I would think that ship still has unexploded ordinance.  Not sure you wanna be swimming around down there.

Yeah, I was gonna' say.  Definitely a "technical" dive.

Pretty sure the salvage value of all the vodka still aboard makes it a worthwhile endeavor.

If possible, they ought to try and salvage the whole ship and have that big wreck as a monument in the middle of the capital!

Their news sets remind me of a gameshow, they even have the same music.

I was thinking this too. Is this all they show on the 2 Russian stations all day? Do they have sitcoms or cartoons in Russia to take a break from? Or are those all western made and they had to be pulled

Not only does Ukraine take the seat but they place a Crimean Tatar to the post.  Well played Ukraine.  Well played.

So, they're holding dead people hostage now too?  At least destroying the cemetery would complete the act of barbarism their forefathers brought upon the Poles.  A bit more extreme than pissing on their graves though.

As if the Poles weren't already anxious to fight.

I still think they're trying to bait NATO to enter the fight (not sure why because they're fucked if we do) and getting the Poles even more riled up might do it.

Nope, one guy. A machine. An assembly line of murder. 
 

The goal was to kill 22,000, and that wasn’t hard for the Russians. The goal was also to keep it quiet, and that required a special process and limited numbers. 
 
You have to think that at some point it dawned on Blokhin- “It sure would make it simpler for everyone if I were killed at the very end”. Maybe that’s why he drank himself to death (allegedly).

OK, so yeah - read the article.  JFC.  True psychopath in the literal sense.  His "grave" needs to have a shitter put over the top of it so people can remind him what they think of him.

Perhaps they think China would join them as Player 2 in that scenario.

They can also try and claim "western aggression" to try and unify everyone back home.

Probably as an officer near the front, he needs his helmet but it has to be able to accommodate a radio headset?  Who knows?

If their supply folks are anything like ours, then he just got fucked over and they gave him the Mongo sized helmet.  Probably doesn't happen to officers like it did to us enlisted scum, though.

He is sending one to each of my kids. I am paying for the frames. But appreciate it! Let me push him to do more. If so I will hook you up with one. You can buy me a beer sometime.

Good read on RA equipment losses - it's the "captured" numbers that get my attention.  Wonder how many have been repurposed?

How the hell do you capture a Helicopter? 

I was kind of wondering the same thing.  I was also wondering the difference between "abandoned" and "captured". 

Maybe some Ukrainian farmer just hooked it up to his John Deere and dragged it off of some forward location.  They are definitely some resourceful folks.

My guess might be something it having hydraulic failure due to UKR fire, has to force land quickly and they get the hell out of there.  Or shot.  Whatever.  UKR fixes the lines and voila, a Russkie killing machine.

Somebody in the Gun Owners thread is already looking for one for his son.

Yep.  Had a bunch over the years that I wish I still have (except my shorter-barreled Mosin Nagant.....fuck that angry little rifle)
