From what I've seen so far from the Cybertruck, the best thing that Musk could do to support the Ukrainian war effort would be to donate every single Cybertruck made so far to the Russian Army...

Probably found a third party intermediary just like his Starlink terminals the Russians have.

Did nobody in the media catch the Generals response to German (and NATO) equipment/weapons being used in Russia? Essentially, while the equipment/weapons USED to be German, now that they had been accepted by Ukraine they were no longer German but now were Ukrainian weapons/equipment - to be used however the Ukrainian high command deemed appropriate.
Nice little semantic shift that could be used by any NATO donor to explain their seemingly indifferent attitude towards their cast-off's being seen in Russia without requiring a high profile, public, political retraction.

Once again Musk reveals his true colors: white, red and blue. He could shut that car off in an instant if his colors were red, white and blue as he likes to pretend.

What would be interesting to know is if the truck is sending data live to Tesla data servers continuously. Tesla vehicles are always sending data when they are driving of the environment their are driving through in order to improve to autonomous self drive function. There could be some interesting data from Gronzy being sent to Tesla and then on to the CiA….

Would a Cybertruck hit with whatever the usual drone warhead is tend to the long, slow or the violent, sudden end of the combustion spectrum? Or some nasty combination?
Don't need the armament, but I really want that truck.I see an opportunity for a Toyota vs. Tesla 'technical off'

We will see how this plays out. In general while very pro Ukraine he has been on point more often than not. Only Operator Starsky has consistently had better information (of the pro Ukrainian youtube sites I scan)
Post from Ukraine Matters
Sun Tzu said "When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard" Good advice then likely being followed now although I expect to see the last remaining bridge damaged enough that all heavy equipment will have to be abandoned and heavy HIMARS and FPV operations against any river crossing attempts.
The Sapper in me cringes at the thought of having to try to create a class 60 river crossing of any type under the conditions present in this war.

Or, especially given Musk's stance on at least the current U.S. government & his reluctance to share with same, who knows if some three-letter agency is already looking for (vacuuming in?) those goodies out in the ether?
Meanwhile, in neighbouring Belarus, the boss there is throwing out the nuclear "they MADE me hit them!" narrative - maybe so HIS boss doesn't have to say it out loud right now?

One more tidbit: unconfirmed, but an initial report of RUS taking air force dudes (including some from tracking radar stations) and throwing them into Kursk as what sounds like a sorta-RAF-Regiment adjacent thing? An excerpt (Chrome translated) ...

Surprising there is no discussion on the new revelations the Ukrainians were the ones who bombed Nordstream. There was talk about going Article 5 on Russia over this that they knew at the time was Ukraine’s doing… no big deal?

Read back a few pages. But there is still a bunch of questions to be answered on it - as Russia had a diving vessel in the area as well.Surprising there is no discussion on the new revelations the Ukrainians were the ones who bombed Nordstream.

Some of the ‘evidence’ is hearsay and circumstantial at best.
But who could blame Ukraine?

And were they Ukrainians a ting on their own, as a black op of SVU, or as Russian agents?
