to all the people out there that think the 31st MEU thats going to the mid east right now is the end all be all.. please, no not even close.

its a good light unit, but not set up for much more than close in beach fighting.

remember they gave up all the tanks, and much of its artillery a few years ago...

right now they have MAYBE
12 to 15 new ACVs for ship to shore transport... made by italy
according to reports some have the 30mm turret but most dont. they are huge and light.. meaning they dont want to fight from them, they have thin armor. mostly used for ship to shore transport they have about the same LAV25s (15 to 20) , old and light so they can float. they are NOT great in a fight.. mostly used in a support role. not all lavs are the 25mm gun version. they have medic, support, and air defense versions. so not all will be for the infantry . again all heavy armor was disinvested about 5 years ago.

i dont think they are getting the 11th airborne ready for MN...

i really think its a deployment to greenland..

here is why.

its the ONLY division that has a airborne qualified arctic unit in the entire army. the only one!!! a battalion is about 500 or so in peacetime...
if its true that 1500 to 2000 troops are being prepped that would mean they are probably taking the slice elements with them... artillery, mortars, etc... you dont normally do that for crowd control

i keep having to say this but let me put this out there ..
EUROPE or CANADA makes or owns the companies that the us needs for its defense.

the usa makes few items that we own the companies or ip for..

this will kick our ass in the future.

pistols... all euro SMGs. all euro

in the last 36 hours this SMALL task force of ice agents with the guy pictured have...

shot a kid in the face with a 40mm grenade launcher..
killed a american civilian
arrested an american indian
arrested 2 americans for looking mexican in target
trolled the governor by staging an event in the capital building and filming it..
beat the shit out of a unarmed female for not moving
used a car to hit a protester as she walked by out of the way of the car (turning the wheels as they drove by"
this is just what i have seen on social media...
all in the same town

its the same small team that went to chicago, and other areas to do a "show of force". its intended to escalate the situation there.

this guy is the same one that refused to comply with judges in IL and other states by just leaving. this is the same guy throwing a grenade into a school just after the same group shot the lady in the car.

same small group of ice

it looks like the russians are moving one of the last resurve units of the russian army into the fight..
its the 70th MRD (division) the 70th is a new division that was formed in crimea just 2 years ago and has been in the kherson region from then on.

people throwing this video around showing the "ukraine invasion" of the donbas ..

there are "issues" its fake...

a thread.

https://x.com/lopatonok/status/1958767104104308840

1. the vehicles in question are BMD2s (airborne APCs).. ukraine didnt have any in 2014. this one is factory fresh and new... ukraine was broke in 2014 and most of its vehicles looked like shit.

ok so far this is what we know..
the raid was from the 132 MRB (russia), from the looks the 132nd is only a few companies right now (not 10+) so sevearly undermanned.

right now im seeing videos of the AFU handing out water to exhausted russians that are seeking out azov troops to surrender to. one stated he had NO supplies.

some of the video i can not repost yet.

but it looks like the 132nd was thrown away and never had a chance. azov corps is quickly cleaning up the area from reports

x.com/GloOouD/status… the 132nd was recently spotted south of pork. this means it had to disingage from combat, get pulled back without resupply or reforming.. then get thrown into battle over 30 km away, and walk 15km without more supplies then they could carry.

if it keeps going this way the EU and the USA will be at war in the next 50 years... and the US will lose.

the EU has far more growth potential than the USA and is drawing in more countries while the USA is driving more countries away..

with a larger and rebuilt europe goals around the world will clash and we will turn the EU from allies to a competitor to a "threat".

while the EU is massively gearing up to fight russia the US will throw 1-2 trillion at a iron dome that cant work. while cutting force projection and conventional forces..

the US is already outmatched in many areas right now (conventional forces, production of armored vehicles, ships, and ammunition). it has a slight aerospace lead but much of that is from partnerships in europe.. much of the F35 is from europe and while the F47 is crap and not ready for production the tempest is moving ahead...

facts are facts


just an example....
the new artillery system we are going to buy is...... german, and we are not going to buy many..

soooooooo
it looks like the russians are stripping off old AK630 ADA guns from ships and are going to use them to defend the army...
"yea for them"...
but. they were designed for on ship use and that means lots of electricity and weight is no an issue..

on land that is a BIG issue.

next time someone says anything about ukraine and nazies... please push this back at them..
this is the insignia of the ... RUSSIAN liberation army..
200,000 russians that volunteered to join the german army in WWII...

yes russians then and now are nazies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_L…

im tired about talking to silly people about kursk... so i hope this helps clear things up!!!!
1 2

abkhazia..
riots ongoing
federal government has been taken over and the local police and military have joined the rioters....

putin must act and act soon, lets see what happens. russia has conscripts and some HQ troops nearby, probably a national guard battalion...

800-1000 untrained troops.. maybe

another airfield hit!!!
Marinovka lots of fires

t.me/vchkogpu/50150

ok someone is out there calling me out...
so im going to clarify something...
the super brigade... for the last year i have been saying that the use of the term brigade in the ukr military has SOMEWHAT lost its meaning...

and here is why...
this is a normal brigade in the west..

HQ battalion
3 combat maneuver battalions
artillery battalion
support battalion

what we know, dont know, suspect...
and 2 COA... in the north sector we KNOW of
2 mech brigades
1 TDF brigade
1 brigade worth of recon / sept battalion
border guards
1 arty brigade..

i SUSPECT that they have 6+ brigades on the way or on stand by..
13th jager
144th
150th
and more

on the russian side they have about 3-4 rgt of untrained conscripts...
akhmut battalion (last seen running)
local national guard bn
border guard battalion (crushed)
1 BN+ of the 488th (conscripts)
air force infantry rgt (underequipped)

on the way is a T-62 battalion, already taking losses..
and probably a infantry brigade 2-7 days out.
with a division following (if they can move it...) 7-10 days

this is what we know so far..
brigade + incursion into kursk.
so far its 7km deep... (russian kharkiv maxed out at 6.5).
the ukr forces are still advancing..
russia is rushing the 22nd brigade? to the front along with air cover.. ukraine is wrecking everything with drones.
russian TG and social media proves they were not ready for this.

if you follow me and on my twitter space i kept pointing this force out for the last 2 months.

people keep asking me ...
"what is the US plan for ukraine?"

its simple..
no strikes inside russia...
get to the end of 2024 and into 2025 and then give russia a chance to end the war.

thats the plan.
how do i know??
simple the head of the NSC, Jon Finer openly states that is the policy.

27:50 sec

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_…

a thread about patriots.....
keeping it simple you have 2 kinds of rockets
pac2 is larger and has more range and you can have 4 on a launcher...

pac3 are smaller, less range but you can have 18 on a launcher

russian logistics and how they are messing up...
one sign is not being able to cloth its units in modern standard of uniform..
the current issue is supposed to be digi flora.
this camo was picked YEARS ago to outfit everyone in the russian military...
remember this is the STANDARD!!!
and nearly every member of the armed forces of the russian federation was issued at least 3 sets.

the russian national guard had its own uniform, its a cheap copy of the US ATACS uniform... again this was standard!!!

only the 2 uniforms are official in the russian military.. but things change when you are losing a war.
uniforms of all types are now being issued..
note all pictures are from death notices in russian news..

700k is not going to cut it. the allies had only about 16 divisions for desert storm and 900K +

NO SHIT
i have been reporting on this for over a year and how the valuation was WAY WAY off....
i know military vehicles.. the price they were "charging " for them was nuts!!!!
people like john ridge and a few others said i was a liar.... well turns out i was right from the start!!!
this is the 2nd time that they have been caught overvaluing the gear..
DLA is a place where senior shit former officers go after a shit time in the military. they need adult supervision, and thats the truth.
