Russian stuff blowing up: French AASM Hammer missile may have seen first use in battle

Looks like this Russian soldier was using some kind of anti-drone gun right before the drone hit him in the ass. The AASM Hammer is an air-to-ground missile. France has pledged to supply 50 of these per month. It can be used with warheads up to 1,000...

The insanity coming from Russian nationalists is almost incomprehensible.

Interesting article on Ukraine funding:

Why are Biden, Germany (and others) refusing to send military aid that Ukraine desperately needs?

Well before I got a time-out, some people were arguing with me saying that PDA has a spending cap. This is true, although it’s arbitrary and can be changed. There’s still around $4 billion of PDA funding still available — billions of dollars, not...

Biden could send up to $4bn of US stocks to Ukraine (and ACTMS5 missiles are useless agInst China), Scholz on Torus etc etc.

Thank you to everyone who helped us get the tractor. There are still some demining attachments to come, thanks to everyone who continues to support and believe in what we are doing. This is a step in the right direction for us and the local economy, which relies heavily on farming

Russian stuff blowing up: Ukraine reported to have hit Russian command center

There isn’t a lot of information on this attack yet. Hopefully HIMARS caught a lot of senior officers napping. The 70th Guards Regiment was recently operating near Robotyne. One bomb failed to explode but another one did considerable damage. Ammo Dump...

Жители Керчи сообщают о мощных взрывах. По некоторым данным, идет атака дронов, как водных, так и воздушных . Крымский мост перекрыт.

Breaking news from a russian channel
Translates:
Residents of Kerch report powerful explosions. According to some reports, there is an attack by drones, both water and air. The Crimean Bridge is closed.

No more info at present but fingers crossed.

Russia appears to have lost yet another ship to the country without a navy.

Apparently near Kerch, so I guess the Bridge wasn't necessarily the target.
