The ministry also released a video of the meeting. In it, Sokolov appears completely still on the screen, even when he suddenly wears glasses between the 5-second splices (04:26-04:31).

Before that, Peskov said that he "has no information about the alleged death of Black Sea Fleet Commander Sokolov."

Attachment 1210392

EDIT UPDATE form Ukrainian officials - no media
"Clarification of information regarding the destruction of the commander of the Black Sea NAVY

As it is known, 34 officers were killed as a result of a rocket attack on the headquarters. According to the sources, among the dead was the commander of the military air force. Many still have not been identified due to the disparity of body fragments.

Since the Russian side was urgently forced to publish an answer with an apparently living Sokolov - our units are clarifying the information. This happens within the procedure for collecting data on the results of the operation."


What Russian sources are saying (I'm still looking for the actual video):
Attachment 1210401

EDIT: found a couple. Posting whatever I find. Second video had the following info:
"Here's a longer video. Strange edit though, as Shoigu is clearly reading looking down, while the videoconference shows him with no paper in hand, looking forward, and barely moving lips."

Seema that he's still alive. Even GUR told that they are still verifying.

RU T-90M tanks can now meet Western countries' main battle tanks on the battlefield. But are Western armored vehicles really capable of handling it?

We shall see. :)

Take a look at a visual comparison of the RU T-90M and its western competitors in Sputnik's infographic.

"Former mercenaries of the Wagner PMC, who were in Belarus, signed a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry and moved to the eastern direction of the front in Ukraine. Some of the militants went to Africa, said Ilya Yevlash, a spokesman for the Eastern Military Group.

"They do not pose such a threat as they did, for example, a year ago due to the loss of their main leader Yevheniy Prigozhyn," he added.

The Border Guard Service clarified that there were more than 6,000 Wagnerites in Belarus. Currently, according to Demchenko, about 500 militants remain in Belarus.

Earlier, the aerial reconnaissance operator of the Code 9.2 unit of the 92nd Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a comment to CNN that Wagnerites had returned to the Bakhmut area."



This doesn't seem like a good idea to me at all.

"Ukraine offers Western allies to launch missile strikes on Shahed UAV production plants in Iran, Syria, and a potential production facility in Russia, The Guardian reports.

The above can be carried out by the Ukrainian defense forces if the partners provide the necessary means of destruction."

Sputnik tank comparison: less weight=less armor, T-90 is a whopping 12 tons lighter than the next lightest tank on the list, at least it is also the least expensive

T-90M still has this ammo caroussell below the turret. We'll see.

The state media have called the T-90M Proryv the most advanced armored vehicle in the family of T-90 main battle tanks and most of all fit for modern warfare thanks to its all-round armor protection, top-notch all-weather highly automated fire control and enhanced survivability.

Meanwhile, the Dutch open-source intelligence website Oryx, which has been collecting visual evidence of military equipment losses, said that the Russian army has lost at least 22 T-90M tanks since Russia’s invasion began on February 24, 2022.

Estimates indicate that perhaps only 100 or so examples were in service at the time Russia launched its latest invasion of Ukraine in late February.

The best part is that they becomes a joke.
All this alanogovnet's and proryv's, and they still keep taking Kiev in 3 days after 600 days. Reminds me Hitler's Germany, where at least they had really newest weapons
All those analogovnet's, proryv's, pak-fa's (su-57) and other bullshit is just on papers (not sure), putin's mind (sure) and idiots who believes at this (sure). Everything of this is limited to 1-10 pieces so that's why they cannot do nothing. Even their analagovnet's Kinzhals was taken down by our brave Air Defence with... with '84 Partiot System!!!
So, now I would like to hear some reply from someone who support putin and his ruzzia (are they down or what?).
Change my mind

Here is a list of T90 hashtags from June to present. I still have a year of footage to go through and hashtag as well. Keep in mind, I am no tank expert but it certainly seems that all the hype surrounding the Russian T90 has been blown out of proportion.

I certainly don't think they can be compared to Abrams and Leopard.

That seems to be a common theme, yes.

This is primarily why I refuse to go through, curate and post media from Russian sources. Too much work figuring out what's legit or not.
