"Who remembers the Armenians?"
Just did a quick Google and apparently they came 4th in the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.

Was just watching some combat vet reacts and hes reacting to a video about Ukrainians elite 47th
They are talking about the Paladin and the cluster munitions.
Interesting they confirmed what many of us had expected, 1) only used where its confirmed there are no civilians, and 2) probably more importantly, they record every single round used so they know where any unexploded cluster munitions could be.

I am going to suggest Leeds, and Musks empire. Seems fine right?
Windows 3.11 For Wagnergroups.
Technically it's a linked discussion, as this is a country like Syria that has previously been militarily supported by Russia and they would never be getting invaded right now if their protector wasn't busily drowning in it's own faces, it will be interesting to see how Russia respond. Do they divert resources from Ukraine to try and maintain their superpower image or do they take the embarrassment hit of their protectorate getting steamrolled.
Always pays to buy n bulk, random fact of interest: The USA hasn't bought any purple hearts (their medal for being killed/injured in combat) since WW2, they're still using the order they placed as part of the preparation for the invasion of Japan.Some info the Russian MOD ordered 230,000 death certificates
On the plus side, it's an additional supply line of "thing that is better than anything similar the Russians have" for Ukraine, anything on top is a bonus.
I really hope this is more of an after-action report detail rather than something that someone is tasked with doing in the middle of a battle.
The first unit I was stationed with was an artillery unit and timeliness in both striking targets and getting the hell out of ther was imperative.

Timing seems strange. Plus I don’t think you’d get much discount on paper.

Guessing that it's going to be short lived, because I very much doubt Russia will be supplying arms to Armenia this time.

One sided, like Ike vs. Tina Turner I imagine.

Facepalm. Literally what we laugh at Russia about.

Losing the MiG-29s isn't great, but they do have 80 ish. Losing three Su-25s however is downright terrible news. That's almost a quarter of their stock
*EDIT*
Slightly better news, it seems their stock of Su-25 has actually doubled over the past few months due to donations from Bulgaria and the country north of Macedonia. so only down to 32 instead of 14

Let me clarify this as I can see what I originally posted is confusing regarding this -
I meant that the LRG is accurate enough to get the missile to about 10km+ away from the target which is when the IIR sensor in the nose takes over during the terminal phase, not that the LRG alone is accurate enough to hit a Sub without the IIR sensor.
I split that single sentence up into two different sentences in my original post which added to the confusion, sorry about that.

Though actually not easy and expensive (though that takes on a different dimension in war) to construct hardened shelters do work even against Lancets, I'm surprised they've not got them let alone air defences - a single Lancet shouldn't get anywhere near those planes.
I had to chuckle at the array of tyres at the side of the apron as well in the context of what the Russians are doing LOL.

The NY Times have released a story claiming, with quite a lot of credible physical evidence TBF, that the recent Russian missile attack on the marketplace of Kostiantynivka was in fact not a Russian missile but caused by a faulty Ukrainian SAM (anti-aircraft) missile from a BUK system fired 4 minute earlier, based on recovered missile fragments amongst other things -

I'm still not 100% convinced yet (about 90% convinced) as things like the "missile direction deduced from a reflection on a car roof" have already been shown to be unreliable but physical things like missile fragments from a specific type of missile are, for me at least, more of a positive ID. Irrespective however, no news is ever 100% clear in a war where propagada exists on both sides and Russia is still 100% at fault here as these innocent civilians are still dead because of the Russian's invasion at the end of the day not matter how they died.
Evidence Suggests Ukrainian Missile Caused Market Tragedy (Published 2023)
Witness accounts and an analysis of video and weapon fragments suggest a Ukrainian missile failed to hit its intended target and landed in a bustling street, with devastating consequences.

A missile strike that killed at least 15 people in a Ukrainian market was blamed on Russia. There's now growing evidence it was fired by Ukraine.
The September 6 missile strike on Kostiantynivka, east Ukraine was condemned by Kyiv, the UN, and Ukraine's allies. But it was likely a tragic error, said the NYT.

Some like the S-200 are massive missiles, though BUKs are a bit smaller - the explosion looked a bit on the big side for ~70kg warhead - would have said more like the 100-150kg from an S-300 or something.
