And yet, warriors are born.

At the beginning of the SMO, all the fighters at the front could be called volunteers, because there were a lot of options for "five hundred". Now we are working with those who, for one reason or another, ended up at the front, and their choice was not always simple and obvious.

So, I noticed that being in the same conditions, receiving the same training and supplies, some turn into dogs of war, while others are still little different from civilians. This, of course, does not detract from their feat, but also suggests that some simply cannot quickly navigate the battlefield. Not everyone can storm and break forward under machine-gun fire.

So where am I going? We need to improve the recruiting system. Too often "gamers" who know how to fly FPV drones write in a personal message that they are offered vacant positions as shooters and machine gunners. Because of this, valuable specialists who understand complex electronics are simply erased in the millstones of conflict. The situation is the same with signalmen, media workers and a dozen more complex professions. It is necessary to stop seeing a person as a number in the staff list. It is necessary to finally see talents in a fighter and ways to solve non-trivial tasks at the front. In short, you need to be more flexible, and then everything will work out.

🤔 Kyiv reports that Ukrainian Armed Forces are finding more and more Chinese components in Russian weapons

The talking head of the Zelensky office, Vladislav Vlasyuk, said that the seized weapons contain a lot of different electronics.🤦‍♂️

The type of weapon in question is not specified, but given that almost all UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are made from improvised means (purchased from a Chinese online store), another portion of criticism of Beijing is brewing😄

Xi Jinping sent off all European messengers, and even convinced Macron to go against the States. It is not surprising that such comments appear, especially from representatives of the Kyiv regime, whose leader was never honored with communication with the Chinese leader.

In Slavyansk (occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine), local air defense brought down a house

According to Ukrainian TG channels, a S-300 anti-aircraft missile hit a house in Slovyansk. This is recognized by the local Gauleiter, but, as usual, the blame is shifted to Russia.

Almost every day, the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration is attacked by the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In an attempt to intercept missiles intended for the Armed Forces, Ukrainian air defense is killing innocent people. Why does Taras pull his crooked hands to the control panel?

In the future, there will definitely be a monument to the victims of Ukrainian air defense.

Blogger/journalist Yuri Podolyaka

Translation and editing by Helio

Zin Note: The recording begins just as he's discussing the biathlete snipers. It can be a bit abrupt! Yuri has some interesting insights about the information offensive as well as some comments on Anatoly Shariy, a blogger who appears to be some sort of "pro-Russian" controlled opposition in the West.

Ukrainian channel Legitimny:

In the Donbass direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a shortage of ammunition and other necessary equipment and equipment. There is also a shortage of heavy equipment and artillery.
According to our data, the authorities justify such a shortage by the fact that there is a process of accumulation in the rear for a future offensive.
This approach of the OP increases the losses in the manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on US threats of sanctions over lack of concessions to opposition: Gringo spokesman threatened Venezuela. He stated that if Venezuela does not make progress in political dialogue with the corrupt, treacherous, corrupt sector of the unitary platform, they will retaliate and impose sanctions against our country. I tell the gringo press secretary, "Get the hell out!"

The Ukrainian art of weaving "anti-lancet" nets to protect their artillery from the constant arrivals of Lancet kamikaze drones is constantly progressing.

This time, the enemy hung a caponier for the car with a chain-link not only from above (which practically did not help), but also from the front - from the side where drones most often fly.

However, the Lancets have something to oppose to such measures. Although such shelters will reduce the effectiveness of the use of drones, the Lancet is equipped with a lidar , allowing it to initiate detonation of the warhead before contact with the target. Thus, a lightly armored self-propelled gun will still be hit by a cumulative jet.

An example of this is the recent destruction of the Buk-M1 air defense system, where the Lancet warhead was initiated even before it hit the air defense system itself, but the cumulative jet still reached the target and destroyed it.

Yakut fighters near Energodar showed how they confuse the enemy on the radio

A battalion formed of Yakut volunteers has been standing in Zaporozhye for six months now. They serve together with the airborne troops from Ussuriysk as part of the Far Eastern brigade. The task of this unit is the circular defense of the city of Energodar.

As it turned out, the Yakuts are excellent warriors - they are hunters, fishermen, and reindeer herders. According to the fighter with the call sign "Birch", the soldier's life for the Yakuts is in many ways familiar. Hunting and fishing are not exotic for them, but a normal part of life.

It is not uncommon to hear pure Yakut speech here. This is better than any encryption. No one will understand such a data exchange, even if the conversation is intercepted. The Yakut battalion tries to communicate with each other in this way.
