That’s correct. Those ‘lego’ pieces are the fuses removed from the mines to disarm them.

All crew survived, which is great to hear. At least the Challenger is getting put to good use in their offensive. Just like every other piece of military equipment, you’re always going to lose some.

Thanks! Very useful for the likes of myself who is new to Mastodon and wondering who to follow in this space.

Disgusting. Although I’m not surprised.

When they’re not busy stealing washing machines, they’re mining them 🤦🏻‍♂️

Boost. There were several other great ones I tried, such as Sync and Relay, but Boost suited me best.

Welcome! I’m betting that a lot of others have done the same.

Yes, I can see Ukraine using these with great effect.

Ukraine is well within their rights to attack strategic targets inside of Russia. They are at war. It might actually wake some of the Russian citizens up. Welcome to Putin’s war.

Lol! Ivan, get your ass back inside, it’s only been 13 minutes since you last checked.

And yet astonishingly you will still have certain African countries which will still side with Russia.

Hopefully they have completely broken through the first line of defences in that area now. There are more defence lines before they get to Tokmak though. Tokmak itself is fortified as well.

Without air support, this was always going to be a very difficult counteroffensive. They are doing great work in what must be super challenging circumstances.

It can depend on the area you’re going into, but things like continuous learning of new skills, as well as keeping up-to-date with the latest happenings in that field, are always good ones to do.

Russia took quite a bit of territory in the northern parts early on, which Ukraine have since taken back. They’ve also taken some ground back that was lost a few years ago from the east.

Bombing a cathedral in a UNESCO world heritage site, along with destroying grain recently. How low can Russia go…

Wow, that’s impressive accuracy from the drone operator. This war really has shown that drones will be part of modern warfare going forward.

That’s great! I wish that happened with me. I got my parents on it, but others were not willing to try it out. In the end, pretty much everyone I knew stuck with WhatsApp, and we’re still there.

I’m not on Facebook, so don’t use Messenger. I communicate with 90% of my friends and family using WhatsApp.

I would like to use Signal, but have the same problem as you - More than 90% of my friends and family don’t use Signal unfortunately.

These are big numbers, especially when looked at together. 700+ personnel, 38 artillery systems, 27 vehicles, oh and 1 bridge disabled. There might be little ground gained recently, but so much is being done on the battlefield to shape for future success. Great work heroes of Ukraine 🇺🇦

Exactly the same here. I’m eagerly awaiting the Boost for Lemmy app!
