@pwall921@WarMonitor3 It’s a classic strawman. Western intel doesn't claim 1.2M deaths, they report 1.2M casualties (roughly 450k dead + 750k wounded).
Pro-UA accounts exaggerate it for shock value, and pro-RU accounts use that inflation to call it propaganda.
@WarMonitor3 Context to avoid misunderstanding: No, a "20-35 min life expectancy" does not mean a 100% certainty of death. It is the average time before a soldier becomes a casualty (wounded, killed, or captured). Most are wounded, but heavy drone fire keeps survival times brutally short.
@WarMonitor3 Pro-Russian Telegram "Z-channels" report catastrophic survival rates: a soldier survives just 20-35 mins in assault. Recruitment-to-casualty lifespan is only 10 days to 3 weeks.

@gelu_ionita@InsiderGeo Grok has relied on rumors from social media instead of the official military confirmations from Reuters and Euronews. The drone that threatened the gas platform was Russian, not Ukrainian.
Don't believe everything AI tells you 🤔

@michaeldweiss Embarrassed? You might frame these drills as an embarrassment. Military commanders view them as a massive success. The troops leave the field having learned vital, life-saving lessons that dramatically increase their survivability on a modern battlefield
@wartranslated When warnings about military relay stations are met with insults instead of facts, it proves there are no rational arguments left. This behaviour is typical, and any debate is wasted time.
@wartranslated NATO tried to build a partnership with Russia for more than 30 years, developing dialogue and practical cooperation in areas of common interest. Russia has continuously violated the norms and principles that contributed to a stable and predictable European security order.
@clashreport Lies from Lavrov are expected. The real concern here should be, why can such lies be broadcasted from the UN headquarters?
Maybe speeches should be approved before they can be addressed to the United Nations General Assembly?
I see the implications with "censorship"....
@winkelsdorf@auonsson Would a crew of up to 14 be unusual?
The below safe manning (12-15) would be in the ball park.
1 Master
1 Chief mate
1 Deck Officer
4-6 AB (ratings on deck) (2-3 on each 12h shift)
1 Chief Engineer
1-2 Engineers
2 Engine ratings
1 Chief Cook
@Jemaintiendrai2 @TaylerMMA @WarMonitor3 So, it's quite normal for Russian drones to be equipped with SIM cards from Ukranian, Polish and even Lithuanian operators, to mention a few.
@donny8896779250@tamppaaja_@BRICSinfo A map for a better understanding of the airspace that the Russians freely can use for access to Kaliningrad.
The yellow part of the lower map shows the international airspace in the Baltic Sea.
