"A trained Eagle attacking a small drone...a Duma deputy [Russia] proposed establishing a "Squadron" of such Eagle Interceptors "

Now all they need to do is learn how to distinguish RAF from UAF.

Another pretty effective use case of animals would have been the American "fire bats" where bats where equipped with incendiary explosives and released in wooden cities of Japan, where they would hide under roofs and ignite the whole city.
They scrapped the idea because it was too effective and runaway bats burned down their own buildings :D
I think there also were early guided missiles that were controlled by pigeons.
As for the eagles, I think they are quite rare and difficult to handle, so id just equip them with cameras and have them fly around the frontlines.

Few years ago they were training Bee's to find landmines.

"They will cover themselves with people: the "South" OK has named the real purpose of the so-called "evacuation"

From the territories occupied by Russia, people begin to be taken out under the pretext of "evacuation" to those areas of the temporarily occupied territories where Russian military units are stationed.

According to Humenyuk, the enemy will use the civilian population as a "human shield"."


Well, that's a new low for the orc fuckers who invaded Ukraine, to now hide behind their own ppl.

"Google Earth continues to update its satellite image of Ukraine with photos taken at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Now it has new images of part of Kherson and Kherson region.

The photo shows the Kherson airport in Chornobaivka, where the occupiers have set up their base. You can see a large number of vehicles, including damaged ones, as well as trenches for them. The Russians painted the letters Z on their vehicles, which can even be seen on satellite photos."

"The occupiers turned the ruins of the Mariupol Drama Theater into a garbage dump.

Literally. Now, garbage from the territory near the theater square is dumped inside the fenced-in theater every day.

Every time it seems that the mockery of the memory of the murdered Mariupol people has reached the bottom, the Muscovytes pushes back and pierces it."

"Ukraine began to receive radars from Israel to warn of a missile threat. Radars are manufactured by the Israeli company RADA Electronic Industries, Israel Defense.

Ukraine should receive a batch of 16 RADA radars. Radars are used in Israel to identify and identify threats from the sky. They are connected to the public address system. In the event of a threat, residents are notified to take cover."



PDF from the website is attached but I've screenshotted it as well.

"Video of how the Armed Forces of Ukraine are training to overcome water obstacles.

This is done, among other things, with the help of the Soviet PTS-2 amphibious tracked carriers.

This vehicle is designed to transport troops, artillery, armored vehicles and other cargo across waterways. Can also be used in marine environments."

"Russian jet intercepts Polish plane over Black Sea

A Russian fighter intercepted a Polish plane patrolling for the EU’s border agency over the Black Sea, Romania’s defence ministry said Saturday, denouncing Moscow’s “aggressive and dangerous” behavior.

The Polish border guard plane was on a routine Frontex patrol with Romanian border police Friday when it was intercepted by repeated “aggressive and dangerous maneuvers”, performed by the Sukhoi Su-35 fighter, said a ministry statement.

Romanian and Spanish planes were put on “pre-alert” by NATO when the incident happened, but the Polish crew managed to land safely, the statement added.

The incident took place “in international airspace over the Black Sea,” around 60 kilometers east of Romania’s airspace, said the ministry."

Zelenskyy's Victory Day video message w/English subtitles.

"We are returning the honest history without ideological admixtures to our state. It is on May 8 that most nations of the world remember the greatness of the victory over the Nazis. It is on May 8 that the world honors the memory of all those, whose lives were taken by that war. It was on May 8 that the Act of Unconditional Surrender of the Wehrmacht entered into force.

Today, I submitted a bill to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine proposing that May 8 be the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in the Second World War of 1939-1945.
We will never forget the contribution of the Ukrainian people to the victory over Nazism. And we will not allow lies as if the victory in that war could have taken place without the participation of any country or nation. As then we destroyed evil together, so now we are destroying a similar evil together. Unfortunately, evil has returned. Although now it is another aggressor, the goal is the same – enslavement or destruction. And just as then we relied on the joint strength of free nations, so now we fight against evil together with the free world, together with free Europe. And we will prevail! It will be the Day of our victory! Victory Day of Ukraine. It will be!

Many years ago, the tradition of celebrating Europe Day on May 9 was established on our continent – to mark peace and unity achieved. Today, unity on our continent brings us closer to celebrating the first day of our peace. And it will be right to celebrate Europe Day together with all of free Europe.

Today, I signed the relevant decree, and every year from tomorrow, May 9, we will commemorate our historic unity – the unity of all Europeans who destroyed Nazism and will defeat ruscism. The unity that brings peace closer.

Eternal memory to all those who died in the Second World War! Glory to everyone who fought against Nazism and won!

Glory to all our heroes of different times, to whom we equally owe our lives!"
