[Sharing] Once upon a time in a tank brigade – RYBAR 53
adventures in country-404 Every soldier has their own talisman.

[Sharing] Escaping Attrition: Ukraine Rolls the Dice – Big Serge
The Zaporizhia Summer Blockbuster It has been a while since I published anything long-form commenting on the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, and I confess that writing this article gave me a modicum of trouble.
