Mr Waldo Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Russian forces released the motor of a UK made Brimstone missile. It looks like the UK has rushed through a surfaced launched conversion kit. If the Russians thought thought NLAW was frightening ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Reports that Russian forces have advanced to the outskirts of Severdonetsk, a n important target for them. At the same time, Ukrainian forces are counter attacking in Kharkiv, pushing Russian forces back from the city. They are also attacking around Izyum, which is a major hub for Russian logistics in the Donbas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Definitely two very conflicting narratives now on the Admiral Makarov: or Having had an irate officer of the Russian army yelling at me in Moscow for taking a picture of the hotel I was staying in which turned out to be owned by the MoD and hence technically a military installation, I'm skeptical it's easy to take a picture like that. When he realised I wasn't Russian he continued to go through the motions of fiercely berating me but was actually smiling as he did so. Didn't wind up in the Lubyanka or anything like that. Doubt he would have been so laid back during war oops I mean special military operation time. Edited May 7, 2022 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Sevastopol bay is a busy commercial port though, not a Navy facility, so I would think it wouldn't be too difficult to just whip out your phone while you are onboard a piece of typical commercial traffic and grab a pic. It's not like the Russians can 'hide' ships in port from anyone who is interested in knowing where things are anyway, so it's difficult to imagine they'd devote the sort of resources required to patrol an enormous bay just to prevent randoms taking the odd snapshot. Who knows if that is Admiral Makarov though, and even if it is, there's no guarantee that pic was taken recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are nothing but soldiers in that large, sprawling complex with underground tunnels etc, and Russia want it, this would be the liklest time I could imagine for a battlefield nuke. Sort of, if they don't do it there, they won't do it anywhere feeling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to feel for some of these youngsters who thought it might be cool to get a swastika tattoo one night in Odessa. Especially the wounded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major casualties for Russia and a nice pat on the head and good propoganda for Kadyrov. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia had basically used these one or two armed football hooligan mobs to sell they're aggression. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that Putin does eventually feel he needs to follow through with one of his many threats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that Putin does eventually feel he needs to follow through with one of his many threats Think a tactical nuke would blow it into WW3. The Russians might go for it as they are getting shown up on a global level and the West may decide f**k it if the rest of their weapons are poor we go for it. Think it will eventually come to a point of full on NATO v Russia. Hopefully I'm in Thailand when it gets hot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
