This says something about Russia’s equipment levels.

It's correct actually. The Royal Danish Navy call their OF-3 Orlogskaptain (captain) while their OF-5s Kommandør (commander).

Testing new Ukrainian ceramic plates and the results are superb in my eyes.

It really is mind boggling that she can’t look in a mirror and recognise that she’s describing themselves….

The plot thickens. Russian VDV troops threaten Shoigu and Gerasimov.



"Servicemen of the 7th Airborne Division recorded an audio message to the Ministry of Defense. In particular, they spoke in defense of their commander of the Airborne Forces, Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky. The catalyst for this appeal was the removal of the commander of the 106th Airborne Division of the Airborne Forces, General Seliverstov . In addition, in early July, General Kornev was removed from command of the 7th Airborne Assault Division. “We, the paratroopers, warn that we will not tolerate such actions in relation to General Teplinsky. And in the event of the slightest threat to his life and freedom, we will stand as a wall to protect the honor and dignity of our commander. We are very determined. Up to the point that we will withdraw from our positions and go to the rescue of our Bata. You, those who sit in the offices! The landing party does not abandon its own! Do not make fatal mistakes"

It looks like purges in the ranks of the Russian army continue.

Russian sources say that Major General Vladimir Selivestrov, who commanded the 106th Airborne Division, which is now located in the Bakhmut direction, was fired.

As claimed, due to "unaccommodating character".

A russian tank cannot find a safe haven anywhere - not even at the bottom of a river.

During the siege of Chernihiv in February-March 2022, the russians attempted but failed to force their way through the Desna. Divers are still retrieving equipment sunk by the invaders.

The tank will enter service with the #UAarmy after minor repairs.

I know they're paid to say what they do, but the cognitive dissonance is astounding. Threatening Paris and London with, I guess, nuclear attack without a thought that it would be returned. Astounding. One (me) watches this stuff with mouth agape; and she's right, they no longer have any friends. Who, exactly, started this?

Take part in the state program of development of the Far East You can expect: 1. The opportunity to choose any of one of the regions of the Far East 2. Receipt of a lift in the amount of 240,000 rubles additional 120,000 for each family member. 3. Guaranteed employment. Average salary of 55,000 rubles. 4. Preferential conditions for admission to universities for families of program participants.
Yeah, 'You can expect' et al, but will you actually 'get' it. Probably not. Expect all you want, take what's given.
