Russian wives tricked into exposing pilot husbands behind Ukraine civilian attack

By Jesse O’Neill
March 30, 2023

Ukraine hacktivists tricked a group of Russian military wives into posing for a photo shoot that outed the identities of their husbands — who were purportedly responsible for bombing a Mariupol theater-turned-shelter last March, killing hundreds of civilians.

The virtual false-flag operation exposed 12 elite Kremlin combat pilots to potential war crime charges in connection with both the brutal theatre massacre and hundreds of other airstrikes on Ukrainian homes and businesses, the Kyiv Post reported.

It was spearheaded by Cyber Resistance, a Ukrainian hacker group that engages in guerrilla warfare, and InformNapalm, a Ukraine volunteer journalism outfit that investigates Russian war efforts, according to the latter group.

Cyber Resistance was able to hack into the email of Col. Sergey Atroshchenko, commander of the 960th Assault Aviation Regiment, stationed in occupied Crimea, according to InformNapalm.

Posing as a Russian officer in the regiment, the hackers contacted Antroshchenko’s wife and convinced her to organize a photo shoot with the wives and girlfriends of the other pilots, supposedly to boost morale, the organization said.

Russia to offer food for North Korean weapons - US

By Antoinette Radford
BBC News
March 31, 2023

Russia is sending a delegation to North Korea to offer food in exchange for weapons, US national security spokesperson John Kirby has said.

Mr Kirby said any arms deal between North Korea and Russia would violate UN Security Council resolutions.

The US has previously accused North Korea of supplying arms to the Russian military in Ukraine and the Wagner group of Russia mercenaries.

Pyongyang earlier denied the claims.

Mr Kirby told a news conference the US had new information about a deal.

"We also understand that Russia is seeking to send a delegation in North Korea and that Russia is offering North Korea food in exchange for munitions," he said.

The security spokesperson said the US was monitoring the situation, and the alleged deal, closely.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Well,there HAS been an awful lot of "social sharing" between Soviet soldiers and Ukrainian women over the decades.

There seems to be some preparatory activity going on in Melitopol lately, similar to what took place in Kherson:

Have you played 'World of Warships'?  I've played 'World of Tanks', but I lack the patience to be an effective tanker.  Prefer playing SPGs.

Yeah, it's slower moving and more user friendly, and good for stress relief.  I generally play the German battleships and the USS Massachusetts, "Big Mamie"!

Good riddance.  That guy openly supported genocide.

"We'll defeat everyone, we'll kill everyone, we'll rob everyone we need to. Everything will be as we like it," he was shown saying in a video last September.

⚡️High-profile Russian propagandist killed in explosion in St Petersburg cafe.

An explosion in a cafe in the center of St. Petersburg killed Russian propagandist and war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky and injured 15 others on April 2, Russian media reported.

He had it coming.

Weird Guns Used in the Russo-Ukrainian War

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog

https://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=54559

“AK Guy” Brandon just dropped the fourth installment of his “Weird Guns Being Used in Ukraine Right Now” on YouTube, showing some of the funky, modified, and just plain ancient weapons be used in active combat there. The first installment is age limited and non-embeddable, but the other three are below.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYMgYpavdB4

Highlights:

•  Both sides are using he original Maxim belt-fed machine guns, a World War I mainstay “patented in 1883. Timeline-wise this weapon was designed closer to the beginning of the American revolution in 1776 than it was to the current Ukrainian conflict.”

•  PKM machine guns taken off armored vehicles and converted for individual use. Which is more difficult than it sounds, since the firing mechanism is triggered by an electric solenoid.
“They had to rig up an entirely new firing system to rig up to these things, and quickly, and frankly I’m impressed. Ghetto gunsmith to ghetto gunsmith, crisp internet high five.”

•  Chechen soldiers (assuming there are any of them still around) are better equipped than Russian soldiers.

•  “You’re seeing all sorts of modern munitions, anti-armor stuff, aircraft drones. But then in the exact same confrontation, you’re also having guys that are carrying around weapons that are so old that their great grandfathers could have easily carried in the Great War to end all wars. And while the reality of war is obviously very tragic, the significance of some of the stuff being used in the field is extremely interesting.”


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJoAam1m9cE&t=1s

Highlights:

•  “Modified mortar RPG rounds…in guerrilla warfare, it’s always useful to have a couple of rednecks around.”

•  That ridiculous “six antipersonnel grenades attached to an RPG” thing.

•  “Some poor Ivan got handed a squirrel killer (a Chinese QB-57 single shot air rifle) and was thrown into the middle of 21st century combat with drones and tanks and was told good luck, have fun. It’s no wonder a lot of young Russian men are leaving the country rather than being conscripted…nothing says the government cares about your well-being quite like being tossed into bleep combat with a Red Ryder from A Christmas Story.”

•  Russia is also using World War II era DPM or DP-28 Degtyarev machine guns. “It’s basically like a PKM, if a PKM wasn’t belt fed and was instead fed by a pizza dish. It’s the closest thing to a full dinner plate most Soviets ever got to see.”

•  Other World War II era machine guns seeing combat: MP40s, Sturmgewehr (STG) 44s and MG 42s.
