  1. NBC Exclusive: The Pentagon has recommended giving white phosphorus shells to Ukraine, but White House keeps saying no This comes as an unbelievable surprise, but evidently the US has not provided Ukraine with WP smoke or illumination shells. Just another asinine decision, unsupported by any military logic. Russia has installed Starlink on Shahed-136 drones: it gives unlimited communication range for drones flying at 2,000 km - Defense Express The drone was shot down by Ukraine's Armed Forces during last night's attack. With the help of Starlink, Russia can use Shahed drones as an extremely long-range loitering munition with the ability to conduct reconnaissance checks, thanks to an additional camera, and hit even moving targets.
  2. Bad news has been circulating for a few days: According to the Washington Post, the United States believes that Ukraine has not made a “compelling case” for permission to strike deep into Russia with American weapons. “Ukraine is better off focusing on destroying targets in Crimea. Strikes on Russia are not worth the risk of escalation.” - American officials.
  3. The blue-collar workers at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Pennsylvania, USA, receive a humble word of gratitude from Ukraine‘s President Zelenskyy. They and their families are part of a struggle which is happening on a global scale. God bless them all! God bless America!
  4. It's also in podcast format: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-deserter-an-epic-story-of-love-and-war/id1767961533
  5. The Ukrainian drone attack on ammunition depots in Toropets, Tver Oblast, near the Estonian border, resulted in the detonation of 30,000 tonnes of explosives, which means 750,000 shells. According to EDF Col. Kiviselg, the ammunition had been transported to the depot shortly before the attack. The loss represents two to three months' worth of Russian ammunition supply.
  6. And on the diplomacy front... Germany has the receipts.
  7. Good thread detailing the state of Kursk right now
  8. It looks like either Russia makes extremely strong windows or they have a widespread design flaw in their buildings: Shit. War is this close to just being Battlebots
  9. NPR's reporting has toed this line- using framing like: "indiscriminate explosions across public places like grocery stores, hospitals, and malls with thousands of people dead including children. "
  10. Here's the answer. That video wasn't the hit on Toropets.
  11. Artillery shells sold by Indian arms makers have been diverted by European customers to Ukraine and New Delhi has not intervened to stop the trade despite protests from Moscow, according to eleven Indian and European government and defence industry officials... Among the European countries sending Indian munitions to Ukraine are Italy and the Czech Republic, which is leading an initiative to supply Kyiv with artillery shells from outside the European Union... But Delhi, long the world's largest weapons importer, also sees the lengthy war in Europe as an opportunity to develop its nascent arms export sector, according to six Indian sources familiar with official thinking."
  12. Yes, or if that video is actually the first strike, it would presumably be close to sunset, and these are ongoing detonations that we're seeing from the initial strike.
  13. where all the characters randomly shout "FUCK!" and other obscenities.
  14. It may not have made major headlines, but it has certainly rattled Russian troops. The commander of the assault unit of the 110th Brigade, known by his nickname "Beliy," was arrested. The terrorist is regarded as a highly competent and successful commander, with notable participation in the battle for Avdiivka. A native "Donetsk miner", Beliy has been fighting against Ukraine since 2014. The case stems from Bely reportedly cracking down on drug dealers who were distributing narcotics to the fighters. The conflict was allegedly provoked by the "bearded dealers" [Akhmat], but despite his reputation, the high command has not come to Bely’s defense. Several prominent war correspondents now claim the unit was unjustly beheaded, leading them to scale back their own operations in protest. They're now begging Belousov to help him out.
  15. There's a lot to notice in that picture. Some kind of reflective covering on the ceiling... Also, decorative bird between fly tape streamers.
  16. On behalf of all Ukrainians: Thank you Yandex! “A friend sent me satellite photos of warehouses in Toropets in a personal message. With high detail. Many were lying in the open and easily distinguishable. Missiles in one place. Shells in another, etc. I ask him: "Where do you get all these photos in such high quality?" Do you know where? Yandex and Google maps. B*tch. I'm out of words on this issue. I just don't understand what's going on. Yandex maps, damn it!!!!”
  17. "We almost shot you. We thought you were ukrops [Ukrainians]." A brilliant operation recorded by the camera of one of the soldiers of the 12th Azov Brigade, during which the our Warriors pretended to be Airborne Forces reconnaissance and went to the Russian positions. The finale is worthy of an Oscar!
  18. That's just when the biggest explosions occurred. From the top right picture below, there seems to be daylight during some of the cooking off. Could also be multiple rounds of drones?
  19. AZOV FIGHTERS WALK RIGHT UP TO THE RUSSIAN TRENCHES AND TAKE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS PRISONERS >> Azov fighters walked right up to the russian trenches, pretending to be russian intelligence officers. After abusing the russian soldiers for some time for how messy their trench was, and engaging in other small talk... ...the Azov soldiers fired a few shots into the air and informed the russians that they were now prisoners of Ukraine.
  20. There are reports that Grad, S-300 and S-400 missiles, ballistic Iskander missiles and a small stash of North Korean missiles were stored at the ammunitions warehouse in Toropets, Tver region of Russia. NASA FIRMS shows fires on almost the whole territory of the 107th Russian arsenal. Video above for those without Twitter Big big booms
  21. Quite graphic video from a hospital of many injured/dead.
