More of the good stuff coming Ukraine’s way, including the possibility of FA-18 Hornet fighters from Finland.

x In cooperation with the United States, Norway will provide Ukraine with two NASAMS firing units. They will come in addition to the two firing units provided by the United States last fall.

x Sending Finnish old fighter jets to 🇺🇦 could be discussed.

This sounds like a good deal, depending of course on how much money Pakistan wants.

During its huge missile attack, Russians also hit a transit stop in Kherson — another war crime to add to the huge pile.

x In addition to the missile attack overnight, Russia also launched an artillery strike on a public transport stop in Kherson, killing 3 people. https://t.co/D5HrJUEWZe — NOËL 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) March 9, 2023

Throw some dirt on it.

Apparently that’s the fire-suppression system in this Russian BMP.

Steaming piles of bullshit normally don’t age well.

This is an interesting Twitter thread about all those videos made by mobilized Russians complaining about being treated like meat.
