Which brings up, which videos are valid.

If you can't verify it through the MSM assume it's a fake.

Or at least do your own sniff test, as it took me all of 2 mins to search for and identify the S special ed helicopter vid as fake.

Now, you gotta' know this is coming.
What's the MSM? If I knew that, I would have checked that.

Mainstream Media. Before they post combat vids they try to verify the truth.



Often times they call out the fakes.

Misleading videos and images continue to appear on social media following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

That list probably only just scratches the surface. But yes , that's what I'm looking for.
Glad Binkov's Battlegrounds isn't on the list.

Yeah, I can think of a number of others that should be on the first list but it makes a good starting point.

Any thoughts on US Defense Report? It has a robot voice and I always imagine it's really a kid living in his folk's basement

Do you have a link so I can look into it?

Maybe occupying Chernobyl was not a good idea

Russia has returned the radioactive site to Ukraine after reports claim Russian soldiers were suffering radiation sickness

I read in another article at least one soldier has died of radiation poisoning.

That's pretty much what I do. I try to go with the "Biggies". DW, BBC, CBC, MSNBC, ABC etc. If the host is obviously one sided, buh-bye.

The Lada remains a popular car among the enthusiast crowd and the type does come with its own deployable "hole-in-the-ozone-layer" so that ship has sailed...

I remember the ad on TV in the 1970's: "How do you like your Lada? I like it just fine!"

That IS the purpose of sharing. Those with the ability can do the verification. Once again you attack the messenger in stead of the message. After all, that's what recon is about, seeing thru the camo.

No attack on the messenger intended. Sharing can be in error, but I do denounce those who create this fakery as purveyors of clickbait and propaganda.

Really hope these crimes get investigated and that the perpetrators can be brought to justice:

Do you think a tractor can tow the An to Kermit Weeks?

An interesting analysis and some good current sit maps.

Sounds like a Lada crap.

And no love for the Volga or Trabant, it seems...

 

[SaparotRob]

Do you remember Car & Driver magazine's "Save the Trabant" issue? I think they ran a gag Brabant ad in an April issue too.

If you ever get a chance to visit Bulgaria, particularly on the east coast, I highly recommend the Retro Museum in Varna.

It has perhaps, one of the largest collections of vintage Eastern European autos & vehicles found anywhere.

Retro Museum

In 2015, on the Labour Day - May 1, in Varna opens doors officially an unique for Bulgaria "Retro Museum". The museum includes exhibits from the period 1944-1989, which are telling in artifacts how Bulgarians lived under socialism. Bulgarian cigarettes without filter, Russian...

My thought too. No flares, using only darkness and low altitude for defense. What concerned me. was the near misses/early detonations just behind the tails. Was that a problem with the missile or was there some sort of defense used to cause the early explosion? It appears a rapid second shot defeated any such defensive deployment

Most manpads and SAMS are not impact detonated. They are proximity weapons that explode before contact and spread shrapnel out that damages the aircraft.
