Ukrainan konflikti/sota

Jep, onko tää "hospitallers" sitten joku eri järjestö? Eli lanssi olisi lahjoitettu eri toimijalle kuin alunperin oli tarkoitettu?

Viitataan siis Hospitallers medical battllion:iin.
Jos ymmärrän oikein niin nää "nordicmedics" keränneet rahaa ambulanssiin jonka sitten hankkineet jostain (Mistä ehkä tältä Vasililta?)
Ambulanssi sitten saatu hankittua tarvikkeineen mutta ei ole päätynyt "nordicmedicseille" vaan noille Hospitallerseille?

Noin sen ymmärtäisin itsekin menneen. Mozard Group lopetti toimintansa, kun organisaation talouspuolta pyörittämään hommattu liikemies veti kunnolla välistä ja meinasipa organisaation perustaja Andy Milburn joutua jopa maksumieheksi. Jossain välissä tuollaisten organisaatioiden pyörittäminen vaatii myös taustajoukkoja ja sieltä saattaa löytyä syylliset myös tuon ambulanssin joutumiseen vääriin käsiin. Tuosta tapauksesta kuullaan varmasti jollain aikavälillä lisää.

Nordic Combat Mediceillä on jo uusi keräys menossa panssaroitua ambulanssia varten.
 
Tämän viikon ukrainalaismenetykset Venäjän puolustuministeriön mukaan: 3870 miestä, 20 panssarivaunua, 60 panssaroitua miehistönkuljetusajoneuvoa ja 55 tykkiä. Tiputetuiksi väitetään Su-27, Su-25 ja Mi-8, yksi kpl kutakin.

En ole kuunnellut tätä vielä joten en voi antaa kuuntelusuositusta sillä perusteella.

Michael Kofman ja Shashank Joshi ovat molemmat seuranneet sotaa tiivisti ja olen pitänyt kummankin analyysiä tarkkanäköisenä, joten kenties tämä on kuuntelemisen arvoinen:

Listen: @shashj and @KofmanMichael join @AKendallTaylor and @jteurope to discuss the war in Ukraine and what 2024 might hold in store.

As 2023 came to a close, many people began to characterize the war in Ukraine as a stalemate. Though it is true that very little has recently changed along the front lines and that neither side will be able to make a breakthrough, this label is misleading.

Indeed, as 2024 takes hold both Moscow and Kyiv are working to rebuild their offensive capacity. Developments this year regarding both sides’ access to munitions, capacity to train fighters, and the extent of casualties in the war will be critical in shaping the conflict’s long-term trajectory. As such, 2024 is likely to be a decisive year for the war in Ukraine.

To discuss where things stand and where they could go, Michael Kofman and Shashank Joshi join Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend on this episode of Brussels Sprouts.

Eikös Soini sano videolla, että ambulanssi oli hommattu ja täysin varusteltu mutta se sitten lahjoitettiin Hospitallerseille jonkun Vasili Sukunimipiipattu toimesta.
Lahjoituskalusto merkataan Ukrainan tullissa tietyn tahon omaisuudeksi - yleensä avustusorganisaation tms, jotta ei mene veroja. Tässä kohtaa on voinut käydä kämmi ja kalusto on merkattu jonkun bulvaanin nimiin tai sitten korvamerkitty organisaation kautta eri paikkaan, joka on nähty tärkeämmäksi kuin Soinin poppoo.

Oppirahoja, mutta näin se menisi todennäköisesti Suomessakin, jos ei ole vapaaehtoisten koko avustusketju kunnossa.
 
Sama tekniikka kuin laivoissa ensimmäisen maailmansodan aikaan.
Sama tekniikka edelleen käytössä. Esimerkkiä Suomesta linkin takaa (K2,J6) ajassa 11:00:

 
Dimalla on perjantain kunniaksi korkki narahtanut. Medvedevin mukaan brittijoukkojen sijoittaminen Ukrainaan tarkoittaisi "ikuisen vihollisemme, ylimielisten brittien" sodanjulistusta Venäjälle. Syynä pääministeri Sunakin saapuminen Kiovaan kirjoittamaan turvallisuussopimusta Ukrainan kanssa.

Medvedev: the deployment of British troops in Ukraine will mean a declaration of war on the Russian Federation​

MOSCOW, January 12. /TASS/. The deployment of the British military contingent in Ukraine will mean a declaration of war on Russia, warned Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.

This is how he commented on the arrival of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Kyiv to sign a “historic security agreement.”

“I hope that our eternal enemies, the arrogant British, understand that the deployment of their official military contingent in Ukraine will mean a declaration of war on our country,” Medvedev wrote in his Telegram channel.

“How would the Western public react to the fact that the British delegation came under fire from cluster munitions in the center of Kyiv, as happened to the civilians of our Belgorod?” - the deputy head of the Russian Security Council also asked a question.

On December 30, 2023, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the center of Belgorod, using two cluster munition rockets and Czech-made multiple launch rocket system shells. 25 people were killed, including 5 children, more than 100 were injured, and dozens of residential buildings and civilian objects were damaged. On December 31, 2023, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced a retaliatory strike on military installations in Ukraine, including in Kharkov, as a result of which the Ukrainian side suffered significant losses.

Tämä on voinut olla täällä jo aikaisemmin, en muista, mutta toisto tuskin haittaa. En ole ehtinyt tutustumaan tarkemmin sisältöön, mutta vaikuttaisi siltä että tämä tarjoaa katsauksen siitä, miten Orlan-10 dronen valmistaja kiertää sanktioita ja hankkii tarvitsemansa länsimaiset komponentit (bulvaaneja käyttäen, tietysti):

#CYBINT & #OSINT investigation: how the Orlan-10 manufacturer imports parts bypassing #sanctions.

Details and documents on the website: https://informnapalm.org/en/cybint-stc/

In November 2023, Ukrainian hacktivists of the Cyber Resistance group handed over to InformNapalm volunteer #intelligence community internal documentation of the sanctioned #Russian Special Technological Center LLC (STC), known in particular for the production of the Russian Orlan-10 UAVs. The documents provided by the hacktivists for our analysis directly confirm that a network of front companies continues to import equipment and parts produced by European, American and Asian companies into #Russia. These supplies are mission-critical for the Russian production of #weapons and #military equipment.

Aikaisemmin tänään tähän ketjuun lainattiin ranskalaisen Le Monde -lehden GUR:n päällikkö Kyrylo Budanov haastattelua, mutta artikkeli oli maksumuurin takana.

Tässä ketjussa on poimintoja ko. artikkelista, laitan tekstin spoilerin taakse:

Kyrylo Budanov's very interesting interview with Le Monde.

A long but gripping thread:

- Russian missile attacks stem from the desire to declare 2023 "victorious". The Russians did not have real military successes.

- Russian missiles have a number of shortcomings. They often miss targets. We immediately responded to their missile attacks, targeting military objects.

- If compared with previous years, from the end of the summer of 2023, we are observing an increase in the number of ammunition produced by Russia. At the same time, we noticed a decrease in the quality of these shells.

- The intensive use of drones on both sides made it impossible for both Russia and Ukraine to conduct offensive operations. Another factor is the density of minefields, which have not been seen since World War II.

- We know the solution for drones - electronic countermeasures. Mines require specialized equipment.

- The northern part of the Black Sea is under the control of Ukraine, as are the gas production platforms. Maritime export corridors, which are very important to our economy, are functioning again, despite the risks.

- We regularly attack the enemy's military fleet and port facilities, so the Russians had to rush everything to the southeast. They are trying to create a naval base in Ochamchire on the occupied territory of Georgia.

- In 2023, the first Ukrainian landings on the temporarily occupied Crimea happened, although some considered them impossible.

- This gives hope - especially to Ukrainians on the peninsula, who have been living under Russian occupation for 10 years, and many of them have already begun to give up.

- Everyone thought that Moscow had a strong army, but a weak economy. It turned out to be the opposite. The army is weak. Russian economy may be weak, but the country is by no means starving. At this rate, it can last quite a long time.

- Current Western sanctions are not enough. They should affect the main sectors of the Russian economy: energy, metallurgy and the financial system.

- More shells and artillery systems are needed. It is not only about modern technologies. We are interested in everything, including old systems that are no longer in use. The issue of quantity is significant.

- Those who think abroad that they are "tired" of Ukraine will have to take care of the Muscovites when they come to occupy their own territories.

- The aggressor state of Russia is waging war not only against Ukraine. It is waging a war against NATO, as their propaganda claims from the very beginning.

Oli todella hyvä jakso vaikka ei kovin ruusuista kuvaa maalannut jos USAn tuki hiipuu. Venäjällä on perustellusti saumat voittaa jos länsi jatkaa tuki hiipuu. Kannattaa kuunnella.
