  1. U.S. Intelligence has reportedly begun to observe a Significant Movement of Serbian Military Forces towards the Border with Kosovo including the Deployment of several Tank, Artillery, and Mechanized Infantry Divisions; National Security Advisor, John Kirby stated that we are now witnessing an “Unprecedented and Destabilizing” Development which could cause Conflict in the Region. Worth noting^
  2. A #Russian drone (I am sure of the origin) crashed near #Galati, 21 km from the #Ukrainian border into #Romanian land at 2.5 km from a town with a population of 270,000. #NATO air police are currently on high alert and flying fighter jets at low altitude. A second drone (sources tell me) was heard a few dozen minutes ago. Even if these drones are not intentionally sent by Russia against Romania, they may also have implications for observing Romania's response. At the same time, these drones are only arriving in #Romania because of the Russian Federation, the one that initiated this illegal, immoral, illegitimate and unprovoked invasion! Brăila (7.5 km away from the alleged site of the drone explosion) is a city with a population of 155,000 inhabitants, making the Galați-Brăila concentration the largest urban concentration after the Bucharest capital area. The Romanian authorities must respond firmly this time!
  3. That definitely seems to be the case. I can't remember if this was posted here yesterday:
  4. Western countries plan to increase weapon production in #Ukraine, as reported by The New York Times. According to the newspaper, yesterday's visit to #Kyiv by #NATO Secretary General Jens #Stoltenberg and the Defense Ministers of the United Kingdom and France is connected to these plans. Just have to give them substantial air defense in the meantime.
  5. Follow-up on earlier report:
  6. More of the story of the Ukrainian who fell out of the boat during the operation to disable air defenses on the oil rig. "I really wanted to live": the story of a special forces officer of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine who fell out of a boat and swam for 14 hours in the open sea. In mid-August, a fighter with the call sign "Konan" from the Artan battalion of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine was carrying out a special operation in the Black Sea. When the Defenders were returning back, an enemy Su-24 came on their trail. Trying to evade fire, their boat began maneuvering. That's how "Konan" ended up overboard. Shortly before that, the special forces officer decided to put on a life jacket and remove all his equipment, leaving only a diving thermal suit. In 20 minutes he was already 130 kilometers from the shore. The fighter admits that at first he panicked, but decided to swim. The landmark for him was one of the gas rigs, which was located about 20 kilometers away from him. "Konan" swam despite dehydration and fatigue. Only thoughts of his family added to his strength. At one point he saw a boat approaching. There were his brothers-in-arms who had tracked him down with the help of the Bayraktar. "The first thing I did when I felt the solid ground under my feet, I wrote a message to my wife, but I still haven't told her about what happened" - said the Defender in an interview with UP.
  7. Post it. I saw something about it yesterday but if I recall correctly it wasn't a source I was familiar with.
  8. Weird stuff happening: Edit: this and other issues were progressively resolved by refreshing the pages a few times
  9. I wonder if Ukraine intentionally detonated it or if it was just good luck. More information about yesterday’s Khalino military airfield incident. As per Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine: At the airfield "Khalino" in the Kursk region, a Ukrainian drone was landed by Russian electronic warfare systems on the runway. When the leadership of the aviation regiment and FSB officers arrived for closer inspection drone exploded. As claimed, the following were killed or injured during the explosion: → commander of the 14th aviation regiment; → one of his deputies; → a group of aviator officers; → a representative of the FSB military counterintelligence; → airport employees.
  10. Ukrainian forces chipped away another part of the Russian trench network, south of Robotyne, and reaching the outskirts of Novoprokopivka. Additionally, the Ukrainian army widened the control near Verbove, reaching at least the perimeter of the village. This also paraphrases that the primary Surovikin line in this sector has been clearly breached. While those tactical advances are interesting, more importantly are the strikes in the Russian-occupied areas such as Crimea, Melitopol and Tokmak. They continue to shape the operations, degrading the Russian capabilities and logistics on a strategic level.
  11. Watch this. No CR: If Biden isn't going to make a public case for supporting Ukraine, we need more ads like this
  12. He was way more forthcoming in that interview than I expected
  13. 9/22/23 Reading this thread. Jk...thanks everyone for sharing.
  14. Agree, but if C is a 2-way, which seems increasingly likely, they really need to make 2 left turn only.
  15. So I guess that's not suitable for the Crimean bridge
  16. I don't know what else is out there, outside of the Taurus (anyone else have the Ford product in their mind?) but I believe the UK and France have already sent their equivalents.
  17. Maybe a token amount sufficient enough to provide Germany "cover" to send the Taurus?
  18. I think I disagree. 2 has no paint or (I assume) signage indicating it can turn while 1 does, so 1 is the only lane that can turn and should go to A. If they want to make B able to turn, they can paint it or add signs. Regardless, it's a bad design that was obviously completed piecemeal and/or without going through the trouble of merging the lanes prior to the intersection to make it clearer and safer.
