Русский корабль - иди нахуй

I didnt realize this post was going to be a fucking algebra 2 equation

 

I know I am late to the party... but holy shit, that boat drop shot being perfectly aligned with the wind....     I know its always bit of a guess on those drops, but that was a hell of a lot of wind movement that they compensated for.

took about 5.0 seconds from drop to explosion (the slow mo at the end has to be estimated), puts the drone about 125 meters above them. 

i measured the distance at release point to be about 3.5-4 boat lengths.  so... assume 4m boat size (seeing that small zodiac's are ~4m)... that fucking grenade moved laterally about 14-ish meters in the air.  thats a fucking hell of a slice.

I'm pro Ukrainian victories in their battle for liberty.

I struggle with the reality we live in now of war seen from X/Twitter/social media.

Not critical of anyone posting them here, and I acknowledge that war is ugly. It's the surreal aspects of it being posted that is a struggle for me. In the "damn war is brutal" sense of it all. 

I grew up in a place where I became desensitized to gun and physical violence. I don't want to become desensitized to war violence.

I don’t want to sound like a history nerd, but I have to point out that Florence Nightingale wasn’t on the Russian side during the Crimean war.  To this day, Russian military medical aid Is more like stealing your share of the roasted Ukrainian pet dog while you bleed out a couple clicks to the front.

I'd be willing to bet Mali would be happy to sacrifice a large number of their folks to completely destroy Wagner teams.  Russia can't exactly spare more troops and equipment.

Kind of reminiscent when hundreds of Wagner troops took on a couple of US Army Green Beret teams, some US Marines, and a couple of US Air Force combat controllers in Syria.  

[InkaUtexas 25907]

This is the opposition in Mali, who have been fighting the French trained government for years. The government kicked out the French, brought in Wagner, so it is just another enemy.

China's trade with Russia is getting so difficult that payments can take half a year and most bank transfers are returned

China's trade with Russia is getting so difficult that payments can take half a year and most bank transfers are returned

• Trade payments from Russia to China are taking up to six months to clear, the Kommersant reported.
• Chinese banks are tightening compliance checks, fearing repercussions from Western sanctions.
• US secondary sanctions on financial institutions aiding Russia have intensified since December.

 

Trade between Russia and China is getting ever more difficult, with some payments between partners taking up to half a year, the Kommersant business daily reported on Monday.

About 80% of bank transfers made in the Chinese yuan are also getting bounced back with no explanation, after being stalled for weeks while banks decide if they can go ahead, per Kommersant, citing unnamed sources.

Such returns can result in exchange rate or commission losses for Russian businesses, per the media outlet.

Kommersant's report highlights intensifying pressure on external parties dealing with Russian companies that have managed to keep their international business activities going despite sweeping sanctions.

 

Earlier this month, several unnamed major Russian commodity exporters told Bloomberg that trade with China has become increasingly difficult, as even direct payments made in the Chinese yuan were getting frozen or delayed.

The troubles started in December when the US authorized secondary sanctions targeting financial institutions that help Russia skirt sanctions.

This prompted global banks from China to the UAE, Turkey, and Austria to reduce transactions with Russia to avoid getting in the crosshairs.

The payment issues were exacerbated last month when the US Treasury rolled out a new package of expansive US sanctions against Russia, forcing the Moscow Exchange — Russia's key bourse — to halt dollar and euro trade.

 

To get around tightening restrictions, some Russians who want to buy goods via Chinese companies now have to go through intermediaries — at extra cost, according to Kommersant.

The US and its allies are punishing those who deal with Russia

The development comes 29 months after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

To force Russia to halt its war, West blocked some Russian banks from the widely used SWIFT messaging system for payments early in the conflict. However, Russia and its trade partners have been able to skirt sanctions by using smaller banks and other payment modes or non-US dollar currencies.

 

The continued business activity between the two countries sent trade between Russia and China to a record $240 billion last year. In June, China's yuan-denominated exports to Russia grew 4.76% in June from a year ago.

Beijing has not condemned Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine nor sanctioned Russia. The two countries are not formal allies but have a long and complicated relationship that has been getting closer in recent years.

Even so, the US and its allies have been intensifying restrictions.

Earlier this month, a top Russian banker said the sanctions-evading methods should be made a "state secret" because they keep getting shut down so fast.

"Whatever steps we take, we can see that the reaction is very quick," said Andrei Kostin, the CEO of VTB Bank, Russia's second-largest lender.

Russia has said it's working with a group of countries to build a platform that doesn't need the dollar.

Some Russian businesses have also used cryptocurrencies with settlements done via Hong Kong, but through central Asian intermediaries, Bloomberg reported last week.

The second large-scale assault by Russian troops in the amount of 57 (!) units of armored vehicles of the positions of the 79th Airborne Assault Brigade

The following were involved: 10 tanks, 47 armored fighting vehicles with infantry, 10 motorcycles and 1 buggy.

Despite the huge amount of equipment, the assault was repulsed, 12 armored fighting vehicles, 8 tanks, 9 motorbikes and buggies were hit. 36 occupiers were killed and 32 were wounded.

There is a recent video where they sit around making bread cakes from grain they have stolen from Ukrainian farm animals because Russia has not provided them food for 27 days.

I guess you can call that ‘some care.’

My understanding is that medical care for the Battlefield wounded is virtually nonexistent.  I am positive you are correct that the personal feeling soldiers have for their friends is a real thing.   But it is not like three healthy medics will be occupied caring for the wounded Russian soldier.   if the medic can hold a gun, he’s dead and lying in the field next to the wounded Russian.

Russian tanks are pure shit.

I used to believe that the armored conflict in Desert Storm was so lopsided in our favor because our troops enjoyed superior training and night-fighting capabilities.

And while I'm sure that's true, it's also true that Russian tanks are pure shit.

[Chopper 17230]

WASHINGTON—The U.S. has agreed to arm dozens of F-16 jet fighters being sent to Ukraine with American-made missiles and other advanced weapons, addressing a longstanding question about the Western aircraft. Denmark and the Netherlands are preparing to send the first American-made F-16s to Ukraine this summer, and more will come later from Belgium and Norway. But until now the source of critical weapons for the planes has been unresolved.

That turret looks like it shattered instead of just being launched.  The hole you see while it's flipping around is much larger than either of the hatches on Russian turrets.  That was quite an explosion.  The crew probably didn't even know that it happened.
