I had rumors but that's it, first strike made by an F16 and confirmed by a direct contact in the International Legion. We are finally there.

Its worth noting that Ukraine have "allegedly" taken out the 70m Crimean deep space network dish in Yevpatoria here in the picture. The only others Russia have are a
-64-meter antenna at Bear Lakes, near Moscow.
-64-meter antenna at Kalyazin, just north of Moscow,
-70-meter antenna at Galenki near Ussuriisk, in Primorsky Krai in the very east of Russia above Vladivostok.
The 5th 70-meter antenna on the Suffa plateau in Uzbekistan was never completed as the soviet collapsed. Although there was a 2 year plan to restart it in 2018, things never got started due to covid.
Without these Russia has no independent way to communicate with its satellites and therefore no way to sell North Korea anything either. So if Bear Lakes and Kalyazin are taken out, they have only Galenki and without GPS its very hard to target just using inertia guideance should you want to nuke a target as you are doing it manually pre GPS which is militarily speaking before 1970s.
Other than guiding your ICBMs this puts you back to the 70s for everything else too.

It might actually prompt military cooperation between Japan and South Korea that doesn’t have to go via the US.
There are a lot of historical reasons, some within living memory, why the South Koreans don’t really trust the Japanese. Both however are strong allies of the US.
That historic dislike which tbh I’d probably use a rather stronger word Isn’t going to change anytime soon until and unless the japanese leadership has a miraculous change of heart in accepting past wrongs. That’s also something that the chinese who similarly suffered can and will quite easily try to play on Korean grievances.There are a lot of historical reasons, some within living memory, why the South Koreans don’t really trust the Japanese.

Properly trained soldiers are neat and tidy to the point of OCD. Personal hygiene is paramount. Even without bottled water, a British soldier would be able to safely survive in Ukraine.Boil and distil if you have to.
Ruzzian soldiers are mingers.

Does it suggest officers aren't visting their men for fear of getting fragged? Or just aren't visiting.Boil and distil if you have to.

Tax increases in Russia have been implemented, no surprises over where they are spending it. But its telling to see how their "high income earners" are being taxed. They are now around £1000 a month as what would have been £2000 due to inflation and other aspects has meant someone earning £1000/month in Russia at the moment is doing well.
But this is also a reflection of where the economy is going and how they can't fudge reality as they are short of money overall. This increase in tax is also suffocating the economy.
This also illustrates how poor Russia is at the moment and also how its going to look over the coming years. As paying people to die is expensive.

IIRC, it was suggested that RUS soldiers have 15 privates to one lance corporal. With us it's three to one.
