More Russian fires, this time it's a warehouse of uniforms.

The film shown of her collecting a uniform was from about a year ago and it was in regards of these people tailoring uniforms for Ukrainian female troops that were pregnant, there was absolutely nothing about these troops being sent to the front, simply uniforms being produced so they fitted and were comfortably while they went through their pregnancy, Russia obviously has decided to tweak the narrative to make it sound like Ukraine is putting pregnant women on the front line.

Errrrr, and then there is this clown


Territorial integrity would have been restored through the granting of special status to #Donbass – the Donetsk & the Lugansk People’s Republics
Where in the Minsk agreement did it say they could invade Ukraine, form a couple of enclaves as separate territories and that makes it all fine?

I've mentioned the problem of re-supply and what happens when we run out several times but always had the response "We have plenty".
Doesn't take a scientist to work out if you are not starting production you will run out.
One wonders how the rest of NATO is faring.

Doesn't need an Engineer either. Even a Duvet Technician can work that out, but it is probably beyond the wit of politicians and the Treasury.

Indeed. How fortunate we are that the enemy appears to be even more incompetent.

They are fairly cracking on with the job, I wonder if they can lay a rail track between two cities?

Or it is a subtle political plan to reduce the size of the armed forces, no mobile artillery, lay off a squadron or two. No ammo, then reduce usage, store those tanks and lay off some tankies.

I always remember the issue with Belgian NATO war stocks when we asked for 1000lb dumb bombs in GW1.

Too much Peace is bad for Defence.

That, tragically, is the Russia Putin has created … he knows his Communist history.

All three key Ukrainian ports are open again and insurance companies are responding by restoring coverage.

French company Turgis Gaillard and Antonov to launch production of Aarok UAV in Ukraine

This drone with a wingspan of 22 meters can carry up to 1500 kg of weapons and surpasses the capabilities of the US MQ-9 Reaper.
