Uncle Klaus doesn't care which side wins, he just wants massive world depopulation, and a wrecked global economy to set the stage for his Great Reset.

Armenia-Azerbaijan should have been a better lesson to the Russians.

Turkish drones (mini predators) provided to the Azeris turned Russian-built Armenian armor into death traps, even when they were camouflaged and dug in.

And the Azeris did not also have thousands of modern ATGMs and MANPADs.

“The rations were probably captured from the Germans in Stalingrad and put in storage.”

LOL. That’s entirely possible.

Where is Steve1989 when you need him? He did recently review a modern Ukrainian Armed Forces 24 ration. It looked pretty good even if it did weigh 5 pounds.

It is. In part because it has flooded the zone with combat videos. That became a thing in 1991 during Desert Storm, but with cell phone video plus drone video its become a powerful tool. Everyone was doing it in Syria. The Ukrainians are doing the best job ever. The Russians, for whatever reason, cant keep up.

From the POV of an external observer, we are getting the best views of ongoing military operations that have ever been granted the viewing public. Filtered for a given side of course, but that is because the other side is AWOL.

I don’t think the mobile crematorium story has been confirmed.

They are a thing. I don’t know if the Russians have them near the lines or not, but they exist.

The are about the size of a UPS van, they are fueled with gas, which follows in another trailer/vehicle.

China used them in Wuhan.

The purpose is to incinerate medical waste and farm animals. Of course, you could stick bodies in them—but it’s not that efficient for large counts.

“This theater is brutal for Russian armor when we are passing out ATGMs and MANPADs like candy bars.”

The Russians can’t move covertly. Between US and UE sat info and every Ukrainian citizen acting as a spotter, there is no place to hide or move srcretly. This isn’t some 3rd world bleephole country where phones are scarce. All that armor are just big, fat targets, waiting to get whacked.

There is no telling. You can’t trust anything the media says. They are being paid to report what they are told to. It’s obvious they have been here in the USA for a long time. Couple that with the social media and they can make the common people believe anything. I do think that Putin may have thought he could roll in and they would give a minimal fight and give up. If he starts losing to many people he may just sit back and start dropping bombs and flatten everything. Do you all think he wants to leave things as in tact as possible or did he take them lightly and people running it on the ground are morons.

See 29. There are plenty of mobile crematoria in Ukraine, they are called Russian tanks and APCs killed by missile strikes from drones and ATGMs.

Scroll down this Twitter feed to see plenty of “mobile crematoria.” The burnt skeletons are still in them.

I could post a dozen more from today, but what’s the point?

And not to mention the working-order armor and trucks stuck in mud and abandoned, or just abandoned, period, now being driven by Ukes.

Not great for Russian morale, seeing the burning vehicles.

Oh, I thought the question was about real, mobile incinerators.

I guess I was confused.

Our E2Cs and AWACs patrolling the borders of Ukraine have the ability today to not only see planes, jets and helos in the air, but vehicles on the ground. This information is being sent to the Ukes in real time, for finding Russian targets with their Turkish mini-predators. It’s pretty seamless.

Satellite information is more detailed, but depends on sat coverage (passes). The AWACs and E2C information is 24/7 and real time. Between them there is nowhere the Russian armor can hide.

That mobile crematoria story was debunked early, the video was literally lifted from an over 10 year old Russian industrial ad and re-narrated for a 2022 Ukraine invasion spin.

Still, like St. George Ferguson etc, it won’t die. “Print the legend,” etc. Especially now with American social media literally regulating the propaganda.

Google Ministry of Information Announces Zero Tolerance Policy Against Any Information That Does Not Support NATO War Against Russia

March 11, 2022 | sundance | 305 Comments

Comrade citizens, after success with the Ministry of Information controlling efforts surrounding the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and public health vaccinations, The Division of Correct Thinking has announced they will also not tolerate any information against their war efforts in Ukraine.

All good global citizens will appreciate the Ministry’s effort to protect you from bad Russian influences. Only the approved truth must remain visible to combat any Russian efforts to influence our thinking. The only horrors approved for review must be approved by the compliance division within the Google Ministry of Information.

Comrade citizens, as our experience with COVID and the heroic vaccination program has shown us, the Ministry always looks out for our physical and mental health. The inherent dangers of wrong thoughts could lead to misplaced sympathies, lack of necessary motivation and questions about the altruism within the Ministry for Peace. Further guidance continues….

IF 11,000 have been killed, there would be about 88,000 wounded, which would be about a 45 percent casualty rate, far higher than the rate during the Civil War which was about 23 percent.

4,000 killed, about 32,000 wounded would still be about 18 percent, which is still pretty high. In Vietnam the casualty rate was about 10 percent.

I haven’t seen any evidence that what is going on in Ukraine is anywhere near as horrendous as the Civil War.

There are also a few other surveillance aircraft that can locate targets and destroy them using remote munitions in real-time. This has become a weapons show, like the SHOT Show. Everyone wants to bring their latest toys and try them out.

The weather seems to be on the Russians side of things unfortunately, unless their forecasters are as bad as our local ones are.

When you are moving armor in Europe in the spring then THIS is the topic that is the beginning of each mission brief, believe me.

Sometimes. There are now geostationary capabilities.
