Been consumed by work the last two weeks, but just caught up on the thread. Idk if I’ve missed messages that were later scrubbed by the time I have now caught up, but there was a lot of riff raft and talk of the thread moving to the PT.
If the thread was on the PT I’d have just given up this exercise of trying to catch up and missed out on some of the real info shared. For what it’s worth, and I understand not much, I really appreciate this remaining on the OT and the quality of posting by the regular contributors.

Pretty cool view, but sucks it’s at the expense of the Ukrainians
No way a passenger airplane flew that close. I call shenanigans.

According to the comments, those are just factory smoke stacks not explosions.

Didn’t read the comments and should have. Apologies. Removed the detail from post.

Sorry I wasn't knocking your post, just adding what some comments said.

No apologies needed. Didn’t take it that way. Glad you did add. One of the best things about this thread is the regulars will remove posts that we find are inaccurate to keep us all honest as best we can.

No it’s not street legal. It doesn’t have an inspection sticker or truck nuts.

Any thaw just for a day and Feb 2022 happens all over again. Lots of marshes/swamps at the border.
The swamps and the marshes were not the problem. The Russians were able to lay pontoon bridges and corduroy roads through the swamps. The problem came from the Russians being bottled up on Ukraine’s shitty roads and forced to move in a predictable manner since there were only a few roads like E95 are the P31 that could support the Russian troop movements. Which made it easy for Ukraine to defend.
If Mighty Russia’s greatest ally come to his senses. The Russian military will be invincible. How can the Ukrainians hope to stop T62s and General Winter. All Hail Vladimer the Conqueror!

Ukraine needs to sneak a few S300s closer to the front lines and surprise those Tu-95s while they are flying across the Sea of Azov.

I don't think you need nuts when you have a 5 and a half foot long dick that spits .50 BMG.

It’s a war thread not a political thread.

Putin insisted that Russia would not ship any oil under the West's new cap. LOL: LINK
Russian crude being shipped to India under G7 price cap
Russian crude being shipped to India under G7 price cap

Russian crude oil is being shipped to India on tankers insured by western companies, in the first sign Moscow has reneged on its vow to block sales under the G7-imposed price cap.
At least seven Russian crude oil cargoes have been loaded on to western-insured tankers since the price cap started on December 5, according to Financial Times analysis of shipping and insurance records, despite President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Moscow would not deal with any country observing the cap.
Under the cap introduced this month, buyers of Russian crude oil can only access western services such as insurance and broking, which are the bedrock of the global seaborne trade in oil, if they attest that they have paid less than $60 a barrel.
If Moscow is willing to let buyers ship its heavily discounted crude on western-insured tankers to markets in Asia, it may ease industry concerns about shortages in the new year.
The FT identified the seven tankers using data on cargo from Kpler, a freight data and analytics company. It only includes vessels where there is high confidence that they are shipping crude oil that has not come from Kazakhstan, which shares export infrastructure with Russia.
The FT has also verified that they still have current insurance coverage from a western insurer. Two vessels reorganised their insurance in the past week, making changes that allowed them to engage in the trade.
Essential, the Singaporean operator of the Ruby Phoenix, one of the seven vessels, said: “We have from our counterparts the necessary attestation that the cargo in question complies with the price cap regulations.”
The owners of the other six ships did not respond to requests for comment.
quote:
The seven tankers, which in total are carrying about 5mn barrels of crude and departed from Russia’s Baltic ports, have listed their destinations as refineries in India, which has become one of the largest buyers of Russian oil since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February.
Indian refiners Reliance and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, which shipping data suggest are buyers of some of the cargoes, did not respond to requests for comment.
The G7 price cap was designed to keep Russian oil flowing to avert supply shortages, but at a price of $60 a barrel or lower in order to squeeze the Kremlin’s revenues.

What is a good guess of Russia's average break even on crude? I know Citizen has mentioned it but I have forgotten.

You can really see a lot of similarities between Russian media and… others.
