The War in the Ukraine

Would be funny if the PLA parade participants brought their own IADS network to ensure the safety of their participants. Although on the flip side, it would be a hell of an excuse to get involved directly if Ukraine attacked the parade and killed participating Chinese troops or officials.

But joking aside, the ceasefire is probably more intended as a celebratory gift to frontline troops to allow them to rest and recover a little as opposed to any deeper reason. Moscow will be has heavily defend as possible during the parade, so any Ukrainian attempts to attack it will not have any remotely serious chance of succeeding.

They will do nothing, too risky and might have been damaging optics wise.

Against the backdrop of news about the use of DPRK soldiers in battles in the Kursk region of Russia, new information about them has begun to appear. Chairman of the Russian State Duma Defense Committee Andrei Kartapolov reported that now the DPRK servicemen have completed the tasks assigned and are starting to prepare for new ones, the details of which will become known later. Now we can assume that the DPRK servicemen will be involved in the battles in Donbass. Previously, it was assumed that they would be used in the Belgorod region of Russia, but the battles there are taking place in a limited area and their intensity is low. Let me remind you that earlier in 2024, Russia and the DPRK ratified a strategic partnership agreement. In the video, you can see episodes of the training of DPRK servicemen in Russia.

An episode of the assault by a Russian unit, a stronghold of the Ukrainian army. The location of the shooting is not reported. The assault is carried out by servicemen of the 37th separate motorized rifle Budapest Don Cossack Brigade named after Shchadenko, part of the 36th combined arms army of Russia. It was not possible to identify the Ukrainian servicemen participating in the battle. Grenades and small arms are used during the assault on the stronghold. Also, two TM-62 anti-tank mines are thrown into the dugout, at the end and at the beginning. Judging by the video, after the second mine explosion, the dugout was completely destroyed.

That’s not a penetration, it’s the opening for the coaxial, not unless the round went in through the machine gun barrel anyways.

Yeah, but it seems it was actually hit in that area right under the hole of the coaxial blowing off the muzzle hider(unless it was field sawed off) and causing the plates to separate


For reference

What would be the consequences if Xi was injured or killed by ukraine? i think it is impossible, but i am curious anyway.

Despite the fact that the training of DPRK soldiers in the Russian army has been known for a week, it was still unclear how it happened. The first interviews with Russian military instructors answered many questions. According to the intelligence service of the Republic of Korea (NIS), 15,000 DPRK soldiers were trained in the Kursk region of Russia, with losses in battles amounting to 4%. Touching on the specifics of training DPRK soldiers in Russia. The average age of DPRK soldiers is 25 years old, physically strong, trained, executive and motivated. In Russia, soldiers were taught the specifics of modern combat, taking into account the threats from drones. The language barrier was overcome. Also, a Russian serviceman reported on the weapons received from the DPRK. More details about everything in the video.
