And another Russian AWACS plane downed, near Mariupol. They claim friendly fire, others thinking mythic F-16s at work.

"We are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the trenches near Tehran, in North Korea or in Beijing." Curious marketing from Goncharenko, support us so we'll be grunts for you in future.

https://www.reuters.com/world/iran-sends-russia-hundreds-ballistic-missiles-sources-say-2024-02-21/ Rumoured Iranian missiles actually delivered. Now just to wait for the rumoured Su-35s to be delivered.

Wouldn't want to be an F-16 pilot trying to bomb Rostov or something, even with Russia's shovel based AD.

Or she got offered good coin. Lady's gotta eat.

David Lynch should direct Borderlands

Was this the 3rd AB refusing to go into the city? I vaguely recall reading this but now cannot find it, feh. NYT reporting - https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/20/us/politics/ukraine-prisoners-avdiivka-russia.html https://archive.is/ep3wO Surprised we're not seeing much crowing on Telegram by Russians though, if the prisoner haul is that great

Looking at 3 email chains all about the same issue in my inbox. And each of them has an out of date snapshot of the issue. Fun day.

Breen needs to get Steve Seagal involved.

Phantasmagoria is superior by far. Antwiler never did get around to making a movie with the money he leeched did he ?

Had those neat sync kills, at least. Also the cover system, which I guess no one used that much. I should buy that, at least to see why everyone is so negative about it.

SVR thinks they're Mossad or something.

Two more jets downed today, well or is claimed so far, maybe moving western AD around or could be friendly fire, distances are pretty close. Smart to move air defense closer to front line, Ukrainian troops got worked over by glide bombs in Avdiivka. Won't happen, nature of the game means the West won't want their weapons to be hitting Russia proper. Ukrainians have their own stuff that can hit Russia, they've done it quite a bit in the past few weeks.

It's pretty popular, both DoW and DoW 2 are fun in their own way, you just have people that bitch too much. I did eventually beat the game, more or less cheese the boss by using Cyrus to spot an orbital strike. Just seemed odd in some cases as my troops would get shredded but in others just tear everything up. I largely still cannot use Thaddeus, poor guy just dies all the time.

https://kyivindependent.com/denmark-to-donate-all-its-artillery-to-ukraine-says-pm/ New marketing tactic will be to say "Why do you need a military to defeat Russia when we can do it for you?". I suppose a more pessimistic view will be that things are pretty bad if this is warranted (probably not).

Started the sequel to The Peripheral, Agency. Gibson sure name drops a lot big names (at the time) in Tech, heh.

Replaying Dawn of War 2, finding Captain very difficult for me, although I beat it at that level of difficulty back in 2012. Now, the answer is they patched the game to be harder or I just suck. The answer is obviously the former.

Hooray for Yeltsin. Great legacy, although I guess the alternative might have been worse ? It's at least amusing to watch, sometimes. Also, don't talk to masonry, folks

Will have to look around , curious how their fortifications are but I doubt all the OSINT types are going to be sharing that information.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68323366 Looks like that's it.

Maybe we'll have a state funeral for him
