Mighty Russian armor. Wheres that Armata when you need one?
Just came across this timely tweet a moment ago

From thread
"T-14 Armata numbers (and operability) have always been wet vatnyks dreams, however the lack of T-72 surprises me. The news about the recovery of 800 T-62 in the next 2-3 years seems to be the most objective"

Some Twitter threads below on this. Some are demoralised, some are thinking of mutiny, some are complaining about a lack of ammo yet the thought has never occurred to go home, have a beer, shag the wife (or hubby) and live happily ever after. Simple pleasures :)

Some interesting facts from the YouTube channel Ukraine news tv.

The video touches on the subject of arms imports / exports and it's no surprise to find the USA is by far the largest exporter with approximately 3 times the next biggest, Russia. With poor Russian results in Ukraine from its home produced garbage it looks like this trend likely to increase further.

Torn right from the pages of history. History has repeated itself.

Russia gives the West so much material to work with it has to invent very little. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Assuming the translations are correct the Twitter account below quotes primary sources that can be traced and is not largely based on vague secondary sources that thought they heard something when queuing to buy a Big Mac. It lists examples of what the Russian state media permits to be broadcast and is subsequently reported by other western outlets.
At the time of writing i went 2 posts and found this. While i thought it humorous if what people read in the western media seems to be irrational, delusional and horrific it's probably because it is.

"Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.". Margarita Simonyan (editor in chief state controlled RT news) says from the safety of the studio

Going back a further day or 2 will prove it is propaganda and history is indeed repeating itself.

I have issues believing any propaganda coming out of Ukraine. Everything that comes from there turns into a begging session for more money. Shocking, but the Oscars refused to let Zelensky use it's platform to beg for more money, tanks and planes this year.

What people forget is: Zelensky, first and foremost, was and is an actor. It's what he does. He knows how to tug on the heart strings of people. He knows how to manipulate stupid people. He doesn't take No for an answer. He is an asshole. He is so used to getting his way with the USA, he makes unrealistic demands of us, because he knows Brandon will give it to him. His media keeps reporting how the Russian military is failing, running out of equipment, ammunition, blah, blah, blah. "Rah, rah, rah. Support Ukraine. Ukraine is winning" I keep reading. Yet, Russia appears to be kicking their ass every single week. Most of the reporting and "intelligence" is coming from Ukraine only. The US appears to have no inside military intelligence on the ground. Just a bunch of Monday Morning Quarterbacks, sitting in their cushy desk chairs, behind mahogany desks, writing their opinion from the transcripts they pulled out of their ass. Ukraine is spinning their own sob story. Knows Biden will give them more money. Why change the narrative? It works.

Ukraine doesn't want our older military equipment now, they want our best, newest and finest. They don't want to pay for it, they want us to donate all our equipment to them. They want us to pay their peoples pensions and retirement. "Here Zelensky. Here is 40 million" in front of Congress. Oh, that is nice, but we want so much more. Then he try's fear mongering and says if Russia wins, Then the US will have to pick up the pieces and US soldiers will be dead.
Zelensky has had several chances to meet with Putin and try to come to an agreement to stop the war. Zelensky wants everything on his terms only and refuses to meet with Putin. Zelensky doesn't want this war to end, he is making 100's of Billions of dollars off of it. 2 years ago, Ukraine was the most corrupt nation on the face of the earth. Nothing about that has changed in 2 years. They are still corrupt as shit, it's just Zelensky has found several suckers to pad his bank account in the name of war. Fuck the NPT treaty. We need to break it. Treatys get broke all of the time. This isn't the US's war, but Zelensky is trying his hardest to suck us into the middle of it. Then he will quietly take two steps back and run off with the money, while the US is stuck fighting his war. That is when China will join forces with Russia. Fuck him.

We have disaster that happened on US soil a few weeks ago. What does our whitehouse resident do? Sneaks off to Ukraine on a secret mission in the middle of the night. (gee, let me guess....he is delivering pallets of untraceable cash to Zelensky) Buttplug waits weeks before even attempting to go to Ohio. The VP sits in the corner, speaks word salads and cackles at herself. Why are we even paying these fuckers? Trump goes to Ohio himself, on his own dime to see the disaster site and bring supplies on his own dime.

The UK, France and Germany are just as stupid as the US is for continued charitable donations to the Zelensky Retirement Fund and Military Equipment Collection. The only way this war will end is when the rest of the world quits dumping 100's of billions of dollars in Zelenskys lap, makes Zelensky do his job, put on his big boy britches and go sit down with Putin and hash this thing out. Fat chance that will happen.

I'm sure there's plenty more reports on this state side. Frequent updates via BBC

19:20 - What we've learned so far

The Pentagon briefing wrapped up a few minutes ago. Here is a quick recap of what we have learned:
  • The US military says one of two Russian jets collided with a US drone in international airspace over the Black Sea, crashing the drone shortly after 07:00 central European time
  • The US says Russian jets were flying in the vicinity of the US drone for 30 to 40 minutes
  • The drone's propeller was hit during the incident, the US said, and the Russian jets also dumped fuel on the drone
  • The behaviour of the Russian pilots has been categorised as "uncommon" by the US, who says it conducts flying missions in international space routinely
  • Meanwhile, Russia said its fighter jets did not come into contact with the US drone
  • Russia has also accused the drone of flying near the Crimean Peninsula in the direction of the Russian border
  • The Russian ambassador to the US has been summoned and is expected to meet senior US officials this afternoon local US time

Reporters from the Russian newspaper Panorama, citing six Russian officials who asked to remain anonymous, said the MQ-9 was shot down by a group of radical pro-Russian Ukrainians. Previously, they rented a small aircraft carrier in India, hijacked a Su-27 and repainted it in the colors of the Russian Aerospace Forces. Then they took off from a secret airfield in Moldova. The operation was financed from a Belarusian company registered in the name of two natives of the Odessa region of Ukraine. There is irrefutable information that the actions of this group of people have absolutely nothing to do with the Russian government.
