Apparently, the Russian 72d Mechanized Brigade decided to pull back from Bakhmut ... without orders to do so.
Wagner chief wasn't impressed.

Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available. look at the next paragraph and click here at the end of the first sentences to see Ukrainian losses.

In Vietnam besides the Small Arms fire there was the 51 caliber and radar guided 37 MM we had to worry about as both were devastating to any American aircraft.
During Cambodia we kicked butt however during the Laotian invasion our butts were handed back to us as after two weeks the were no more LOH-6s left as all had been shot down or were not airworthy. There were no Manpads or shoulder fired antiaircraft missiles unless you count an unguided RPG (Black Hawk down) or a SAM missile which was larger than most of the aircraft we were flying... Ukraine sucks as there are many many things and people wanting to kill you; I am sorry we as a species can not seem to live without some people killing each other ! However if there is a killing that must be done to protect you or yours then do it and do not look back... you will sleep better afterwards.

No that was taken during an airshow and the bird had two wing tip smoke canisters expelling smoke for effect and making it easier for people to follow the jet. The higher the humidity the easier for a vapor cone to form. C-130's in Vietnam would look like their 4 engines and props were creating an 6 to 10 foot tunnel of cloud as they poored the power on during take off.. High Humidity..

This look`s quite big if true :
Hackers claim to have crippled Russia’s banking system Russia: The entire banking system is at a standstill nationwide because the ISP used for banking communication with the Russian Central Bank is down. Infotel, the ISP, is suspected to have been hacked by a pro-Ukraine group. Sberbank's online services also down. Infotel released a message on their site •

The Russians have always used a front line and a back line in battle. Sometimes the back line is used to reinforce the front line however they are also used to shoot any Russian soldiers retreating instead of fighting and holding ground. During WW2 even soldiers who were not issued arms (told to pick up arms from fallen comrades) were shot if they did not continue to advance into enemy positions. Hell of a way to fight a war..!

That's the risk one runs when employing mercenaries - many are in it for the money, and will switch side at the drop of a hat for a higher bid, and almost all of them take exception to being used as cannon fodder and being placed in untenable situations where the employer is actually acting against them or firing upon them. Russia has done both to Wagner, and it was a given that eventually Wagner would turn on them. When you tell a unit to "take that hill", and then start peppering them instead of the enemy with mortars, they're bound to get a little miffed.
I don't like Prigozhin, but can't deny that he has a loyal following among the mercenaries, and has more of the hearts and minds of the Russian people than Putin does. It's noteworthy that he is railing against the military hierarchy rather than the government in general - he's threatening the military brass, but not the government in general. He's also hammering against the Ukraine invasion, and Russian sentiment is pretty high against it already, meaning he is ingratiating himself even further into the hearts and minds of Russians. While Wagner does not have the military strength to take on the entire Russian army alone, Prigozhin DOES have a loyal following amonst the mercenaries and the Russian population, so it's possible to see this going tits-up for the Russian political structure in a heartbeat if they defend their brass too hard against what are to Russians pretty clearly violations of the welfare and interests of the average Russian. Those folks have a history of throwing revolutions and uprisings, and inviting everyone to play. . •

Funny how the media got to sink its teeth into the Wagner thing. There's been deafening silence on The Ukraine's failing counteroffensive.
