@Samfr Just a few right decisions and far right is non existent. But no one is ready to change their policies thus they are only growing.

Restore is on 7% in that Makerfield constituency poll. I wrote this week why they're a threat that needs to be taken seriously. samf.substack.com/p/is-andy-burn…

@Jonpy99 The russians ran out of tanks headlines in 3 2 1...

Let's consider this for a moment: T-64s are automatically discarded, most T-62s are probably too rundown and there's barely ~150 T-80s left in storage, mostly T-80UDs with the same problem as T-64s. T-55s are so simple to pose a technical problem, but they're so few and ancient.

Early this year there were ~400 T-72As still in storage bases. It's likely that the numbers has by now fallen below ~300, with a similar amount still being parked outisde UVZ waiting to be processed.

@jaanus What soviet education? She's 48, Estonia has been independent for 35 of those years. Idiot...

Vatniks whining about Kaja Kallas is amazing “Why isn’t Kaja Kallas spreading russian poison and lies which she supposedly learned in Soviet education system in a country occupied by russia”

@ianbremmer Maybe it's not that iranians are good, maybe the americans are just idiots.

the iranians have proven themselves very capable at stringing negotiations along, providing just enough to keep the americans engaged.

@White_Wolf_TR @Jeff21461 Imagine using cheap stuff that works instead of procuring some overpriced bs :)

@Jeff21461 Are they using bits of garden hose for racking?

🇵🇱 The Polish company Mesko has increased the production of its Piorun MANPAD missile to at least six per day, or just over 2.100 per year, in order to keep up with demand. A reminder that consistent bulk orders are the best way to boost capacity. militarnyi.com/uk/news/polshh…

@ChrisO_wiki You can stop reading after "western proxies". Orcs still butthurt that Ukrainians stopped their VDV, naval infantry and all the jazz and showed them that they are a superpower only in their minds.

1/ Russia actually won the war in Ukraine in 2023 – but the Ukrainians changed the paradigm in 2025 and have turned the tables on the Russian army since. So claims RT journalist Alexander Kharchenko, who calls for Russia to change its approach fundamentally. ⬇️

@rjessing @NeilPHauer Where is this coming from? Why would Moldova establish autonomy in their own land which was occupied by russia by force.

1. Ukrainan forces to chase the russian army out 2. Establish a true autonomous government, supported by foreign body (EU/UN/OSCE?) 3. Ensure Moldova's acceptance of some form of autonomy (this could be a condition for a path to EU) 4. Referendum 5. Get Moldova an association agreement with the EU and allow workforce migration. Start infra investments 6. Ukraine to withdraw

An underappreciated side effect of the Russia-Ukraine war is that at some point Transnistria will cease to exist. It's economically, militarily and politically untenable. Ukraine and Moldova/Romania just haven't worked out how to deal with the aftermath yet.

@GirkinGirkin Хахлы ничего не умеют. Я так понял расходимся :)))

ok twi, this one

@degi_eth @front_ukrainian And the target might be worth a million.

@front_ukrainian $50,000 missile to take down a less than $1,000 drone

❗️A 🇺🇦Ukrainian soldier shot down a 🇷🇺Russian Shahed kamikaze drone using a MANPADS

@kriegsforscherD I like how everyone is jumping to conclusions from a 2 min news clip. Having no knowledge of the whole exercise and the big picture.

@ChristophLieven @Defence24eng You can lodge a complaint on the back of Budapest memorandum.

@Defence24eng This violates the NATO Russland Grundakte. No permanent foreign troops of NATO countries east of River Elbe!

Trump pulls 5,000 troops from 🇩🇪 Germany. Plan: permanent armored brigade in 🇵🇱 Poland. 80 Abrams tanks. 125 Bradleys. Equipment already stored in Powidz. Poland pays for infrastructure. 🇺🇸 U.S. Army wants out of rotations. Politics are aligning. defence24.com/geopolitics/us…

@Rebel44CZ Who needs element of surprise when we have a telegraph

If true, the Russian command is completely delusional...

@nik0p0l5 @matthew_petti If he had the brains for eloquence (if we can call leaks to Ravid that) we wouldn’t be watching this shit show. Yeah, it’s definitely going to be done AI slop with caps..

@matthew_petti Why tweet it when you can use Barak Ravid for little insider tomfoolery

@DylanMalyasov @ChrisO_wiki Too bad all this technological advantage is offset by the government in power which can stink up things real fast.

Paradoxically, some of the best-performing systems in Ukraine, when measured by a mix of price, quality, reliability, and battlefield value, are American. Among strike drones, the Hornet has shown strong value. Among drone-killer systems, the U.S.-made MEROPS stands out. For anti-tank weapons, the Javelin remains one of the most effective systems available. For short-range air defense, VAMPIRE has become a practical answer to low-cost aerial threats. The same pattern appears across other categories. Echodyne provides some of the best radar sensors. Teledyne FLIR remains a leader in thermal and night-vision sensors. L3Harris radios are among the most trusted battlefield communications systems. Patriot is still the best available system for countering ballistic missiles. The MaxxPro is one of the best MRAPs in Ukrainian service. The Humvee remains one of the most useful tactical vehicles. The F-16 is the most capable fighter among those currently available to Ukraine. Even older UH-60 helicopters have proven to be more practical and reliable than the Russian Mi-8AMTSh captured in 2023. The lesson is clear: the American approach to weapons development often works because it does not rely only on advanced technology, as Europe often does, or only on mass production, as Russia and China do. The United States tends to combine technology, scale, reliability, logistics, and battlefield usability. That balance may be the most effective model for large and complex wars.

@vytejok We will find out only when Sikorsky is out of office. But I wouldn’t be surprised because in his previous term there was a directive to limit cooperation between diplomats. Not to mention phone leaks and his views towards Lithuania.

An honest question to my Polish neighbors. Is it true that your foreign min recomended your embassies world wide to avoid any joint celebrations & commemorations with LT on May 3‘rd Constitution events & to distance themselves from LT? Been told about it by a few diplo sources.

This guy in Cheboksary refusing to heed the air alarm was having a front row place when the Ukrainian FP-5 cruise missile struck the military enterprise in the city.

@noclador It’s easy to destroy, much harder to build.

That "cathedral" was 7 years old. 2019 construction finished and it was in use for barely 4 years. This is neither "cultural genocide" nor a "case for the UNESCO" nor "destruction of history".

@KobeissiLetter Cost effective is code for cheap shit

Chinese automakers are taking over the European car market: European sales of Chinese plug-in hybrid vehicles surged over +300% YoY in March, to a record ~20% of the European hybrid car market. By comparison, in early 2024, Chinese hybrid sales represented just 2% of the EU hybrid market. This pushed total Chinese car sales in Europe up nearly +100% YoY in March, to a record 140,094 vehicles. Now, Chinese cars make up a record 9.4% of the overall European market, tripling over the last 2 years. Chinese automakers continue to offer some of the most cost-effective vehicles in the market while increasingly matching European brands on technology and features. Europeans are rushing to buy Chinese cars at an unprecedented pace.
