How this guys gets to keep talking, IDK. Here's Khodaryonok slamming Russia's inability to mobilize quickly and its poor equipment, along with praising NATO's kit.
Maybe someone in the hierarchy recognizes the wisdom of keeping a thorn in the side around to keep them on their toes and give them a perspective from beyond their information silo. "Inconvenient Truths" Department.

Maybe. If he can speak English, when this is over and Putin is gone, Khodaryonok will be a welcome commentator on Western media and speaker at NATO military academies.
 
Once again about that attack on Novofedorivka (Saki) airbase. The plot thickens...
Good on the US and Romania for finding a way to get ATACMS to Ukraine.

Or was it something else?


I can't wait to see the first Abrams or Leo2 MBTs and the first F-16s in Ukrainian colours. What about the BAE BvS 10 'Viking' for traversing the coming autumn mud?

I wholly agree with General Rick Hillier (retired), Canada's Chief of the Defense Staff from 2005 to 2008. We have Leo2 tanks that could easily be donated.


"Canada and our government and our nation should take a whole bunch of our fighting vehicles from the army, 200, 250 of those LAV threes or LAV sixes, that we have excellent fighting vehicles. Combine that with, say, 50 of our Leopard two main battle tanks, among the best battle tanks in the world, with reconnaissance vehicles and engineer vehicles, put together a spare parts package and an ammunition package and give that to Ukraine so they can actually start to build a large reserve counter attack force. And then at the same time. What I would suggest we would do is challenge General Dynamics Land Systems, that center of vehicle manufacturing excellence for fighting vehicles. Challenge them to replace those vehicles within the next one to two years with even better vehicles. And so improve the Canadian forces while we're helping Ukraine in a very real way."
 
What I found interesting is that
a) no one interrupted him
b) They were all nodding their heads in agreement
 
Ok...I find this interesting. Photographs were taken at Darya Dugina's funeral. Her body seems remarkably undamaged for someone killed by a fiery car bomb:



And, just for the record, here's an image of the burning wreck of her Toyota Landcruiser:




Now...I've seen some freaky situations where people emerged relatively unscathed from horrific accidents. However, this one just seems a couple of stretches too far. The only explanation I can come up with is that the explosion threw Darya from the car...but I'd still expect facial damage (unless Russian undertakers are way, WAY better than those in other countries).
