"......panically hiding......"???

It might be just metaphor - of course such strong fighters were hiding outstanding bravely.

Cryrillic is not always easy to translate to English.

In Bulgarian, panicheski se kriyat (панически се крият) means "they hide in panic" but panicheski (панически) literally means "panicky".

Now add some anti-ship missiles and you're all set. Bucha is a member of the Gyurza-M class of 54 ton, 24 knot gun boats.

I really enjoy the fact that since Ukraine wiped the floor with Russia's ass last summer, this pending "Spring Offensive" has got to be one of the greatest suspense thrillers of all time.

The media lead-up, the sporadic pushes against Russian positions and the severe bleeding at Bakhmut all the while keeping Russia jumping at the slightest snap of a twig, is the stuff of legend.

I was thinking Ukraine might be waiting for GLSDB to arrive. Earliest for that would be mid June? Let's face it, Ukraine does keep everyone guessing.

It could be an air defence platform as well. Riverbeds are preferred routes for cruise missiles and for long-range UAVs.

Putin always instructs Medvedev and his other allies to make the most cretinous statements instead do it himself. Thus, he invariably tries to look the most adequate against of all his other idiots:

Medvedev says war in Ukraine will last for decades and threatens nuclear strike again

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia's Security Council, has stated that the "military conflict" in Ukraine will last "for a very long time" and once again threatened a "preemptive nuclear strike" - now apparently because of the supply of nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

Medvedev replaced this guy: Vladimir Zhirinovsky - Wikipedia
I still remember how Zhirinovsky urged for placing nuclear waste deposits on the Estonian border with giant fans that would blow the air into Estonian territory. It was about 30 years ago.

I'd say they're about ready to roll. The footage of the Leopard 2s is impressive. This time German tanks will find success in the region.

Any reliable word on Zaluzhnyi's health?

I may have overstepped, as 54 tons is likely too small for mounting fixed anti ship missiles. Even the very small Russian Osa-class missile boats are over 200 tons. I suppose the best the Gyurza-M-class gunboats can get is anti air MANPADS.

It is psychological warfare performed with artistry.

The Katran-M weapon system aboard their gunboats is multi-platform and includes anti-air and anti-shipping capabilities.
