RT @JackDetsch: FORT IRWIN, California—For as long as the United States has had an army, U.S. infantry soldiers have stuck by one motto: “Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.”
But fighting on the U.S. Army’s largest training ground last month, Lt. Isaac McCurdy and his platoon of infantry troops, playing a fictional enemy of the United States, found themselves up against a very different kind of foe: one with camera lenses for eyes and sheet metal for skin.
These weren’t your average flesh-and-blood men that they were fighting. They were machines.

RT @kromark: Finally, a comparison of the @planet high-res images of the Morozovsk Russian military airbase, taken on Apr. 4th and Apr. 6th, reveals no signs of damaged or destroyed aircraft. Some switched their positions, on the Apr. 6th image you can even see a plane taking off (or landing)

RT @bradyafr: There are no visibly destroyed aircraft in new imagery of Morozovsk air base in Russia following recent Ukrainian drone strikes on the site.
Many aircraft have moved since the strikes and today's imagery shows a plane using the runway.

Video from Ukraine’s 25th Airborne Brigade showing a Russian tank hitting a mine. The shortage of tanks and armored vehicles means that Russian units will often fit as many soldiers on these vehicles as possible during assaults.

Ramzan Kadyrov posted a video yesterday with Apti Alaudinov the commander of Akhmat spetsnaz and Alexander "Ratibor" Kuznetsov who led Wagner's 1st Assault Detachment. They say that Ratibor has agreed to join Akhmat with other former members of Wagner. Ratibor was the most prominent of Wagner's assault detachment commanders.

This is notable after attempts to subsume Wagner into Rosgvardia and the MoD. Ratibor is likely the most influential of Wagner's former commanders, so he may be able to recruit more former Wagner members to join Akhmat.

After the battle of Bakhmut, some Wagner and Chechen officials/commanders started a war of words as well. https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1664321596595617821#m
