The Ukrainian Mole Hunt Rolls On!

If this is real then no one is above suspicion. If it ain't then we're seeing a power/money grab by Zelensky!

Germany does what Germany does...it cancels many modernization programs

Once again Germany depends on others for its defense while it pockets the fruits of others work. How? The USA, Poland, France, UK and others are all increasing defense spending despite inflation. Germany sits back while others bear the burden. Typical. Oh and for the Germans on this blog, spare me your outrage. This is pathetic.

The legendary Marine commander with the red backpack 🎒 "Struna" known for his skills at Mariupol offensive

* Before the clowns show up and start talking about supporting Russia, I'm only posting this because its interesting. Didn't hear much about Marines on either side (except for the fight over the disgusting little island that was mostly an air/sea battle) during the fighting in Mariupol. Except for the fight at the Steel Plant we're getting few details on ANY ground combat. Its been all about the tech and the evolving demands for weapons...first Turk drones, then switchblades, then MLRS and now anti-air...

To Defend Ukraine, It Is Time to Strike Iran - 19FortyFive.com

 via 19FortyFive.com

Now enter Iran, purveyor of the weapons that are currently the most utilized tools in Putin’s war crimes against civilians, cities, electric grids, hospitals, and public playgrounds. To replace Russia’s dwindling arsenal, Iran is supplying a variety of missiles and drones. One of the most effective is the Shahed-136 kamikaze drone used to attack civilian targets in Kyiv. Reporting suggests even Iranian drone instructors have joined the fight in the Kherson area. The use of these weapons on civilian targets for psychological warfare, perhaps even by Iranian artillerymen themselves in this new, internationalized war, makes Iran an accomplice in Russia’s war crimes.


One “necessary and proportional” response would logically aim directly at Russia, attacking the Russian units and other sources of drone strikes and other missile barrages. These, however, are hard to locate and destroy.


Another permissible defensive reaction would be to attack the source of the death-dealing weapons: the Iranian assets, facilities, and supply chains responsible for the production and provision of these war-crimes tools. Legitimate targets range from manufacturing plants and logistics supply bases to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership responsible for the supply program. While the West’s go-to reprisal is economic sanctions – a measure also contemplated by R2P – that is an approach with a long timeline. It does not save Ukrainian lives today, and there comes a time when the policy response must be military.

Read the rest of this insanity here.

Dude really wants to start a world war!  Can you imagine?  Still getting reports of Poland sending forces to the border of Belarus, the 101st is in the news for deploying to Europe for the first time since WW2 and now this? 

These people really want that fight. 

I hope they realize what they're asking for.

The Squad seems to be running into a bit of trouble with it's base!

 

I find this interesting. Seems as if the Squad is in a bit of trouble with it's base. It's not the economy but morality! Stunning and a bit exciting!

“Schräge Musik!" via World War 2 Jets Instagram

 

Bomber Command attacked Berlin full force in January 1944 but Bf 110s and other night fighters equipped with SN-2 radar and using free style tactics caused havoc. In early 1944 152 Lancasters were lost only on a few raids to Berlin alone! In January 1944 Lancasters shot down actually exceeded production for the month! Flying a Bf 110G-4 Paul Zorner shot down 22 British bombers in the winter. The Schräge Musik cannons made devastating kills.

One Lancaster crewman describes such an attack as follows:
“The first indication of the nightfighters presence was a stream of tracer from below our aircraft port quarter. The target was a Lancaster flying 100ft higher than us, on the same heading as our aircraft and located approx 50 yds off our port bow. In less than two seconds both wing tanks of the Lancaster were ablaze. The night fighter was still not seen by our rear gunner.”

“A second attack was made almost simultaneously by the night fighter on a Lancaster that was some 100ft above our altitude on the same heading but at our starboard bow at a distance of approx 50yds. The fate of the second Lancaster was exactly the same-both wings ablaze. The sky was now like day!”

“The attack also originated from below and astern of our aircraft. The fighter was still not seen by either myself in the mid upper turret or our rear gunner. A silver Messerschmitt then suddenly appeared immediately below the fuselage, slightly off our starboard beam, 20ft below our altitude. I immediately took action to engage him with my own guns but he was too close and I was unable to depress my weapons sufficiently to bring his aircraft into my line of fire.”

The air battle of Berlin ended in March 1944 at a cost of 649 bombers, 489 Lancasters and 4,340 aircrew dead. The bombers dropped 33,000 tons of bombs but the German night fighters lowered the death toll to 10,305. This would not be a repeat of Hamburg.
