The RU master plan breaks down at point 2.
What is funnier is the continuing brouhaha over responsibility. Vatnik channels still vehemently deny any Ukrainian involvement and keep spinning the ‘friendly fire’ narrative. Lol.
Bump
And that’s the Minister’s reading of it too. Although some still think those crates are safe.
Protesters are protesting
It is going to cost taxpayers $2 Billion to scrap/bury them? WTF?
If the Army wanted to get them disassembled they could just park them overnight, unlocked, in Beenleigh…
The RU attacks on UA infrastructure now make a tad more sense. Through their own incompetence, corruption and lack of general maintenance, they have denied a lot of their own citizens any form of heating. So they probably think that UA citizens should not have any better conditions than their own citizens. I expect to hear stories of people dying in apartments from the cold. At least all those soldiers who have died for the cause can rest easy knowing that their families have a load of firewood to sustain them this winter… for a little while at least.
Along with 40 SCALP cruise missiles, France is donating 100 AASM bombs. These are precision guided, rocket powered with a range of 15km when dropped from low altitude. Up to 50km range, but Ukraine won’t be able to risk aircraft near the front at high altitude.
They’re actually trying to assist Russia by sending draft-dodgers back to Russia so they can be conscripted.
I’ve been trying to confirm the $2 Billion figure as it sounds insane. The only source I came across is a comment from a leader in the Australian Ukrainian community. . Can anyone here find a credible source ?
Im sure the russian military police and conscription officers will be waiting at the airport for them

After a brief pause in kamikaze drone attacks, Russia once again launched shahed drones overnight. Out of 20 that were launched, 19 were shot down.
Well, no news is good news, right?
