These two adverts just popped up on Bluemoon as I checked this thread.

Apparently my posting in here has lead the internet to believe I am a lonely Russian oligarch.

2 reasons for this bullshit.

It's mostly for internal consumption to keep the people on his side, and prevent those who do "know" from dareing to say so, but also for propoganda for external use amogst supposed "friends", but almost nobody in the outside world will believe it, without some significant evidence.

Of course, most of us predicted this when the attack occurred for the reasons (and others) you have outlined.

Hence the sarcastic “who could have predicted this?”

It is following exactly the path anyone familiar with Putin and his MO would expect.

Our government couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, let alone train Islamists to shoot up Russians.

The

French Ministry of Defense reported on the pace of arms production and plans to provide military aid to

Ukraine.The Minister of Defense of the country, Sebastian Lecornu, told about it.

This year, the French defense industry should produce 600 modified AASM aviation bombs. Next, this number will be doubled to 1,200 aerial bombs.

By the end of March, the government must hand over 100 bombs as part of military aid to Ukraine. Our Air Force actively uses them on the front line, integrating them on MiG-29 fighters.

Lekornyu also reported on the discussion of the integration of AASM aerial bombs on F-16 fighters, the first of which should appear in service with the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces already this year.

This year, the French MBDA unit is to release 40 SCALP cruise missiles, the production of which has been stopped for a long time. These missiles are used by the Ukrainian Air Force to attack the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

France will also release about 100,000 155-mm artillery shells this year.
Of these, 80,000 will be provided to Ukraine as part of military aid.

Within the "artillery coalition" program, France, Denmark and Ukraine financed the production of 78 Caesar self-propelled howitzers at the facilities of the Nexter company. All of them should be produced by the end of the year.

This year, the French government also plans to allocate a new package of military aid to Ukraine, which will include armored vehicles, in particular, additional VAB armored personnel carriers and AMX-10 reconnaissance vehicles

Tedious cunts.

The idea that we would even try is utterly ridiculous, we're still bombing them in the middle east, just like russia are.

The ridiculousness of the claim is largely the point.

Russian stuff blowing up: Ukraine targets another 'Russian' ship

Another Russian (actually originally Ukrainian but stolen by Russia) warship goes down. In the earlier attack on Sevastopol, the Ivan Khurs, an intelligence ship, was indeed hit and damaged. Chalk up another one for Bradley’s 25 mm gun. Yet another...
