“the intensity of ukrainian drone trikes remains high. in january 2025, a record number of 24 ukrainian strikes have been recorded by open sources. the struck targets reportedly included:”… and after watching this for the past 3 years… how is it possible that russia’s military and intel know where every site is that brings in the ordnance and parts to build (supply chain) them and not have total and complete control before these “drones” are even launched?..
…. please don’t tell the russian people anymore that natostan’$ intel and logisitcs is just too good which is why these attacks “just” keep happening???
yes, the russians are dealing with an adversary in the us empire with the resources and technological sophistication of grenada, right?
we all were informed this will be a long rough fight against an entrenched enemy with seemingly endless resources. however, the us country is buckling and the people are weak and sickened by the entire spectrum government offices. the us is defeatable as the russian people are fighting for their country, as opposed to nato countries and allies who fight for u.s.
“the us is defeatable as the russian people are fighting for their country, as opposed to nato countries and allies who fight for u.s.”… correction: fighting for a increasingly worthle$$ pay$tub. the western cabal has no sovereignty or loyalty to god and country they are khazarian “proxy” terrorist wh0re$!… this is why putin and his government associates made the worst possible choices 8 years after 9/11 not to investigate it using it’s position on the un security council.
i love when ruzzkie are destroying and killing nato dickheads and specially dumb polaks.
there is no place to hide in ukraine … above of below ground. i doubt this deal lasts 60 days.
it just takes time
é, mais 20 ou 30 anos.
southfront now has “waiting for approval” on comments.
ora deixa lá ver, vamos supor que mando alguém dar uma volta ao bilhar grande…
it’s always had it if you’re stupid enough not to have figured out which words it red flags.
nope. i’ve been here for years and have seen plenty of vile shit posted by the numerous people who frequent this site. originally southfront.org was based out of germany but then they were banned and changed addresses. not sure where they’re located now but they’re more restrictive.
prepare ecm for nights, ukis will start done wave during the day… it stops when drone pilot hqs start blowing up fab, ulously… target them in the evening while they are assembling drones, maybe ground penetration radar from satillites might help to locate them, they also love cloud cover, which indicates they are compensating for their drones’ vulnerabilities.
