Someone asked me how come Ukraine intelligence on the ground seems to be way better in comparison to Russia’s.

That’s simple, NATO has been supplying Ukraine with second by second secure satellite ground images. They can accurately establish what Russian ground forces positions and movements.

In comparison, Russian satellite imagery is being blocked and/or delayed. I won’t explain how that is done but it’s a reason NATO, if need be has the upper hand in a Nuckear pissing contest where timings are crucial. Basically, if you don’t know your enemy has launched Nukes until 30 seconds after the fact then your counter measures are meaningless and your seriously fcuked.

When the US launched their Prompt Global Strike programme with the objective of striking anywhere in the world within one hour, Russia responded by developing its Satan II missile, and beat the US to it!

I guess that’s why Israel is so good at development too, they don’t reveal anything until its already in service etc. keeping things like this secret must be near impossible.

Pundits on Sky News sitting around a table talking about how the war's going as if it's halftime in a football match. :lol:

Russian Arsehole to the UK, Andrei Kelin, justifies the bombing of Ukrainian energy facilities on the fact that they're reconstructable. :roll:

He also says categorically that Russia will not use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

Putin been warned by China not too as they believe the USA will obliterate the east of Russia where most of their land based nukes are located. That would spill over into the China region.

For all its postering, China is only thought to have around 226 nukes, which in comparison to the USA and Russia is peanuts.

I’m wondering if it’s time to take my Russian flag down… the majority of people who put up the Ukraine flag have taken theirs down in my area. I’m torn, do I keep it up because
I lasted longer than them or do I take it down because the attention is gone?

Russia to remove all troops from Kherson.

They won’t need to worry about 1,200 who already went missing. Thought to have laid there weapons down and done a runner.

Iran has got their hands on a consignment of anti-tank and anti-aircraft UK weapons destined for Ukraine. No doubt they will begin reverse engineering.

I was trading at the time and only half listening but I heard western intelligence detected a Russian aircraft landing in Iran with hundreds of millions of Euros (don't ask me how they know what was on it). It's believed it was to pay for Iranian drones and weapons. They also believe British weapons that they intercepted were on board. I'm guessing they may have captured them on the battlefield in Ukraine.

I been out of the Armed Forces for awhile now but I would have thought there is software running on those weapons (Once activated) which would be using a very high level of encryption. ie. 256 or such. I know the StarStreak anti aircraft missile uses a number of software algorithm's to avoid/ignore jamming and flares dropped by an aircraft, once locked on it wont leave the target alone.
