Boom goes the ammo.

As if driven by a Ghost Rider, the burning truck inexplicably drives off for some bizarre reason.

The sooner we send these to Ukraine the better. The GLSDB has a range of about 150 kilometers. Delivery could come in the spring.

It isn't ATACMS but it is longer-range than HIMARS.

Developed by Boeing in partnership with Saab of Sweden, each GLSDB round is a combination of two existing systems, the air-launched 250-pound GBU-39/B SDB with its pop-out wing set and the rocket motor from the 227mm-caliber M26 artillery rocket. The M26 is among the rocket types that can be fired from M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), and variants thereof, and the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). HIMARS is famously already in use with Ukraine, as are its tracked stablemate that fires the same ammunition, the M270 MLRS. Propelled by the M26 rocket motor for the initial boost/loft phase, the GLSDB's wings are then deployed and it flies unpowered, as a glide bomb. It uses the GBU-39/B’s existing inertial navigation system and embedded GPS to guide it to its target. That guidance system not only ensures accuracy to within 3 feet, according to Saab, but is also resilient to electronic warfare jamming, something that is of particular concern in the Ukrainian conflict.

Russians are the animals in this scenario.

x This is Yampil zoo (not far from Lyman). While it was occupied, Russian soldiers ate the bison, deer, ostriches...Gosha the camel and the wolves died of starvation. Bones and corpses of animals are lying on the zoo's territory.

I’m amazed there isn’t a Russian word for fragging. Or maybe there is and I just haven’t heard it yet.

x I know it’s not shocking, but based on radio interceptions, supposedly senior officers in the Russian army refer to mobilized soldiers as “Odnorazovye” which can be roughly translated as “disposables” or “throwaway”. Great attitude, a great army, great leadership🤡 — Tatarigami_UA (@Tatarigami_UA) November 30, 2022

Speaking of poor attitudes among the troops.

x Mutiny in a military base in the Russian the city of Kazan.



Partially mobilized men had enough of the treatment and poor equipment, and decided to head back home.

I have no doubt that this will be made into a movie one day soon. Even the Dirty Dozen weren’t this scummy.

x 2/ Olga Romanova, head of the "Russia Behind Bars" prisoner rights group, says that the new Wild Company is based in Donetsk and is headed by Alexei Dikiy, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the 'Donetsk People's Republic'. Dikiy led DNR police units in the battle of Mariupol. — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) December 1, 2022

x 8/ It's likely that the Wagner Wild Company will be the same. Romanova notes that it follows prison rather than military rules: "strict hierarchy, total disobedience to secular authority." She says: — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) December 1, 2022

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

x In this intercepted call, wife of a moblised soldier tells about suspicious death causes assigned to deceased mobiks coming back home: "Fell asleep and didn't wake up". He agrees and adds many didn't even leave the training camps due to being stabbed or sexually assaulted. pic.twitter.com/OAFJxLZSEZ — Dmitri (@wartranslated) December 3, 2022

Can you blame the guy for wanting to wear the best gear available?
