Let's put it out of twitter:

UK Ministry of Defence intelligence report:

As previously reported, Russia has worked to prepare a small number of T-14 Armata main battle tanks for the type’s first operational deployment in Ukraine.

However, in recent months, deployed Russian forces were reluctant to accept the first tranche of T-14 allocated to them because the vehicles were in such poor condition.

It is unclear exactly what aspects of the vehicles prompted this reaction, but within the last three years, Russian officials have publicly described problems with the T-14’s engine and thermal imaging systems.

In 2021, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu described the planned production run for 2022 as only an “experimental-industrial” batch. Therefore, it is unlikely that any deployed T-14 tanks will have met the usual standards for new equipment to be deemed operational.

Where is the troll that claimed over 100 Armata's to be deployed?

Ukrainian forces pull out of Soledar: Report​

The Ukrainian military has told AFP news agency that its troops have pulled out of Soledar in the eastern Donetsk region, which Russian forces said they captured earlier this month.
“After months of heavy fighting, including over the past weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine left (Soledar) and retreated along the outskirts to pre-prepared positions,” said military spokesman Sergiy Cherevaty.
Al Jazeera could not independently confirm this report.

Russia defence ministry says frigate tests strike capabilities in Atlantic​

The Russian Defence Ministry says that the Admiral Gorshkov tested strike capabilities in the western Atlantic Ocean.

In a statement seen by Reuters, the ministry said the frigate had run a computer simulation on hypersonic Zircon missiles.
Zircon missiles have a range of 900 km (560 miles), and can travel at several times the speed of sound, making it difficult to defend against them. The statement did not say the frigate had launched a missile.

So it didn't fire any? It just ran a game simulation on the missiles being fired? What every Western gamer does as routine and the Russian navy sees this as significant? They needed to send a ship to the Western Atlantic to do what they could have done in harbour?

Russia has begun mobilising Ukrainian men who had previously been deported from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Russia has begun mobilising Ukrainian men who had previously been deported from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Source: Luhansk Oblast Military Administration on Telegram

Quote: "Men, deported from temporarily occupied territories, are being mobilised on the territory of the Russian Federation. This is one of the reasons why the Russian government decided to issue passports at their place of residence."

Details: The Russians also continue to recruit convicted Ukrainian citizens who were forcibly taken to Russian prisons.

In particular, such prisoners are being actively recruited to the Wagner Group private military company in Krasnodar (Russia).

According to the Luhansk Oblast Military Administration, people who are serving sentences for serious crimes are actively urged to take part in the war against Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the oblast's second largest indoor sports arena [the largest one was Luhansk-based Ice Palace of Sports, destroyed by the invaders] is overflowed with wounded Russians. They are currently trying to save more than 600 of their fighters there.

The Russians also have certain problems with leaders in many settlements in the temporarily occupied territories.

According to the Luhansk Oblast Military Administration, the invaders gradually lose their trust for local collaborators, so they bring officials from Russia.

Frag the Russian officers.

The Zircon has completed numerous tests, including its final range (1000km) test in the Barents Sea before entering serial production. A moment's reflection might indicate why the cost and provocation of firing hypersonic missiles in the freaking Atlantic might be a bad idea. Try clutching at better straws...

Why? It has a range of 1000 km. If fired in international waters in an away direction from anyone's territorial waters, it can't hurt anyone.

Having completed numerous tests means nothing. Did it pass the tests or is it still in the prototype stage and this is all hype?

So a journalist who specialises exclusively in Israel and Palestine and is now not selling much decided to get into the Russo-Ukrainian conflict because that is where the money is which he has no experience of and you swallow it?
