"The Russian landing ship can hold twenty main battle tanks or up to forty other armored vehicles that could support operations in Ukraine."

If you did you would have to bring your own Beer Chang as I can't see them serving it in that lounge. ????

It would be the 3rd major ship as Ukraine sunk a large landing ship in dock as well. In addition there were 2 high speed coast patrol boats sunk .

Looks fun! ????

Italy SEIZES Putin's £570million superyacht: Luxury vessel 'owned by Russian President' A giant superyacht said to be owned by Vladimir Putin was last night set to be seized by Italian authorities after they recommended it be impounded as part of sanctions against Russia. Authorities in Italy said the $700 million The Scheherazade, which is more than 450ft long, and boasts spas, swimming pools and two helicopter pads was connected to a 'significant person' but did not name them. The late night announcement came after fears grew that The Scheherazde was about to slip away and head to international waters and avoid any possible sanctions. Daily Mail

I would assume the "rescue ships" are Orc Navy ships and part of the blockade and attack on Ukraine. As such they are legitimate targets no matter what their current missions is. ????

Russia forced to abandon close fight tactic as Putin's troops coming out 'second best' RUSSIAN troops have been forced to abandon close combat tactics in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin's army finds themselves coming out 'second best' against the Ukrainian military. A former head of the British Army believes the ferocity of Ukraine's resistance has forced Russia to ditch close combat tactics in favour of artillery strikes from a distance. Lord Dannatt has warned the conflict raging in Ukraine has become a deadly artillery duel with the Kremlin reluctant to send Russian troops in to engage Ukrainian defenders up close amid heavy losses.

Wear rubber flip flops.

Agreed. The Russian people will never hand Vlad over to foreigners for trial. If a Russian coup was successful, the most likely outcome would be a hastily formed rifle squad to execute him.

This thread is about the military conflict in Ukraine. The continuing discussions about taking Vlad to court for war crimes is fantasy and as Champer Higgot said "distracting". No foreign forces are going to enter Russia and arrest him. The best outcome is that he is deposed or killed by his own people. Alternatively, he could again copy Adolf Hitler and retreat to the Russian border from where he would build up a "fortress Russia".

Russia sees £4m next-generation tank disintegrated days after battleground debut - VIDEO VIDEO captured the moment a £4 million next-generation Russian super-tank was struck by Ukrainian forces just a few days after making its debut on the battleground. The video, released by the Ukrainian military, purportedly shows images of Ukrainian forces successfully shooting and blowing up a Russian super-tank worth £4m just a few days after it was first rolled out in the ongoing conflict. The tank, with reinforced steel and a special automatic defence system, is believed to be a highly advanced Russian T-90M and it seems to be the first to be destroyed in Ukraine. Daily Express Video

Sorry but I think you need to start your own thread on this instead of hijacking this thread.

Russians are 'KICKED OUT' of Azovstal steel works as fighting enters third day Heavy fighting raged inside the Azovstal steel works in Mariupol for the third day running as the wife of the Ukrainian commander warned people are dying 'every hour, every second'. Russian troops tried to capture the complex and failed to observe a ceasefire before they were kicked out by the plant's defenders, according to Zelensky adviser Oleksiy Arestovych. Daily Mail

This thread is about the military conflict in Ukraine. It is not about the history of Putin.

It's good but it is Off Topic.

What was hit which was under camouflage? I couldn't make it out. I am guessing a big gun?

Tourists are going to watch Thai movies and Muay Thai? ...... nahhhh! Most come for the Sun, Sand and Sangria! ???????? PS. Sangria = any alcoholic drink!

DON'T MENTION THE WORD "SHARK"! around a beach resort.

This is Thailand that is why. I doubt very much a tourist can walk into a bank and buy any type of insurance. ????
