Dr Kutyercockoff !Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:12:17 +0000Ukraine’s drone wall slows Russia’s advance as battlefield shift Russia’s grinding offensive in eastern Ukraine is showing signs of strain as Ukrainian forces use mass drone warfare and sustained attrition to disrupt assaults and push enemy logistics further from the front. While Moscow continues to gain territory in some sectors, Ukrainian commanders believe a combination of rising Russian casualties and increasingly sophisticated drone operations is making large-scale advances harder to sustain. Russia’s Assault Strategy Hits Resistance Russian forces have largely stuck to a familiar battlefield formula: small infantry groups infiltrate positions, build up local strength and then launch attacks. But that approach is becoming increasingly costly. Ukrainian officials say Russian losses have climbed to around 35,000 killed or seriously wounded per month, with a majority classified as long-term or irrecoverable losses. The result is mounting pressure on Moscow’s recruitment pipeline as fresh manpower struggles to keep pace with battlefield attrition. Drones Expand The ‘Death Zone’ The biggest shift has come from the sky. Ukraine has dramatically expanded its use of reconnaissance and strike drones, allowing operators to detect troop movements, track vehicles and attack targets before they reach frontline positions. The technology has widened the area under constant threat from both sides. What was once a relatively narrow combat zone has evolved into a vast corridor where movement is increasingly dangerous. Every road, convoy and staging area risks detection and attack. Logistics Forced Into Retreat Faced with persistent drone strikes, Russian commanders have reportedly pushed logistics hubs, troop concentrations and command elements 20 to 40 kilometres behind the line of contact. Ukraine has seized on that vulnerability. Medium-range strike drones are now targeting fuel depots, ammunition stores, command posts, airfields and transport routes deep inside Russia’s operational rear. The aim is not simply to destroy equipment but to disrupt the flow of supplies that keeps frontline operations moving. A Technological Race Intensifies Ukraine’s growing arsenal includes advanced drone systems capable of striking smaller and more numerous targets than ever before. Vehicles that once moved with relative safety are now vulnerable to attack. Yet the advantage may prove temporary. Russia is rapidly adapting and investing in similar technologies, turning the war into an escalating contest of innovation. For now, neither side has achieved a decisive breakthrough. But as drones reshape the battlefield, the ability to move men, fuel and ammunition safely is becoming as important as holding ground itself.

There always room for change!Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:04:53 +0000Well said Mr Andrew, you are defending yourself well, behind your curtain.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:02:38 +0000I never figured you for a Catholic priest, Yag.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:01:22 +0000Don't have much of a choice, innit.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:00:30 +0000Thanks. Enjoyed reading your experiences car shopping.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:00:24 +0000Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:59:47 +0000It should be a glorious celebration, I just wish I could go back to the U.S. to celebrate. I hope the treasury produces the $250 Trump bill so I can buy one. It will be worth allot of money someday.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:58:55 +0000Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:58:26 +0000Yep ... I used the Samsung service shop in the Samsung store in Mega Bangna for screen and battery replacement. They had to phone a central warehouse center and order the parts, and I picked up the repaired phone 3 days later. It was quite expensive, but cheaper than a new phone. However, the phone died a few months later, so in my case it was not a good strategy, but they used genuine parts and kept the boxes as proof, plus returned the old parts.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:55:06 +0000No its just you. Should look up regulations as Im sure you have (not)Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:53:11 +0000So very true impulse, the socialist Democrats encourage illegal aliens to invade the United States in the hope that these people will vote for the Democrats in the future and perpetuate the welfare state the the U.S. is becoming.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:53:00 +0000I don't believe that, either. I think it's so bred into their DNA that they can't stop themselves from working. It doesn't take that long for them to no longer need more money. That's why I think capitalist money should be capped. Nobody deserves a billion dollars. Let's be generous and cap them at $500 million. In fact, their money will just keep making money exponentially. And we skim it off for good works. Govt takes all the rest. And they'll still keep on wortking, benefiting society or destroying the planet.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:52:48 +0000Unfortunately very true Kawthar Bashar al-Husayjawi was a 15-year-old Iraqi girl who was brutally murdered in May 2026 in an "honor killing" in the Nahrawan area, east of Baghdad, Iraq. The Quran does not speak of or condone honor killings. In fact, the practice is strictly prohibited in Islamic law The Quran states that taking an innocent human life is a grave sin, equivalent to killing all of humanity (Quran 5:32)Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:50:06 +0000Nobody "caved in" couple of suckers got together and contacted IPC about the goings on of unfrozen in Thailand,convinced them of their wrongdoings ,producing a letter from them of a fine of £250 quid, ( how jealous could anyone be) paid it and continued frozen, Transam victory of sorts. No punishment,paybacks,reduced pension,so there it is. Frozen should stay frozen accept it like good chaps,and stop intimidating the unfrozen and those deciding what not to doMon, 01 Jun 2026 14:49:57 +0000Hmm, I'll go with "he has a pulse"Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:49:30 +0000I remember the Football Home Championships in the 1970s when Scotland would come down to Wembley to play. On the day of the match, all the pubs would be taken over with hoards of their fans to shouts of "I see you Jimmy!" and "Give it laldy!". Invariably they lost though apart from once in 1997 when after their 2-1 win they invaded the pitch and dug up pieces of it as souvenirs to take back to Scotland to keep on their mantelpieces.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:49:11 +0000Well, I see the racists scuttered out from under the baseboards. Israel doesn't hide its women, it corrupts them to kill. Christian tradwives? All religion is evil. But this story has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with the corruption of religious teaching, all of which preach peace and love. Some who think themselves religious didn't get the memo.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:48:32 +0000oH dear is your T.DS that bad ?

But, back around 1975, I once drove my car around the Bronx for a few hours between the hours of 1am and 4am. Plenty of brothers hanging out on street corners amidst the devastation down there, at the time. I parked my car, and walked back to a few pimps standing on the corner, and asked them where I could find a service station to check my oil. They were COMPLETELY Cool..... They had never seen a whitey, at about 3am, get out of his car, and just walk on up, and ask them such an idiotic question. I just wanted to check them out. Also, I just wanted to see if it were true, or not, according to Taxi Driver, that the Bronx was a place where most drivers never ventured after dark. True, at the time, there were places that looked like a War Zone. But, the pimps down there, at 3am.....were very Cool...... And, POLITE, too....!!!! Maybe they just thought I was crazy.....because....YOU KNOW....... When being attacked by INDIANS in the Wild West of America, it is always best to feign being CRAZY....... Those guys were Cool....and I guessed that if you were polite, and did not threaten them...then...they were just like anybody else. Also, as you know, American Pimps are very intelligent...so..... I was able to relate to them immediately.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:31:26 +0000
