In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
This craft was found on the Crimean shores about a month ago, it has been tought it is a unmanned surface vehicle produced by Ukraine.
Equiped with a Starlink antenna at the back, camera at the middle and what might be a laser rangefinder in front of it. The two things sticking out at the front are believed to be triggers for the explosives it is carrying.
It was probably more crafts like this one that was used in the attack today.
Just last week Germany delivered two naval drones. Type unknown, but probably something different then the one posted above.
Thread. Further to the above
Three months ago: Putin is waiting for "peace" in exchange for a grain deal and an agreement to freeze his control over the newly occupied territories, as soon as he realizes that this does not work, he will ruin the grain deal. How to look into the water
First or 2nd highest RU KIA number since we started getting these reports March (day of the sinking of the Moskova might be first). New recruits really are just being sent into a meat grinder. +52 APCs is also a huge number.
950
Of course there are questions about the accuracy of it but it is a massive jump from a typical ~400.Am I missing something? What was funny about that?
Think people shouldn't share videos such as this because more views will only increase the amount of idiots that watch this shit.
"Nobody is interested in what you're saying"
Jesus, surely even the most brainwashed people can't buy into that stuff anymore.Looks like it's 950 in the week rather than in a day no? Just going by the dates in the graphic. Still a disgusting number of course.
No, it's daily. Dates in the graphic are February 24th - October 30th.
Agreed and agreed. Also comments section made me literally sick. Disgusting.
Oh wow, even if they're half correct then those numbers are appalling for the Russians. Even if they mobilise 300,000 more cannon fodder then they wouldn't even last a year...
Their routine daily failed (so far) assaults on Bakhmut for about a month has probably added decent amount of numbers to these tolls as well.
950
They're making a mighty push for Bakhmut, using untrained soldiers with terrible weapons. I imagine that's what's causing most of the deaths.
The way that went (Wagner recruiting prison inmates and then forcing them to attack a well defended city) might give cynical people like me the impression that Russia just wanted a cheap way to empty their prisons and sentencing criminals to death.
Well planned and orderly retreat.
Ukrainian air force which should have ceased to exist in February is still very much alive.
If no one was crushed by that vehicle rolling, with all those people on top, it's very lucky.
Saw the full vid on youtube, last thing said was "Where's the leg?"
The Russians appear to have recently attempted to launch offensives in the east, and the high number of casualties (if true and higher than usual) are most likely the result of those efforts.
That’s not the first time during this war that I’ve seen footage of Russians driving their vehicles off the side of a perfectly straight road. Wild
I wonder if the driver saw a mine or the weight of 20 soldiers on top unbalanced it
Predictably seems like we have another massive missile attack all over Ukraine.
I love 'West is finished' part too."Nobody is interested in what you're saying"
I think it's more likely that the driver just couldn't see anything because too many people were sitting on the vehicle.
Something to keep an eye on.
Certainly something to keep an eye on. Russia can always play the "we never did and will never do harm civilians and since we are the good guys here, we let you pass" but it would make them look weak at the same time, which I am sure is the last thing Putin wants. Interesting how this will pan out.
What are they going to do about it, attack NATO-member ships?
Spoiler alert: nothing.
80% Kiev without access to water after the latest missile attack, how long are we gonna just observe the genocide from the outside?
Completely agree it’s hard to watch and feels like we need to act
but what Russia has shown us is that it would be no match for NATO’s forces and weapons. As the attacks are coming from within Russia, it would most likely end up starting wwiii as we’d need to attack Russian territory - which given what I just said re not a match for contemporary weapons, would most likely end in nuclear. It is not an option at the moment
Nato jets can easily shot down any incoming missiles without striking Russia.
What is your suggestion?
So WW3 then.
Shooting down missiles wouldn't trigger anything. Shooting down planes is a totally different ballgame
