I for one totally thought it was legit. 😁

I like their maps fusing territorial control with defensive works and terrain features however, though I compare them against Rybar, liveuamap, and occasionally other sources for a comprehensive take on the situation. Their texts are really too long for whatever information they include in the first place.

We used to get regular posts from someone-or-other of Rybar maps. I think they stopped being posted when the Russians stopped advancing, but I can't think why that would be the case.

Considering the many excellent sources I've pointed towards you that you refuse to read, not least the Presidential intelligence advisory board report on Able Archer and the Mitrokhin Archive, you really aren't in any position to get all judgemental son.

Your sources are one sided, I told you that many times, didnt I. Mitrokhin archive are one of many sources as you should know, son

10 000 sounds rather unlikely amount, number I saw about surrendees via 'Volga' channel on some Russian TG channel was something like 600 to 800. Whether that number has any bearing to reality, idk.

Dunno, but if the total had been low they'd have not provided one.  And, if the total is correct, then surrenders to that level, (ie, one POW to every 8 or so wounded and killed) these have become tactically significant.

Has anyone actually stopped to think how difficult it is to surrender to someone you are attacking?

1000, I can buy that. 10000? I think the crack pipe has been passed around once too many.

10,000 over 90 days is about 110 a day from an army of what, 300,000, on a front of what, 800km?

Meaning you choose not to accept their conclusions, hence they (and therefore I) must be wrong. Gotcha, consider me suitably chastened.

Incidentally much in mitrokhin has already been verified by other sources, not least the discovery of previously unknown atomic spy Melita Norwood, and NSA analyst Robert Lipka.

But let's not worry about actual facts, you have an important  narrative you want to sell.

Meaning you are going to move the goal posts, until you get the score you want?

You used duff information Glenn. There is no shame in it, I've done it myself unknowingly. But it doesn't matter how many siebel ferries you invoke, its demonstrably wrong and nobody believes your source.

Which is still TASS by the way.

Russian officials have photoshopped a photo of a (almost) dead soldier being awarded.

Russian soldier Artur Sultangaliev died the day before yesterday. He had been seriously wounded the day before, and in order to give positive news (not just an obituary), the regional military commissariat photoshopped a photo of his award and spread the news in local newspapers and administration press releases.

Not photoshop, as you can see, there's no sahdow on the decesased feet, which means he has been summoned back from the dead with a ouija board, evidently

Ukrainian, French defence ministers pledge to work together on arms

Reuters

...

"Dozens of projects have either been launched or are under discussion, aimed at organising joint production of new weapons or maintenance of weapons already with us," Umerov told a news conference alongside French minister Sebastien Lecornu.

The two sides, he said, were considering the establishment of a fund "to support joint ventures with our partners and companies which want to begin production in Ukraine".

Lecornu said France would "continue to help Ukraine as much as is necessary," but gave no details on arms that might yet be provided.

"This war could keep going on," he told reporters. "Let me restate our confidence in the Ukrainian arms for making this counteroffensive a success."

Ukraine's counteroffensive has focused on retaking areas of eastern Ukraine seized by Russian troops earlier this year and in advancing south to sever a land bridge established by Russia between annexed Crimea and positions held in the east.

France and Ukraine, Lecornu said, would consider "what we can do together in terms of (arms) acquisition or production". And Paris would maintain its current levels of training Ukrainian soldiers -- more than 7,000 this year.

Lecornu earlier discussed possibilities for joint weapons production with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

"I discussed with your ministers very specifically how French industry can help you. We, of course, will continue this work," Lecornu said in a video published by Zelenskiy on the Telegram messenger app.

Lecornu and Zelenskiy discussed bolstering Ukraine's air defences ahead of winter, the president's office said in a statement. Kyiv fears Russia will conduct a campaign of air strikes on critical energy infrastructure this winter.

Zelenskiy said he was grateful to French President Emmanuel Macron for military assistance, pointing in particular to the supply of anti-aircraft missile systems, Caesar self-propelled artillery units and Scalp cruise missiles.

You often write faulty theses based on pure Cold War propaganda or on one-sided sources. I could give a lot of examples, but I don't want to bother others. But if you really want to, I'll write them to you. I see no reason for you to underestimate me other than to cover up that you're often wrong. Sometimes we agree and sometimes we don't. Let's leave it at that. We agree that we disagree.

Looking at this maps it seams that there are no offensive from any side. One side take few hills on one place and other side take few hills on other place. Nobreal gains only localy tactic ones.
