Russians are loading something odd to a Duygon-class landing ship at Kronstadt. Anyone seen loads like this?

In otter news the Russian Buyan-M class corvette behind has checkerboard camo at bow and stern to confuse drones and extensive anti-drone netting protecting the bridge and the VLS launcher. #Kronstadt

Nothing tells that you are winning, like construction of sandbag machine gun nests at your naval base on another sea, than the one your enemy is. #Kronstadt

The Russian Parchim-class corvette Aleksin is on the loading pier, most likely as a QRF ship for the Baltiysk naval base. Whenever the base steps up its readiness either a Parchim or a Tarantul gets parked there.

Taittopuukko is a thing. These took part of the Vietnam war too. CIA standard issue 😁

I meant these, but yes, SAM losses would be bad. But I would assume those would be distributed to the firing units mostly.

I wonder if Russia closing the railway crossing to Finland and the Baltics is due to their lack of diesel for the locomotives? Not delivering agreed cargo would be a breach of contract, but now the Russian exporters can claim force majeure. (Pic: Vaunut.Org)

Or something like M-346 FA, that could use the Polish infra for trainers to get spun up quickly

Training of the day: Short range rifle drills and "tactical" reloads for the Finnish Brutality '26. 20 years of IPSC speed reloads has hardwired my brain pretty badly 😂

Looks like the Russian Udaloy-class destroyer Severomorsk sailed out from Baltiysk yesterday. Escorted at least by the Steregushchiy class corvette Soobrazitelnyy.
