Stuff 08/09:
Russian stuff blowing up: Russian Shahed drone strays into Latvia
Eventually somebody should shoot one of these damn things down. Another fuel depot goes bavovna. Time to start on the next 100k. This is equivalent to the amount of fuel needed for 1,000 Il-76 transport aircraft, or to refuel Russia's entire tank fleet...

Just finished off the first episode and will be watching the second shortly.
All three of these descriptions (so far) are correct, and already, whilst undoubtedly oversimplifying things, It’s reinforced in me that, ultimately, this is a war of good against evil.

The Russian Military:
Russia runs out of tanks in md 2025.
- 2000 "manufactured" a year.
- 1500 refurbished old models.
- 500 new vehicles T80 / T72 variants.
- Boneyard's empty by mid 2025.
Loses 6000 a year. Though rates are dropping doe to the lack of tanks actually committed to assaults.
The same applies to APVs (BTR-X BPM-Y etc) and other weapons.

Just read this and it pretty much sums up my views on the whole scenario.

Like I posted last night, this is ultimately a battle of good against evil. I know it’s more complex and nuanced than that, but that’s ultimately what this boils down to at its base level.
Anyone who looks at the principal actors and cannot see this, has gone so far down the rabbit hole that they are beyond saving.
The Zelensky Story review – you can feel the humanity radiating from the Ukrainian president
To watch this documentary about the one-time comedian’s astonishing journey to statesmanship is to feel that you’re witnessing the birth of a hero

The front line is less than 8km (4.9 miles) from Pokrovsk. Serhiy Dobryak, the head of the city’s military administration, says that Russians target the city not just with ballistic missiles and multiple rocket launchers - they also now strike with guided bombs and even artillery, as the city is now within the range of those weapons too.

If invading Russians seize this vital transport hub, Ukraine could lose the entire Donetsk region.
