Mamoulian War

And even more unpleasant stuff

Spanish will send older variant of Leopard 2 to Ukraine. Rumours on the internet says up to 53, although Spain did not confirm any number yet. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/01/28/7386889/ Slovakia will provide to Ukraine all of our Mig-29. This means two things. - 0 jets in Slovak Army, until F-16 arrives. One of our industry companies has already transformed to be able to maintain and repair F-16s. - 0 Russian military personnel at our Air Bases. Up to 20 are still servicing the Migs, despite Slovakia being on the list of enemy countries to Russia.

I am sorry, if I didn't notice it in your "review". But from what I understood, some of the guys who had the "luck" to play it, has told me, that the loot was boring. How did you enjoyed this reward aspect of the game?

Big increase in destroyed Russian iron in the last three days. 2 more jets and 1 more chopper downed yesterday as well. (Thats’s 5 jets and 5 choppers in three days). Something big started for sure. Most likely attack on Vuhledar and Zaporizhia frontline by Russia cost them a lot again.

From what I’ve read by various UA sources, they did 10-20 daily sorties during liberation of Kherson. I do not remember to read much news about airfights in Donbas region nowadays. One notable news, which went viral, was one Ukrainian pilot doing his sortie in Ded Moroz “outfit” during december/january. So either RU has very heavy AD in there, or there is a blackout on this kind of information. And another RU SU-25 shot down today there. Back to F-16. Lockheed Martin is prepared to ramp up production, to accomodate for third-party reexport needs. Still no official green light on this. But it looks to me, that more and more sources are slowly “preparing the audience” for opening these floodgates. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/01/25/7386542/

There are no plausible information for UA airforce performance on the east, but Russia sometimes hammers ground forces of UA with their airforce, and sometimes gets completely obliterated themselves, like two days ago, they lost 4 helicopters (3 of them Alligators, and 2 Su-25s). a little bit in favour for UA says, that they can use antiradar missiles on their jets already.

Netherlands has already promised, that they will pay for F16s for Ukraine, if someone puts the jets on the table. There are some "rumours" that UA pilots are already training on F16s. No one sane enough would confirm that information for us though So take it as a psyops for now

Different look on the Leopards...

Evolution of the Russian Tactics. Most of the tweets are bout the Blitzkrieg, which was succesful in the south, but cost them a lot in the north.

@pmp10 some insights on possible Russian struggle to modernize/refurbish tanks.

A lot of our politologues (is that a correct english word?) have suggested this solution as well So hopefully something could be done to get through this "obstacle" as soon as possible

Morocco as a first African country is sending thei tanks to Ukraine. The article mentions another north african country, willing to help, but I ahve not found who it might be. IMHO only Algeria or Tunisia are the likely candidates to be that second one. https://kyivindependent.com/news-feed/media-morocco-sends-soviet-made-tanks-to-ukraine

And looks like, that Baerbock “greenlit” donating Leopard 2s to UA by Poland.

Intel/rumours on Russian next moves.

I know, but the only games, which I have on Steam are Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione and EU4, and I am not planning to make it bigger. I have pretty big backlog, so I do not mind to wait 2-7 years for a release of good game on GOG

Few days old, but it is worth to mention it. Looks like, there are still few good people left in Russia. They are silently creating small memorial sites for the civilian victims of the attack on Dnipro housing. Although some of them were immediately taken away by police after putting their flowers on memorial. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/01/18/7385430/

Very good news, at least for me Three games from the Endless series by SEGA will be released on GOG Soon! https://www.gog.com/en/news/coming_soon_bendless_space_endless_space_2_and_dungeon_of_the_endless_from_segab

After a break from since September, I started to play Assetto Corsa Competizione few days ago again. This time in GT4 cars. I have picked up Aston Martin and started to race on Low Fuel Motorsport again. After few very nice races and three podiums in Split 2, I had today a lot of time to race a little bit around. Unfortunately, it looks like, that Friday is the worst day for racing, especially, if there are a lot of Porsche drivers on the grid In three races, I was hit in almost every single corner of the Donington track by Porsche drivers, which forgot that they have also brakes in their cars , and I have lost almost 1/4 off of my Safety Rating, which pretty much sent my performance back to July of last year. Enough is enough, I will be having fun tomorrow making videos of reports of the incidents

Still thinking about Encased, but I feel kind of burned out to play anything than Assetto Corsa Competizione GT4 races. I really do not want to make my backlog grow even bigger

I am curious, how the Rammstein ends... in the meanwhile Netherlands is hitting it out of the park

Haven Park giveaway on GOG. It has a pretty decent reviews. https://www.gog.com/game/haven_park

This donation will triple the amount of Cesars in Ukraine

Canada will provide 200 APCs to Ukraine.

According to this guy, who claims to track Wagner casualties in Russian media, there are daily 100-200 individual obituaries posted on Wagner social medias.

TBH, I am not very surprised to read that. Our government was during 2008-2020 also pretty much pro-russian, and despite that in 2014, after attack on Donbas, they pretty fast changed our laws and forbid our citizens to join any military group (state or private) without explicit approval of the President. Even now, when we are more pro western, out of 22 people asking for permit to joining UA army, only 7 were granted with this permit.
