Russia Is Building Huge Protective Shelters For Its Strategic Bombers​

The Russians have finally unlocked the "Hardened Bomber Bunkers" technology.

A CIA report from 1977 on morale and discipline issues inside the Soviet military. Take a drink for every issue that continues to persist in the modern day Russian military... if you dare!

Just in case anyone thinks Ukrainians and Russians not getting along is something that's been artificially induced in the modern era.

From page 4 of the document, the section on Ethnic Hostilities:
I have a friend in the Caucasus who can confirm this. The Armenians, Georgians, Russians and Iranians self segregate in industries and companies but particularly when it comes to recreational activities like bars and clubs. Small fights break out over some shit that happened 100 years ago, or 10 days ago, but ethnicities back up their own. If alcohol or drugs are involved, it can turn into a large kinetic cultural enrichment experience for all parties. Its more uncommon in the metropolitan gen-z bracket but in rural, gen-x and older millennials, it still persists.

The Russians military has openly talked smack about the North Koreans serving in Ukraine. Its no secret they don't like them.

Yeah, there's a few more paragraphs that go into detail.

The final one is probably the most lulzy. Russian officers did not want to spend time with Finnish locals (probably to avoid getting stabbed or otherwise disappearing), Private Pyle went on a rampage as a result of taking too much shit from Russians, killing twelve, and you had a full-blown brawl between Russians and Jews.
 
One official cites Russia's war with Charles XII and Sweden over 22 years as sign of determination, which sounds like mania given the shit state of Russia now.
The 22 year war with Sweden also took so long because it was the early 18th century and troops had to march around a fucking huge amount of territory. Even assembling an army for a campaign could take a year. And then you had to spend a year or two using it. Also both Sweden and Russia had other things to do at the same time they were fighting each other. Alot of the fighting was just frontier skirmishing with a few massive set pieces like Poltava that came very rarely. Some years of the war nobody did anything at all.
The low key admission that Russia never advanced beyond the 1850s in mindset or logistics.
And is still buttmad about its imperial power being checked.

A visibly angry Putin asserts a madly revisionist of how Stalin somehow tried to form an alliance against Hitler. It's likely the old Soviet big lie technique where outright falsehood is asserted to confuse people about reality, but there's likely a degree to which Putin believes it. There patently is a degree to which Putin has fallen to the dictator disease of believing his own propaganda.
"You see, stalin sold Germany oil, steel, and weapons in order to bait the Germans into a cauldron...."

Well, its not like the Pantsir was all that effective before it ran out of replacement parts for its radars...
I am trying to find a quality soruce but Moscow is now flooded with Pantsirs. This probably means that big Drone wave Ukraine launched found Russian AAD rather lacking.

The place where I served had a massive fight involving knives just couple years prior between some Russians and Chechens iirc, it was gruesome. You're already aware of commonalities between Russian army and prisons, and that also includes ethnic gangs. Even the limited internet of early 2000s was full of footage with wall on wall skirmishes and group fights in the army.

Peoples of Caucasus in particular have a very strong sense of pride and loyalty to their own, while a lot of Russians are essentially rootless, with their birthright being multiethnic, multicultural slapdash commie soup. Meaning the latter often have trouble effectively organizing on the same scale, because they're busy making each other miserable.
Not that I admire Caucasians - good ones among them are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, while the worst are literal animals (the more muslim, the worse it gets, more or less).
All that is to say, Russia is far from the homogeneous white Christian utopia some people imagine it as. The same Caucasians are essentially our Mexicans, often making up majority of workers on construction sites, often undocumented. In fact, I just passed one such crew on my way to lunch as they were having theirs, not a word of Russian in all their lively chatting.
Essentially, ethnic friction didn't go anywhere.

I can verify the authenticity of this.
As a Georgian, I've had an Armenian colleague for years now and I patiently await for him to fuck up just so i can call him a brown nigger and say that they deserved the genocide, which didn't happen btw. all in good fun of course.
In my opinion, UNFORTUNATELY, Georgians try to get along with everyone in the caucasus, while Armenians and Azeris are really tribalist. Because of this, Georgians most of the time fall for the "unified caucasus" meme, not realizing that everyone else hates us (and each other). thats why we have both sizeable Armenian and Azeri minorities in our country, while Armenia and Azerbaijan are like 99% homogenous, OTOH Georgia is only 84% Georgian.
 
Aleksey Chadayev:
To the head of the Chechen Republic
R. A. Kadyrov
An open letter

Our country's problems in the area of fuel supply, caused by mass attacks of Ukrainian drones on large Russian oil refineries, are known to all.

We also know and remember than in the Chechen Republic, even in the hottest periods of the second and first war, there used to be a working and actively-developing semi-underground (at the time) network of artisanal small-scale oil-refining enterprises. We know also that, for the most part, such enterprises remain in your competence to this day.

I believe that now is the right time to come to the leadership of the country and its fuel-energetical complex with a suggestion to deploy a network of such enterprises in the various regions of the country. Among their obvious advantages in our time are mobility, low visibility, low cost of equipment, and minimal demands of infrastructure. The presence of such oil-refining capabilities, even if they have less-favorable indicators of prime cost, could have a strategical value at the time; at the very least, it could strongly reduce the political effect of local deficits of fuel and queues at gas stations.

In addition, such enteprises could be partially buried and placed in concrete shelters, which would make them not only a less profitable, but also a more complicated target for drones.

New times require new solutions, but with a reliance on existing experience and competences. The Chechen Republic has those; and now is the right time to suggest this idea at the very minimum as an alternative to the current projects of buying fuel in neighboring countries, which creates various risks both for them and for us.

Very respectfully,
A. Chadayev
 
Bearded dude seems to have Ukrainian accent, I assume it's not just some random guy. No idea how Russian guys didn't notice, they're usually on high alert for anything even slightly Ukrainian. I'd imagine they'd be seething if they knew who they were talking to.

*in cartoony high-pitched voice* "FUCKING HOHOLS!"

Magyar Birds two for one effort. These older fools signed up to part of a latterday Mongol Horde (recall Muscovy was essentially a creation of the Golden Horde for whom it collected tribute).

Monthly salaries up to US$11,000 for frontline assault troops with a phased payment of $7,400 to licensed private companies. This is the segment of the Ukrainian forces with the highest casualties, so it will be envisaged that these recruits could make up a high proportion, up to half, of these forces.

You mean one in two?
Older people tend to be Putin's most ardent supporters. But regrettably, his strongest soldiers are too old to serve, even by the current, desperate standards where just about anyone would do. They're only outdone by old harpies that literally worship Putin, but will never see the battlefield for obvious reasons.
Another side of it is sheer desperation. To some this is easy money and in their eyes the only viable option.

Worth noting that recently there have been reports of police catching drunkards/homeless in the streets and forcing them to sign military contract: https://www.svoboda.org/a/kak-vypiv...dayut-k-kontraktam-s-minoborony/33767481.html
And just last week in Penza raids by police coordinated with voenkomat were reported, seemingly targeting random aggregations of men in public, describing the process as chaotic. Article specifies reservists as alleged targets, which is pretty much anyone who went through mandatory service, up to the age of 40-55 for regular soldiers depending on the category and specialization, and 50-70 for officers.

Attorney interviewed in the article speculates that this is likely how next wave of mobilization in Russia would probably look like if it happens, gives various tips on what to do to fight for your rights and reminding that signing contract is still a voluntary process and according to constitution can't be forced. But that's obviously only relevant when it isn't being blatantly disergarded by every institution that's supposed to protect our rights.
I realize it would be suicidal for the country to start throwing male populaton into the meatgrinder indiscriminately, considering the effect current recruitment is already having on demographics and economy. But I wouldn't be so foolish as to dismiss the possibility entirely, since Putin appears to be prioritizing his personal glory over wellbeing of Russians. Our lives is a price he's perfectly willing to pay, equally detached from both his people and reality.
I can promise you one thing, it will be utter chaos. There's a lot of men just trying to keep their heads down and weather it out, pushed in the corner and left with no other choice along with so many others, they won't just go along with it willingly. When your entire world is flipped upside down, when you're ripped out from your family and sent to die for God knows what, math changes. Mass mobilization would mean mobilization against Putin, he probably realizes that as well.
Hope it never comes to that, but who can tell at this point. Went on a bit of tangent here, heh...
Russian position being hit by thermite:

Yep, that's pretty terrifying.
Good.
Bro thinks he's gonna extinguish thermite with a bottle of water LOL
Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try if you're going to burn to death anyway.
 
Oh no not the blameless Muskovites, how could this be happening!

Do Muskovites really regard themselves as distinct from other Russians, is this a common sentiment?
no outside context shenanigans like Belarus entering the war.
Technically this is not what outside context means. Outside context would be aliens invading from beyond the solar system to save Russia or the angel of death smiting the whole Russian army in a single day. It's when something entirely outside of your concept of what is possible comes out of nowhere and surprises you.

What a wonderful rant. But as usual, even though he recognizes that Russia is ruled by the regime of kleptocrats who sold out USSR's legacy for personal benefit and continues to rob Russian people, he doesn't question legitimacy of the war they started. He's only upset because they're getting their shit pushed in, because his wet fantasies about Russia's military might ended up being a nightmare, and that they don't get to bully Ukrainians uncontested.
Please, more of this

He looks a lot like The Quartering btw, don't know what to make of it.
 
Winning the war like Germany in 1945.

This is only the beginning. I expect more zigger meltdowns as the situation deteriorates further. Lmao It can only get worse for them from here.
This reminds me of the periphery memes in Battletech.

That was quite a bold strategy and it does appear to have paid off.
Z man must have some solid intel.
It's probably a reminder that while Soviet larper Lukashenka is mostly loyal to neo commie Putin and Moscow, his first loyalty is to himself and his friends. If Ukraine peeled off just some of its drones to mess with him, his rigged election shit would be pushed in so hard.
