Translation using google translate on the image:

At the moment, Ukrainian formations have made another attempt at a massive strike on the Crimean peninsula.
To carry out strikes, both UAVs are used to destroy ground targets, and unmanned boats are used to attack ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Another goal is the Crimean Bridge.

Judging by the explosions in the vicinity of Feodosia, one of the targets could have been the patrol boat “Sergei Kotov”, which was in that area. It is unknown whether there were hits or whether explosions occurred as a result of the destruction of the BECs.

“What I say, goes” might be the proper intention, I was being a little facetious in my initial translation but I decided against it.

I personally would have liked to see a little more green in the broader German ambitions, and more push back against the Agri lobby.

In terms of the war the self imposed constraints keep puzzling me and frustrating others. I just hope that Europe will now get serious on a European defense sector that is able to be self sufficient and can sufficiently standardize stuff across the various armies. In the mean time, Germany ordering another 100 Taurus from the manufacturer and sending Ukraine 2 batches of 50 would be helpful. No individual weapon is a game changer, but taking out that stupid bridge will be one.

I do not know how much cross pollination there is between Europe and the Russo-Ukranian war communities. But this youtuber has a background in defense economics and has in-depth analysis of a wide range of subjects in the field. This week an update and analysis of the long war is posted and I thought some people that would normally not see this would enjoy these insights.

My german writing is not very good so I won’t butcher your language.
I considered translating the title to “I’m the chancellor, I tell it like it is”.

I consider it a shame that Olaf refuses to release the bulls from their stable. I sort of understand his reluctance, but then I do not.

  • Usage on Russia proper. So far Ukranians have kept their word on usage of NATO weapons against Russia proper. Future compliance is assured with future aid.
  • Deployment of German soldiers. You either train Ukranians to do it (it’s not rocket science, LOL) or you have your soldiers do it remote. And if you really have to have people in country, ill bet dollars to donuts if you ask for volunteers, some techs familiar with Taurus will step up.

I thought the leaked audio was hilarious, Soldiers discussing what soldiers are paid to discuss (options, requirements, risks). The leak itself is either monumentally stupid, or intentional. Im still hoping on the latter, but definately not discounting the former.

So they oppose aid to Ukraine because they need to protect themselves, and then are surprised other European countries allow them to handle their own defense.

A lot of the more modern NVR systems can be accessed from the internet. So you can use these.

Synology has security station on their NAS systems (although there is some licensing nowadays depending on model and number of cameras.

Ubiquity also offers local storage for their system, that also offers a bellcam (like ring) and different in and outdoor camera models.

Good luck!

No, if they play internationally they cannot. Telling individuals what they can and cannot talk about is another thing though.

21.000 people in a city of 13 million. that sounds like a rounding error.

Purchase Power Parity only works domestically. Once you venture out in the world, things cost what they cost, no matter how little your populace makes.
