Pro-Russian drone operators heard behind the screen are also debating this, but their conclusion is it finally impact the ground. What i can see on notebook screen is the shadow of the drone disappearing, probably indicating they are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like boxes are unpainted, the same way as modern wooden boxes of Russian ammo are - no reason to waste time on waiting for paint to dry as the ammo will not be stored for any prolonged time, but used "from the wheels". I wonder what are dark cylinders standing in the rear part of cargo compartment - propelland canisters?

Stuart Galbraith Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Something of a contrast to the prophets of doom that have become so fashionable of late, though im sure they were remain unabated. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/russia-forced-into-lockdown-after-ukraine-onslaught-leaves-putin-s-army-plans-in-tatters/ar-BB1q7J7O?ocid=BingNewsSerp Russia has been forced to lockdown more than a dozen villages near its border with Ukraine in a devastating blow to Vladimir Putin, after the failure of its Kharkiv offensive. In May, Putin's army launched a surprise attack in Ukraine's northeastern province, initially making rapid gains. Russian units soon approached the outskirts of Vovochansk, a city just 45 miles from Kharkiv. The Kremlin boss claimed the offensive was intended to create a buffer zone to protect the Belgorod region in Russia's borderlands with Ukraine. However, Zelesnky's forces launched a devastating counterattack that succeeded in pushing back the Russians and regaining territory. Moreover, the Belgorod region has come under increasing aerial bombardment from Ukrainian drones and artillery shelling in the wake of the offensive. The attacks have caused substantial destruction and frequent fatalities, as well as sowing panic and fear among local inhabitants. he intensity and ferocity of Ukrainian attacks have forced regional authorities to introduce emergency measures. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the region's governor, has now announced a lockdown that will come into force next week. He said: "From July 23, we are restricting access to 14 residential settlements where the operational situation is extremely difficult." During a press conference on Tuesday, Ukraine's President Zelensky said Russia's Kharkiv offensive had "failed". He said: "In the Kharkiv region, humans or non-humans of Russia have been stopped. Their offensive has failed. All experts acknowledge that Russia's offensive on Kharkiv has failed. "I would say that it was stopped by our soldiers and appropriate weapons. Anyway, let's highly appreciate the service of our guys." His remarks come amid claims a key Ukrainian village in the Donbas had fallen to Putin's army. Russia's Ministry of Defence said on Sunday its forces had taken control of the village of Urozhaine. Ukrainian bloggers also said that Kyiv's forces had relinquished control of the village, southwest of the Russian-held city of Donetsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the measure pro-Russian experts like Strelkov and others were demanding since at least last year. Taking it now is not indication of any pro-Ukr progress, but of political changes inside Russian elite where "ignore the war" policy practiced by "Appeasement of the West" group is loosing traction (but is still strong). Now this steps are seenb as "long overdue" (see for example https://t.me/dva_majors/47520 ) 1 hour ago, Stuart Galbraith said: Russian units soon approached the outskirts of Vovochansk, a city just 45 miles from Kharkiv. However, Zelesnky's forces launched a devastating counterattack that succeeded in pushing back the Russians and regaining territory. Pusing back from where? From Volchansk? But RusArmy units there are in the center of the city 1 hour ago, Stuart Galbraith said: The Kremlin boss claimed the offensive was intended to create a buffer zone to protect the Belgorod region in Russia's borderlands with Ukraine. "The Kremlin boss" could claim anything he wants (he is just politician) but forces commited to this actions were clearly not enough for creating any significant buffer zone - so they have only 1)Stopped cross-border raids by pro-Ukrainian units and 2)Distracted significant pro-Ukr reserves from other parts of the frontline, causing raptures here and there - for example, reports are comming about suddent pincer movement today reaching key supply road to Ugledar. Let's wait and see. 1 hour ago, Stuart Galbraith said: Moreover, the Belgorod region has come under increasing aerial bombardment from Ukrainian drones and artillery shelling in the wake of the offensive. Mostly drones (as artillery is now relatively rare, since Lancet strikes are keeping NATO artilelry in distance or in well-covered shelters). Yes the range of drones is growing as result of rapid technological developments (now FPV drones are able to hit targets 15-20 km away) and it is puting increasing nimber of border villages and just farmers working on their fields in danger. But it is increasing range is not result of pro-Ukrainans moving forward. 1 hour ago, Stuart Galbraith said: The attacks have caused substantial destruction and frequent fatalities, as well as sowing panic and fear among local inhabitants. he intensity and ferocity of Ukrainian attacks have forced regional authorities to introduce emergency measures. What an elegant way to say "Pro-Ukrainians are hitting random civilians". For example on July 11 pro-Ukr Starlink-controlled agricultural drone have dropped bomblets on playground in Schebekino injuring 5 childrem (note it is targeted attack as drone operator could see his targets). Nothing new, pro-Ukrainians were doing this in Donetsk for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Alymov Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Greek article on quality of US weaspons transferred to Greece from storage https://www.kathimerini.gr/politics/amyna/563113147/se-adiexodo-to-dorean-skelos-toy-paketoy-mplinken-k/ Yandex-translation from Greek ""I'm not going to be able to do that." Disappointingly, the implementation of the armament part of the US reserves –mainly the three free basic systems-is developing, the so-called "Blinken package", as it emerged from the letter of the US Secretary of State at the end of last January. Disappointingly, the implementation of the armament part of the US reserves –mainly the three free basic systems-is developing, the so-called" Blinken package", as it emerged from the letter of the US Secretary of state at the end of last January. Originally the Navy (Fr.N.), with full coverage from the Department of Defense and the HNDGS, refused to receive the four LCS-type coastal operations ships, as the U.S. Navy did not release those qualified by the Armed Forces leadership, but previously. Bringing the four older LCS back to operational capacity would require significant investment, which is why the solution was rejected. Moreover, as everything shows, after the joint (with the U.S. Army) autopsy performed on 62 Bradley-type armored combat vehicles from the U.S. Land Forces Reserve, it appeared that their condition is not such as to justify the acceptance of the concession. According to well-informed sources, in the case of the Bradleys such capital investments are needed to restore them to combat status, which is considered unprofitable. Similar conclusions were drawn for the 102 Bradleys offered from BAE Systems ' stock, which, however, were not included in the Blinken letter. It remains to be seen whether they can be a solution for the Air Force transport fleet (Fr.P.) the two C-130-H included in the "Blinken package", although this is considered doubtful, on the one hand, due to the remaining demands filed by other allies, on the other, because in this case, too, the return to good flight condition will require resources. In practice, from the theoretically "free" part of the American concessions remain general-purpose trucks, some engines that may have made a difference in the everyday life of the Armed Forces, but also the debate. The concession of four LCS ships was rejected by the Navy, as was that of the 62 Bradley armoured fighting vehicles, while the case of the C - 130 is a question. Essentially, the only part of the Blinken letter that seems to be implemented without hindrance is, obviously, the acquisition of the 20 F-35s, which, of course, constitute a program for the purchase of new aircraft, while in the long run it will be shown to what extent Greece can participate in the program of the Constellation frigates, which is strongly supported as a solution, both operationally and industrially, for the future of Fr.N. The failure to secure from the US stockpile systems that can serve the needs of the Armed Forces is shared by both sides. The Greek side seems to have failed in the many previous years to make it clear that it is not interested in systems that have essentially completed their operational lives. It is also revealed that for the American side the needs of the Greek Armed Forces are rather low priority. It is, of course, clear that over the past two and a half years the US Pentagon has put Ukraine's needs at absolute priority, with everyone else coming –de facto– second. The negotiations that took place at the military level in the last six months have only confirmed the impasse that exists for the above systems, with the Greek side essentially attempting to achieve– at least-some concessions on smaller, portable, weapons systems." With this quality of storage (note the vehicles sent over ocean are, probably, pre-selected to be not so bad as others) not surprising US is struggling to provide pro-Ukrainians with armor...

Stuart Galbraith Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0kr91zqp0lo.amp Germany is planning to nearly halve military aid for Ukraine next year, from around €8bn (£6.7bn; $8.7bn) to around €4bn, according to a draft budget approved by the government. Finance Minister Christian Lindner said Ukraine's financing was "secure for the foreseeable future" due to a G7 group of rich nations scheme to raise $50bn from interest on frozen Russian assets. Germany is Ukraine's second biggest military donor, after the US. In 2024, Berlin's budget for Kyiv is set at nearly €7.5bn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
