Dat kon men in WO2 ook met een pantservuist.
Er is onderzoek naar gedaan waarbij men liet zien hoe 3700 tanks werden uitgeschakeld, er waren verschillen qua strijdtoneel maar gemiddeld kwam met tot de volgende conclusie:
22,3% mijnen, 29,4% pantzerafweerkanonnen, 25,3 tanks, 13,5% SP, 6,1% bazooka, overige 3%.
De opmars van de draagbare anti-tank systemen is ook statistisch zichbaar. Deze hebben geen enkele impact in Noord-Afrika maar een toenemende invloed bij gevechten in Europa in '44, '45.

Ook in Moldavia keren steeds meer mensen de rug toe naar de Russische Orthodoxe Kerk. Of in elk geval de Moldavische versie hiervan die onder Russische leiderschap staat.quote:At Least 13 More Moldovan Parishes Joining Romanian Orthodox Church Amid Anti-Russian Backlash
Orthodox priests in at least 13 parishes in Moldova expect to be accepted into the local branch of a Romanian church this week, furthering a trend of dozens of defections from the local arm of the Russian Orthodox Church amid state, clergy, and public anger over Moscow's invasion of Moldova's fellow post-Soviet neighbor Ukraine. Control of the dozen-plus parishes will pass to the Metropolis of Bessarabia, which is subordinate to the Romanian Orthodox Church. The Moscow-run Moldovan Orthodox Church, which serves most Moldovans, has already complained to Moscow's patriarch and defrocked a handful of the defectors.

Crimean woman forced by occupiers to apologize for yellow and blue cocktail tubes
Russian occupiers in Sevastopol forced a local resident to publicly apologise for photos on social media with blue-and-yellow cocktail tubes and pillows. A video of the apology was published by Russian Federation propaganda Telegram feeds.
"I want to apologise for publishing photos in yellow and blue colours on Instagram. They were taken a long time ago and on emotion. I am a Russian, fully respect and love the country in which I live," - says the girl in the video.
The Crimean woman against the background of the Russian flag said that she was born and lives in Sevastopol and that she "loves and respects the country in which she lives", and that she took the photos "long ago and on emotion".

quote:Ukraine's Defence Ministry considers firing three commanders
The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine considers dismissing three commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Source: sources of Ukrainska Pravda in the military-political command of Ukraine
Details: According to the sources of Ukrainska Pravda, Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umierov is preparing to dismiss Tetiana Ostashchenko, Commander of Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, Commander of the Tavriia Operative-Strategic Grouping of Forces, and Serhii Naiev, Commander of Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Reportedly, paramedics and volunteers involved in medical supply of Ukraine’s Defence Forces insisted on the dismissal of Ostashchenko.
The reasons for the dismissal of Tarnavskyi, who is in charge of one of the fronts of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, were not disclosed.
The sources did not name the reasons for Naiev’s dismissal either. At the same time, according to the information of Ukrainska Pravda, he may become one of the main persons of interest in the proceedings about the defence of Kherson Oblast in 2022.
Ukrainska Pravda has turned to the Office of the President to receive a comment about the supposed dismissals of the commanders. Serhii Nikiforov, press secretary of President Zelenskyy, stated that if such a decision is made, it would be properly announced on the President’s website.
One of the sources notes that the issue of these people’s dismissal has been in consideration for several months.

Wat een sukkels. Denken ze nu echt dat de EU ze hiermee gaan helpen? Bulgarije staat gewoon in zijn recht om dit te verhogen. En het is niet zo dat Hongarije ook maar op enig manier meegewerkt heeft sinds de oorlog gestart is. Sterker nog ze hebben alleen maar tegengewerkt en ons gechanteerd. Ze hebben meer dan genoeg tijd gehad om alternatieve energie bronnen te vinden dan Rusland in de afgelopen 1 1/2 jaar.quote:Hungary asks EU to take action against Bulgaria’s transit tax on Russian gas
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary has asked the European Union’s executive to open a legal procedure against Bulgaria over a tax it recently imposed on Russian natural gas passing through its territory, a government minister said on Friday.
Bulgaria believes the tax, which it levied in October, will reduce the privileged position of Russia’s state-owned energy company Gazprom in southeastern Europe and deter Russian influence in the region.
But the tax has angered Bulgaria’s neighbor Serbia, as well as fellow EU member Hungary, which are heavily dependent on Russian gas coming mostly via Turkey and Bulgaria through the TurkStream pipeline.
In a Facebook video, Hungary’s minister for EU affairs, Janos Boka, said he had sent a letter to the European Commission urging it to launch an infringement procedure against Bulgaria, the first potential step the bloc can use to ensure its laws are upheld by member states.

quote:For first time in history, representative of Russian Federation was not elected to UN International Court of Justice
For the first time, the representative of Russia was not elected to the UN International Court of Justice: he lost to the representative of Romania.
Mykola Hnatovskyi, a Ukrainian international lawyer and judge of the European Court of Human Rights, drew attention to this on Facebook, Censor.NET reports.
Hnatovskyi points out that "for the first time, there will be no Soviet/Russian judge" at the UN International Court of Justice in The Hague in connection with the election of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania, Bohdan Aureska.
"This is the second case when a permanent member of the Security Council will not be represented at the UN International Court of Justice (the first was Great Britain in 2017)," he added.
The UN International Court of Justice consists of 15 judges, and five new judges are elected every three years. Each judge represents a certain regional group of countries and must secure the support of members of the Security Council and the UN General Assembly.

Ukraine charges Rudy Giuliani’s top local ally with Moscow-linked treason
Ukraine’s security service says MP was undermining Kyiv-Washington relations under Russian military intelligence orders.
KYIV — A Ukrainian MP who in 2019 helped former U.S. President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani in his search for dirt on Joe and Hunter Biden has been charged with treason.
Oleksandr Dubinsky, together with ex-Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach and ex-prosecutor Kostyantyn Kulyk, had joined an organization formed by chiefs of Russia’s Military Intelligence (GRU), Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) said in a statement on Monday.
Although SBU did not name the MP in the statement, the photos and video materials attached to it identify Dubinsky, whose alias, “Buratino,” was taken from a 1930s Soviet “Pinocchio” knockoff.
Dubinsky met Giuliani during his visit to Kyiv in December 2019 while the former New York City mayor and failed U.S. presidential candidate was filming a documentary aimed at discrediting an impeachment probe into Trump.
“The main task of this organization was to take advantage of the tense political situation in Ukraine and discredit our state in the international arena. For this, the group was getting money from Russian military intelligence. Financing amounted to more than $10 million,” SBU said.
According to SBU, Dubinsky, guided by GRU, spread fake news about Ukraine’s military and political leadership, including claims that high-ranking Ukrainian officials were interfering in U.S. presidential elections. SBU said the Ukraine group was run by GRU deputy head Vladimir Alekseyev and his deputy Oleksiy Savin.
If found guilty, Dubinsky faces up to 15 years in prison and forfeiture of his assets, SBU added. Both Derkach and Kulyk are now in hiding abroad.
Dubinsky denied wrongdoing and called the investigation against him political persecution in a Telegram statement on Friday.
In October and November 2019, Dubinsky and Derkach gave several press conferences in Kyiv at which they claimed that based on an investigation by Kulyk, they had uncovered corruption and money-laundering schemes related to Burisma, a gas company which had future U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter on its board of directors.
They also claimed U.S. investment funds were involved in money laundering in Ukraine.
In 2020 the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Derkach as a Russian agent undermining America’s political system. In 2021 Dubinsky and Kulyk were also sanctioned by the U.S. as foreign actors involved in spreading fraudulent allegations involving a U.S. political candidate.

Lol, voor het vernietigen van deze schip had hij veel meer kunnen krijgen. Mogelijk een comfortabel bestaan voor hem en zijn familie buiten Rusland/Russisch bezet gebied. Zoals die helikopter piloot, al bracht die natuurlijk wel de helikopter met zich mee.. Zelfs als dit een broodje aap is dan is het bestaan van hem en zijn familie niet zeker meer.
Een kapitein van de Russische marine is mogelijk voor 1500 dollar omgekocht om de locatie van het Russische schip Askold op te geven, waarna deze vernietigd is. Hij was nog wel zo slim om te onderhandelen over deze prijs welke in eerste instantie 1000 euro was. Wat volgens hem niet genoeg was voor het risico wat hij liep.quote:Bribed Russian Navy captain disclosed to Ukrainians location of Putin’s newest warship
A bribed Russian Navy captain revealed the location of Putin’s newest warship to Ukrainians.
Before Ukraine hit it with missiles, a Russian Navy captain “accepted a $1,500 bribe to disclose the location of Putin’s newest war ship” in Crimea.
According to Ukrainian sources, the Russian military allegedly bargained to raise the fee before giving the Askold ship location.
The location of Russian dictator Putin’s newest battleship was allegedly bribed for by Russian navy captain Alexander Ermolenko, which allowed Ukraine to hit it with long-range missiles. The Askold ship is a carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles that Russia uses to bombard Ukrainian cities.
Ukrainian missiles heavily damaged the $110 million Russian warship in Crimea.
Videos showed three strikes on the Askold ship, the most sophisticated battleship in Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet. The missile carrier is said to be irreparably damaged.
Ukrainian Telegram channels claim that a Russian captain sold Kyiv information on the location of the warship in a shipyard in Kerch, east of Russian-annexed Crimea, via a social media messenger.
Alexander Ermolenko was named captain of the Russian Buyan-M class-guided missile ship Ingushetia 630. He is accused of negotiating to raise the price for his “service” from $1,000 to $1,500.
Telegram groups Russian Soldiers and Crimean Wind did not explain how the Black Sea Fleet captain, if true, came to be interacting with Ukrainian spies.
While purportedly bargaining in a text chat, the “captain” says of a payment in US dollars, “It’s not enough.” If I have to risk 1000, it is insufficient.
He tells his Ukrainian operator, supposedly referring to the 197ft-long Askold, “It’s here – when do you plan to ‘work’ on it…?”
“Don’t wait too long; they might move it somewhere else.”
“I guarantee only where it is right now.”
