leaving aside illusions of the deal (cherished by our elite, but unlukely to ever happen), this "300 billion in frozen Russian funds" can't be used neither bt G7 nor Russia. They do not exist, and "using them" is the same like just printing another USD 300 bln (and it is not a great deal, US is doing it every month now).

That was a bunker of regional "ATO" command (was used by UkrArmy during 2015-2022, when this territory was their deep rear).

Not "Russian military blogger" but entire pro-Rus internet is in flame for about a week following another attempt of unknown officials to ban use of personal/crowdfunded vehicles in Army.

Quote from https://t.me/yaremshooter/3791 about that: "Some smart guys started telling us that we don't need Syria until we deal with our neighbors. That's not so. Because we have a logistics hub in Syria, which, God forbid, if we lose (in theory, I hope this will not happen, of course), we will lose the whole of Africa and the entire Mediterranean Sea. This means that we will lose influence in at least two regions, which will weaken the position of our country. I don't know about these smart guys, but I would not like our country's position to weaken. Especially now, when there seems to be a turning point in SVO."

Even people in Dagestan, Russia now want to destroy Israel (and i would not be surprised if Mislims of countries as far away as Malasia feel the same). The problem is, Arab and Persian nation states and their organistations are developing and there ios at least theoretical hope they would one day reach some agreement with Israel (even without much love). But hopes to negotiate with Khaliphate are illusional. Yes Israel can sponsor them and use them against their enemies for some time, but sooner or later they will come after Jews.

You can see it in the same sources that tell you about "There is no sex in the USSR” "ingrained in the memory of Russians"?

Let me remind you i have spent the best two+ decades of my career doing media research in advertising, and one of the first thing i have learned in this profession was "avoid generalizations". There are no "Russians" in general, the same way as there are no "Americans" or "Germans". So when somebody is writing ".... in the memory of Russians" without pointing out what demographic/social group he or she mean, you could immediately tell it is something wrong here. No doubt there is ultraliberal pro-Western elite in Russia who do have “There is no sex in the USSR” ingrained in the memory (despite, as we now know, this words are not only fake, but not matching the fact of USSR having higher birth rate then modern Russia). But wast majority of Russians have another set of things ingrained in their memory, so now Westerners like you complain about popularity of Stalin in Russia, and increasing dislike of West.

Congratulations, instead of moderate Hezbollah you will have headcutters at the border. Video of islamist crusing Christmas tree in Syria https://t.me/historiographe/16569
