    If you are a criminal you are not allowed to serve in the military according to the russian constitution!? And Putrids mob made it a criminal offence to speak out/ protest against the war..... it is highly likely many drafted in will do as little as possible to get them selves killed .. hence the term ...easy surrender ... in Russia this means surrounded no bullets just a stick on the ground to fight with ... so you have to attack the enemy with his machine gun and handgrenades and try to club him to death ........ more likely shoot yourself in a non dangerous place and lie still... GET CAPTURED .........

    IT WILL take to November to get organised for the main "battallion" of new recruits ... they wont send them a couple at a time ...... if it to be believed about kit then the cold could be a real turning point. Temp in Ukraine gets down to 5c warm day -10c for most of 6 -8 weeks!

    It could be ideal for them - give themselves up to the Ukrainians and they've escaped!! Cheaper than paying £44k for a plane ticket!!!

    There are reports of Russian men of fighting age flooding into Georgie and Finland apparently, with long tailbacks into Georgia and some drivers abandoning their cars and crossing through the checkpoint on foot.
    Flights to Dubai and other nations that still allow Russians to travel are also being booked solid.

    Taken from the BBC website - if you believe it
    As we've reported, 16 people detained at protests against mobilisation were given a summons to report for military duty, according to Russian human rights group OVD-Info.

    Many Russian commentators have warned that, as of yesterday, people who have taken part in unsanctioned protests risk more than jail and could be sent to the front in Ukraine instead.

    President Vladimir Putin ordered part mobilisation yesterday, meaning 300,000 military reservists will be called up.

    More than 1,300 people have been arrested for protesting the order, according to OVD-Info.


    It seems the Russian people might just be waking up to the truth.

    In August 2022, Russia’s Defense Ministry said three MiG-31 fighters fitted for Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles arrived at the base as part of “additional measures of strategic deterrence”. Russia said the aircraft would be on 24/7 alert. The missiles were not fitted when they flew in, indicating these were transported separately.

    3 weeks late finding this...........
    MOSCOW — The Russian military said Thursday it deployed aircraft armed with state-of-the-art hypersonic missiles to the country’s Kaliningrad region, a move that comes amid soaring tension with the West over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
    Russia’s Defense Ministry said three MiG-31 fighters with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles arrived at the Chkalovsk air base in the Baltic Sea territory as part of “additional measures of strategic deterrence.”
    It means the missiles were transported by sea or a dodgy flight pattern! ... however could they also have been hidden on a train from Russia via Belarus through Lithuania hidden in one of the limestone trains????

    A great many of the younger generation " the brain drainers" left pretty soon after the war started. This younger generation including those of age to qualify for call up are the protesters .. so likely some of age to be on the list of ex military due for call up might be those earmarked.

    Protests at the moment are not big enough or strong enough ... although posted on the wrong thread the actions in Iran are like a pan of water put on to boil ..... over an open flame! .... until you get enough fuel added to it the water will simmer ... find a couple of nice chunks of wood and it then boils to the point of spilling over.

    We can always dream that the serious trouble makers of this world are starting to fall from grace and we can return to normalcy. As realred said Iran is now entering a phase of kickback from its citizens and Trump is getting into more legal reckoning by the day. For the world to move forward in peace the people holding power in some countries, or in Trump's case trying to create his own autocracy, need to be ousted by whatever means available before the world falls into the pit of tyranny. Currently the entire world's future is hanging by a thread and how nice it is to hear more countries from other parts of the globe voicing their disapproval of Putin's actions at the United Nations. I know all of this will mean nothing to Putin as he is fast becoming a cornered rat capable of anything, including some kind of nuclear retaliation, and when that happens we should all be concerned.

    plenty activity today in the Baltic, currently a POSEIDON heading toward there. 2 lots of guardrail off Kaliningrad [population ]489K ] ... USUAL FLURRY of C17'S etc cargo planes and a few strato tankers keeping everything topped up.
    A very disconcerting video now posted of dozens of men being herded into transport to go and fight ... seems relatively calm now but what happens when a few are pronounced killed in action ... Bearing in mind there was a zero volunteer rate to sign up on Monday the enforced call up means these are all likely "forced"
    Security council, Russia couldnt stand the truth of its constant reminding of the aggression/war crimes being thrown at it, and LAVROV? WALKED OUT shame China on the council or else could have taken a vote to expel Russia from security council?? I guess they left before the reminder of what signed in January 2022........Russia joined the other permanent members of the Security Council in signing a statement affirming that 'nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought'." ..........

    Sergei Lavrov did manage to accuse some Security Council members of trying to impose a false narrative on Moscow's operations in Ukraine, and restating allegations that ethnic Russians had been persecuted by Ukrainian government forces.
    "There's an attempt today to impose on us a completely different narrative to show Russian aggression as the origin of all the tragedy," Mr Lavrov said.

    "This ignores the fact that for over eight years the Ukrainian army and fighters from the nationalist formations [ is this indication of the AZOV BRIGADE? ] killed and continue to kill inhabitants of [the east Ukrainian region of] Donbas with impunity simply because they refused to recognise the results of the coup d'etat in Kyiv. They decided to uphold their rights, which were guaranteed by the Ukrainian Constitution, including the right to freely use Russian, their mother tongue."
    Russia attempts to justify its invasion by saying it is fighting neo-Nazis, a claim widely dismissed by the international community, as well as resisting Nato expansion. ..

    PUTRID as we all know [ [ dont know him to speak to ! ] Stated the last sentence along with NATO going to attack them or suchlike as his excuse and to stop Ukraine being part of Nato ... However over the years Nato whilst "expanding at the request of countries to join as a member of a protective umbrella" has actually shrunk, with less feet on the ground. He has now added a further near 2000 mile border [to police if he feels it is a threat] through his actions. He will certainly know the true feelings of the outside world if he been watching coverage of the UN MEETINGS If the likes of presidents or RULERS [ of China / Turkey/ UAE/ France/Germany ] HAVENT ALREADY TOLD HIM.

    What a twist if Putrid was ill [ or asassinated ] and was dead, a lookalike hypnotised stooge is being flaunted in the public eye by rogue generals and members of the government? trained to make speech's parrot fashion ...........

    Another prominent Russian has had an accident after visiting a building site to inspect a railing installation and subsequently fell to his death. Apparently the railings had not been installed which led to his stumbling and falling. An absolute tragedy and I hope the person who decided to not install the railings gets a reprimand for their lackadaisical attitude. Yeah right, how many accidents like this can one country endure before the population wakes up to what's confronting them? I saw an article yesterday whereby one of Navalny's associates, living in Finland, said that the West needs to sanction the people on the fringes of Putin's inner circle rather than those closer to him. He believes that sanctioning those on the outer edges of the real in-crowd by telling them the consequences of supporting Putin and hoping they can stir up anti war sentiments in the Russian population.

    Russian businessman Ivan Pechorin, the top manager for the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, has been found dead in Vladivostok, the latest in a string of mysterious deaths among Russian executives.

    "On September 12, 2022, it became known about the tragic death of our colleague, Ivan Pechorin, Managing Director for the Aviation Industry of the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic," reads a statement from the company published Monday.
    Pechorin is at least the ninth prominent Russian businessmen to have reportedly died by suicide or in unexplained accidents since late January, with six of them associated with Russia's two largest energy companies.
    Four of those six were linked to the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom or one of its subsidiaries, while the other two were associated with Lukoil, Russia's largest privately owned oil and gas company.
    Earlier this year, the company took the unusual public stance of speaking out against Russia's war in Ukraine, calling for sympathy for the victims, and for the end of the conflict.
    Lukoil's chairman Ravil Maganov died at the beginning of September after falling out of the window of a hospital in Moscow, according to Russian state news agency TASS.

    Cant find anything about the handrail one?

    The handrail item was on BBC World news this morning over here but now I can't find it at all. Perhaps it was incorrect news release but if I remember the man was something to do with aviation (minister?) and he was apparently asked to approve the railing in a new building - not quite sure what aviation knowledge was needed for that inspection but perhaps someone thought he knew something about flying through the air. I smell a rat somewhere.

    At least we can expect an honourable election today in the Donbas.:emoticon-0105-wink:

    Vladimir Putin has fired the general charged with managing the Russian military's faltering logistics operations in Ukraine.
    Gen Dmitry Bulgakov, a deputy defence minister, was removed from his role on Saturday, the defence ministry said on Telegram.
    The ministry said the 67-year old was "released" to transfer into a new role.
    He will be replaced by Col Gen Mikhail Mizintsev, who managed Moscow's brutal siege at the port city of Mariupol.

    So Putrid has his own "extra special egoist agenda" he is setting himself up as the point on the pyramid that he doesnt do as the generals/ advisors do or say he is stating he commands the actions and troops on the ground. As you read back [ I do a lot reading of past events etc ] as some of you may do you can build a patchwork quilt of history involving Russia in it's various forms over the past 4-500 years. Every single one of them has resulted in a failure territorially or by deaths of 10's of 000's of RUSSIANS. You can go right back to Catherine the great and see that failure suceeds a "successful" step.
    Hitler is slowly falling back into second place with the situation now developing in modern history and todays events. It seems Putrid wish's to put himself into history as the worst evil tyrant rather than the person who had the opportunity to make Russia a member of the top 3 nations in the world.
    Before his breakdown, must have had a mental breakdown? Russia was slowly becoming a rich civilized nation. It had [ has ] vast reserves of fossil fuels [ as did middle east countries, UAE etc, years ago, and used it to become even richer and its peoples having a joyous life ]. Putrid driven by his criminally molecular brain could not adapt beyond a short attention spell of being "good" rather he became a victim egged on by the greed and power of money and control.
    Will it be good thing Putrid "commanding and making the decisions on his "war" against Ukraine ... and tactically fall short, using vast hordes of soldiers as history has done in the past and still lost...........
    Ukraine battle wise is quiet [ relatively ] at the moment but there has been rather a lot of cargo planes heading toward the Black Sea area in the past 2 weeks .................. maybe the 27th will be a day for the history books but for what?

    false flag day Hotel hit and a ex Ukranian MP [switched to Russian side! ] killed more likely by an assassination squad hit or Russian false flag. Amazing how these last 2 or 3 events have had minimum collateral damage ... bit like planted a minimal amount of C4 ....
    In Kherson south of river there is an active resistance movement, targeting and marking Russian/ pro Russian targets.
    Loads of activity today across EU/ Black sea coast / Baltic. currently a plane [ german] has been operating [ awacs type ] on the maritime coastal limit, along with a USA Blackhawk .. A P8 also showed up ... Osprey still active central Scotland. Iceland staging post been busy... and a Polish plane has flown across Blacksea to kazakstan! /Uzbekistan ... a very busy day indeed ................

    On that note did anyone send up planes to monitor it's progress over EU territory? If that kind of flight is left unchecked then we are close to the thin end of the acceptability wedge when it comes down to Putin provocation. All countries need to agree to bug these planes out of NATO airspace as I'm sure Russia would take a more serious approach to anyone flying over their territory. I know Putin wants only his rules to apply but at some point the West has to step up and be counted, even if it puts the world at risk, because sitting back and taking this ongoing crap from some bellicose monster will achieve absolutely nothing and play right into the wrong hands. The world is on a knife edge and sooner or later someone on the right side of the fence has to get some balls.

    you learn something every day! couldnt place Dagestan, used to be Chechyna! well it seems a part of it A RELIGIOUS HOTBED

    Once it was Chechnya, today it is the republic of Dagestan on the Caspian Sea that is the most explosive place in Russia - and in Europe.
    There are bomb attacks almost daily, shootouts between police and militants, tales of torture and of people going missing.
