I did mentioned at 11am it was likely the Skyceptor kit that Germany sent

This is exactly how Russia should be treated. They want to behave like pariah states, treat them like one.

Doubt we have enough to spare. Surprised Rapier never appeared in Ukraine, they must be in a warehouse somewhere.I did mentioned at 11am it was likely the Skyceptor kit that Germany sent
Considering all the hype around hyper sonic missiles, if the Patriot can be demonstrated to repeatably shot down these missiles, the threat of them may disappear.

Did BAe ever get Rapier Lazerfire working? I remember everyone at the Stevenage plant sweating bullets after Original Recipe Rapier failing dismally in the Sgt. York trials.
There are two "bears". The one trying to destroy the stocks of "Troinoi" and the other one that the next day is having meetings. I assume the first is writing posts as his brain is being destroyed by "odekolon".
Never mind, let's dance.

0:46 History Legends! I bloody well knew he was a shill who enjoyed parroting Russia propaganda, now he's been caught flirting with his own kind.
@bingham67 you asked the other week about the History Legends channel, well this is the kind of company he keeps.
It's the Russian politics talking.
Wagner are making gains in Bakhmut, not good gains, but existent gains and that's not really something you can do if you have no ammunition.
If we look at it from the simplest possible angle (aside from him being honest), this is Putin's mate making it clear to Russians that if Ukraine takes back Bakhmut it's the direct fault of Russia's Defence Minister and Chief of the General Staff (and therefore not Putin's fault).

Not much to figure out, it's just a Iskandar warhead with a rocket motor bolted to the back.
