Of course he's bluffing.

Yesyk AIr Base, off the Sea of Azov, was attacked by drones last night, with burning buildings suggesting at least one did its job.  Hopefully more info will follow.

As far as I can judge from this, the Vladimir's effort to scary NATO is taking effect, right?
Sounds great. Z guys love such news!

Over 100 drones sent to destroy those buildings.

 

We may be seeing the law of diminishing returns here, the cost of the drones may be greater than the value of the target.

I read somewhere that in the aftermath of a nuclear conflict, the survivors will envy the dead. I reckon that's true.

Russia and China's disturbing (and secret) agreement

 

Russia and China's disturbing (and secret) agreement (msn.com)

What a rubbish report. From the article

 

Another large-scale project was also revealed by Reuters: a Russian-Chinese center for research as well as production of drones could be created in the province of Xinjiang. The center could produce 800 drones per year. Moscow's military capacity would thus be strengthened.

 

Does anyone think that a factory in China can only produce 800 drones a year? They obviously have no idea about China’s capabilities.

The horrors of Putin's invasion does not stop the compassion of the Ukrainians to their beloved cats. I heart warming moment.

Putin's imaginary red lines, when nothings going his way, use the tired old red line trick, the one he's been using since the beginning of the war.........ooops Special Military something or other. Then let his minions spread the word for the gullible to swallow hook line and sinker.

 

Putin knows he will be damned if he is first to use nuclear weapons – Polish President

Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and his generals are well aware that the first to use nuclear weapons will be damned.
Source: Polish President Andrzej Duda, in an interview with TVN24, a Polish 24-hour commercial news channel, reports European Pravda
Details: Duda was commenting on the statement of Vladimir Putin, who on Wednesday evening again threatened to use nuclear weapons if there is any massive attack on Russia.

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/09/26/7476955/

You message started very optimistic - "imaginary red lines"... But the ending is not happy at all. We see that Duda is not laughing and trying to damn the use of nuclear weapons to stop it. He is using quite desperate words:"The world would never forgive them". It is quite different from the usual "He is bluffing haha" what is generally expected.
As a Z guy I only want to know whether pants of this European leader are wet or not yet when he told this to journalists. Did you see the video?

This is a war of attrition. Russia is losing troops on the battlefield, is running out of tanks, and its supply base is being destroyed.

 

How long can Russia hold out? Not as long as Ukraine.

[problemfarang]

UPDATE from Kursk,

so far we are holding against orcs attacks. i am sad that i dont have good news today. We are short of arty but still nothing serious. Ammo is not bad. We are allowed to carry 5 mags each which is more than russians. When i was in Bahmut we were only allowed to have 3 mags. Avdiivka 5 mags.  3 mags will be enough for only 30-40 min gun fight maybe little bit more. No food & water problem. 

 

we are still helping local civs.

 

for the guys talking about russian war crimes: today we watched with our drone operator how russians killed our surrendered 3 great brave men.. they shot them in cold blood. RIP 2 georgian 1 colombian heroes. 

 

we got 3 POW today too. I am not sure but i think one of the russian POW was already wounded from his leg but sent back too soon. 

 

my squad's resting time is coming next week. We will be resting for 2 weeks. Im planning to come back to Thailand and rest at my home with my cats. Replacements will be here next week. 

 

EDIT: our drone operator told me that we bought 1 FPV observation drone with the donation coming from thailand. i dont know it is you or not.. but all i can say is... thank you.. i mean it.

 

Слава Україні!

After Putin falls, the new Russian government may agree to deliver Russian war criminals to The Hague for trial. 

This is what was going to happen and  the whole world froze in anticipation. As far as I remember, the Yugoslavia receipt of democratization included  Zelensky`s strikes deep Into Yugoslavia using 3000 tomahawks of similar missiles, F16, and the shocked citizens bringing his leader direct to Hague for trial.
But something unexpected happened when Zelensky visited USA recently. A tough Russian guy Vladimir draw a scary red line and ... everything is cancelled already - no Ukrainian strikes deep Into Russia, no F16 flying in the Russian air, and, subsequently, no trial in The Hague.

I’ve been watching the last 2.5 years and learning that there is no path to victory for Ukraine. Constantly short of arms and troops, losing ground every single day, having to depend on foreign mercenaries from Romania, Columbia, Georgia etc, as reported by one poster.
