How can they have frostbite? I checked the weather in Ukraine and it seems to be pretty warm currently.

It's been colder in the previous 2 weeks.

This sounds like it might be a big-ish deal:
curious 'container' that Ukrainian troops captured today looks to actually represent a significant Russian loss and a potential intelligence goldmine. What Ukraine's forces found looks to be a containerized command post that is part of the Krasukha-4 mobile electronic warfare system. The Krasukha-4 is primarily designed to detect and jam large radars, such as those on airborne early warning and control aircraft, such as the U.S. Air Force's E-3 Sentry, and spy satellites.
Ukrainian forces reportedly found this command post container outside of the capital Kyiv. Twitter user @UAWeapons was among the first to identify it as most likely being a component of the Krasukha-4 system, which is also known by nomenclature 1RL257, based on a picture that had emerged online. A complete Krasukha-4 consists of two vehicles, both based on the 8x8 KAMAZ-6350 truck, one with the electronic warfare (EW) system and the other carrying the command post module.

Fun thread to read. Let’s hope it’s true.

Fascinating video and audio:
The best part is where a Ukrainian jammer whistles "Dixie..."
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The sinking of this ship is a HUGE deal.
- It's a supply ship and was docked at the port of one of the first cities to fall in the early days of the war.
- Secondary explosions destroyed a fuel dump and munitions dump.
- Getting that boat out of the way for another supply ship will be a major undertaking.
- Other ships that were damaged will need extensive repairs.
- The Ukrainians are silent on how they did it. Speculation runs from ballistic missile attach, to a commando raid. Keep the Russians guessing is the strategy.

Well, there goes all of Ukraine’s support.

It’s ok, it’s psyops. Since Russia considers them part of the same nation, a Traitor’s theme fucks with their heads.

@jon-nyc I saw that yesterday. It's clearly a residential area of no military value, other than being a potential spot for snipers.
The White House actually said "War Crimes" yesterday.
The link from the New York Times I posted earlier talks about Russian soldiers "clearing" residential areas.

I can’t imagine the anxiety.

A joke from Moscow: "According to Putin the special military operation is really a conflict btw Russia and NATO about World dominance. Whats the situation now?" "Russia has lost 15000 troops, 6 generals, 500 tanks, 3 ships, 100 planes and 1000 trucks. NATO hasn't arrived yet."
