In Sevastopol, the Russian boat "Vladimir Kozytskyi", designed to search for sea mines, blew up on a mine. Well it did what it was designed for.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-soldier-says-8-ukrainian-085119346.html Russian soldier says 8 Ukrainian fighters fended off hundreds of enemy troops from their fortified position, per leaked audio Alia Shoaib Sat, October 28, 2023 at 10:51 AM GMT+2·2 min read A Russian soldier described the "slaughter" of his comrades in an intercepted call, per Ukrainian intel. He said that in one instance, eight Ukrainian soldiers were able to fend off hundreds of Russians. A Ukrainian official said they built heavy fortifications for expected Russian assaults. A Russian soldier described the "slaughter" of 1,000 0f his comrades and said they don't stand a chance against well-prepared Ukrainian forces, according to a leaked phone call released by Ukraine's Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR.) On the call, the soldier tells his mother that the whole forest is "dotted with dead soldiers" as Russia tries to take the village of Ivanivka in Kherson Oblast, per a translation by The Kyiv Post. "There's such a slaughter going on there!" he said. "More than a thousand were killed." He describes Russian forces suffering heavy losses when coming up against heavily fortified Ukrainian positions. He said that when a unit of 20 Russians assaulted a Ukrainian position, only "two or three come back." In one instance, he said, a handful of Ukrainian soldiers fended off hundreds of Russian troops. "Yesterday Sam flew the plane and said that just eight people were sitting in the trench, just eight khohols. And our men go there by the hundreds, and they are not even capable of taking a fucking thing!" he said. "Khohols" is derogatory Russian term for Ukrainians. He said that snipers and machine gunners were in the trench, along with a "pillbox" — a concrete dug-in guard post — to protect them. Insider was not able to independently verify the authenticity of the call. Ukraine's intelligence department has periodically published the audios of intercepted Russian calls, which Russian media often dismisses as fake. Russia has been conducting attacks on Ukrainian positions in the town of Ivanivka as they try to push forward toward Kupyansk in Kharkiv Oblast, Ukrainian officials have said. The spokesperson for Ukraine's Ground Forces Command, Lieutenant Colonel Volodymyr Fitio, said that they expected Russia to try and recapture Kupyansk, so "appropriate defense structures were built," per Ukrinform.

Now why would I post this here? See the last sentence. AVIATION Boeing’s big Air Force One problem Francis Scialabba Boeing’s defense unit is struggling so bad it’s making even the Denver Broncos blush. The aviation manufacturer reported a $924 million loss for the unit in Q3, $482 million of which was lost entirely on the two 747 jets that will make up the next Air Force One fleet. That brought the total loss on the presidential planes to an estimated $2.4 billion in the last five years. Boeing blamed higher manufacturing expenses caused by engineering changes, labor shortages, and supplier negotiations. The jets are becoming a financial sinkhole. Boeing signed a $3.9 billion fixed contract with the US government in 2018 to assuage then-President Trump after he criticized the company and threatened to cancel the order. CEO David Calhoun later admitted that agreeing to produce the new Air Force One planes was a “very unique negotiation” that the company “probably shouldn’t have taken.” Plus…making a plane fit for a president isn’t easy. Both jets need missile-defense systems, nuclear-protected communications, and (presumably) custom bald eagle wallpaper. Boeing’s task is further complicated because in order to meet Trump’s desire to cut costs, the company had to use two planes that were originally made for a Russian airline.—CC + + + Sorry PooPoo can't get your grimy hands on dem.
Well they've lost yuuuge numbers of soldiers killed and or wounded, yuuge numbers of tanks, troop carriers etc, yuuge numbers well many navy jets and ships but looking on the bright side lol they've reduced their prison population dramatically. Which allows them to imprison more citizens that will be resorting to crime as the economy sinks further and further down. Stat The number of Russian prisoners released from custody and sent to fight in Ukraine. The country’s prison population was estimated at 420,000 before Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, but according to a justice minister is now at a record low of 266,000, with up to 100,000 believed to have taken up arms. The Wagner mercenary group pioneered offering prisoners pardons in exchange for service — its late leader Yevgeny Prigozhin would helicopter from prison to prison calling on inmates to pay for their crimes “in blood,” The Washington Post reported — and the defense ministry has continued the practice even after Prigozhin’s death in a suspicious air crash this year.
And when these prisoners are done committing war crimes in Ukraine and return home... they get this. Vladimir Putin’s 'rapists and killers going on rampage' after returning to Russia https://www.express.co.uk/news/worl...rapists-murderers-wagner-group-russia-ukraine
My forecast for the next year 1. Ukraine will be parted officially. Will be less 50% of the original or stop existing. And it will be accepted by USA and NATO 2. US and Europe will start removing sanctions and CNN will say Putin is not that bad and Ukraine was actually Nazi state 3. Gwbtrader and suntrader will be declared the most moronic elitetrader members ever
The only thing you will have next year is explosive diarrhea as we relentlessly mock your "forecast". You should really stock up on the following: In the meantime you can educate yourself with some reality... Europe’s worst barbarian Vladimir Putin has combined neo-Stalinism and religious fervour, with all the absurdities that entails https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2023/10/29/europes-worst-barbarian-en
