Somebody has to take the fall. It's like when our CIA director said it was a "slam dunk" that Saddam Hussien had WMD. Except nobody actually took the fall for that.

Near Makarov, Kyiv region. Not sure about the date, probably 3-4 days ago.
No survivors.

Despicable.

I'm not backtracking on anything. I apologized to him in good faith because it was the right thing to do as it was not my intent. Its called a courtesy. I'm not an asshole. Besides, my post was directed to him (not you). Hense, why it was the right thing (and adult thing) to do in the sake of friendship and healthy debate. So why you feel the need to stir the pot when there is no reason is beyond me as it has nothing to do with you.

Nor did I "clearly imply support of the invasion." I simply was stating in a sarcastic manner that we either endure some hardships or we let them get away with it.

Who the hell are you to tell me (or anyone for that matter) what I implied or meant to say? I was not aware you were inside my thoughts.

Now if you have a problem with me then send it to me in a PM, stop distracting from the actual topic of the thread, and stop stirring up shit where there is none, and seriously, please stop making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Sorry, I need to add something further to this, and rather than just edit the post I will quote it here. Especially since it obviously got my blood boiling. And I apologize for letting it upset me.

Apologizing to someone is not backtracking. It's being an adult. There is no need to put fuel to the fire over something that:

A. Does not pertain to you.
B. Was a simple misunderstanding.

Sarcasm can be lost in translation when it is in written form. At no point was anyone being accused of "supporting the invasion." The intent of the post was simply to say that there are sacrifices and hardships we will endure unless we let Putin have his way. The Basket misunderstood the intent of post and the sarcasm that came with it, hence my apology.

So unless you are in someones head, don't tell them what they intended to say A Admiral Beez .

And this is the last I will say on that. Enough thread hijacking BS (from both of us). I suggest we chalk this up to the missunderstanding it is and kindly move on as friends.

Oh, boy the infighting is becoming intense...

When you have state organs raiding each other in the middle of a war you instigated, you're kerfuckled.

Meanwhile the Ukrainians are offering USD 1million for a plane and USD 500k for a helicopter to any pilot who defects (yeah, that's a thing once again I guess...)

So, if I was a "Russian" pilot that "stole" a Polish Mig 29........................

I hope that the Ukrainian shooters were long gone by the time the Russian force responded. It certainly seemed to take the Russians a while to figure out what had happened.

What is the Wagner Group, and is it in Ukraine?

Ukraine’s Defense Ministry has claimed that members of the Wagner Group — Russia’s shadowy private military — are taking up arms in the country, which is entering its third week of fighting Russian forces.

Not sure they escaped. Seems like the 1st undamaged tank we see fired and was hit in the same time, at about 53 seconds in the video.
It took just a few seconds (20?) for the Russians to scatter and fire back.

I'm not sure why the butchering of the video.

How brave of them to engage that soft target personal vehicle. They must be proud of themselves. They shall be named Heroes of Russia.

***Hopefully everyone understands this post.***

Funny + agree = winner

Ambushers gonna bush.

Looks like they didn't ever learn counter ambush drills. Their response guaranteed far more casualties than a disciplined force would have taken.

Is it true? I hope this is verified real. Sad how everything can be "photoshopped".

Should be possible to find if it was in the papers.

I'm wondering if the AT missile was fired remotely. I couldn't see anyone moving away from the firing location, and I wouldn't expect the shooters to hang around.

Ukrainian AT missiles can indeed be fired remotely. I saw video of one instance a few days back where the control center was approx. 6 miles from the site of combat.
