Putin is losing arguments and time, Germany will send Ukraine additional billions. Russia will pay for all the crimes that it commits.
This has been sitting in my drafts for a while. Germany, instead of subsidizing its failing industry sends billions to Ukraine, which is literally throwing money into a bottomless well. Ukraine is losing this war, and any money spent on Ukraine might do some damage to Russia but ultimately is a bad investment unless the former is the goal, it will never be recovered.
Russia is bombing Ukraine every five minutes. They are planning a positioning control that will be impervious to any existing jammers.
So, in my last post I spoke about the twilight of the heavy tank. Ukrainians are reporting that the Russians have changed tactics. They are now pummeling Ukrainian positions with glide bombs and are using sabotage groups that infiltrate behind the enemy lines and specifically seek out Ukrainian drone operators to destroy them. Something like that happened in the town of Druzhkovka. I first found the video above but then the same was said on the Euromaidan Press. Further I found a post in Armádní Zpravodaj. The Russians are developing an AI driven positioning that will bypass any existing electronic jammers. Russia employs glide bombs more now that Ukraine has a shortage of air defense.
The sabotage groups behind the lines would require a well trained and well equipped special forces. I don’t know how much it takes to create such a squad but Russia could create a whole army of such groups. The glide bombs as I mentioned benefit from the absence of air defense that allows the Russian aviation to operate relatively unhindered but imagine if there was a dense air defense present, how effective would this tactic be? The glide bombs however can be launched from a long distance with an information retrieved from spy satellites.
So the other day, Czech media reported that German heavy tanks Leopard 2 delivered to Ukraine sit idle in the woods and are not being used because of drones. Funnily enough, Czechia sent all of its Soviet tanks to Ukraine and bought 40 Leopards. 🐆 So we will have a fleet of legacy technology that seems to now be obsolete.
A tank packs a tremendous firepower but it is slow and expensive and the people have spent the better part of the second half of the twentieth century coming up with ways to counter the tank. FPV drones seem to be the final nail in the coffin ⚰️ of the heavy tanks. Armored knights and pikemen persisted well over the sixteenth century but eventually faded out by the time of the 30 year war. The future will see lighter, faster, smaller, more autonomous kind of vehicles carrying big guns. Or perhaps will see a return of the heavy tank with a plasma shield. 😆👌
I have to ask, why should Russia rush the advanced in Donetsk and Zaporozhye? What is the point when now it is safe to fly aviation and drop Fab 5000 on the heads of the Ukrainians and make the survivors flee and pick them out with drones. There are sabotage groups working behind the lines attacking Ukraine’s drone operators. Russia clearly doesn’t need rapid advance along the front as Ukraine is sending ever more forces to stop the Russian advance.
While the Ukrainian attacks on the online retailer Wildberries, and the previous attacks on refineries are impressive and make life difficult for ordinary Russians, I have not noticed however, that this has having any effect on Russia waging war. Russia actually protects a lot of its key military installations with air defense and that’s why Ukraine strikes the targets it does.

Anyone that thinks Ukraine is winning because the Russians are standing in line for gasoline ⛽️ or because Wildberries warehouses are burning is an idiot. This is a false image, nothing has improved for Ukraine on the front, Putin has not flexed and Russia is pummeling Ukraine every night with drones and rockets. And Russia will answer Ukrainian attacks with further escalation.
Huge interest in Ukrainian warriors. “We thank you Czechs very much, ” they intimated.
This Viktoria Yurchenko call sing Runa has a Viking savage Neonazi and cyberpunk look and she gives me the creeps. Can you imagine smashing with a girl that has neck tattoos? Why do women even join military? To be barracks bunnies. And she has that stare and it doesn’t come from FPV goggles.
The Czechs that support Ukraine don’t understand what it means to fight Russia and are being related a skewed reality through events like this. They wouldn’t show you the thermobarric barrage or the FABs that cut Ukrainian lines to pieces. While Russia hands Ukraine 1000 bodies, Ukraine hands Russia 30 bodies. Somehow a show like this is allowed in Czechia but I would go to jail if I did an event supportive of the Russian military, where I would tell everyone of the deep fucking Russia is giving the Ukrnazis.
Ukraine is losing this fight and it was apparent from day one. And the Czechs that support Ukraine are idiots.
Rassvet (рассвет – dawn), the Russian answer to the American satellite internet, Starlink is creating anxiety in Kiev. The Ukrainians are saying the Russians are building it faster than expected.
Since the Ukrainians managed to convince Elon to turn off Starlink to the Russians, it is only natural the Russians were looking for alternatives. A question remains is why didn’t they do it earlier? Maybe because Starlink ate up the revenue and now there is a niche opened. Maybe Russia was planning the rollout anyway but the shutdown of Starlink expedited the process.
A message to the people of Russia: Your old life has ended. This is the first war in your history, where the Ukrainians are not fighting beside you but against you. You are fucked.
Robert Brovdi has some bravado that the Czech media like to repost. But these fighting Ukrainians are dying like flies. Russia is using aviation to drop glide bombs at command centers of drone operators, and successful strikes at Wildberries and Ozon do not bring peremoha on the front any closer. In fact, the much vaunted Ukrainian drone campaign is giving Russia as massive experience in resisting this menace.
And I fear for the future of Brovdi. If Ukraine loses, he will have to go into obscurity like Mengele because Russia will be hunting down the guys that did it wrong. I think Brovdi has never heard about what happened to the Chechens, or maybe he forgot.
Ukraine is adding to European security and can make a World player out of Europe.
You know, every bullshit that the EU promotes is presented as a ticket to World dominance and golden future. The Green Deal, regulations, Ukrainian membership. The argument in the article is based on the propaganda that Ukraine has developed a modern military that integrates drones, AI, and the production of drones. And this could be of help to the emerging security infrastructure of Europe. Because Murica is decreasing its influence in Europe, Ukraine with its experience would be a vital component of the future security of Europe.
This idealism rests on potential Ukrainian win in the war and the restoration of Ukraine to its 1991 borders. It operates with the myth that Ukrainian membership in the EU would lead to success of the Ukrainian state. And the reason for Russian invasion is to prevent Ukraine from becoming successful and European.
The latter is bullshit, Russia cannot tolerate a hostile regime on its borders. Ukraine is far from winning the war, and this prevents any membership in the EU. EU would have to break with its rules to admit Ukraine. The Ukrainian military is being fed by fear from NATO states, their drones run on Palantir AI and are navigated by Western satellites. Even their production is just Ukrainians assembling parts delivered from abroad. Palantir is American, does the EU even have anything equivalent? The EU uses Ukraine as a testing ground and when the Ukrainian proxy is spent, their drones run know how will remain in the EU. Ukraine is losing this war and will likely be subjugated by Russia, and the EU will have to cope with this reality.
Ukraine is defending itself to prevent Russia from occupying the entire country.
Russia doesn’t have to fight.
They can end this war at any time by withdrawing their troops.
The argument that Ukraine is a sovereign country invaded by Russia is valid but Russia did not invade Ukraine without a reason. Ukraine is an anti-Russian regime and did not follow the Minsk Accords. Russia has invaded to protect its territory and to neutralize the Ukrainian regime, prevent it from joining NATO. Much like Murica that is bombing Iran. A sovereign county with an anti-American and anti-Israeli regime. Russia has the moral right to protect its security and its sphere of influence. And demanding that Russia stops its hostilities is a wishful thinking of people that unequivocally support the Ukrainian regime.
