DNR fighters riding a BTR-80 around Mariupol. Clearly IED's aren't a concern.



A Russian Colonel supposedly had both of his legs broken when friendly forces ran over him with a tank? Whut?



A unit with American volunteers allegedly operating in the suburbs of Kyiv during a counterattack.



Drone Footage of Irpin, suburb of Kyiv.



Ukrainian television reportedly showing rocket attacks on a Russian held airport near Kherson in Southern Ukraine.

Murican volunteer who didn't flee back to safety has a twitter account and is posting videos like crazy.









Aside from that there's also rts of the usual fake arma 3 footage and fake news. 50/50 on whether it's genuine or more "Hyperreality" propaganda.
And here we are:



Moping about Tucker Carlson in the middle of a warzone, real natural.

CoachRedpill claims he's lying.

So, he’s either a fake or a useful idiot based on his opinion of Tucker Carlson? That doesn’t seem like the most rational logic to me unless you have further proof.

The translation is he's either lying or I disagree with him. Which is a pretty normal stance to take with people whom you have ideological differences with. Calling him a useful idiot sounds more negative though.



So many acronyms! You know it's evil!

But yeah shocking to think a person with military and military contracting experience would volunteer under contract abroad.

Seems rather well equipped for a run of the mill volunteer

TBF most of the accounts of foreign volunteers was of those who bailed after the first airstrike out sent packing by the Ukrainians for "mediocre" combat performance. They said they were only giving minimal training and a ratty AK and told they'd be shunted to the front to man a trench in Kyiv. And everyone from former Special Forces to nobodies was being treated the same. And that they'd have to sign away their lives in contracts.

But the account we saw from Task and Purpose with that former American tanker was that a lot of the volunteers inflated their combat pedigree, were unreliable in general, poorly trained, and that the contract was meant to provide them protection if they were captured, and it wasn't binding as he was able to quit after a couple weeks. And they were given better kit as we could see from various social media, not just AK's and many have been doing things beyond getting shelled in trenches. We've seen foreign fighters from France allegedly attacking convoys, plethora of alleged Foreign volunteers with all sorts of kit beyond AK's and even foreign volunteers described as snipers or working with Special Forces.

It's almost as if the Ukranians are trying to do a vetting process for volunteers in the midst of a War and we're only getting snapshots of the first part of that process from many of those foreign volunteer accounts.

Reality settling in.



The report UkA counter-attacks in Western Kyiv Front are not successful or achieving much if anything.



Hostomel still under Russian Control, a documentary of its seizure will be released soon demonstrating how it was taken and how the UkA failed to retake it at all.



More footage of Hostomel Airport on Day 1, given the sky, this is further proof, the Airport remained in Russian hands till relieved.



Comrades, sorry for all the mess. Any event here is the Comrade Father/Imam/Rabbi to comfort you and help you move forward.

I mean mercenaries have never been protected under the laws of war, so they are more announcing that they will treat foreign combatants by that.... coincidentally that is also why the US has been able to hold insurgents in gitmo indefinitely
Yeah I don't think people are fully conceiving of just what international norms the US has established in the last 22 years that are going to now be followed by other major powers in their conflicts.

Well, TIL I guess. I thought that mercenaries could sign on with whatever state and count as combatants of that state. It's stateless mercs that would be fucked in that case.

Still on fire as of this posting.

Speaking of, so's that Alligator-class landing sh- oh wait, that's just fires on shore, the ship is already partially sunk:



They mean it folks, save the last bullet for yourself.

I can hear those lunatics that volunteered to man the Line of Contact in Donbas for eight years shaking in their boots.

The report UkA counter-attacks in Western Kyiv Front are not successful or achieving much if anything.

So I've just come by to let everyone know that I've updated my big-ass document with a 72 hour update and I even included pretty arrow maps and extensive links to as much corroborating data as I could find regarding various claimed offensives, ground taken/lost etc. Lots of news, including Maneuver (who is where capturing what), Operational developments, Materiel/Personnel/Logistics and Strategic picture (which you may want to skip to if you don't have a basement.) Also posted to my tumblr if you prefer that formatting. Naturally there is extensive coverage of the counter-offensives in the Kyiv area. The only thing better than one asshole on Twitter is several assholes on Twitter - with pictures! :cool:

More footage of Hostomel Airport on Day 1, given the sky, this is further proof, the Airport remained in Russian hands till relieved.

Y'wanna break this one down for me Chief?

Also, lol
