Late Open Comment. 15 Mar 2022

 

I didn't cover it but did you know that when the war in Ukraine first kicked off the Brazilian AF flew their brilliant new cargo airplane to rescue their citizens inside that country? Unsung, but well executed exercise by a good ally.

And here she is in court.Marina Ovsyannikova, with human rights lawyer Anton Gashinsky! via Reddit

 1.  Reddit is like Twitter or TikTok.  You find what you're looking for. If you go to Twitter or TikTok for porn you'll find it.  Same with Reddit.  I once had the same bias before I put it aside and started looking at some of the sub-Reddit's that covered things of interest. You should do the same.

2.  I bet ya "whatever" this display by this newscaster was calculated and planned.  Additionally I bet you'll see her in either New York, Los Angeles, London, or your pic of Western European countries within a year.

3.  The response was also calculated.  A fine of 280 dollars? Not a big hit for what we've been told of the country that is Russia...not for her offense anyway. The story was defused before it could gain traction. Instead of a week long spectacle of worry for the brave journalist it'll be dead before we wake up Thurs.

This is what Russia supposedly asked China for with regard to military aid?

Interesting.

I'm surprised by the request for drones but maybe they're doing the "technological" leap thing and pushing for the loyal wingman to pair with the SU-57 while taking a bit of risk to get there.

Surface to Air Missiles?  Total shock on this one.  Gives a bit of credence to Ukrainian claims of capturing quite a few of them.

Armored vehicles?  This is borderline shocking.  The Chinese have embarked on their own versions of MBTs, IFVs, APCs, etc.  If they're going for the Chinese version of the JLTV then that would also kinda fall into that category.

I'm betting whoever is running some of those design bureaus in Russia are trying to find the deepest darkest hole possible to hide in.

Putin will soon enough get around to them and it won't end well.

First hand account of the attack on the Ukrainian Foreign Legion base...

 Thanks to Alexander Timokhin for the link!

Yeah man, I'll admit I was a little naive myself even having seen some combat previously. I did not expect to be attacked by jets while sleeping in a barracks room on a training base 10 miles from Poland

What makes a crater that deep? Some type of special missile to knock out underground command/control centers or such? Read the comments on this incident here.

Russian MoD video likely taken by an Orlan-10 UAV reportedly showing a Russian cruise or ballistic missile strike on Ukrainian MLRS and ammunition.

Note. Only interesting because of the missiles firing off after the destruction of the MLRS.

Nika Nikoubin: I wonder how many more like her are out there?

 via Heavy

Nika Nikoubin is a Nevada woman accused of attacking a man she met on the dating website “Plenty of Fish” in retaliation for the U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.


The Review Journal obtained the arrest report in the incident from Henderson Police Department in Nevada. Heavy has reached out to Henderson PD for a copy of the report.


Nikoubin is a former cheerleader, Cycle Bar worker, and debate team coach at UCLA, according to her Facebook page.

The attack occurred at the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino, where the pair agreed to meet and rent a room together, KTLA reported.

Story here. 

Wow.  I thought Marine Corps groupies and Badge Bunnies were bad.  This takes dating to a new level.

Be careful out there!

If you hang around certain communities on social media, going to join the Ukrainian Foreign Legion was the thing.

 

If you hang around certain communities on social media, going to join the Ukrainian Foreign Legion was the thing...THE SHIT!

I had my suspicions about some of the fever.  You had some Nazis that wanted to fight with the AZOV Regiment.  You had some guys that always have an itch to scratch.  You had some guys that (as they say in these communities) wanted to do some real live LARPING.

A reader (Russian) posted a reddit post from one of the bubbas that got hit.

Reads like a nightmare.

Fast asleep, apparently no watch posted...and suddenly steel rain.

They keep saying at least 35 killed.  I bet its much higher.  The shine is off the real live LARP fest in Ukraine.
