I had no idea that they remade Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. The AI is still rudimentary. they just make the same game over and over again..

Pretty interesting: US and Russian troops meeting in Syria on 10/10/22 (and not trying to kill each other😛)

The refurbishment of T-62s at the 103rd Armored Repair Plant. At the training ground of the Coastal Troops of the Pacific Fleet, mobilized servicemen of Primorye training on T-80BV tanks and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles. Военный Осведомитель | VK Training of mobilized servicemen at the Krasny Yar training ground in the Trans-Baikal Territory. Военный Осведомитель | VK These reservists are training with T-62 Modernized (including dug in T-62), T-72, mortars, CQC, and towed artillery. Basically, with frontline combatants the Russians have moved on from a war with small numbers of elite professionals-contract infantry to one of a mass people's infantry army, with the professionals/contract troops concentrated in non-frontline roles (Artillery, logistics, command and control, intelligence). It is too early to judge how these forces will be used. If they are used in the East and South, they would effectively allow the Russians to make a general advance. Or the Russians could try to re-open the Northern theater again through Belarus and attack Kyiv. The combat tactics would become dramatically different. Instead of trying to attrit the Ukrainian army to death with firepower, the Russians would actually be able to assault with massed infantry in conjunction with the fire support. This would result in much higher human losses on the Russian side but much higher territorial gains and defeats on the Ukrainian units. This is what Russian leadership most fear; the political backlash from high reservist and conscript losses. It remains to be seen if these potential losses would outweigh the higher potential for victory for the Russian public. Russian reservists in training.

I believe that the force composition for the second invasion of Ukraine will be significantly different. The Russians already have superior self-propelled artillery and missile forces installed in Ukraine. Instead of an artillery army with tanks, this second invasion will have significant infantry forces. So the invasion force would have a much higher infantry to support ratio. The original force had perhaps only 15% professional/contract infantry. This new force would have a ratio several times larger but its infantry quality would not be professional, but would be a reservist/volunteer force. This would effectively bridge the combined arms gap that have greatly reduced Russian offensive operations so far. As far as Tanks and IFVs go the Russians have been performing large scale refurbishing of armored vehicles taken from Soviet stockpiles. Besides new T-90 production contracts, approx. 800 T-62 tanks have been taken out of storage to be refurbished in a 3-year modernization contract with the 103rd Armored Repair Plant in Chita, Russia. The upgrade of the T-62 will include modifications to their sensors, thermals, armor, and armament. The T-62 will no longer just be for the Separatist army and separate volunteer battalions. There may be more Russian tank plants with major contracts like this for their armored vehicles.

The Russians are currently preparing for the second invasion of Ukraine. In reading up on Russian mobilization, it appears that they will continue to collect people into November. So the anticipated 'winter offensive' with up to half a million men will be slated into 2023. The unlucky conscript class of 2022-2023 (130,000 young men, a decrease of 30,000 from 2021-2022- odd?) would also be training. So this group of reservists will be somewhere under 300,000 men in addition to the 70,000 volunteers already collected. The Russians claim that they have already collected 220,000 men. If they manage to reach their 300,000 target by December 1st that means that the reservists will have to conduct various layers of unit (platoon, company, battalion, brigade) training. The 70,000 volunteers on the other hand have been collected since the beginning of the war and should be more advanced in their training. There were also some separate volunteer units being spotted in the Ukraine already. As for Round 2 of this war, I'm thinking late winter at the earliest or early spring.

been catching up with the show. I think the actor for Christian Cole is miscast from episodes 6 onward. A big issue with him is his appearance and voice. He comes across as a soft-spoken/gentle, good looking nice guy. Watching him play a villain (early Jaime lannister type) doesn't really work since he played the nice guy in episodes 1-5.

This youtube personality has made a youtube career taking the man's side of things. it's kind of funny to see a fine woman do this. But it works for her and she is doing well:

I thought the bugs were fixed lol.

Agreed, the story is quite solid and it does use a lot of tropes. But it combines them pretty well. When he gets his spine removed and replaced, my jaw dropped lol. Also what was freaky was how he kept on removing his organic body parts for cyborg ones, until he was just a head and torso. IIRC Motoko was almost entirely cyborg except for her brain.

I think I might eventually need to buy a serious camera for recording.

Did you find the show a bit disturbing too? In an intriguing way, that is. (Addiction/craziness, Body horror, extreme gore). Ghost in the Shell (comic, show, sequel) have an element of body horror as well.
