ICTChris Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) The Commanding Officer of the unit whose soldiers were stationed in Bucha when the massacre took place has been killed. I misread the tweet, he has been given a medal, not killed. Edited April 22, 2022 by ICTChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have directly contradicted him, and again no response. Time for a search party? He hardly never replies. It’s almost like he can’t take any scrutiny of his flimsy conspiracy theories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It's been sunny and the pubs are open. A Q&A sesh with remedials doesn't seem very appealing at the moment. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Russia Vox Pops asking questions about Bucha:The 1420 channel quoted above have said the Rosgvardia are patrolling the shops and universitys where they normally do interviews. Students who have previously done interviews are being called into the uni's head office and told not to participate in them anymore.Ah well. This was expected I guess.I did like having the chance to listen to some average Russian city folk talk politics. Hopefully they can keep the channel going but presumably it'll be pretty difficult from now on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Ground work being laid by Russia to accuse UK armed forces being on the ground in Ukraine.... Which, tbf, seems like none of their fucking business, but lets see how it escalates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Reports that two more Russian generals have been killed in Kherson in a strike on a command and control post. Some of the drones and loitering munitions that have been provided or pledged to Ukraine can be particularly effective at attacking command posts. The reports of more dead generals could be hype and could be nothing to do with the new weapons of course. Regarding new weapons, the tanks provided by Slovakia and Czechia are now in use in the Donbas. The US DoD have said that Ukraine now have more tanks in Ukraine than Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the city of Kherson and especially its airport is still in range of conventional artillery and the Ukrainians have mainly used drones for accurate targeting in that context. Don't think it's clear yet how big a target the Phoenix Ghost drones can take out because the drone needs to be relatively small to remain undetected. If it can successfully take out artillery pieces, tanks and train locomotives at night with a 6 hour loitering time the Russians will have a major problem but that remains to be see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Do the more informed folks in this thread think the rearming of the Ukrainian army with fresh supply of tanks etc is for the Ukrainians to mount a counter attack on their lost territory or is it to defend from the Russians expanding out? obviously the clear agenda from the western nations is to give the Russians a bloody nose without direct involvement but I’m wondering what the Ukrainian plan is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Had an interesting chat with a guy last night. His company makes plastic products using injection moulding - mainly for cars. Things like the windscreen washer filling tubes, that kind of thing. Anyway, they were approached by someone from the government a couple of months ago and asked if they could make a thing that looks like a plastic tampon applicator tube at short notice. It took them a few days to design and make the tooling but they managed it so they got an initial order for half a million of the things. Turns out they're for battlefield wounds. The plastic tube is ready-filled with coagulants so all the medic has to do is push it into a bullet hole and push the coagulants right into the wound, sealing it and stopping the bleeding. They were immediately shipped to Ukraine. From what he said I gather this is one of Matt Hancock's mates that's circumvented the usual government purchasing procedures to do something quickly - bypassing the usual pharmaceutical companies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
