Thoughts and prayers, @Rasputin_Vol. Thoughts and prayers.

And now for news that will cheer @Rasputin_Vol up.

Russia has lost so much money due to the Ukraine war that it's now trying to raise $4 billion by slapping a windfall tax on its oligarchs (msn.com)

Putin having to admit to state media Russia is running low on equipment. Dont tell Ras.

Путин отметил, что в ходе СВО стало понятно, что России не хватает многих видов вооружения
"In the course of a special military operation, it became clear that many things were missing. These are high-precision ammunition, communications equipment, aircraft, drones, and so on," Putin said at a meeting with war correspondents on Tuesday.

"We have them, unfortunately, we lack them quantitatively," the president said.

Talk about double speak: we "have" them, but "lack them quantitatively "?

he doesn't want people to infer from his comments that the technology never existed

Imagine if we lost nearly 4,000 tanks in the gulf war. I don't even know if we have that many to lose. I know most of them are probably old soviet era junk, but that is pathetic.

We had points against UGA last year, but lacked them quantitatively.

It sounds like he's trying to cushion worse news to come.

I've heard the same thing about our military. With the efficiency of the Pentagon procurement department and 160 page operating manuals and testing that must accompany each box of cereal, there is an 8 year backlog on Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes.

You have Mandela. It is Froot Loops
Actually you are old and grandfathered

Kellogg's, a lawsuit that claimed that the word “fruit” in the cereal name implied it was a fruit-based snack, and that it was misleading. In the end, a settlement out of court was arranged and the cereal name was changed and re-released in the year 1963 as Froot Loops.

You should read the DOD manual on how to clean and operate a paper clip. !

The one for ear wax removal or the one for use on paper?

"Thus diplomacy is appeasement and war is peace."

That about sums it up.

LOL, that is what every country known to man during war has always done to rally support...... Russia included.

The author would have done just as well to have educated us all on the wetness of water!

If this guy set out to sound like a three year old on the elementary school playground he's knocked it out of the park!

oh there is some definite soft selling coming from the Russia media and people in charge.

The change in rhetoric is noticeable. A lot more qualifiers getting thrown in, admitting to certain small issues, or what they are claiming as small issues (cigarette fire on the Moskva). Finding some non-party people to blame. Looks like Wagner's days are numbered as an independent organization. or some other mid ranking administrators that didn't work hard enough to save the Union.

Gotta give a tip o the hat to Russians... in all my years on this planet, I've successfully trained ZERO beaver.

And that... THAT is one big hairy flying beaver.

Also: On a sadder note, their clowns can't afford full facial makeup.

 

[MontyPython]

Glide bombs - not HIMARS - killing mobile Russian MSTA arty in the South lines. RF counterattack fail. Bigly.



Actual boom boom... of note multiple other sources confirm GLSBs not HIMARS here.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it odd that the Russian lady in the painting seems extremely proud of her pet log?

I beat a few up back in the day........ But the red snappers remain undefeated.
