To Those Who Still Think ...

 ... that Russians are blind, naive and stupid. Especially against "plans" and ruses kindergarten child can see through. 

Zelensky’s election call a ploy – Putin aide. Kiev only wants a ceasefire, which Moscow believes it will use to rearm and regroup its military

Liberation of Seversk opened the road to Slovyansk and, in a classic 404 and its curators' manner, these idiots unleash ... PR "offensive" at ... Kupyansk. Well, here are some views of this PR "offensive" (I mean it--it is PR) aka (in Russia) "meat storms". 

A bunch of terrorists is thrown into the meat grinder and traditionally are killed and maimed. 

And here is the issue with what many people still cannot grasp--SMO exposed completely a massive circle of the "experts" both in Russia and the West who lived on 404 propaganda. They range from "military" shysters such as Rybar in Russia to American Generals such as Kellogg and Keane, among many others who discredited themselves not only as military amateurs but people without honor. So, what's left for them after such a manifestation of own malfeasance and stupidity? Of course to double, triple down on the BS avoiding as much as possible reality on the ground and not explaining the difference between the attack in platoon to company's strength (which is a maneuver and preceded by "movement to contact") and offensive which, hey I use only US sources, per US Army ADP FM 3-90 must have such characteristics:

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OFFENSE 3-2. Successful offenses share these characteristics: 1. Audacity. 2. Concentration. 3. Surprise. 4. Tempo. See ADP 3-90 for more information on the purposes and characteristics of the offense.

So, as you can see yourself--those suicidal "offensives" lack pp. 2, 3 and 4, and result in getting own forces into the fire cauldron and their annihilation. But as I noted, most what Western "military thought" afforded us is PR and BS. Reality, however, is traditional--all attacks have been repelled with massive casualties to 404 terrorists. Here is today's map of Kupyansk. 

This is everything you need to know. 

In Continuation Of The Previous Post.

News from the Russian washing machines and dishwashers industry. I was mistaken, I stated about 90 nanometers in 2026. Well, stupid me))

The research institutes MERI and NIITM, which are part of the Element Group of Companies, have completed the creation of the first cluster systems in Russia for plasma-chemical deposition (PCB) and etching (PCT). These installations will make it possible to produce integrated circuits according to 65 nm topological standards on wafers with a diameter of 200 mm and 300 mm. The institutes are among the five world leaders with competencies in the creation and production of such equipment. The main executor of the project was MERI, which provided the construction of clean production facilities, the installation and connection of prototypes of equipment, the development of technological processes and their testing. NIITM, in turn, became the main co-contractor, developing the equipment itself and taking part in the tests. Installations for the level of 65 nm on 300 mm wafers will provide, among other things, the long-term need for domestic microelectronics, said Vasily Shpak, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. According to him, the modularity of the platform is of particular value, since it allows you to work out processes on existing equipment and serves as the basis for the transition to more subtle technological processes. Element explained that the equipment makes it possible to use the units both at existing and planned production facilities, where technological standards implemented on 200 mm wafers are used.

Shpak complained last month about "underfunding" of some of the programs to the order of 33 billion Rubles. It is significant sum but not huge. 90 and 65 nm topology covers overwhelming majority of military (and space program) applications and, judging by the fact that lithography for 65 nm is ready, next step--wild guess ... I don't know. It is known that demonstrators for 25 and even 14 nm have been in existence in Russia for at least couple of years. Per useless functions for smart-phones, Russians do not mind using Xiaomi's products. So, you see, now Russian shovels and washing machines will become deadlier and ARE already being controlled by C4ISR structure which rivals, and even surpasses in some aspects, US military. Don't tell Sarah Paine, though, especially about roads. 

Why The US Loses Wars, Constantly.

Because US edukeishinal institutions produce such ambassadors to Russia like this cretin:

Or this credentialed idiotess who knows absolutely nothing about either Russia or war, but who teaches "strategy" in the US Naval War College. 

I can only repeat famous quip by incomparable H.L. Menken. 

“It is the classic fallacy of our time that a moron run through a university and decorated with a Ph.D. will thereby cease to be a moron.”

People like Paine wouldn't be allowed anywhere near any military educational facility in Russia as a person utterly unqualified to teach anything other than, at best, some history in the middle school. How the person with absolute zero military education and command experience can teach "strategy" without trivializing it to the point of fairy tales fed to the creme de la creme of the US officer corps is mind-boggling. But then again, she wouldn't understand most of the operational and strategic level writing in Voennaya Mysl (Military Thought) even when translated and explained to her by real professionals. You merely need to be an articulate ... moron. 

Lavrov About This ...

 ... Hooley guy, a very unfortunate second name in Russian. 

So, in a summary of rather astonishing events of this month ...

I am merely trying to constrain my desire to scream--didn't I tell you so? Ah, well ...

Neural networks really are funny. 

Vae Victis.

 Strobe Talbott as herald of collapse. 

Nima and Me.

 Live in 15 minutes. 

Then, in 2 hours--Danny, Scott and me--also live. 

Pay Attention ...

 ... to this gal's boyfriend, while she is being robbed. These are eurotourists in Columbia. 

I don't know all details of this, but it took Columbian men to stop the crime.
