Fake Natasha revealed. Hope at least her cat is not red:

Pro-Russia propagandist unmasked as New Jersey tropical fish seller

To her devoted followers, “Donbas Devushka” – or Donbas Girl – is a Russian Jew from the occupied Ukrainian city of Luhansk, who has faithfully broadcast Kremlin propaganda for months.

So she got fired by the navy but as revenge she got hired by Putin's desinformation crew?
I hope she did something in this direction while still in the navy so they could prosecute her according to military laws.

Got to love the competence of the Russian political propaganda machine. Putin apparently visited Kherson. Dmitry "Baghdad Bob" Peskov says this visit happened on 17 April but, in the video, Putin is clearly heard stating that the Easter holiday is coming up...but then the video was edited and those words were removed. Russian Orthodox Easter was on 16 April.

You really cannot trust a single word that comes out of Moscow's mouthpieces.

Ukraine war: Putin visits occupied Kherson region in Ukraine

It is the Russian leader's first visit to occupied areas since he travelled to Mariupol in March.

I just saw on France24 (the news crawl) that President Zelenskyy had visited Avdiivka today.
I doubt he used a body double or elevator shoes.
That guy has balls.

You've seen him play the piano, haven't you?

I thought you used fingers to play the piano ?

You're right. You thought you used fingers to play the piano.

Seem to be easy and cheap to destroy/damage.

Problem is they look cheap and easy to produce. Not too hard to hide either.

In 1995 the Italian Army received 120 German Leopard 1A5 turrets and mounted on Italian made Leopard 1A2. In 2008 the last Italian Leopard 1A5 were retired and stored.

Now some Italian Leopard 1A5 are being refurbished. Seems they may go somewhere soon.

Optics and surveillance systems are not cheap. They may seem form the distance, but are actually complex systems.
Obviously not expensive as a tank, but still orders of magnitude more expensive than the drone.

Wagner is 'desperate for manpower' and trying to poach regular Russian soldiers while feuding with their commanders, experts say

The Wagner mercenary group, which has feuded with Russia's military and seen its recruitment channels dry up, appears to be trying a new tactic.

But ... Why would a captured T-90 be sitting unattended on a civilian trailer in a public rest-stop in the US?

Years ago, there was much concern when a truck carrying a new F-22 fuselage section disappeared. It was found parked at a bar where the driver had gone on an alcoholic bender.
