The tweet you linked is about the Brits about to seize tankers but then has a video of a Russian submarine, this may not be the most reliable source.

At the same time, US military social media has before used pictures of Russian equipment .

The people they have sourcing images for media these days don't know their a holes from their elbows but it doesn't USUALLY correspond to inaccuracy of the reporting, from what I've found.

To your point, though, news outlets don't proof electronic media with the rigor that they used to apply to print media. So many typos and inaccurate images. Drives me nuts.

And Chinese equipment as well, if I'm not mistaken.

With ALL the golf beer girls...

Russian sources now report that no less than 4 tankers of Russia's shadow fleet have been struck in the Black Sea.

Aside from previously reported Delta Harmony (9408463) and Matilda (9407457), the Freud (9804461) and the Delta Supreme (9585895) were also struck. All of those… pic.twitter.com/FL2jtieCCz

One of the most iconic videos of the war. Assaults like these aren't possible these days. Chosen company has since disbanded. A few of the guys are still active though. The commander Ryan is still active on twitter. The lines don't look like this now. All of the guys on both sides would have been fpv'd in like 20 minutes today. Crazy how much it's changed.

Funding for Ukraine aid again before Congress.

"At $300 million to $400 million, Congress is not trying to underwrite the war effort alone. That would cost billions. It is trying to keep Ukraine's forces viable, reinforce European burden sharing, and maintain Western leverage in negotiations as Russia continues to attack Ukraine's cities and infrastructure."

I'd expect to see a sale of helicopters to Ukraine, too, soon.

This was brought 3 years ago, but Russia can't really afford to move troops back to the east to protect its border. If they do, Ukraine needs to take full advantage.

Russian Z-bloggers are claiming that China has now effectively taken over a large part of Russia`s far east. China is now allegedly earning taxes from areas from Chita all the way to Vladivostok, with a large Chinese population now residing there. pic.twitter.com/sFl00mXAWN

I am not surprised in the slightest China saw that opportunity and would take it. Guess the only thing is what took them so long?

Russia left their flank exposed.

I'd like more corroboration of the Chinese incursion into the Far East. I think there would be a bigger stink over it if it was legit.

---

I don't think Russia wants to appear even weaker so they would not squeal too loudly. After all, what can Russia actually do about it with their military stretched so thin?

Ya going to call BS on that. Shaded area would include the resort town/port of Andreevka plus be right on the doorstep of Komsomolsk-on-Amur which is home to the Sukhoi plant, bassically their version of Lockheed in Fort Worth.

Russia can do a lot in response to a major incursion on areas that include the Russian mainland in that military industrial area. That's the kind of thing that would provoke a nuclear response.

Lol and then what? China has nukes as well.

Then MAD. But that's why MAD exists. If you invade a nuclear's powers mainland and threaten key production areas of military assets and bases those responses are on the table. And justifiably so.

You're explaining why there would be no nuclear response. And Russia has most of their military assets tied up in Ukraine.

The Russian pacific fleet is anchored in Vladivostok along with key naval assets and nuclear arsenals. It is also a large port and shipbuilding center for the Russian. To the NW and the aforementioned Komsomolents-an-Amur, Sukhoi's largest military and civilian aerospace plant exists along with several strategic airbases. That entire region is industry heavy and a lot of it tied up in defense production. They would defend the hell out of it and burn it and everyone else down trying.

According to Niyso, Adam is in critical condition. Doctors are resuscitating him and preparing him for an urgent transfer to Moscow.

Wow. That is indeed convenient.

I was confused by that at first but now I get it. Don't need to kill his son to get it though.

This should have been done with in the first year of the war.

Justin Taylor went to Ukraine to see first hand all that is going on currently with the war. About a quarter of the way through it, but this is good stuff that highlights how normal people are caught up in all this bull***** Civilians being trained to be first responders to keep people from bleeding out before the ambulance can even arrive.

Poland transferred the majority years ago. This is the final 14 which it couldn't let go until it had enough new FA-50s on board to backfill for its own defense needs.

The USA could have pushed fighters to Poland to cover those 14 until the FA-50's got there.

And we could have sent F-16's ourselves but we didn't.

The MiG-29's made more sense early on because that's what they already had pilots experienced in. Now with better options like F-16's and Mirage 2000's it's less helpful.
