If Putin keeps the war going another 180 days they will be all gone.

Yep. The question is how significant is the damage. Many things can be patched back together or bypassed. Some things take months or years to fix.

My professional gut feel is that much should be brought online fairly quickly, but that’s based on no real information, just experience.

No reprieve for poor Kyiv.

I’m hoping Ukrainian cheering soon becomes reciprocal… Ya Russian $hitbags.

Oh, what a plight,
late December back in twenty-five
what a frigid time to be alive.
as I remember, what a plight.
Oh, what a plight, you know we had no gas to flame,
Our balls were never gonna be the same;
Brakey snakey, what a plight.

…”If Moscow suffers a large-scale energy breakdown during deep winter, Zagorodny warns of chaotic consequences.

He paints a stark picture: “Then half of Russia could rush to plunder Moscow, and that would be a real civil war scenario.””…

They’ve had nearly four years to sort this and yet are still suckling on the Russian energy teat.

This article is well and truly for the military buffs.

Russia’s Changes in the Conduct of War Based on Lessons from Ukraine

“Adapting Technology, Force Structures, and the Defense Industry”…

…”Overall, the AFRF’s ability to innovate and adapt through the integration of new technologies and tactics challenges conventional wisdom about its military capabilities and how Russia will reconstitute its military force following the war’s conclusion in Ukraine.84 The spread of these technologies to Russian allies highlights their broader impact on global security. These developments pose potential threats to the Baltic States and their NATO allies, in which they will need to address these challenges to be ready for future war. Further research could identify whether the Baltic States and their NATO allies need to change their legacy military strategies to enhance their AD systems to detect and counter the persistent threat of OWA drones like Shahed and invest in the development of lightweight C-UAV EW solutions to protect their combat vehicles and troops from the imminent threat of Russian FPV drones.”…

Monday mornin’ feels so bad

Well then, there should be no problem in acquiring and firing them deep into farken Russia. Should there?

What it means to be “going Hungary”.

Resolving through Diplomatic means. Ha.. DisPutin agreeing to anything except for Ukrainian capitulation? I’m calling bull$hit.

“Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still” — a Chinese Proverb.

A fair rant from DisPutin’s media codpiece.

Now we’re talking… “Kick ‘em in the nuts”.

Russia using cloud technology.

A Repugnican’t Treasury Secretary speaking on Faux News. So… Believe it or NOT.

Now that the Orange Nong has solved his 63rd war this month, he’s free to focus all his attention onto the one he was gunna solve within 24 hours - 8 and a half farken months ago.

Ya know, I feel sure it’s just a matter of time management.

C’mon… Who doesn’t like a looooong weekend?

Are they allowed to call the knuckle-dragging, murdering, psychopathic, fark-wit Putin a ‘gangster’? The low-life cvunt won’t like that sort of talk… And I don’t blame him.

Vlad. Vlad. You’re being much too modest. If in 1939, Adolf Hitler got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize… So should you.

Get your name out there Vlad. Invade somewhere else additional… C’mon, lift your profile.

Yesterday, the Alaskan talks had run out of goodwill and were irrelevant… Today they’re still relevant. I’m hanging out to see what farken mysteries tomorrow brings.

I’m suspecting that Melania has an IQ in the high forties and is thus the brains of the household.

G’day Bomber tragics.

The POMS are willing to spend up big, as if it’s not even going to effect the Bank of England.

Is the planned spend just a sugar fix?

The Ukraine War Is Making North Korea Stronger Than Ever

In a future war with North Korea, the Russian Pantsir-S1 would be tasked with intercepting US fighter jets and missiles.

When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, no one could have predicted that North Korea would benefit from the Kremlin’s illegal action.

More than three years after Russian troops poured into Ukraine, North Korea has proven to be a key ally of Moscow, providing ammunition, weapon systems, and even troops in exchange for money and weapons. The North Korean military is even operating Russian air defense weapon systems.”…

Technology Without Victory: The Ukraine War – OpEd

“The Russia–Ukraine war transitioned into a new operational phase in October 2025 when it introduced advanced technology systems, which did not produce meaningful strategic achievements.

The conflict has turned into a war of attrition through drone operations and defensive positions, and diplomatic stalemates. The research demonstrates that fast technological progress has made destructive operations more powerful yet failed to produce decisive political results, which has extended the endurance test for Ukraine and its people and their foreign supporters. “…

Strap yourself in for a Gripen ride.

This Ruben knows his stuff.

…”“But I always say that Ukraine defends not only its own country, but the rest of Europe from Russian aggression. Therefore the best investment we can make in our shared security is to help Ukraine. And I see that many countries in southern and southeastern Europe are lagging, and I hope they will also provide greater support.”

Thanks also for including a link to Mediazone’s/ Meduza’s ^ confirmed russian KIA count. They have slowly built the definitive documented record of confirmed russian deaths.

I just wanted to point out to anyone who is interested in the casualty figures of this war is that the figure of 135100 dead is war deaths only with a published obituary.

This method gives us a severe under count of the true figure: the real figure would be much higher.

The biggest Achilles heel of this method is that after the early stages of the war the russian MOD’s standard practice was to no longer tell relatives and next-of-kin if a soldier dies, they just list them as missing in action. Then they get out of paying the death payment and other bonuses. This leaves the families in legal limbo. In a lot of cases the official policy may not be an overt lie ; the body may have been blown to bits and thus never recoverable, they may have gone AWOL/deserted, or become a POW. So, no official (published) obituary.

A combatant may not have next-of-kin or living relatives. They may have relatives who, for whatever reason, did not or could not post an obituary.
The figure also doesn’t include foreign mercenaries, foreign citizens (e.g. North Koreans), fighters from Luhansk, Donetsk, Crimea and other parts of occupied Ukraine.

Although they have tried to mitigate that with an estimate based on excess male mortality from the national probate registry.But this is another set of numbers that may be questionable and not reflect the whole truth. Also, bear in mind that official census numbers (even if fudged or just made up) are now classified.

Not just the Russians.

Our very own government did this after WW1. Refused to pay war widows any pensions for anyone killed MIA. And if you know anything about trench warfare in WW1, you would know many of the casualties would never be recovered.

So not only did those women lose their husbands, they had to bring up their kids working as singlle mothers without any support. Just imagine how hard that would be, especially in the Depression.

And all the time the government was telling the wives and mothers that their sons/husbands could still be alive and could turn up any time.

What absolute shitheads would do that?.

Ukrainian OSINT channels write that it was at the site of the strike in Donetsk that the Russians set up their own workshop for the production of FPV drones, Molniya-1/Molniya-2 attack drones, and loitering munitions.
