Worst of all he make Russian's look extremely idiotic with his bullshit. I look forward to reading about the window he falls out of or the explosion he's involved in at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Another amazing theory being discussed by Russian sources. The Russia Army encouraged Wagner to attack Bakhmut knowing that it would suffer massive casualties. But they didn't think Wagner would actually be able to take the city. Now that they have, they have a big problem. Wagner are withdrawing and handing over Bakhmut to the Russia Army, But knowing that its completely untenable and will soon be surrounded by Ukraine. The Russian Army knows this but the alternative is to let Ukraine literally walk back into the city. Prigozhin takes the glory for taking Bakhmut leaving the Army to take the disgrace of losing it at some stage in the future. Civil War creeps closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the alternative that they always take the piss out of and shut down as quickly as possible. He's also right.....

Mandy Lifeboats Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 A Russian tank being hit by a Javelin missile. At first glance it seems like the missile hits at the front because of the long thin trail of smoke. But if you look carefully you can see the missile appear from behind the tank. That long thin trail Is the missile coming out the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That long thin trail Is the missile coming out the other side! This perhaps isn't that unusual. The Javelin uses a twin warhead to defeat explosive reactive armour. The missile uses a small initial explosive to cause the armour to react and then a second larger one to fire a stream of metal into the target. It's possible that this either had the first explosive defeat the armour on its own and the second charge fired through the other side, or the charge was so powerful and hit the target so perfectly it blew through on its own - one of the benefits of the Javelin against tanks is it was designed to target tanks from above where the armour tends to be weakest, so it's possible this was pretty much a perfect hit and the missile did exactly what it's supposed to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I have been watching air traffic on Flight Radar 24. At around 6.00am every airliner near Moscow turned away. Twitter is suggesting that something big has just gone boom in Moscow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Makes you wonder why they bother with the drones. They never hit anything, cause any damage or kill anyone (yes I know, both sides are lying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
