why b/w? this isnt art class.

Apparently the belt-buckle gate is key to identify the nationality of the corpse seen in the picture.

Looks like the fight is now on which country this belt buckle belongs to.

There is no "fight".

That's Russian naval SOF. You can literaly see the Russian navy belts and iff markings in the video.

The footage is desaturated, because I'm 100% convinced, those are white armbands, and I'm equaly 100% convinced this footage was not edited by whoever made that video, but ppl who are working the PR, post production.

It also remains completely unlogical to why the Ukrainians would even attempt to committ to such an assault, and waste their SOF, a whole platoon no less, on a tiny, still contested little strip like that, where they would be completely exposed to the Russian navy and airforce.
While they need every single one of those people elsewhere.

Well I just came out of the voting booth and did something I've never done before, I actually voted tactically.

There are state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia (where I live, now you know). I actually split my two votes between the AfD and CDU. I voted for the AfD candidate in my district and for the CDU party list. I just couldn't wholeheartedly vote AfD as some of their comments regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine just rubbed me the wrong way, even though I can easily agree with some of the relative clauses they utter, but still...

Then again I cannot simply overlook what the CDU has done to Germany's infrastructure, energy disposition (nuclear phase-out etc.) and armed forces. Now, to be fair most of that was quintessentially Merkelian, but the party followed her to their doom. The AfD OTOH seems to be the only political party in Germany that even knows how to spell "Flüssigsalzreaktor", which would certainly diminish Russia's economic weight and its leverage on European politics.

So since Merz is a somewhat acceptable candidate to me I will give the CDU one final chance to unf#ck themselves and come up with a combined economic-infrastructure-defence programme for the next federal elections, I will keep my eyes and ears open as ever and see if Berlin's dipsh!ts actually manage to derive some lessons from this war.

EDIT: Typos

Hope you didn't vote for the POS Eugen Schmidt.

A foreign agent with an alleged double passport a Russian one.

The AfD is unvotable at the moment antivaxxers and putinism galore.

Subversive and unpatriotic guy working for Russia as a mole in Germany.

See? Fighting over a belt buckle.

All I see is a navy symbol (which is pretty universal), MC pattern cam and what seems to be an arm band. Things that can be found on both sides.
And also a javelin.

Key word "I believe". It's an assumption.

We don't know anything about that video and barely what it shows.

They could be Russians, they could be Ukrainians. Both sides have lied, though it could be argued Ukraine is very found of bombastic claims.

A Czech-made RM-70 multiple launch rocket system has been spotted in Ukraine. RM-70 MLRS have been produced in Czechoslovakia since 1972. The RM-70 can be considered an analogue of the Soviet Grad MLRS, but the system has a number of distinct advantages. For example, it has greater cross-country ability and is able to hit targets at a greater distance. Until now, about fifty such MLRS remained in the Czech Republic, most of them were decommissioned and were in storage.

Russkies propagandist makers of the video are confused enough. At start of the video is RM-70 Grad donated to Ukraine by Czechia, but all video presents RM-70M1 made by Excalibur Army during 2014 and 2018 years for Azerbaijan...

Wow, it's like they will literally believe anything....

Nope !

Not those. They are specificaly Russian.

Ukrainians have their own and it's always a variation of anchor with the Coat of Arms gold trident for Navy, and anchor with Wings, for Marines.

Soviet variant with star.

In comparison, Ukrainian navy belt, with the gold trident:

"Expert"

You don't need to be an expert. Just do some quick search.

Key word "I believe". It's an assumption.

Listen, fair enough, but the evidence is so far in favour of Russian SOF presence instead of their UA counterparts.

About the last part, really mate, just the Ukrainians ? :v

Bingo!

The Ukrainian navy uses their state emblem on the belt buckle instead.

But I'm sure that the Russians let Ukrainians infiltrate Snake Island to replace the belts without anyone noticing ...

They forgot to B/W it.

The NGO he works with is only paid to contest Ukrainian claims, not Russian ones. I wonder who pays for their "expenses" ?

 

[Minimalist]

Why did no one pay attention to the pattern on the military uniform? Ukraine uses a pixel pattern
