1/ Russian "werewolves in uniform", profiteering businessmen, and grifters on Telegram are keeping the war in Ukraine going for their own personal benefit, according to another vitrolic commentary from the popular Russian warblogger 'Fighterbomber'. ⬇️ Image
2/ Once again referring to Russia euphemistically as "Laos", the author writes:

"Well, I'll say a little more about Laos. Everything in a heap, so as not to get up twice."
3/ "Here at one meeting on the eve of the negotiations in Alaska between our leader and the American one, the toastmaster of the meeting said something like the following to his servants.
4/ "I really hope that they will not come to an agreement there, because the war must continue no matter what."

It is not customary for subordinates in the army to ask their superiors for explanations, because a ‘good’ subordinate is not one who asks questions.
5/ "A good subordinate is an obedient one. One who ‘obeys without question and on time’ ©

Therefore, the reasons and motives behind the toastmaster's phrase remain unknown.

War today, as always, is profitable for a huge number of people in Laos.
6/ "For werewolves in uniform, businessmen who jumped on government contracts, fifteen-per-cent emergency collectors [i.e. people who appeal for donations but take a 15% cut for themselves], representatives of the military-industrial complex,…
7/ …sergeants of yesterday who are now leading experts and commanders on Telegram, and a whole bunch of other people. Therefore, not everyone wants the war to end.
8/ "In general, this toastmaster of the meeting is partly right.

A military man must and is obliged to either fight or prepare for war. Of course, himself. Personally.
9/ "If he craves war in order to climb higher in the military hierarchy over the corpses of his subordinates, then that is one kind of thirst for war.

Such people are easy to find. Today, they abuse the phrase ‘at any cost!’
10/ "Just like their grandfathers. Like ‘we can do it again.’

But the situation was somewhat different for their grandfathers. Back then, it really was ‘at any cost.’

Nowadays, the question of the survival of the people and the country is not acute.
11/ "And if it is worth it, then it is definitely not at the level of "at any cost".

Nowadays, the question of the survival of the people and the country is not acute. And even if it is, it is certainly not at the level of ‘at any cost’.
12/ "If a professional soldier is waiting for war to test and prove himself, his knowledge, skills and training, wisely applying the command ‘Do as I do!’, then that is a different kind of thirst for war. I fully support that.
13/ "But to fucking use the lives of our country's military personnel and civilians to get a position or a badge on your chest is bad, it's wrong.
14/ "I'm telling you about badges/medals/orders, as a user. In civilian life (and in the army), no one gives a shit about them. And all medalists will sooner or later end up in civilian life.
15/ "It is considered normal here when a veteran of all our country's wars, covered in medals and orders, can easily and casually be publicly insulted by some fucking refugee, and at best, no one will give a shit, and at worst, they will applaud him and throw him some money.
16/ "The same citizens of the country that this veteran defended are applauding.

And it will be the same with you.

Well, these are the times we live in.

Strive to remain human, not to earn medals.
17/ "Tomorrow there will be a new war, and its veterans will also believe that this war is more important than all the others, that they are more veteran, and that they deserve a sweeter carrot. It is inevitable.
18/ "Perhaps you remember the phrases used by millions of turbo-patriotic channels at the beginning of the attempts at a peaceful negotiation process to everyone who supported these negotiations?
19/ "What did we have in the text?

- ‘500s [deserters]’, ‘warming up’, ‘drain’, ‘traitors’, “cowards”, ‘we need to get to the English Channel’, ‘Odessa is ours’, etc., etc.

Where are they all today? Quietly sucking dick and nodding at the television. Why?
20/ "Because the wind whispered that they would take away their calorie-rich dick if they continued in the same vein.
21/ "In 100% of cases, these are yesterday's game reviewers, refugees again, purely civilian media representatives and, at best, a couple of yesterday's corporals who, having seen a trench once, decided that from that moment on they were military analysts and…
22/ …experts of interplanetary scale.

Why is that? Because it's money. At the end of the war, 99.9% of all these experts will rest in peace along with their emergency supplies and channels. There will be no content.

That's why everyone is striking while the iron is hot today.
23/ "That's why they're on their couches ‘until the Channel’.

Nothing personal, just business.

Okay, that's it, let's stop whining for today.

But since this is not about us, but about Laos, don't pay too much attention to it." /end

1/ Men with HIV and hepatitis are openly being recruited online for service with the Russian army, despite a ban on recruiting those with infectious diseases. The army already faces a disease epidemic, which is prompting the creation of special 'HIV regiments'. ⬇️ Image
2/ Avito, the Russian version of eBay, currently has over 1,100 adverts offering military contracts. While some are likely to be 'official' adverts from military recruitment offices, many regions now offer bounties to anyone who recruits a soldier.
3/ This is almost certainly prompting recruiters to sign up anyone they can, even if they are legally prohibited from enlisting. Numerous adverts seek people to serve as drivers, drone operators, and artillerymen, but openly state that infected men are welcomed or considered.

1/ Russia's BMD-4M is virtually defenceless against FPV drones and prone to exploding spectacularly when hit. This is being blamed on outdated requirements for the vehicle to be air-droppable and amphibious, which its own makers admit have left it "virtually devoid of armour". ⬇️
2/ The BMD-4M was designed in 2008 for the Russian Airborne Troops (VDV). It has performed poorly during the Ukraine war, with at least 176 vehicles lost. Much of the blame has fallen on the very thin aluminum alloy hull armour.
3/ Soldiers have attempted to improve the armour themselves by adding cages to the roofs of the BMD-4Ms, where the armour is only 5-6mm thick. This has not been very successful due to the armour everywhere else only being thick enough to withstand bullets and shell splinters.

1/ The Russian army is reportedly planning to create special HIV and hepatitis regiments, in an effort to stem an epidemic of infectious diseases. Copying a Wagner Group practice, the infected men will wear armbands to indicate their disease status. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian army is currently experiencing a massive epidemic of HIV, hepatitis and other infectious diseases, due to a breakdown of basic medical hygiene and a lack of screening of men joining the army, many of whom have come from prisons.
3/ Anastasia Kashevarova reports that the Russian army "is adopting the experience of the Wagner private military company, where sick soldiers served in a separate project/unit called Umbrella."

1/ Russian aviation specialists are being expended as assault troops, likely to make up for huge army losses. A prominent Russian warblogger has responded with a furious denunciation of 'meat assault' tactics and the routine lies of commanders about their successes. ⬇️ Image
2/ This is not the first time that the Russian army has made use of air force personnel as assault troops. It generally seems to be a way to plug gaps after heavy losses among the infantry.
3/ The author of the 'Fighterbomber' Telegram channel, who appears to be an ex-Russian air force member, is angry that the "Laotian" armed forces (a euphemism for Russia) are sending scarce aviation specialists ("Space Marines") into deadly assaults:

1/ A Russian commander denounces the Russian way of war as "rot, greed, and hypocrisy", typified by rampant theft, corruption and greed among those providing goods and services to the soldiers, and among the soldiers themselves. ⬇️ Image
2/ The 'Vyaly' Telegram channel recounts the comments of "a Combat Commander who is currently working in the immediate vicinity":
3/ "Our way of war: rot, greed and hypocrisy

Here, on our section of the front, the real enemies sometimes sit not behind the grey line, but right next to us. With automatic rifles, the same uniforms, the same flag on their chevrons. Only with zero honour in their souls.

1/ Russia's infamously corrupt military police (VP) are continuing to make friends and influence people in occupied areas of Ukraine. Russian soldiers are infuriated to be receiving fines for, among other things, smoking in vehicles (on the grounds that 'smoking kills'). ⬇️ Image
2/ The VPs have a deserved reputation for corruption and abuse, and are universally loathed by soldiers: "the bane of the Russian army" and a "garden of corrupt scum", as one warblogger puts it.
3/ Their propensity for issuing on-the-spot fines (which they likely pocket themselves) for trivial infractions is discussed by two Russian warbloggers. Andrey Filatov writes:

"You can think whatever you want about the military police, but they are certainly not lazy."
