  1. NSIAP, I had to suffer through Hallmark movies over the years.
  2. Russian milbloggers think this was what recently shot down the Su-34
  3. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1971489392729743480.html?utm_campaign=topunroll 2/ The Russian military correspondent Maxim Kalashnikov writes that he recently met air defence specialists who had been sent to fight in the infantry after spending the last two years crewing the Soviet-era Buk air defence system. 3/ "Professional air defence specialists in the infantry. Not convicts, not drunks, not ‘Sochi boys’. In other words, not deserters from the army. But in the infantry! Someone has to serve in the infantry too. 4/ "But not real air defence professionals who know the equipment inside out. So why are they in the infantry? Simply because there just aren't enough missiles for the Buk missiles. Often, there are just one or two missiles for every six vehicles. 5/ "Lately, they've been delivering missiles received from the navy. What this means, let the experts judge. And the General Staff strategists will be held accountable for the missiles and drones falling on Russian cities. That's how we fight." 6/ Kalashnikov doesn't explain why missiles are in such short supply, but the most likely explanation is that Ukraine's nightly waves of drone attacks against refineries and other targets have severely depleted Russia's stockpiles of Buk missiles. /end
  4. One double homicide at the time that they know of. I’m guessing he’s got more.
  5. I've put together a timeline of incursions into the airspace of European countries in recent months. Honestly, when it's all in one place, that looks very worrying. Please let me know if I've missed any incursions. Poland August 20: a Russian drone exploded over Lublin Voevodeship September 10: massive incursion of Russian drones into Poland's airspace; 19 drones detected. Norway: April 25: Northeast of Vardø; July 24: Eastern part of Finnmark region; August 18: Northeast of Vardø; September 22: drone(s) over Gardermoen. Latvia: September 18: a tail part of a Gerbera-like drone found on the beach; September 25: Five Russian aircraft close to Latvia's airspace; Hungarian aircraft rose into the air to take over. Estonia: September 19: Russian MiG-31 aircraft spent 12 minutes in Estonia's airspace. Romania: September 13: Russian drone in the country's airspace, tracked down by two F-16 jets. Germany September 26: several drones spotted over/near Schleswig-Holstein. Denmark: September 22: Copenhagen's airport closed due to drones; September 25: Aalborg and Billund airports closed, drones were spotted at Esbjerg, Sonderborg and Skrydstrup. September 26: airspace over Aalborg airport closed again due to drones. Sweden: September 26: drones spotted by Karlskrona Naval Base. Lithuania: September 26: Vilnius airport closed down twice due to alleged drones flying in the area. Finland: September 27: a drone spotting over Rovaniemi power plant became public knowledge. Allegedly, the incident took place several days earlier. As Prime Minister Frederiksen explained today, these are hybrid attacks, there will most likely be more of them and the security threat is very, very real.
  6. Lavrov: The North Atlantic Alliance continues its expansion right up to our borders. We have repeatedly offered NATO capitals to respect their obligations and agree on legally binding security guarantees. Our proposals of 2008, and the next ones, including December 2021 [the one that preceded Russia's full-scale invasion into Ukraine - AG], have been ignored and continue being ignored up to this day. Moreover, threats of force against Russia are increasingly being made, with accusations that it is practically planning to attack the North Atlantic alliances and the European Union. Russia has never had and does not have such intentions, but any aggression against my country will be decisively rebuffed. There should be no doubt about this among those in NATO and the European Union who not only convince their voters of the inevitability of war with Russia and force them to tighten their belts, but also openly declare preparations for an attack on our Kaliningrad region and other Russian territories. Lavrov: Russia is being accused of almost planning to attack the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union countries. President Putin has repeatedly debunked these provocations. Russia has never had and does not have any such intentions. However, any aggression against my country will be met with a decisive response. —————- I don't think I need to remind anyone here how vehemently Russia denied its plans to invade Ukraine before the full-scale war.
  7. Another one for @PTINS this time on the other side of Moscow, affecting western Russia. If officials admit to “minor damage” and that pumping operations were suspended, that probably means it’s out of commission for a while. ^^^^ not my numbers, somebody else posted them
  8. That’s 84 in Russian years. The Kursk had only been in service for 6 years when she sank in 2000.
  9. Aiming for that Noble Piece Prize.
  10. I’ve used it more than I thought I would with some other games. I’m not the most enthusiastic about it, but there’s no other alternative since ICQ and AIM went away, and IRC has fallen into disuse. “A/S/L?” doesn’t feel the same on Discord as it did on ICQ.
  11. Trump talked about regime change earlier this month, and now we are building up to something. Meanwhile, this is helping to unify Venezuela, and Madura as well. And Madura is mobilizing everybody - arguably he needs a war more than Trump does.
  12. Yeah, really makes me wonder what’s about to drop.
  13. I would like to see Leon and his merry band of Incels go to war against the GWAR fanbase.
  14. 1234. He and Pete are pretending the DoD is called the Department of War for a reason whether it’s the streets of D.C. or Venezuela. And he’s not going to pick a tough enemy.
  15. Saudi Arabia and a few others may spend $50 billion to take EA private. Makes me a little nervous. Exclusive | Electronic Arts Nears Roughly $50 Billion Deal to Go Private - WSJ
  16. Lukashenko getting nervous or acting as a proxy for Russia?
  17. Mick Ryan posting photos of his morning walk...
  18. U.S. preparing options for strikes on drug targets inside Venezuela: sources – NBC New York Lot of Venezuelans are gonna die until people stop taking an interest in the Epstein files.
  19. And if that doesn't work, you talk to your dad, and he takes the next step which involves driving 500 miles, across the state line, to dump something in an abandoned deep-ass coal pit full of water. Once word gets out around school, nobody will fuck with you. Sports always wins when it comes to the broadcast networks.
  20. For all of Russia's bluster, they've decided not to see if NATO would shoot down any of their jets. FlightRadar24/FlightTracker getting a workout. Now do Mike Gundy's replacement. Meanwhile, in Germany
  21. For the aircraft porn aficionados
