  2. We knew it was happening but interesting to hear directly how it affected the conscripts' thinking Sky News: Russian conscripts surrendered to the AFU to avoid being killed by Chechens They are soldiers from the Russian 488th Motorized Rifle Regiment, which is made up mostly of conscripts. As they fled, they were shot at by Chechen forces on the Russian side, who were "there to prevent them from running away". "They went the other way, back to the enemy and surrendered. So a whole company of young conscripts, all 18-, 19-year-old boys, surrendered," says security and defense analyst Michael Clarke. Glide bombs going the other way is nice
  3. Haha yes, I've seen him
  4. I've never actually seen what Dom looks like. Much younger and normal looking than the older surly man I had pictured.
  5. "The head of the prison, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to ensure the prison location would not be revealed, said 320 Russians have passed through the facility in the past 10 days on their way to other prison camps in Ukraine. The vast majority are young conscripts, the official said, with only around 20 percent identifying as contract fighters or otherwise mobilized soldiers." @siobhan_ogrady Tetiana Burianova @maryilyushina @s_morgunov washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/… "With a bandaged arm, he was among several in the room who were wounded. Out of 60 men he fought alongside to try to repel the Ukrainian incursion, only four or five survived. The rest refused to surrender and were killed in fighting with Ukrainian troops, he said. He knew he might stay in prison indefinitely but hoped Russia would find a way to quickly return the young conscripts home."
  6. Different degrees of nuance here, so I'm posting a few. The gist seems to be that no additional military aid from Germany will happen. What has been announced is supposedly going to be fulfilled and any additional aid must come from frozen Russian assets. Germany stops military aid for Ukraine, — Bild Chancellor Scholz, with the support of Finance Minister Lindner, ordered that any further aid for Ukraine be frozen. Current contracts are being fulfilled, but new requests for aid, especially from the Ministry of Defense, are not being approved. ❗️This is not entirely correct, as continued financing is to come largely from frozen russian funds. We all know Olaf Scholz and his many lies in connection with this war. It shows that Olaf Scholz's promises to support Ukraine for as long as it takes, may have been a lie again. Let's hope for the best. Germany is temporarily freezing military aid to Ukraine to save costs, according to FAZ. Chancellor Scholz and Finance Minister Lindner have halted all new funding requests, though existing contracts will be fulfilled. Germany is also working on redirecting funds from frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.
  7. This section (far left on the map, not in green) was definitely untenable.
  8. Crazy footage shows a brilliantly planned evacuation of Ukrainian fighters and destruction of the enemy in Pokrovsk direction. The Russians came very close, but after accurate hits by artillery, the crew of the 47th Brigade's Bradley IFV saved the lives of the soldiers by firing at the tree line. t.me/brygada47/976 I've seen quite a few posts saying it's surrounded at least. Video of Russian POWs allegedly from the area is posted in the thread, but Twitter won't allow embed.
  9. WAR CRIME This is a radio intercept about the beheadings shown in the ISIS like video of the Russian 155th brigade In the radio intercept, the commander give the order to behead 4 people and put their heads on sticks like in the gruesome video. One of the victim is presumably a captain in the Ukrainian army. The filming occured likely near Kolotilovka RT = Highly appreciated, let the world know about Russia terrorism @SecBlinken
  10. I've seen a lot of discussion of the Seym River being used by Ukraine as a natural barrier to both force out Russian forces and defend the captured territory. Sure makes the HIMARS loss more palatable if this pans out. Green below is territory not yet captured.
  11. That is a flattering picture of Kim.com
  12. GTA: Russia "... enemy equipment."
  13. Little green men have visited Russia.
  14. Yeah, well, what do you have to say about this, Mr. President??
  15. The Biden administration is "open" to sending long-range air-to-surface missiles to Ukraine. We are talking about JASSM missiles — Politico The issue of "sensitive technologies" related to this missile, which has a 450 kg warhead and can strike at a depth of 370 km, is currently under discussion.
  16. Might help explain his reassignment Ukraine's top general disobeyed Zelenskyy and blew up the Nord Stream pipeline without permission, report says https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-general-defied-zelenskyy-to-blow-up-nord-stream-attack-wsj-2024-8
  17. Extended Ukrainian control of the Kursk region has been confirmed on two more axis. The southeastern area of Sudzha almost up to Gir'i is under Ukrainian control. Most of the Sudzha district is now under Ukrainian control. Furthermore, Ukrainian vehicles have been seen further north and are now confirmed more than 30 km from the border. On a side note, that marks also the first time that Ukrainian forces have entered the Lgovsky District at the southern end (Green area in screenshot 2). Congrats everyone! We're finally fulfilling Patton's wishes! "Not the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but dressed-up NATO soldiers have entered Russia's Kursk region!" - that's what they're telling the Russians. Dear followers from NATO countries, I decided to translate this for you because you may not be aware that you have already entered the territory of Russian Federation.
  18. Still crazy that these are being used, and they seem to be effective enough to employ 30 of them Ukraine has deployed more than 30 robot dogs in the fighting in Donbas, Bild has said The publication says that since the front line is changing very slowly and the fighting has become trench warfare, Ukrainian troops have deployed robot dogs, which, thanks to their four paws, are highly maneuverable, can scout the area for booby traps and detect enemy movements. Robot dogs move silently at a speed of 15 km/h and operate within a 3.5 km radius of the enemy for a maximum of five hours at a cost of €4,000 to €8,000.
  19. Over 117 drones and 4 missiles attacked Russia last night. Local residents reportedly shouted, "Guys, at least shoot down one!" The drones flew too low to be detected by air defense systems, though Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot some down. The drones targeted the "Borisoglebsk" and "Baltimore" airfields in the Voronezh region, as well as the "Savasleyka" airfield in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
