In some scences you can see soldiers with AK-47 rifles or IS-3 tanks on background, but in whole this is good series for all age, though the original book of Yanush Pshimanovski was written mostly for teenagers. The film is enough close to the book Das Boot also great movie, I didn't know that inintially it was mini-series too.

I repeat this video as embedded - reportedly this is Pantsyr S1 was destroyed

Ah, this rock arrangement of the "Four tankers and the dog" movie theme - my favorite movie in childhood

Pure suicide. Russians are patrolling western coast of Crimea. Better variant would be to move Neptune/Harpoon launchers to Ochakiv area, but: 1) it's too risky, 2) missiles will be anyway almost on the limit of own range, 3) Sevastopol and Crimea have strong AD, so with high probability can intercept most of missiles - we can't launch it in huge numbers like Russia.

UKR prototype of Bohdana 155 mm SP-howitzer fires on Zmiinyi island not far from Vylkove village, Odesa oblast. The range is about 36 km.

As turned out, many people havn't sense of humor )))

UKR troops of Reserve Corps 60th infantry brigade in liberated Potiomkyne village, Kherson oblast. On the video destroyed Russian BRM-1K, captured tank (T-72B3 mod.2016?) BMP-2 and BMD-2 (has tactical signs of 11th guard air-assault brigade) Liberation of Potiokyne, recently liberated Mykhailivka and actions in directions Ivanivka and Olhyne villages makes the threat for outflanking the grouping of Russian troops in Vysokopillia area - the spear, which recently was targeted on Kryvyi Rih or Nikopol, but now capable only for holding seized territories. Soldier says, they liberated this village with artillery support and atacked Russians fron the flanks.

Oscar for this action and special effects! PS. Video is not real, but... ))))

Our sappers will have alot of work for years...

Another good news today. Russian TG channel claims landing craft D-106 (pr.1176, NATO Ondatra class) blew up on the mine in Azov sea near Mariupol. It's unclear either vessel sank or just was damaged. D-106 belonged to 170th battalion of minesweepers (don't try to find logic here) of 184th litoral guarding brigade, Novorossiysk base. This is single landing craft of this type on Black Sea Fleet, which remained in service since Soviet time. Ukrianian Naval Forces also has one vessel of this type.

It's a joke - in USSR there was cheap and prevalent portwine "777". Because "7" has similar form to an axe, people called this wine "three axes" and this name moved to US howitzers

This can be too. but I also posted words of Lithuianian Eurocommittee representatives, that transit question showed no unity among EU officials. USA and UK, of course support position of Lithuania, but they not EU members.

Despite Lithuania rejected to agrre with EU document, which would be allow Russian transit to Kaliningrad, EU officials continue to seek opportunity to bypass sanctions for Russian transit in this question. Now they claimed the compromiss document will be ready to 10th of July, writes Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/exclusive-kaliningrad-row-eu-nears-compromise-deal-defuse-standoff-with-russia-2022-06-29/ Vladimir Dzhabarov, Russian senator, foreign affairs commitee of Federation Council (senat) head first deputy made a statement today that "Russia will not stop before nothing to protect own territories if blockade will take place. And this can lead to armed conflict". So, scared EU bureaucrats will make pressure on Lithuania to sign document with exclusions for Russian transit.

In nearest days we will see all. But main battle will be anyway for Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. This is symbolyc towns for Russia and DPR, because from theese towns "hot war" started on Donbas in 2014.

Either he is believed in Girkin post or this is very tough UKR OpSec. Because today this has written UKR serviceman, probably of 3rd SOF regiment: Translation: well, in principle, the battle for Lysychansk has started.

Video of Kh-22 hit at the mall in Kremenchuk Todays morning Russian missile hit 5-storey residential building in Mykolaiv. 4 dead (including 6-year girl) and 5 wounded.

Lack of infantry... Like in 1941 Russia is establishing combined battalions from sailors - crewmen of naval ships and vessels. Combined motor-rifle battalion of Northern fleet will depart to Ukraine from Murmansk. Probably as a part of 200th motor-rifle brigade. In its composition sailors, servicemen of coastal units, military police, reservists. This is not first case, reportedly 83rd air-assault brigade already sent similar replenishment (servicemen of brigade rear units+reservists) for one of own BTGs, moved to teh rear. Alexandr Boroday, former "prime-minister of DPR" and in present time the head of "Donbas Volunteers Union" claimed during "special military operation" DVU already lost killed more than 1000 members. DVU members, mostly citizens of Russia, fight either in DPR/LPR units (mostly regular) or in volunteer battalions, which DVU forms in Russia. Some of DVU members also fight in PMC.

Russia, relying on some western politic and business groups launched information campaign in western media with a goal to influence public opinion and hesitate the line of support of Ukraine. 1. Peskov, press-secreter of Putin, made a statement that "Special military operation will finished to the end of day if persident of Ukraine give an order to "nationalists" and AFU to lay down a weapon, reject from NATO and western support and weapon supply, agree to significantly reduce the army, agree with Russian status of Crimea and Donbas." 2. CNN issues an article that some representatives of White House told they don't believe Ukriane will be able to fight back lost territories. 3. Russians obviously forced the captured in Mariupol acting commander of 36th marines brigade to descriditate defenders of Mariupol and Azovstal, UKR command in the interview. They also forced him to say that Azov burned the bodies of "foreign merceneries" on Azovstal plant. This interview oviously prepare for sharing in western media. 4. NYT issued an article about problems in UKR army with communication and ineffectity of western aid. Next days likely similar articles will be issued in other large media. Politico (many it authors tied with Russia), Bloomberg, Reuters, Bild. All theese articles likely will be rely on more massive missile strikes, which will hit more and more cviliann objects.

Kyiv, 26th June. Moment of the second missile falls on the area of "Artem" factory, but more likely hit residential house

D-20 howitzers of 128th mountain-assault brigade in action D-30 of Kraken special purpose unit hit the house, occupied by Russians

Reportedly hit in dachas area caused big fire and black smoke Strike on Perevalsk, locals say military base was hit, many wounded LPR "authorities" showed fragments of GMLRS M30 with cluster warhead, which hit Perevalsk

Impacts geolocated by this video. Both Kh-22 missiles should hit the factory, but one hit the mall directly, the second (1:23) hit the end building of the factory, so both missiles with 500m of CEP failed to seriously damage the factory, but hit civilian object, caused the death at least 20 citizens and 59 were injured (25 of them hostitalized). But resque works still ongoing. Total about 40 calls about missed people was registered by local police. Amstor after Kh-22 dirct hit. Places of impacts Amstor pointed with red Google mark and the second hit with red ellipse. About 500 m between hits. The lake is above. The factory territory Second missile hit nearby the factory buildings, but shockwave caused destructions

In this statement about "rootification" DMS is correct. After period of "military communism", Soviet authorities were forced to start so-called "New Economy Policy" (NEP), together with raising of national cultures as opposed to Russian Empire national oppression, so it called "jail of nations". So between approx 1923/24 and up to 1927/29, when collectivisation began,Ukraine had a period, which our official history calls "Red Renaissance". There was intensive growth of new Ukrainian intelligentsia - artists, writers, social leaders. But "rootification" policy in Soviet Ukraine gave also growth of national identity, which distinguished from forms, which desired in Moscow. So, "Red Renaissance" was changed by Holodomor, and after it period of "Shot-out Revival" came, when almost all intelligentsia, elite of nation was eliminated in repressions. And since this we had full Sovetization as russification with short break in 60th-beginning of 70th
