‼️Importantly‼️
The worm army has already obtained the technology that allows you to jam Starlink at "zero". They are testing and preparing for industrial use.
For the competent:
we are talking about Ku. Not about Ka.
But we understand that it is a matter of time.

Additional information and methods of possible countermeasures by fighters will be shared later by other sources.
Of course, transferred to the competent authorities.
But considering their number, by the way. You know how to contact me.

Why is it here?
So that more specialists with rivets wrinkle their brains over unified countermeasures. The front without Starlink is significantly more difficult than even the front without F-16.
Blind and deaf.

Western armour fetish is melting before our eyes. Not only another Leopard A6 was eliminated, but apparently Russians captured CV90 in so-so state:

I don't understand this line of thinking .  Who ever claimed   Western  Armor is invincible ? - We have Seen Leopards , MI1A1's , Bradley's  blown up before in multiple theaters over the last few decades ( Saudi Arabia , Iraq , Turkey , Syria  etc )  - it is no surprise they are doing so  and will continue to do so in this theatre of action .  This is  the same set of delusions now being packaged around  F-16's  as some sort of wonder weapon  . You analyze the success rate of a class of vehicles - success in terms of completing its designated mission goals  over several months if not years of use . Whether a single  tank is destroyed or captured in a particular  tactical encounter  is utterly irrelevant .

Now compare crew losses from Soviet/Russian armor to NATO/Western armor.

Mainstream media + part of various analysts/public commentators did (not on this board, fortunatelly); they raised the hype among broad western public, which in turn facilitated into thinking about silver bullets. We talked about it here many times.

CM players on this site (lets recall this is a gaming site) are entirely aware that a King Tiger, IS-2, Abrams or T90 (depending on the title) is not immune to damage or destruction on the battlefield. Nobody here is so naive.

Yeah, especially if I am at the helm 😳

Speaking about the border ... this is borderline ridiculous.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/wagner-mercs-may-soon-infiltrate-214810246.html

Local media in Poland and Belarus have reported sightings of more than 100 Wagner mercenaries moving towards the Suwałki Gap—a thin strip of land that is the border between NATO members Poland and Lithuania, but is flanked by Belarusian and Russian land on each side.

Turn off the grill and head for the hills.

Gee, Russia can invade Ukraine and confiscate it's children and I won't be able to have pint in Ireland without giving away the family jewels? 

Governments love having humans maximally searchable on databases, using digitized identification. For a long time, it was cranky Americans, with their stubborn notions of privacy and liberty—the right to move through life without showing papers to people with guns—who led the resistance against being answerable, of having to ask officials for permission. Now it's us pushing the rest of the "free world" toward having global biometric and banking information just a single government click away. Shame, that.

This screams just as much a "smoke and mirrors" campaign as the alleged buildup for a Russian attack on Kyiv earlier this year. What can a handful of Wagner mercenaries possibly hope to achieve even if they do cross the border?

Even if they do avoid being caught for any length of time, there’s not much they can do that could undermine the Ukrainian war effort that wouldn’t also trigger Article 5. Russia may have been able to employ them with the plausible deniability excuse in the Donbas and Africa, but I’m pretty sure such excuses wouldn’t work on the likes of Polish or Lithuanian soil.

One thing the Russians can do, is to try to sneak into EU as refugees and commit acts of terrorism. There has already been some reports of groups caught trying to do just that, but of course they might try again.

It would also not help if they succeeded. But they have so far done many actions that make things worse for them so far.

While I am a lover of free expression, at some point a seasoned editor has say put this your back pocket use it in a much larger article on the subject.

We have to stop this slow boiling nonsense and shatter the entire Russian army in Ukraine.

 

Edit: after an argument with the FTs copyright protection i reposted it with the twitter link.

I couldn't agree more, boiling the frog should've ended a long time ago.  While time is on UKR's side in most ways, a longer war does open up the possibility of URK's war going sideways somehow.  What if more Orban's get elected, for example?

The RA can not be defeated by manpower. It can be defeated by firepower. The two are not the same. And DC has get off the beach and win before there is nothing left to fight for other than re-building contracts the results of which none of us will see in our lifetimes.

The captured CV-90

And a captured AMX-10

Quote

A Ukrainian AMX-10RCR armoured fighting vehicle was captured by the Russian army- this stuck vehicle was abandoned by Ukrainian troops in Novodonetske, #Donetsk Oblast at the beginning of the last month and was recovered only now.
