Interesting update on where the Russians moved from Kherson may be used.

So with multiple handguns and five shots, he finally hit his temple.

With that kind of marksmanship at that short of a range, it doesn't look good for the rest of the Russian Army...

Reminds me of a "suicide" in Aus some 20 years back.

Woman was shot in both hands yet was still able to grab the rifle and shoot herself in the head.

Coincidentally, the estranged husband was a policeman and the suicide determination was made by his mates. Tame, or terrified, coroner agreed.

There is no police corruption in Aus.

Speaking of suicidally stupid, any news on that Russian MoD spokesman who said "don't rock the boat and mention the Iranian drones" on a live microphone?

 

[GrauGeist]

It seems to me, that top Russian officials have a better chance at surviving on the front lines in Ukraine...

One would want somebody to actually succeed. von Stauffenberg didn't.

It was close...at least he tried.

What's the payload capacity of an Iranian drone.....or unladen swallow

The Whitehouse stated several times, that the use of any form of nuke or chemical weapons in Ukraine will be a "serious mistake" and that Russia will "suffer serious consequences" as a result.

What that may entail, I'm not sure, but that is extremely strong language and the first time the Whitehouse has made statements of that nature since all this began back in February.

Biden will eat five Tacobell tacos,three bowls of hot chili,and four burritos. He'll then send a fart to Putin.

At6, I really like most of your posts....but this is unnecessarily political. You're expressing your view of the President when, in reality, we don't know how he'll respond.

Also note that if nukes or chemical weapons start being thrown around, it will involve NATO discussions...so other US Allies will get a say in how the Alliance should respond in a unified manner.

Please let's not start another political bonfire. We've collectively done a good job striking the right balance so far on this thread.

I wasn't trying to political, just a little humorous about the possible response.

I never expected Canadian Rotax engines to be used in drones attacking Ukraine. Shame on Bombardier for selling engines to Iran until 2019, what did they think the Iranians were doing with them, building desert sleds?

Canadian company ‘deeply concerned’ that Iran may be using its engines in war drones

Bombardier Recreational Products stopped sales to Iran in 2019, and says a string of thefts of the engines is one possible explanation

I think he was also trying thusly.

Could Iran be manufacturing Rotax engines without a license? I'm sure the Chinese would help.

The AFU has some good kit here. Any Russian seeing this footage has to think their (or their son's) days are numbers until they exit Ukraine.

China is producing unlicensed copies - there is a marketplace link posted upthread a few weeks back.
