The video went viral and flew around the world a few days ago.
 This is Tanya from the Vyhovtsi brigade, a former confectioner in a peaceful life.
 When she went to study to be an ACS gunner, she was the only girl in the training division.
 Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
 Death to enemies!

I had a dream last night.  I was like the movie Red with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman. 
Putin is sitting on the podium for his glorious May 9 parade and then all hell breaks loose with one of his red white and blue demonstration jets getting shot down and crashing into the Kremlin, a Javelin takes out a Tank and then two snipers pop his head off like a T72. 
For an encore they take over Russian tv signal and just send war crime video out to the whole country non-stop.

Weird. I had the same dream except I motorboated Helen Mirren before plowing her from behind.

Near Popasna in the Lugansk region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a group of Libyan militants who fought on the side of the Russian army. Their participation in the war against Ukraine was agreed upon during a visit to Moscow by the head of the Libyan National Army, Khalifa Haftar, on March

They need the artillery support soon.  Shelling Russian positions and towns in retaliation is necessary.   I am guessing the russians just set up their artillery and leave it in the same spot.    Maybe they can get some of those German self-propelled units donated if they are as good as advertised.  

Artillery is better than not having artillery, but they need precision guided options like the Switchblade that can make surgical strikes on specifics targets with much less concern about retaliatory counter-strikes.

Range is the only issue.  Can you piggy-back a drone on a larger drone?  Guessing you can?  This might be an end-around on the SB's limited range.  Imagine a Predator or some other larger drone carrying a dozen smaller SB's - all with multiple operators that can save their power from NOT having to get to the target and being able to loiter and pick off specific options in mass.  Russians seemingly are unable to break the decades long habit of mass formations.....especially artillery.  Few dozens SB's could render an entire artillery regiment moot in a matter of a single engagement if they can find them.

My Plan II thesis adviser was part of that department (he died last year, I just saw) - my thesis was a comparison study of the fate of the Baltics vs. the Balkans post-Soviet collapse.  I can't remember a damned thing I concluded, though, other than the broad conclusion of "nation states built around a single ethnicity had an easier go of it than those with a mix of historically combative ethnic groups/tribes."  Good for the department for standing up.

Don't know if this has been posted.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/senator-chris-coons-calls-for-conversation-on-deploying-u-s-troops-to-ukraine/

Assuming Coons is being a mouthpiece for Biden, from past instances, is this propaganda or preparing the nation? 

Next week, next month, or next year, I have all but accepted this is the direction we're ultimately heading if Putin remains in power. Not advocating for accelerating things any faster than necessary, but as we've basically declared we want to bring down the russian government and are conducting economic war today, its seems like where we end up as Putin gets more desperate.

Meduza.io uncovers the story of several murders, rapes, and looting near Kyiv.  The investigation includes identifying details of some Russian soldiers that committed the atrocities. Forgive the English— this is a Russian language outlet. 
 

Meduza is a good outfit, banned in Russia of course, but one of the few homes for Russian investigative journalists to ply their trade. Consider kicking them a few bucks as they are doing vital work that others can’t do to uncover what Russia is doing at home and abroad.

Tapatalk is really struggling and did the double post for me as well. The interesting thing is when Tapatalk can’t load a twitter link from MillerEP, it just loads a random surly topic. Like your clicking on Ukraine links and then the Surly “Beer 2018” thread pops up.

That song was inspired by a guy doing that with helicopter parts. So kind of on point.

Out of all of the possible transportation modes to cobble together, a helicopter seems like the worst.

@956 Worldwide Any idea what this song is? I've heard it on a fair number of the videos.

True, true.  But unlike Cadillac, Bell wasn't trying to change up all their parts every year.

This explains so much.

Seems like full on autarky coming.  It's because of the planned nukes.  I am on the ledge now.

Ukraine isn’t going to give him one. He would take Donbas and land bridge to crimea in a second, but they want to fight for it.
