what type of vehicle is that?

Looks like Osa missile system. But I'm no expert.

Finally, the map has been drawn properly. Not occupied territories, but roads, which they provide to some extent, but not always. To the right and left and the famous Rasputinica awaits them (mud)

Fuel and logistics problems frustrate Russian advance - analysis

The Russian bear forgot one important thing: fuel. Without proper logistics, no army — no matter how strong — can conquer another.

No, they mean a democratic country in a bloc of democratic countries being an example for the rest of the world. Fox has to make everything about the conspiracy theories their viewers are obsessed with just like the History Channel makes everything about the Knights Templar and the free masons. Catering to the audience.

The lady is also the leader of the "Holos" political party in Ukraine which is pro-EU, so yes, she was talking about a democratic Ukraine in a block of democratic countries.

In further evidence that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is radically changing European views, a survey for the Finnish public broadcaster YLE has found a majority of the country’s population is in favour of joining Nato for the first time. According to the poll, conducted last week over three days before and immediately after the attacks with a representative sample of nearly 1,400 people, 53% of Finns would now support Finland’s accession to Nato, with 28% opposed and 19% unsure. In 2017, the last time YLE’s market researchers polled on the same question, only 19% of Finns were in favour of joining the alliance, while a survey for private broadcaster MTV in January showed 30% supported membership.

not exactly the best situation for smooth and easy logistics...

The Ukrainian minister of internal affairs, Denis Monastyrsky, demanded Russia’s immediate expulsion. “Russia should be expelled from Interpol for violating its basic principles and massive misuse of tools and services to cover up its crimes and persecute political enemies, particularly in Ukraine,” the Ukrainian broadcasting organisation Hromadske . The Guardian has approached Interpol for comment.

Ww 2 reloaded. Even then, the invaders only controlled the controlled roads and fortified cities...

Thanks again to everybody contributing here. I have friends I've met personally in Kiev and follow this discussion closely.

It had two goes to take down that object, it moved 200 - 400 meters between salvo, so a drone?

No idea.

The missile looked "rather big" and the explosion "rather small".

It also seems the man recording was standing at a certain distance since it took a few seconds for the noise to reach him.

a stupid question. Not that the Russian officer corps is made up of idiots.Could it be that they adopted this war plan with flowers waiting for the liberators because they knew, knowing the reality, that that was all they had the capacity to do?

Peti, are you sucking yourself?
"A C-17 aircraft of the NATO Heavy Air Regiment stationed in Papa, Hungary, with Hungarian registration, is delivering 50 German Panzerfaust-3 anti-tank missiles with 200 rockets and 400 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles from the Netherlands to Ukraine. The aircraft will also carry 100 sniper rifles with 30,000 rounds of ammunition from the Netherlands, and two mine-detecting submarines.
This can be seen from a photo posted by the Dutch Ministry of Defence on its website,

Personally I think they were told that 90% of the population would welcome them, just look out for the 10% in jackboots, steel helmets and wearing swastika's. I think they took this literally, and planned to drive from the border to Kiev, in about a day. So not much spare fuel(and I assume tanks burn huge amounts of fuel on a road march, as apposed to being on a transporter). Basic plan to occupy town, and root out the small undersirable elements. Hand back to the nice Ukr and go home, with some nylons for the Mrs.

When I first saw that image I thought it was a US Air Force plane because they have similar codes and markings on their tail fins. But now that you mentioned it, the triangle on top does identify it as Hungarian air force equipment. ?
