This is how all introductions of new western kit have gone and is normal. You send over the first small batch along with the people you trained in the west to use them and they then train others on how to use those and subsequent deliveries are larger in number to take advantage of the new troops that were being trained to use them in the meantime.

right click on the tag in my av and copy the link, go to buy yourself a new av and put the image link within url tags and that's it. The charitable donation idea that was floated before didn't seem to go anywhere

quote:

The guide tells journalists to refer to the event as a “key turning point in Russian history” and the “point of formation of Russia’s statehood.” It also instructs them to emphasize that having a “common faith” is what allowed the “East Slavic tribes” to become a “unified people.”

The document devotes particular attention to the “adversaries of Russia” that purportedly fought against Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland. In particular, it says that the “Polish kings planted Catholicism and Uniatism on the occupied native Russian territories in order to fracture and subjugate the people.”

quote:

Today our country is battling a new satanic regime. The Kyiv regime is deliberately destroying Orthodox Christianity on the territory of Ukraine, applying direct pressure against priests and seizing churches.

The Nazi satanists have entrenched themselves in the holy Russian city of Kyiv, where Rus was baptized. Russia has come to the defense of the Orthodox faith and is crushing neo-Nazis who worship the occult ideas of Hitler and Bandera on the front.

I have a hunch that the Hillary avs are related to Gaddafi chat that took place here a couple of days back. That's the only relevance that comes to mind.

- 2013: Ukraine, tired of being subject to Russian sphere of influence, begin protest that will oust Kremlin puppet
- 2014: Russia illegally invades and occupies internationally-recognized Ukrainian territory, starting the Russo-Ukrainian War
-2015-2021: Conflict stagnates at low intensity
- 2021: US increasingly warns of renewed Russian invasion
- 2022: Russia invades with a maximalist scope no one expected. Fortunately, "no one" includes the schmucks tasked with carrying out the invasion, who get clowned on by a Ukrainian military that had spent the last 7 years preparing. Russia is pushed back on all fronts, thwarting decapitation strike, and suffers truly embarrassing losses. Massive sanctions are imposed to contain Russia's armaments industry.
- 2023: Russia scales back war aims drastically, but waste thousands of lives for negligible gains. Ukraine finally receives Western hardware to assist in offense, but Russian entrenchment makes counteroffensive slow going. Outcome still undermined. Russian mercenaries mutiny and march on the Kremlin to minimal success, but show clear cracks in Putin's autocratic regime.
