Did Russia consider using its SSNs to attack cargo ships bringing arms to Ukraine?
Ukraine updates: Russia threatens to attack western arms shipments
Action would risk direct conflict with NATOnationalpost.com
Just imagine a Russian nuclear attack sub torpedoes and sinks a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship in international waters purported to be carrying equipment for Ukraine via Poland. Or, perhaps a Russian warship intercepts and boards the cargo ship in the Atlantic.
I don't think they even have the concept. The Mil 8 helicopter has the left engine gauges on the right hand side, and vice-versa.I guess the word "ergonomics" does not translate to Russian?
Thanks, good to know. I found him over on Telegram too: NOELREPORTSAnother Twitter guy who opened a Mastodon alternative NOELREPORTS(@noelreports@mstdn.social)
Ok...this is really weird. Lukashenko says Prigozhin is in St.Petersburg, not in Belarus...meanwhile, the Kremlin says it's not tracking Prigozhin's movements (yeah...right!).
Wagner boss Prigozhin is in Russia, Belarus ruler Lukashenko says
Alexander Lukashenko says Prigozhin, who led a short-lived mutiny in Russia, is in St Petersburg.www.bbc.com
Coming soon to a news stream near you,."Prigozhin dies in mystery fall from window"....perhaps?
The question I have, is if/when Prigozhin is "silenced", what will be the reaction from Wagner.
Will they just accept his demise or will they react with violence?
Either way, I seriously doubt Russia will want them around, as they've already proven to be dangerous to Putler's Reich.
If there's any tank that will need ERA it's the Leopard 1s. The Leo1 was made in an era where it was assumed no armour was capable of stopping anti-tank rounds so the emphasis was instead on mobility and firepower. I wouldn't put the even the frontal armour of a Leo1 up against a BMP-3's 100mm gun, and the Russian 30mm autocannon on the earlier BMPs and BTRs should slice through the Leo1's side armour.Here are the first-ever Leopard 2A4 tanks with a factory-fitted ERA
The German Leopard 2A4 tank finally got a full-time set of ERA This happened in Greece. The Greek Army remains one of the largest operators of Leopard 2A4 tanksbulgarianmilitary.com
Maybe parts of him are in St. Pete, like his headOk...this is really weird. Lukashenko says Prigozhin is in St.Petersburg, not in Belarus.,,,
Good point. For Afghanistan Canada added increased armour plate to the bottom to protect the crew in case of IEDs and mines. Apparently our guys survived this hit, for example.In a Leo 1 I'd be more worried about mines
Yuan, rupees, rials, piastres, colored stones, glass beads, shells... anything, even money to play Monopoly, now Putin will receive everything except real money. And all this, of course, strictly according to plan.I just watched a YT video by Joe Blogs. He's an economist. He just did another video on the Rouble v other currencies. I skip to the summary. My take away from his video is Russia has been strengthening the Yuan and Rupiah. The Rouble, not so much.
