Tom Clancy novel too. Israel lost a nuke I think.

One of my ongoing side projects (aimed, mostly, at the new influx of Steam Players) is to host an 'All in One' for every CM game here.
This is my initial effort for RT & its primary feature is a large collection of weathered vehicle mods (by @kohlenklau, @umlaut  & @Aristoteles ) renamed & tagged so that they now work with F&R. It also features terrain mods by @SeinfeldRules, UI mods by @rocketman, @Marco Bergman & @Volksgrenadier, Infantry mods by @EZ, @Tashtego & @Ithikial_AU, loading screens by @umlaut, building mods by @Kieme(ITA) & @Tanks a Lot as well as the ME effects package, ME soundscape & (subdued & fixed) superpack voices by @ironsturm plus many more others.
I know a lot of people had issues with their old RT mods & the new Fire & Rubble module so hopefully this modpack will be of some interest to them.
Here's a taster of some of what you can expect...
 
 
Here's the modpack link...

Missed opportunity to make millions and millions of blue and gold minions.

He will need to do it in pencil or have lots of space left of the page to add some more.

Starting to think the Ukrainians should start publishing collection points where the Russian conscripts can just get off their army truck/bus/hire car/stolen car that shipped them in and simply walk themselves into captivity.

"Month of training?
Hey, wet-pants! This isn't the Women's Auxiliary Balloon Corps. You're in the Twenty-Minuters Russian Army now." - paraphrase Blackadder IV
Hideous war extending collecting warm bodies for cold trenches that most losing armies persist in well after reason should have kicked in because vain fascists view their ego as more important than their citizens lives.

Maybe they were just standing near the edge of an undersea shelf and accidently fell off.

Can you post your GPS co-ordinates for the beer delivery. Or the HIMARS. Depending how you behave on the international stage.

Just finished reading a story about the exodus the conscription is causing in Russia and was browsing through the comments in the Sydney based news paper to see a steady stream of pro-Ukraine anti-Putin (not Russian) comments from simple to more well informed opinions when I came across this little gem that made me laugh.

Nothing says "esprit de corps" more than a shared determination to wear pants correctly.
 

It will be impossible to tell the Russian supply situation until well after this war is over and maybe not even then but 300000 people is 15-20 divisions. That is a lot of gear lying around that nobody already has dibs on. So considering corruption is a top to bottom national pastime it may not have been possible until now or even now to put that many guys additional guys in the field.
I am hoping this is desperation time on the Russian part putting warm bodies into the contested areas to make it a bloodier prospect short term for Ukrainian victories. Because same training + same equipment + same doctrine versus Ukrainian divisions that have only improved since the war started (ie improving(ed) gear + winning experience without burnout + doctrine that is getting results) is not a recipe for success.

I don't think is reasonable to compare nation building in Afghanistan / Iraq to Ukraine.
In the middle east at every level of society from the bottom to top their was always be going significant resistance or ambivalence due to either self-interest, ignorance or flat out cultural aversion to change. And it doesn't matter how hard you try as soon as you use airpower to a significant degree there is mistakes. The longer troops are on the ground more mistakes. Lots of mistakes over a long period of time slowly but surely adds up to looking like you simply don't care - fail. Cultural change isn't especially fast and to suggest that Iraq / Afghanistan are only 60?! or so years away from organically morphing into modern democracies so lets fight a war and do it in 20 is ludicrous. 
The Ukrainians on the other hand were already clearly starting to walk the walk to be a functioning part of the Western world which is probably not an insignificant reason they were invaded in the first place. I have not even bothered checking Zelensky's Ukrainian popularity but Western leaders trust them enough to give them stupendous amounts of weapons and an indeterminable look at our Intel capabilities. There is a clear and obvious enemy to be beaten. Partisan style warfare after major hostilities seems unlikely unless of course criminal gangs being criminals count as freedom fighters. Ukraine will have their own trouble with corruption and waste when the war finishes but their start point prior to invasion isn't anything remotely like Afghanistan/Iraq.

+1 to the above. Every story I read today apart from the above that contained "nuclear" in the reference to Putin's recent announcements was not really presenting it in accurate context.
