Last paragraph of an article of the German "Zeit". (translated with google) https://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2022-04/waffenlieferungen-ukraine-christine-lambrecht-bundesregierung

It's discussed on twitter, too. Some arguments are where the blood is coming from, used language/dialect, boots, how the video was spread, effect of a rifle projectile.

Translation from the source: Heroes of the Airborne Forces and the Army of Russia!!!Participants of the special military operation were awarded state medals. awardsDeputy Minister of Defense of the Russian FederationColonel-General Alexander Fomin in the branch of the 3rd Central Military Clinical Hospital named after A.A. Vishnevsky of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation presented state awards to wounded Russian servicemen who distinguished themselves during a special military operation. Nine Orders of Courage were awarded.At the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after N. N. Burdenko, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, awarded eight servicemen of the department - two medals "For Courage" and six orders of "Courage". --------- Strange russian PR work. Showing some unhappy young men, missing arms and legs. I wouldn't feel motivated.

Maybe a stupid question, but can Russia produce these cruise missiles independently or are they restricted to what's in stock?

Twitter is flooded with posts of an supposedly iranian rocket attack with six Iranian "Fateh-110" tactical short-range ballistic missiles on US targets in iraq (erbil). Do you think this is connected to the current situation in Ukraine? Strangely no US news website is covering the topic. I hope I'm not spreading fake news.

Couldn't find another source or confirmation yet.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10598315/Ukraine-war-Putin-fires-eight-generals-rages-FSB-battlefield-failures.html Eight Russian generals sacked over Ukraine invasion failings, Kyiv said today Putin also said to be furious at secret services for misleading him over resistance

Did anyone see this? I couldn't find more information / a reliable source. It is discussed if Putin could suffer from parkinson disease and that the medication could impact behaviour. But as I said, I found no other source or the video in better quality.

Germany indeed is a special case. I suspect even if the funds were increased tenfold Germany would still not have a properly equipped and maintained army. I understood that this was one of the main points of criticism about raising the spendings. Just buying more stuff won't change the errors in the current system.

What sense would it make to fake this picture? There are videos of this scene: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-2630677/Video-Devastation-bridge-collapses-Irpin-Putin-maniac.html Btw it took me 2 minutes to find the first videos.

I remember reading in January about "Strelas". Basically saying that they are supposed to be disposed of but that the responsible facilities don't have the capabilities to do so. "In the warehouse in Wermutshausen, Baden-Württemberg, for example, there were around 2,500 "Strela" missiles, which were stored in wooden boxes and "oxidized/corroded, with some mold forming, which could damage the ammunition warehouses and affect the staff." The disposal had come to a standstill, even inquiries could not have resulted in "an acceleration of the disposal process"." https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bundeswehr-weitere-raketen-sondern-hochexplosiven-stoff-ab-a-f308334f-0283-4ea6-80cf-b69b73ed3efb I hope there are "good" ones too and that these are send to Ukraine.

This is so wrong and sad. Hopefully as many civilians as possible can be evacuated until this nightmare has an end.

Anonymous reported that an affiliated hacker group did achieve this. https://twitter.com/YourAnonTV/status/1498792639877074945?s=20&t=X8dwZ4cA1A9TxIIrUaAsZA

Do we know if Ukraine did receive loitering munition? Wouldn't these systems significantly boost their defense capabilities? ("cheap", can be operated from a safe location, small radar-signature, ...)

Google translate: Due to the successful actions of one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers are losing not only equipment and manpower. In a panic, they leave secret documents. Thus, we have at our disposal the planning documents of one of the units of the battalion tactical group of the 810th separate brigade of marines of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. Among the received documents are a work card, combat mission, call sign table, control signal tables, hidden control tables, personnel list, etc. Based on the information received, it is known that the planning documents for the war with Ukraine were approved on January 18, 22, and the operation to capture Ukraine itself must take place within 15 days, namely from 20.02. till 06.03. The enemy unit was to disembark from the Orsk VDK in the area of the Stepanovka-1 settlement and further act with the military units of the 58th Army of the Russian Federation, namely with the 177th Separate Regiment of Marines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The ultimate goal of these forces was to blockade and take control of Melitopol. So, when once again one of the prisoners says that he came to study and got lost - do not believe it! They knew, they carefully planned and prepared. And we will say one thing to the Russian occupiers: leave your equipment and secret documents in the future, we will need them, the first for our defenders, and the second for The Hague.

Are you sure that you are allowed to use the illustration for this purpose? Have you obtained permission? The illustration belongs to an artist and in this case a company has paid for it as box art (Flames of War). If it is commissioned artwork even worse ... And sorry but the cropping/masking really sucks. If I was Battlefront I would permit raping my CI/artwork like this.

You don't have to buy it. Battlefront is offering a product for a certain price and you can decide if it is worth it. No harm done. And as they stated before there will be some kind of discount for ppl already owning Shock Force. I'm looking forward to the engine update.

Who is Steve? Is he listed on the staff page? http://community.battlefront.com/staff/ Thanks for your reply.

Hi, I can no longer access battlefront.com . I've been using it for years without any problems. I tested different computers, browsers, turned off every av and firewall component. Is the IP my ISP provided blocked (I checked blacklists, only 1 from xx has an entry at all)? The browser shows: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. As I can't access the website, I can't open the helpdesk sub-page ... Can someone help? Is there an email address I can use? I wrote a message to the user "Battlefront.com" but the message is not read. Regards Markus

I play real time. I'll wait some more minutes and give you some feedback then. They haven't fired a single shot. Smoke grenades are in stock, too. But "target smoke" isn't available neither. The tanks just entered the battlefield (reinforcements). What I forgot to say, only the Sherman model (76W) in the screenshot is affected by this behavior. All other Sherman tanks look normal. It's the 2nd mission in the US campaign.

Hello, just a quick question. What's the reason for grayed out machine guns / target light button? Target smoke isn't possible, too. I can't remember having seen this before. The crew is complete and healthy. The weapon status is green. Ammunition is available.

I'm having a similar problem. Mission: First Contact (Russian campaign) The briefing warns, that Americans use an electronic warfare attack. Is this why precision rounds do not work? The forward observer team is fit and healthy, has laser equipment and a clear los. 2S19M2 has 9 Krasnopol rounds. When I try to call in an artillery strike, the precision option is missing.

I can see the problem terrain, too. Specs: Windows 7 64-bit Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 16 GB RAM Intel i5-4670 CMBS V1.01

For sure you are the quote king. You really know how to use this function perfectly. I won't argue with an expert like you.
