Gen Waldemar Skrzypczak, also a former junior defence minister, complained that a loose-lipped prime minister had revealed too much to the Russians and that his remarks risked the safety of the soldiers involved.

Speaking to Polish tabloid Fakt, Skrzypczak said that Johnson had revealed “a military secret” and that “bad words are on the lips” when he gave details of the Ukrainian training plan on a trip to India last week.

“Military training is a matter of the army, in such a situation secret. Let a man restrain himself and think before he says such things,” said the former general to the newspaper, which described his tone as irritated in an article from Friday.

i mean is it really that big a deal? it's already been made public that ukrainian forces are/were training with american forces on howitzers, why is this suddenly a huge problem?

On the visit, Johnson had revealed that Ukrainians were being taught how to use Nato-standard weapons in both Poland and the UK. “I can say that we are currently training Ukrainians in Poland in the use of anti-aircraft defence, and actually in the UK in the use of armoured vehicles,” he said.

That project was initially under the USAAF before being transferred to the USN

#

It was proposed by a loony dentist from Pennsylvania

#

In his letter, Adams stated that the bat was the "lowest form of animal life", and that, until now, "reasons for its creation have remained unexplained". He went on to espouse that bats were created "by God to await this hour to play their part in the scheme of free human existence, and to frustrate any attempt of those who dare desecrate our way of life." Of Adams, Roosevelt remarked, "This man is not a nut. It sounds like a perfectly wild idea but is worth looking into."

It was transferred to the Navy after the bats burned an air base down

worst take of the day (in the replies to above tweet)

#

war is always evil

#

its sometimes a necessary evil, to defend yourself or another

#

but its always an evil

# split aurora but its always an evil

are you arguing against russia or ukraine not being evil? i think it’s really hard to say the ukrainian war effort is automatically evil even though it’s 100% justified and their only realistic option. like yeah, it’s tragic that this is the path they had to take, but it’s not really evil for them to do so

split aurora
#

Murdering someone is wrong, and it is evil. But if it is in genuine proportional self defence, then it is a justified and acceptable evil

#

Fighting a true war of defence

#

as ukraine is doing

#

its justifiable and right

#

but war is always an evil

#

albeit one sometimes justified and necessary, in our very imperfect world

#

but calling war in and of itself not evil, implies the harm is not in war, rather other surrounding factors

#

and that argument can be used to justify far too much imperialism and bloodshed

this distinction may seem trivial or petty, but I think it is significant and important to make

not to mention that many main Russian channels spend many, many hours peddling Kremlin's own worldview

Hmm, she seems to have a reasonable reason (Not to say I support it, just that I can see why you'd believe it, it's more then just "Ukraine bad")

#

she claims that the bill would violate the 4th Amendment

#

in that it grants the president the power of seizures, without requiring warrants

copper monolith
#

The Fourth Amendment originally enforced the notion that “each man’s home is his castle”, secure from unreasonable searches and seizures of property by the government. It protects against arbitrary arrests, and is the basis of the law regarding search warrants, stop-and-frisk, safety inspections, wiretaps, and other forms of surveillance, as well as being central to many other criminal law topics and to privacy law.

on a related note, if their “next generation” weapons like the t-14 and su-57 weren’t purely items of propaganda, they definitely are now. now that russia has torpedoed its own economy and no longer has access to parts needed for building their weapons, it’s very unlikely that any of these systems will go into serial production at any point in the foreseeable future

So it's from a bit back but i wonder, is it possible that ghost of kiev was a mistranslation from ghostS of kiev? i dunno how plurals work in Ukrainian, just know that there are other languages where a mistake in plurality is easy to sneak in with translations

scarlet crown
#

no, there's no such mistake

#

ghost of kyiv was always one

grand pier
#

but as we now know it supposedly refers to the entire air battalion that protects the skies above and around kiev, though i guess when used to refer to a collective like that you can possibly use ghost instead of ghosts?

scarlet crown
#

no, i think you're trying to look too deep into this

#

it does refer to the battalion, ghost of kyiv was their personification

#

all of them in one imaginary pilot

#

thus the ghost of kyiv and not ghosts

By the way, Poland became the first country among the possible guarantors of Ukraine, which clearly expressed its position."

Польша официально заявила, что не поддержит никаких мирных договоров, если те будут предусматривать сдачу хоть каких-то украинских территорий. Кстати, Польша стала первой страной среди возможных гарантов Украины, которая чётко высказала свою позицию.

Basically, there was the Tartu Peace Treaty in 1920, which established the borders between the newly-independent Estonia and Soviet Russia

#

Now, as we all know, the Soviet Union occupied Estonia later on and when the Soviet Union dissolved, certain areas (around 5% of Estonia‘s total area) were left under Russian control

#

To be specific, those areas include a couple cities near Narva and near Pskov with a population of maybe around 30k people

#

This was an issue for quite a while, as especially nationalist parties wanted them back, but there were border agreements later on as countries have to settle their border disputes before being allowed into the EU

#

As there are still certain issues regarding those towns and sea borders, new agreements keep popping up every once in a while and what EKRE (a far-right party) tried to do was try to pass a resolution to not sign the latest treaty, and that resolution was rejected today

#

EKRE are a bunch of idiots anyways, I don’t believe this is a mainstream opinion in any way

Ah yes, let's ask our best thinkers

#

the dead

hollow hollow
#

i've been hearing a lot of reports recently that russia has lost over 1000 tanks so far. assuming that's true, just about 1 in every 3 russian tanks in active service before the war are now destroyed or owned by ukraine

#

realistically they can't keep up these losses for much longer

scarlet crown
#

this is the most recent losses report

#

wait no

#

what day is it

hollow hollow
#

may 3rd here

scarlet crown
#

found ut

#

so yea, 1000+ by our intel

limber wagon
hollow hollow
#

it's also worth noting that while tanks are easy to replace, tank crews aren't as disposable. that's why nato tanks like abrams emphasize crew survivability

#

russian tanks however don't really care about crew survivability

scarlet crown
#

I wouldn't be surprised if they sent understaffed crews too

hollow hollow

seriously tho who thought it was a good idea to put the t-72's ammo directly beneath the crew

no idea

that's like sitting a top of a time bomb

This threw me off for a bit lol

i get that it wasn't as vulnerable when it was first designed as it is now, since javelin and nlaw didn't exist back then, but russian ammo is so volatile that it's probably still extremely dangerous compared to the blowout panel storage on abrams and leopard 2

i get that the carousel is convenient and easier and all but still

i mean i'm not tank design expert, but i would assume that basically an automated version of the abrams storage system would be safer

#

open door -> load round -> close door

#

blowout panels make the crew safer

lilac sparrow
#

Having dedicated storage holds for the rounds makes the overall size of the tank bigger unless they sacrifice firepower, a larger silhouette makes the tank easier to hit

split aurora
#

also significantly more mechanical complexity in a system like that

#

The only reason western countries can get away with it is because we dedicate more to our maintenance and our air supperiority

Missiles were quickly adapted by the UK to be fired from the ground specially for the Ukrainian army- first and foremost due to the lack of Ukrainian air launch platforms which can use these missiles.

We haven't seen the ground launch platform yet.

i'm kinda confused about it tho because i heard it was being sold as an anti-ship missile, but it's way too tiny to do any real damage to anything besides a patrol boat

A RAF RC-135W Rivet Joint has joined the USAF Global Hawk. I have never seen a British Rivet Joint intelligence plane in that particular corner of the Black Sea, nor flying this particular pattern. It's getting more likely that something happened with RFS Admiral Makarov.

From April 26: @SotaVision found that Russia’s Foreign Ministry ordered 175k new diplomatic passports, though the agency employs just 15k people, only 5k of whom qualify as diplomats. Most likely a ploy to allow FSB agents & sanctioned officials to evade travel restrictions.

Under the lend-lease law, Ukraine will be able to get military equipment faster, bypassing bureaucratic procedures. The name echoes the World War II-era measure that allowed the U.S. to quickly resupply the Allies in the fight against Nazi Germany.

The Kremlin is establishing economic, governmental, and informational control over occupied Ukrainian territory, indicating that Russia may be preparing to create a series of Russian proxy “people’s republics” and/or to directly annex some occupied Ukrainian territory.”

qrt "Number of Russian tanks added to the list today: 18.

Number of tanks operated by the Netherlands: 18."

Regarding the fact that we leased our tanks from Germany: We got Germany to give us 18 Leopard 2A6s and have them pay for their maintenance 🇳🇱🔥

Meanwhile the rest of the world actually has to pay for its tanks.

Who are the losers now?

Berlin put Ukrainian flags on the same list as Russian imperialist symbols, including Z signs in support of Russian aggression and Saint George ribbons. Germany has been heavily criticized for its reluctance to help Ukraine since Russia started its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24.

Yeah, the "ban" is a ban on war related flags and music, specifically around the WW2 memorial. They want to keep the memorial a place of honouring fallen, rather then becoming a protest ground for a current war, on the graves of those who died in other wars
