  1. The Ruskies are a classy bunch as always.

    Boozed-up Russian troops detonate grenade in crazy Christmas Eve bar brawl

    Kireevsky then took out an F-1 grenade and threw it into the cafe parking lot, the publication reported.

    The Russian F1 is a high-explosive, defensive, fragmentation, hand grenade, nicknamed the Limonka (lemon-like), used as an anti-personnel grenade.

    Local man Sergei Chernogorov was injured by the blast and rushed to hospital while two cars were damaged, as well as the cafe bar.

  4. This could always be disinformation but it comes from "pro-Russian" blogger sites and channels. Oy!!

    Downed Russian jets ‘almost all’ taken out by Kremlin's own air defence

    :rolleyes:

    Russian jets shot from the sky were “almost all” downed by Moscow’s own air defence systems, pro-Kremlin military bloggers have claimed.

    A failure by Moscow’s forces in Ukraine to interact with other branches of the military led to a number of “friendly fire” incidents that brought down Su-30M, Su-34 and Su-35S fighter aircraft, as well as Ka-52 helicopters.

    It was said that the Russian air force’s main enemy had become its own air defence systems.

    The claims were made by authoritative pro-Russian military bloggers via their channels on the Telegram messaging app.

    Rybar, a widely read but unofficial Russian propaganda account, reported: “Insufficient levels of interaction with other branches and types of troops, along with an inoperative identification system, has more than once led to ‘friendly fire’ to the point that almost all Su-34, Su-35S and Su-30M aircraft lost since spring, as well as part of the Ka-52 helicopters, are ‘on account’ of Russian air defence.”

    FighterBomber, another authoritative Russian channel, added: “I’m also not happy with the fact that our valiant air defence is the worst and most dangerous enemy for all of our aviation. The fact that almost all of our planes were shot down by it is completely nonsense.”

  7. Wagner guy getting to be more problematic for Putin.

    There was that video a few days back which showed wagner and Russian army soldiers trashing and bashing Gerasimov the head of the Russian army and Shoigu the Defense Minister.

    Russian media dismissed it as Ukrainians making a fake video.

    Now Wagner guy comes along and says it is legit and that there is not a single Ukrainian in that video.

    OOOPS!

    Video from Wagner group with Prigozhin saying: these soldiers can go back home, their contract is finished.
    They will be send back home in bodybags when they have a truckload full of them.
