They've been tolerating small arms. Anything larger, like S-300, or the migs has lead to an escalation. We'll see if they make an appearance. The decision whether to escalate again will come from the US, not the England. This is another "Poland" situation and I think the Americans will shut this down before the Russians have to.
I think armoured vehicles alone unlikely to make the situation better for the Ukrainians. They have such poor fuel economy when supplies are low. We don't know what the situation is like for the Ukrainians, maybe they're desperate for APCs.
he he. They have not yet sanction the matryoshka doll.
It seems the Russian units being pulled back from Kyiv is being pulled into Belarus. Most people seems to thinks these will be sent to eastern Ukraine after a period of rest and refit. But it is not inconceivable they will be deployed to try to either physically cut western Ukraine off from poland and Romania, or simply by bringing the war zone to western ukraine border, make it disconcertingly risky for NATO to attempt to send supplies into ukraine.
Mags like those you mentioned are becoming unreadable. about 20 years ago, I read Forbes or Newsweek almost on a daily basis. Now it is a total waste of time. They are all becoming parts of the same echo chamber.

Interesting that the RPG detonated at the rear of the tank, and destroyed the heavy machine gun. After the white smoke was cleared, the rear of the tank appeared undamage. My guess is the RPG is fitted with proximity fuze, and detonated without contact.
Typo error in images: "frame" should be "flame".
Interesting theory. We know there's at least one British mercenary there, and very likely a second. Any serving soldier there won't be recognised as a serving soldier. Mariupol was too close to the front line at the start so they likely would have been given the order to withdraw.
Whatever happens in Mariupol, some Anglos will be captured alive in this war. There's simply too many of them not to.
Sending from where ? They would bring them from the UK on a boat and drive them after onloading them in Germany or Poland ? It will take month to do so... and they will need fuel too and drivers.
Even Slovakia still didn't send their s-300.
All talks at this point.
