TB2 impact is very much over stated. The number of videos that are coming put are hardly any. Russians are taking out at least 1 a day. It remains to be seen how many remain. The promised deluge of drones from US might make a difference if Ukrainians get all of them. Russians are now stretched at t...

That’s the thing. It is actually making a significant difference on the ground. ATGMs such as Javelin and NLAW, the Bayraktar drone, and the surface to air Stinger are believed to be among key reasons the Ukrainians have disrupted the Russian assault for so long. And taken out so much of their armo...

One interesting aside is the Russian tolerance of weapons being supplied to the Ukrainians; they have not raised any noise about it. It is telling - the Russians probably believe it will not make a difference to the situation on the ground. That’s the thing. It is actually making a significant diff...

Russian sources are talking about a “new phase of war”- focusing on use of stand-off weapons - including hypersonic and cruise missiles, to reduce ground force casualties. Take that as you will.

Ok there’s more shenanigans. Russian state broadcaster cuts Putin’s speech half way. Calls it a technical issue. Wtf?

It’s so simple I feel stupid for not getting it earlier- we now can understand Putin’s strategy for mobilising public opinion behind him (crucial for his overall strategy). It’s the (real or otherwise) Nazi menace. Of course we’ve all been read of Putin’s demand for Ukraine’s denazification many tim...

I’ve been saying for a while that all indications are that Putin has popular support in Russia. Below appears to be more evidence - a very recent (today?) crowd of 200,000 on a rally preceding a Putin speech in Moscow. https://t.me/intelslava/22758 Edit - short YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/...

I’m imagining some guys with beards in Kashmir…javelins plus ‘plausible deniability’: Beards in Kashmir get whatever weapons the pakis give them.
