There was a vid floating around from late last year where Russians had a convoy of honest to god tachankas going down some highway in occupied territory, but I don't have the link to hand at the moment.

Should write "cock" on them and blast them by the ton right over the countryside using long range artillery. Completely safe for everyone, yet still rendering the terrain completely uninhabitable to fragile toxic criminal occupier scum.

The writing on ammunition thing is weird. Also, weren't they banned from being posted in the thread?

I saw one the other day and it was in response to a picture posted on Russian social media of a young girl holding a sign asking for more ammo for her dad, it was a shell with "for daddy" written on it.

Depending on the local legislation donating money that way might also be highly illegal. All it takes is one over-zealous prosecutor to decide that you were, in fact not donating money to Ukraine, but directly funding an artillery strike against human targets and wanted picture and/or video proof of it, for fun times with the legal system to begin.

The Russian Kalibr missile fell in occupied Crimea.

Astra Telegram channel reported on this.

According to the media, the missile was discovered near the village of Vulkanivka in the Leninsky district of temporarily occupied Crimea.

It is stated that the Russian Kalibr cruise missile was discovered by a shepherd in the forest at 6:30 a.m. on May 17.
The media notes that after receiving a report about the missile, specialists went to the site and concluded that it was indeed a Kalibr missile, which is in service with the Russian Navy.

However, so far, no photos of the missile have been released.

According to the report, it is not known when exactly this missile fell on the territory of Crimea and how long it had laid in the forest before it was discovered.

Based on that article posted earlier about Russian prison culture and how glass-like fragile their egos all are, wouldn't it be economically feasible to somehow bribe a way into the prison system to pay all the roosters to run around and touch everyone in the prison so they all become untouchable, spread stories of this event, and plant in the heads of the stupid invading homophobes (who suffer from malignant masculinity and should get the gently caress out of Ukraine) that ANYONE in Russia could be a rooster?

In contemporary times absolutely. That same desire to hobble nations that might join up with Russia's enemies takes different forms throughout the centuries.

Take a brief skim through this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_Russia_(1500%E2%80%931800)

And you will quickly find that the pattern of bullying weaker neighbors into being satellite states first then outright annexed is how Russia expanded to the Pacific in the first place (and lol that it was only a problem for the rest of Europe that Russia did this when Russia turned around and aimed it westwards and started sucking up territories allied with Poland-Lithuania and Prussia)

Couple years ago when numerous cases of cops raping convicts with brooms were unearthed and publicized, big bosses in prisons have actually issed a written decree that aimed to establish that a person raped by a cop should not be deemed untouchable among other inmates.

Ukrainian forces move towards Bakhmut, advance by 150-1,700 metres over past 24 hours posted:

Ukraine's defenders have advanced by 150 to 1,700 metres on the Bakhmut front over the past 24 hours, killing 130 Russian soldiers and capturing 4.

Source: Serhii Cherevatyi, spokesperson for the East Grouping of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during the national joint 24/7 newscast on 18 May

Quote from Cherevatyi: "Bakhmut remains the epicentre of the hostilities in Ukraine’s east… Our units continue to advance on the flanks in the course of combat, although they have no advantage in personnel, ammunition or assets. We managed to cover 150 to 1,700 metres over the past 24 hours."

Details: He added that the occupiers are forced to run away when "they get a good hit [from Ukraine’s forces – ed.]".

At the same time, Cherevatyi noted that Russian forces were still trying to take the city of Bakhmut, which they had almost completely destroyed.

In particular, Russian troops hit the Ukrainian forces’ positions 487 times with tube and rocket artillery. Twenty-five combat engagements and six air strikes occurred as well.

The defenders killed 130 Russian soldiers and captured 4; 145 more invaders were wounded.

Ukrainian soldiers also destroyed two Msta self-propelled artillery systems, an Orlan-10 UAV and eight Russian storage points.

Would be quite funny if Wagner takes Bakhmut only to find itself enveloped by Ukraine, turning Bakhmut into the world's shittiest city-state


Also, the US is stepping up the drone donations to Ukraine. An American company is supplying Ukraine with hundreds of FPV drones. To anyone that will scroll past this as just yet another DJI-like drone, don't get it wrong - that isn't the case and this is big news. They are not average consumer drones by any means:

Red Cat Holdings posted:

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) (“Red Cat” or the “Company”), a military technology company integrating robotic hardware and software to protect and support the warfighter, announces that it will fulfill a purchase order to provide 200 long-range, high-speed FPV (first-person view) drones to Ukrainian drone pilots engaged in conflict with Russia.

The FPV drones will be delivered to Ukraine in June. The drones to be shipped have the highest power-to-weight ratio in the drone industry, offering increased maneuverability, especially when combined with the FPV functionality of the drones. These FPV drones can also fly in GPS-denied and GPS-jammed battlefield conditions.

“Fortunately, Red Cat has the U.S. manufacturing capacity required to quickly deliver on such orders,” said Red Cat CEO Jeff Thompson. “We are pleased to provide our product to Ukrainian drone pilots, and we look forward to continuing to engage with them, including by providing our new nighttime drone, the Teal 2. Much of drone activity is performed at night, and the Teal 2 is at the forefront of nighttime drone capabilities.”

Officially launched last month, the Teal 2 is designed to Dominate the Night™ and is equipped with Teledyne FLIR’s new Hadron 640R sensor. This provides end-users with the highest resolution thermal imaging in a small (Group 1) form factor and is optimized for nighttime operations. Red Cat’s other technology partners for the Teal 2 include Athena AI, Reveal Technology, and Tomahawk Robotics.

In Russia?

Because I'm focusing on that centuries-old Russian prison/criminal/mob culture, in Russia- not US-based prison society which is relatively new and not at all like Russia, as I envisioned in my mind, based on the lurid details in that article linked a couple of pages back.

In my mind I imagined people purposely walking around to avoid touching someone, which brought to mind ancient games of cooties in the third grade, which was comical.

So it evolved into a nation-wide game of tag/cooties, because no one knew who was "it", and all of society implodes.
