The Centre today acknowledged that some Indians are entangled in Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine, stating that the government is coordinating with its Russian counterpart to facilitate their release.
Yesterday, reports emerged that dozens of Indians were allegedly duped into military service in Russia. The unsuspecting Indians were promised support jobs but were ultimately enlisted in the Russian army, receiving misleading translations of documents and undergoing military training against their initial understanding.
"We are aware that a few Indian nationals have signed up for support jobs with the Russian army. The Indian Embassy has regularly taken up this matter with the relevant Russian authorities for their early discharge. We urge all Indian nationals to exercise due caution and stay away from this conflict," said Randhir Jaiswal, external affairs spokesperson, in a statement today.

It was never in danger in closing.
The Army has long been vocal over plans to increased Abrams work in 2017, unveiling a plan back in 2015 to begin awarding contracts to General Dynamics to upgrade the Abrams to what’s called the System Enhancement Package Version 3 (SEPv3) version.

Footage has been released showing Russian Forces including Mechanized Infantry having entered the Center of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia Region, as Ukrainian Defenders have now reportedly Withdrawn from a Majority of Town as well as several Communities to the East in order to Secure a Fortified Defensive Line to the North against Relentless Attacks by the Russian Armed Forces.
The Russian Army breached Ukrainian defenses in Robotyne, seizing control of 40% of the village. Furthermore, Russians are advancing from the east, forcing the Ukrainian Army to initiate withdrawal from the salient.

The Pentagon tried to kill production there, Trump is the only reason we still have it.
Hey we finally agree on something. IIRC if it had not have been for Trump's foreign military sales push Lima would have completed production of all orders placed prior to him taking office on 1/20/2017 and been idle sometime in mid-late 2018 IIRC. I am still pissed that Biden let the contract for 800 MBTs go to South Korea instead of the USA.

Tanks Come Roaring Back In Army Budget
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr. on February 02, 2015 at 11:17 PM
Four tracked vehicle programs and one wheeled vehicle enjoy significant ramp-ups in the 2016 request:
$368 million for upgrades to the M1 Abrams tank, up 50 percent from $237 million in fiscal 2015.
The M1 is built by General Dynamics in Lima, Ohio, at a plant Congress has been worried will close for lack of work. Legislators have repeatedly added money to M1 procurement to keep Lima running, so they’ll welcome this increase from the Army. Then, in 2017, Lima will get started on the long-awaited Engineering Change Proposal 1, a major package of M1 upgrades, and the anxiety about the factory should be over.

The Patriot launcher(s) they have on the front line. I’m now convinced they don’t just have one launcher truck somewhere doing all this damage. They have to have a few placed up close.

No. Poli Board went against mainstream opinion and was correct on:
1. Russian Collision being a hoax
2. Hunter Biden laptop being legit
3. George Floyd being a POS
4. Kyle Rittenhouse being innocent
5. J6 being an inside job
6. Covid being made in a lab
7. Masks not working
8. Vaccines being unsafe and ineffective
They deserve kudos for getting so many things right.

Thanks for letting me know, mate. I very rarely venture over to the Nutter Board because:
I used to, of course. Back in 2005, when I was still working full-time in politics and created my username here, it was actually possible to have a rational conversation over there, with people who lived in the real world.

Really went out on a limb with #3 and #4 when everyone with a brain knew that.
Just about everything else is a straight lie or wasn’t a conspiracy to begin with except the mask shite.

Theory #1: Washington, Brussels, Berlin, Kyiv, and the other places full of politicians finally learned how to keep their mouth shut and are letting the Russians find out Ukraine's F-16s have arrived the hard way.
Theory #2: Most of the Su34's have been shot down while on missions to launch missiles at Ukraine. Russian pilots are given the mission plans from their superiors. Russia has recently started using Starlink since its satellite communication capabilities suck. Starlink is letting the Pentagon see what comes and goes across the network in Russia. The Pentagon then warns Ukraine of an attack and tell Ukraine where the planes will be located when launching their missiles. Ukraine moves SAMs into place to intercept the plane before the missiles are launched.
Theory #3: Russian pilots are flying drunk.
Theory #4: The Ghost Kyiv has risen from the dead (sarcasm)
Theory #5: Somebody in the Red Air Force headquarters spilt the salt.

I may not have recalled correctly.

That's OK. I can't remember details from that far back without looking it up.

You’ve seen how hard it’s been for us to increase ammunition production. Similar problem. The Pentagons cuts would have killed that plant. There would have been so much knowledge loss. It would take years to rebuild the mechanical ability that team had.
The Russians stopped building large surface warfare ships in the 90s because of the post Soviet economic collapse, when they reversed course in the 2000s and tried to repair the damage, they realized they had lost the ability to build them. The trained workforce was gone and there was no quick and easy way to build it back.
