Are you sure that are missiles or washing machines and dishwashers?
Ukrainian Special Services broke up and arrested a group running a bot farm with 1,500,000 social media accounts pushing Kremlin propaganda.
The only reason for America to keep this war going is for the War companies and their backers who are making Trillions $$$$$$$$, little of which goes to Ukraine but in their own pockets. Their puppet Zilenskyy( including madams Paris shopping spree) get their cut for their Trillionaire Mansions in Florida Switzerland London Italy etc.😩 etc.😩 But the Ukraine ordinary people are forced to stay to fight or be shot.
The Luhansk Governor Serhiy Haidai says that the Russian Army has evacuated its military command from Kreminna to Rubizhne.
Nice try ivan
A nine ton bomb.
the motherinlaw of all bombs
I like the Time Stamps!
Especially when you want to reference a section.
Happy New Year Alex
My understanding is that Russia has used heavy bombers to launch older shorter range cruise missiles and possibly missiles built for ground based batteries. This gives new life to older missiles and also keeps bombers far enough from targets that they are safe from AA fire.
Can't wait for the patriots to start shooting at $4 million a pop or 8 million per Russian missile hahahaha
I like Russia and I respect Putin a lot ….I would like to help anyway I can ….God bless Russia
According to this fool Alexander, Bakhmut was supposed to fall 6 months ago? But reality is +- 350 russians die around Bakhmut every day. Go watch some footage on R e d d i t (UkraineWarLeaks) , and see for yourself how badly the russians are getting hammered on all fronts.
From reading and listening to analysts who appear to have the correct knowledge, I wonder if the problem with western "experts" estimating the number of Russian cruise missiles and theater-based ballistic missiles is using the amount of munitions THEY can produce and assumes that the Russians cannot produce them any faster. There also appears to b e a gross underestimation of Russian manufacturing capacity. This may not be a surprise to those that follow well-informed sources, but it seems to be something western "experts" failed to consider.
A few points:
1. HAWK is a 1950s SAM system. It has been updated, but how do you integrate it into a Soviet-era AD system/
2. If the Russians want to do major damage to rail systems, they could target marshaling yards. These are central locations where different rail lines come together, trains are dispatched, etc. The Allies used such attacks on German marshaling yards in 1944-45. These are large sites, and you cannot hide them. You can only try and protect them. No AD, no defense.
3. MANPAFS are point-defense systems. As noted, they are basically designed to protect ground forces. They do not have the capability of long-range defense. Good luck trying to stop standoff missiles. Modern bombers have measures that detect and counter laser and IR targeting used by MANPADS.
4. The Su-24/30 series aircraft can use standoff missiles. As noted, the Russians have a wide variety of such missiles.Even old Su-17s can use such missiles.
5. Keep in mind that the Conventional Forces in Europe agreement only covers forces east of the Urals. Russia has great resources west of the Urals it can deploy.
This is obviously a family feud
The rest of the world needs to stay out.
Russian destroying Ukraine army and that the aim , holding land not important demilitarized is the objective and Russians army doing good job
RF deployed some 150 missiles which means they produce at least 50 a week, possibly up to 150 by now increasing production continuously.
Surovikin is an AF man and will use the AF as his biggest lever. He beat NATO in Syria, and knows the US army very well.
Alex, but l been told that the Russia are turning out missiles, rs
PLEASE FOLKS LISTEN TO SHOSTAKOVICH `S SYMPHONY 5 CONDUCTED BY JARVI PAAVO IN WHICH SHOSTAKOVICH REMEMBERS THE HORRORS RUSSIA FACED WHEN FIGHTING AND FINALLY HELPING TO FREE THE WORLD OF THE NAZIS THEN PRESIDENT PUTIN IS DOING THE SAME NOW THE NAZIS ARE CERTAINLY NOT ONLY IN THE UKRAINE CHECK RODNEY ATKINSON PROFESSOR STEPHEN COHEN JOHN LOFTUS FREDERICK FORSYTHE (HIS BOOK AND FILM THE ODESSA FILE VERY VERY WORTH READING AND WATCHING BASED ON FACT AS HE HIMSELF SAID) THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON LOOK AT WHAT THE "ELITE" HAVE DONE TO US SO FAR MEDIA NEARLY ALL UNDER THEIR EVIL THUMBS
Kiss of death?Anything reported on this site seems to instantly proved wrong within hours. I’m not surprised everyone is tuning in, just to witness how wrong you can be.

Didn't Putin order his forces to capture all Donetsk by tomorrow? Guess they might not succeed.
Send Biden. Send a few politicians to Ukraine and let them fight, it is after all "their war".
Just don't forget, the Clintons were making deals with Russia and Obama wasn't Russia friendly either.
Syria rebels developped sophisticated tunnel network enough to counter heavy bombing
Thanks again for your update.
Small point of info: the US has relied on 'smart bombs' with lots of electronics to get them to their locations. The Russians have taken another route from what I understand; lots of electronics in their bombers, communicating with satellites to check windspeed/-direction at different altitudes and other atmospheric conditions to release their bombs according to pretty precise (or 'smart') calculations to get to their targets. So 'smart releasing' of 'dumb bombs'.
Are they still storming Bakmuth
I'd be surprised if Ukrainian Insurgent deaths are less than 250,000 .and for who,I think we all know.disgusting.
Why does everyone record themselves with bookshelves behind them?
I hope you and all watchers have had a good Christmas, and that we all have a good, and safe, New Year
So, what you are saying is that you do not have any proof, but are assuming? I personally do not want to hear baseless assumptions, because it affects my stock trades?
Russia Prepares North Donbass Offensive <<<<<<😅🤣😂 What planet do you live on Mercouris ???
If Russia is to have a chance of winning they need to take out U.S. satellites. They should at least threaten to do this — maybe threaten to take out all satellites, except their own and fellow BRICs members (which the U.S. would then take out). Destroying the global GPS system would certainly catch the attention of everyone in the world.
All over Russia, from thousands of Danes. We support you, we support your fathers, young people fighting against the Genocide in Ukraine. You are not alone, we pray for you in the great Motherland and thank you for the great and dangerous work you are doing to bring the Nazis to the grave.!
