BBC: Russia lures Cubans to army with offers of high pay, Russian passport
by Dmytro Basmat May 5, 2024 7:36 AM
Leaked documents reveal that Russia has been coercing Cuban citizens into the Russian Armed Forces with salaries of approximately $2,000 per month, in addition to offers of a Russian passports within months of signing up, a BBC investigation revealed on May 4.
According to the BBC, hundreds of Cubans have allegedly joined Russia's Armed Forces since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, online leaks reveal.
The BBC investigation further revealed social media posts suggesting some Cubans are receiving Russian passports within months of signing up for the Armed Forces, a theory that was corroborated by local media reports suggesting that citizenship to newly-recruited Cuban fighters would be granted "in the future."
Russia continues to increase its campaign to recruit foreigners in neighboring countries and exploited migrant workers for its war against Ukraine to avoid domestic mobilization. Foreign recruits from Nepal, Cuba, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Somalia, as well as additional central Asian and African countries, have served as primary targets for recruitment.
In January, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree allowing foreign nationals who join the Russian Armed Forces to be able to apply for Russian citizenship.

The USA to provide seekers for Ukraine’s JDAM-ER to defeat electronic warfare systems
The US Air Force has signed a contract with Scientific Applications and Research Associates for the acquisition of Home-on GPS seekers.
The JDAM-ER kits, which are mounted on bombs, will be equipped with these seekers.
Plans to provide Ukraine with JDAM-ERs with new seekers arose as Western precision bombs reportedly suffer from Russian GPS jamming systems.
The Home-on GPS seeker should enable Ukrainian JD?M-ERs to defeat GPS jammers.
Essentially, this will turn one of the weapons most affected by this counter into a weapon used to directly engage it.
This follows growing reports that Russian jamming is seriously reducing the effectiveness of GPS-guided munitions supplied by allies, including JDAM-ER.

This is a wild video, this guy almost dies at least 5x from FPV drones and an artillery strike at the last second of the video.

That's a real world proving ground for our systems, their strengths and weaknesses. I bet those powerful jammers would make excellent anti-radiation targets.

My brother in Christ, do you really want to trade twitter posts of violence in this conflict?
Do you have any idea what the ratio of Russian videos to Ukrainian videos is?

He’s following a script beset to him. No reason to engage.

Didn't you post a gif of Putin and Trump in a car wearing shades and smiling while the speedometer on their car was showing WAR! ?
Was that you? I could swear that was you...

But hey, I’m sure Zapp Brannigan’s Killbot Strategy will work in the end:
The Killbot Strategy + glide bombs is basically Russian offensive tactics at this point.
FFS, Russia is rushing people forward in ATVs.

Key Takeaways:
The Russian military reportedly redeployed a battalion of the 76th Airborne (VDV) Division to Kursk Oblast as part of a larger ongoing Russian effort to gather an operationally significant force for a possible future Russian offensive operation against northeastern Ukraine and Kharkiv City.
The Russian military is reportedly preparing and forming the Northern Grouping of Forces from elements of the Leningrad Military District (LMD) to primarily operate in the Belgorod-Kharkiv operational direction.
US officials continue to signal their support for new Ukrainian counteroffensive operations in 2025, although ISW continues to assess that Ukraine should contest the theater-wide initiative as soon as possible because ceding the theater-wide initiative to Russia for the entirety of 2024 will present Russia with several benefits.
European intelligence agencies reportedly warned their governments that Russia is planning to conduct “violent acts of sabotage” across Europe as part of a “more aggressive and concerted effort” against the West.
The Kremlin-controlled Russian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (ROC MP) seized on the Orthodox Easter holiday on May 5 to further its efforts to garner domestic support for the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine.
Russian forces recently advanced near Kupyansk and Robotyne.
Bureaucratic issues continue to constrain frontline Russian units’ ability to conduct strikes on Ukrainian targets.

Happy Easter comrades. The mighty Russian military is making advances and soon the Orthodox cross will rise over the Hagia Sofia again. Moscow will take its rightful place as the 3rd Rome and the world will be saved from LGBT globalists.

I guess the first Rome is Rome. What’s the second Rome?

Tho I wish it were so, this seems rather optimistic - namely counter-offensive operations.....
