They were used in the attack on the Black Sea Fleet HQ in Sevastopol. Not sure about the bridge, wasn't that a truck bomb? Anyway, yeah hypocrisy from Putin as he claimed Crimea was Russian territory.
Always found it a bit strange that all weapons donations are widely trailed and announced beforehand, allowing Putin to threaten retaliation and red lines. Is it because we have a 24hour news culture that demands we know everything before it happens ? Surely one of the key aspects of military...
Was the C&C bunker for the Kursk region. Likely holding hundreds of staff officers including Senior NK officers according to Forbes, so a very high profile and prized target. Wonder how many Storm Shadows they now have left. Each SU 24 only takes 2, so a big commitment of the Ukrainian Air Force...
Too little too late as usual. So much death and destruction of Ukrainian civilians/soldiers and buildings could have been avoided if we had supplied them with everything we had from the off. I've stated numerous times on here, they are holding the line for the whole of Western Europe. They are...
Realistically for Ukraine, that's probably the best they can hope for. Get their Black Sea ports back, and then move towards NATO and EU membership, but yes I agree, Russia won't go for that
Hindsight obviously but was thinking this morning about last years unsuccessful ukrainian counteroffensive in the South. All these Western tanks and IFV's rolling into minefields and deep defensive positions and getting nowhere. Then look at how easily they burst through the lightly defended...
Read something the other day about Russian soldiers looting houses of civilians who had been ordered to evacuate in the face of Ukrainian advances in Kursk. Civilians said there were no Ukrainians in the area, only Russian soldiers. Stealing from your own, what a morale booster for the civilian...
Strange isn't it. We've entered an era of "professional" politicians. MP's used to be largely those who had had other careers so there was a broad spread of expertise in different fields. Nowadays, so many seem to go along the route of Uni, then Spad or PR (Bullshitting) then MP, with no...
All forced out by Johnson. One Nation Tories are few on the ground now, and the remaining members far to the right of them these days, so no chance of any of them becoming leader. The more to the right they tack, their chances of recruiting more moderate members vanishes. Would be on their way...
This is the queue at Lewes to get up the stairs to even get near the platform. Last train was 4 car, hardly anyone got on. Next is only 3, so same again. Shambles
Budget thread has nothing to do with the budget so, as a small business owner in the hospitality industry the 6% rise in minimum wage and increased NI for businesses is shit. What happened to the burden falling on those with the broadest shoulders. Most small businesses don't make huge profits...
Weve thrown 2 points away totally unavoidably, why shouldn't we be angry ? This is a fans forum. Anyone who went today will be fuming, and justifiably so.
