Any Russian officer who does this should be congratulated, preferably posthumously.

Back when Pontius was a pilot, outbriefs during exercises included a check to ensure the aircrew flight suits were completely sanitized. No name badges, no unit badges, no wallet, no photos of loved ones, no ticket stubs...just a blank flight suit with rank badges and carrying the military ID card. Nothing else.
Having gone through that rigmarole more times than I care to remember during the Cold War, I shudder at the OPSEC implications of the current generation of military personnel wanting to take their phone with them on operations. Aside from the obvious opportunity to target the phone's emissions, the device can provide all sorts of opportunities for propaganda and info ops because all of the person's contacts can be accessed and reached via social media and other means.
Any officer who lets his/her subordinates take their cell phone into a combat zone should be drummed out of the service for incompetence (just my most humble of opinions).
Former Russian official returns piece of shrapnel to Emmanuel Macron after being injured in shelling in Ukraine
Dmitry Rogozin, an outspoken former deputy prime minister, was injured last month by shelling in Donetsk, a Russian-held city in eastern Ukraine.www.abc.net.au
It is a pity that that shrapnel did not travel that few extra mm to make him a paraplegic - then he would know how many Ukrainians feel as a result of Putins attack
He has not understood he was making a good advertisement for the Caesar.
Maybe the next time will be the good one.
Ukraine certainly has something up their sleeve and as has been mentioned before, they keep their cards close to their chest.
The Bradley is a huge step up and coincidently, was designed to operate alongside the Abrams in a compoaite battle group.
So we'll have to wait and see what's going on.
Not a surprise. In Iraq we were finding all sorts of stuff on the embargoed list, and the lot numbers proved they were not produced before the sanctions.
I was disappointed that Canada's LAV3 donation to Ukraine was of the unarmed field ambulance variant. Hopefully these new IFVs are fully armed.
Call it karma, call it divine retribution, but I suspect that asshole won't be long for this world.Intercepted call from occupier to his wife: "Therell be no Ukrainians soon"
Ukraine's Defence Intelligence has published an intercepted phone call between a Russian occupier and his wife. Source: Press service of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Quote: "Babe, these are just Khokhols [a derogatory Russian term for Ukrainians - ed.www.yahoo.com
This certainly lines up with the narrative that Russians are murdering, unthinking, orc-like monsters. But we should remember that Ukraine's government, military and intelligence services also have a propaganda or persuading function - they need to keep and expedite the weapons supply. All I ask is that we always be questioning why either side is telling us something.Intercepted call from occupier to his wife: "Therell be no Ukrainians soon"
