[Sir peace frog]

[Sir peace frog]

Large Russian truck carrying ammo,was also hit earlier,Soledar area.

Slava Ukraini.

 

[JASR]

Also sending 30 SPG AS90( armoured self-propelled artillery weapon) and 100 armoured vehicles.

Slava Ukraini.

The AS90 is a good fit, as they already have similar.
Not sure on which AFV they will be, but clearly not the diabolical and still not allowed in service, Ajax’s!

Not being cynical for a second but surely this would be rewarded regarding resupply when this fiasco is over.

Fiasco?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Fiasco?

....well perhaps not the correct word depending on how you want to look at it but it's a total fucking waste of a lot of things. Or as described by the OED a complete failure, especially a ludicrous or humiliating one......

A former commander with the Russian paramilitary Wagner Group has claimed asylum in Norway after deserting from the mercenary outfit.

Andrey Medvedev, 26, crossed the border into Norway last Friday, where he was detained by border guards.

After spending two months underground in Russia, he crossed the border into Norway last week.

Mr Risnes said his client had also witnessed a host of war crimes while fighting in Ukraine, including seeing "deserters being executed" by the Wagner Group's internal security service.

"In short he felt betrayed and wanted to leave as soon as possible," Mr Risnes said.

Something a little odd about this story, he was a "commander" yet he only joined them in July 2022, how do you get to be a commander in such a short time ?

It probably depends on who he was commanding and their continual losses. Either way, he will be a treasure trove of Information about Wagner.

Hopefully, but he was only with them 4 months before he buggered off.

Wagner is all Mercenaries so I would depend on experience before joining I guess. A commander wouldn’t start back at private.
