Someone was doing a passable attempt at an exaggerated French accent there, and then it just went somewhere else.
I'm guessing these are Russians feigning foreign accents as opposed to the other way around.
The K-2 battalion released a new video, where they stop russian reinforcements with mortars and grenade launchers.
Is this the same group that did the T forest line videos?
Yeah exactly. They also released 2 videos of the aftermath. You can find them on their Youtube channel. They also have uncensored versions on their Telegram account.
A massive russian “guided” FAB bomb destined for Kharkiv have fallen of the aircraft on Belgorod city in russia.
Womp, womp.
This can happen, if you use your maintenance budget to buy a mansion or a yacht.
Wow
More on the above.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Moment of explosion
What’s the reaction to this in Russia? I haven’t seen anything
A fiver says "Evil Ukrainian nazis bombed our city"
First thing I thought
Surprisingly, no, they've admitted (Russian MoD) that it was their own bomb that "abnormally descended"* from the plane.
* from the people that brought you the clap
How often this happens in military history? I mean, how many times has a country accidentally bomb itself?
IIRC the US mistakenly attacked some of their own units in Granada. But at least they were targeting the intended country.

I currently live within the blast radius of a nuke that was lost off of the coast of Georgia in the late 50s. It was a midair collision between a bomber & fighter that caused the bomb to be jettisoned...

It's highly unlikely that a nuclear bomb that wasn't "armed" would go off though, unlike ordinary high explosives. And for some reason it seems slightly different when the plane is otherwise fine compared to when it's involved in an accident, although I appreciate it wouldn't be much consolation to anyone it landed on.
I’m reading a book about Vietnam and French aviation semi-regularly bombed their own positions in their struggle with Vietnamese.
Person in the white car must have shit their pants. Looks like they got lucky and didn't take too big a hit, surprisingly.
Yep, I read the probability of a nuclear detonation being around getting hit by lightning.
This is actually the fourth time I've lived in areas that either would be first strike options for the Soviets or be inside the closest ring for a nuclear plant meltdown.
US droped 4 nukes because an air accident in 1966 in Spain. Some of them mini detonated causing an increase in radioactivity

I hope it was worth it, so Putin can wake up in his palace and thank him for his service. Why are people so fecking stupid and give their only life on this planet for some modern tsar. It makes me sad.
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think at least that looks like a true funeral - other corpses are just rotting somewhere in Ukrainian swamps. And I think that's even sadder than this.
What’s the thought process behind this from both sides?
The Russians are anticipating an attack on the Crimean front soon, which is not wrong. They are resorting to all kinds of things to raise troop morale.
As for Ukraine, Crimea is the key objective of their endgame. If they reconquer the peninsula, it would create a major disruption for Russian maritime traffic in the Black Sea and nearly (if not outright) the end of Russian territorial ambitions in Ukraine.
Thanks mate - so what could the territorial concessions be in favour of Russia?
Keep Moscow

Grim. But in the end, Putin will probably meet a violent end.
I'm not too particular but would really prefer it be by defenestration.
I remember it, headline news in the UK at the time. Both the US and USSR were afraid of a 'first strike' nuclear attack, and the US had nuclear-armed aircraft in the air at all times so that they could retaliate even if there was a sneak attack on their bases. Daresay the Russians had too.
I know, but with great age comes great wisdom, interspersed with not knowing what the feck's going on anymore of course.You "remembered"? christ
An attack on Crimea is enormously difficult, the only land route onto the peninsula, the Perekop Isthmus, is 9km wide, with no cover and heavily fortified. It's not realistic to think that Ukraine has the capability to go through there.
