Hurricane Carbon SHOP THIS MODELHappy Cat Boat Specification Comparison  SAILING INNOVATION SINCE THE 1960sSince the 1960s. With the purchase of the Semperit inflatable boat production in 1986, the Grabner company also took over the production of the first demountable catamaran – the Semperit Kat. This catamaran has been in production since the 1960s. In 1986, Grabner purchased Semperit, which included taking over the production of the first demountable catamaran, the Semperit Kat, a boat that was eventually renamed to the one we know and love today, the Happy Cat. The Happy Cat StoryIn production since the 1960s, Happy Cat’s innovations are backed by decades of research and insights from recreational and professional sailors alike. The first catamarans were made of wood, but today’s models include parts made of aluminum and rubber, providing a lightweight and optimized sailing experience. The most recent upgrade of the Happy Cat Evolution and Hurricane to a high-tech carbon mast shows that the innovative DNA of the Grabner brand will continue to push what’s possible in the inflatable catamaran space. SHOP HAPPY CAT BOATS The Finest Handmade Inflatable BoatsHappy Cat boats are made from high quality, eco-friendly materials, and are handmade in the Grabner factory in Austria. The catamaran boats and hulls are made of a special EPDM/natural rubber boat skin that is easy to repair, The inner coating of natural rubber offers maximum airtightness so the air stays in the hose longer and you can do more sailing, and less pumping. Also see our hand pump .  It’s one thing for a boat of Happy Cat’s caliber to fit in two to three bags, it’s another to only need 30-40 minutes to set up and hit the water. Once you’re on the water, the right conditions can produce speeds of over 20 knots. A piece of paradise that only a sailor knows. Clear skies and a strong wind await.

Read more "...Pros: Very Sturdy Boat , Love the Floor, Easy to set up and break down, Great boat to get into difficult places..." Read more Customers appreciate the value of the water flotation device. They say it's one of the best inflatable boats for the buck, and a great raft for the price and quality. Some customers also mention that the design is hard to believe for the value. "...The Excursion 5 has an appealing price point of approximately $130 and fits up to 5 people. It load capacity is higher as well...." Read more "...Overall for the price this boat is great . It makes it even greater that you can put it in the trunk of your car and take it anywhere." Read more "...the others that believe this one provides the best quality and value for the price ...." Read more "...This is an excellent product for the price and we all had a blast. Enjoy!"

Some mention that it's a good size for 2 adults, 1 dog, and a cooler. Others say that the inflatable seats that it came with are too small. The storage bag they give you is over sized, but the boat and floor will not fit in its original bag. It's heavy and large, and not a small package. "... Three adults are pretty decent but two is ideal. I first took this boat out on the lake without a trolling motor with four adults - bad decision...." Read more "...What I liked about this boat was that it would fit 4 people . Also it had a floor you can place in the boat to make it more sturdy...."

Some mention that it performs great, the oars really help out and do a great job, and it is easy to maneuver. The included high output manual air pump works great, and the paddles work ok. However, others say that the bag that comes with the boat doesn't work very well, the rowing system sucks, and for extended use a motor is an absolute must. The oas are a disaster and 3 of the 4 valves are not operating correctly straight out of the box. "...and resistant to puncturing. Inflates easily, and pump that comes with it is excellent . The solid floor insert, makes the board sturdy..." Read more "...Yes, maybe a bite here and there, but the water is just too shallow to get anything good. Dock fishing was ok at best...." Read more "...The bag works well for life vests , the oars, the trolling motor mount that I also bought, and some other gear...." Read more "...in the water when moored into the oar locks, but the entire system works very well ...." Read more Customers are mixed about the portability of the water flotation device. Some mention it's light enough to carry alone, while others say it'd be too heavy for them to lift. "...I put the battery in and carried to the water. Yes the boat is heavy . I think it is around 120lbs to carry. With two or three people it is easy...." Read more "...It takes up less space than a canoe would, and is lighter than an aluminum rowboat . It’s replaced both of those for us." Read more "...As others have mentioned, it's very heavy for a single bag so I split the load by putting the roll-up floor into another duffel...." Read more "...Once inflated the boat is pretty heavy and large, so plan your put-in locations well...." Read more Reviews with images

Best inflatable boats: 6 affordable options for getting on the water
The best inflatable boats encompass a wide array of vessels with varied abilities that are suited to a myriad of purposes…  As a result, it is necessary to offer the following caveat and disclaimer: the term ‘inflatable boat’ can be confusing as there are some large RIBs (Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boats) with multiple high-powered engines that are designed to perform search and rescue operations in the most demanding coastal conditions imaginable, while other inflatable boats are suitable only for playing in a swimming pool or on a calm lake or river. This guide highlights some of the best inflatable boats for various common and specific uses. Even the best inflatable kayak will be wholly unsuited to acting as a yacht tender ( see explainer below ), while the best yacht tender will likely not make an ideal inflatable fishing platform. With so many designs available, it’s crucial to select the right inflatable boat for the job. At a glance:

Inflatable Sport Boats Killer WhaleBest inflatable boat for use as a tender First up on our list is arguably the best value, fully-modular PVC tender that can currently be purchased on the market. Featuring an 1,100 denier thread count and heat-welded seams backed by a 3-year warranty, this inflatable boat is sure to last a long time. Coming in three different sizes with both modular aluminum and air floor options, there is an option to fit the requirements of most cruisers looking for a fully storable tender – a huge benefit for owners of sub-40ft boats. While there are many options available, I would advise buyers to go with one of the 9.8’ or 10.8’ models with the solid, modular aluminum floor, as these have the best performance-to-price ratio. These models will also handle the best when blasting along in chop with up to a 15hp outboard. While the 8.8’ model will be fine for lighter use, the 10.8’ is a lot more boat for not a lot more money or storage space onboard. However, if speed of set-up is your priority, the easiest models to set up and break down are without a doubt the air floor models. Reasons to buy – Heat-welded seams – 3-year warranty – Semi-rigid floor – Includes all necessary accessories like bag, pump, oars, bench, etc. – Some air floor models feature EVA faux teak decking Reasons to avoid – Fairly expensive for a PVC tender (close to some cheaper glued Hypalon options) – Not as rigid as a true RIB – Can only take up to a 15hp outboard – Modular aluminum floor options can be more difficult to install than air floor models – Wide, light inflatable boats without a keel such as these tend to row very poorly Specifications – Size: 10.8 feet – Weight: 80 pounds – Material: h eat-welded re-enforced UV and puncture resistant PVC – Capacity: 5 person  West Marine RIB 350– Tremendous value – Quality materials – Very robust and capable – Big and heavy – Requires serious storage/lifting capabilities – Fiberglass floor will require more maintenance and is also heavier – Still nearly $4,000 – Size: Length: 11 feet 5 inches – Weight: 161 pounds – Material: Floor: fiberglass | Transom construction: fiberglass and birch marine plywood – Capacity: 1320 pounds./4 person Next up on our list is a premium but affordable RIB option for cruisers with either davits or a spot on the foredeck of their yacht, looking for a tender with a lot of capability. This model features a double-floor, lift points, and an integrated anchor locker. At 161lbs and 11’6”, this model is hefty, but this sturdy construction allows the RIB to sport up to a 25hp outboard. Coming in at under $4,000, the RIB-350 is priced well below many of the other offerings on the market, and is of sound construction and materials. While the RIB-350 is a very good and affordable dinghy option for serious cruisers, I would like to see a double aluminum floor option in the future. Buy it now on West Marine Inflatable kayaks and other inflatable row boatsWhile the boats above are undoubtedly some of the best fully inflatable boats on the market, they are ill-suited to applications where rowing is preferred or required. For the sake of exploring rivers, streams, or even lakes by paddle, an inflatable kayak is a much better option. Unlike their solid cousins, inflatable kayaks are surprisingly stable, while retaining many of the unique properties of a solid kayak — such as exceptional tracking through the water, good speed, inertia, etc. Inflatable kayaks tend to accomplish these things by having a completely flat bottom, with the exception of a rigid fin that typically slides into place on a stitched track that is integral to the bottom of the kayak. From there, there are many unique and proprietary features that differentiate one inflatable kayak offering from another. For small boats of 20-28’ without the ability to launch or store a proper tender, an inflatable kayak can often be a way to add versatility without many of the downsides that come with owning and operating what is essentially another vessel (i.e. cost, storage space and additional fuel storage).  Intex Explorer K2 Kayak– Very directionally stable thanks to the included skeg – Lightweight and easy to carry – Fast – Comfortable to sit in – Only comes in one color – No storage nets or bin – Size: Display length: 58.74 centimetres – Weight: 13.4 kilograms – Material: vinyl – Capacity: 350 pounds / 2 person The Intex Explorer is the company’s no-frills, functional inflatable kayak that is designed for two people. Although not as stiff and robust as more premium options, the Index Explorer will work wonderfully well for exploring lakes and rivers and may even be used in some very calm coastal areas.  Intex Challenger K2Best tried and tested inflatable kayak – Affordable – Has cargo net to hold gear – Nicer color than Explorer – Not as rigid as the Excursion Pro – Low bow makes it susceptible to splashing – Size: Inflated size: 11 feet 6 inches X 2 feet 6 inches X 1 foot 3 inches – Weight: 36.4 pounds – Capacity: 2 person The Intex Challenger K2 is the company’s mid-range inflatable kayak and the one that I have owned and enjoyed for years. Like the other models, the Challenger K2 features a fully-inflatable construction, detachable skeg that slides into place, and inflatable seats that are actually very comfortable. Despite the similar cost, the Challenger K2 has one benefit over the Explorer that is noteworthy: the cargo net is actually surprisingly useful as I always find myself stowing gear like life jackets, waterproof cameras, etc. underneath it. Buy it now on Amazon Buy it now on Target  Intex Excursion Pro K2Best inflatable boat for rowing – Higher pressure air tubes to increase rigidity – Integrated foot rests and rod holders – Comes with two different skegs for shallow and deep water – Only comes in one colour – No dedicated storage solution for gear – Size: Inflated size: 12 feet 7 inches x 3 feet 1 inch x 1 foot 6 inches – Weight: 19.77 kilograms – Material: plastic The Excursion Pro is Intex’s premium inflatable kayak, although it is still very affordable. This model features a more rugged construction and numerous creature comforts like foot rests and integrated rod holders. More pronounced coverings also create small storage cubbies at either end of the kayak, although it would be nice to see a dedicated storage bag on future models.  Classic Accessories Colorado Pontoon BoatBest inflatable boat for fishing – Rugged steel frame construction – Abrasion-resistant bottom – Elevated seat allows for better visibility and functionality – Pontoon design makes boat more stable – Lots of integrated storage – Fairly expensive for what is essentially an inflatable fishing raft – Cannot accept an outboard motor – Steel frame could rust over time if used in salt water – Size: Assembled size: 108 inches L x 56 inches W x 28 inches H – Weight: 77 pounds – Material: PVC bottom, tough nylon top, powder-coated steel tube frame, bronze oar locks, cold and heat-resistant bladders and rugged 7-foot two-piece aluminum oars – Capacity: one person The final inflatable boat on our list is the Colorado, offered by Classic Accessories, which has been designed primarily as an epic river fishing platform for a single user. With an abrasion-resistant bottom, this river raft was made for navigating the craggy shallows that trout and other freshwater fish tend to inhabit. With a rugged steel frame and a wealth of storage, including rod holders, this pontoon boat is the mountain angler’s ultimate tool. This raft can also be fitted with a trolling motor.  What makes an inflatable boat a tender?In the context of inflatable boats, a tender is a small inflatable boat designed to be an auxiliary vessel to a larger boat or yacht. There are many types of tenders, including those with rigid bottoms as well as wholly inflatable and storable models. Tenders may be very expensive or very cheap depending on the design. Typically, the most expensive tenders are constructed with painted aluminum bottoms and double floors, where the walking surface is covered with some type of faux teak vinyl or foam decking. On these more expensive tenders, the tubes are typically constructed of heat-welded (rather than glued) hypalon, which is far more durable to UV than PVC. Therefore, fully-fledged tenders are typically the preserve of wealthy liveaboard cruisers who spend most of their time in tropical regions where their tender is in use nearly all of the time and is therefore constantly exposed to UV radiation.  For casual part-time and/or temperate cruisers, more affordable but equally suitable, tender options exist. For less demanding applications where stowage ability and modularity takes precedence, fully-inflatable boats with an aluminum floor are often preferred, though a model with a rigid air floor may also be used. In terms of rigidity while underway, expect boats with an aluminum hull and double floor to be the most rigid, while air-floor models are typically the least rigid and therefore the worst option for handling coastal chop and outboards above 10hp. RIBs with fiberglass hulls and floors also exist, but these are typically heavier, not as rigid, and also prone to degradation from constant immersion in water (blisters) and UV radiation (chalking). While fiberglass is a wonderful material for larger vessels, I do not recommend it for RIBs as aluminum tends to be a much more performant and long-lasting choice.

 Best portable sailing dinghies for under £5k
We put six portable sailing dinghies under £5,000 to the test to see which one is the best all-rounder and really deserves a place on your boat  Six inflatable sailing dinghies were tested by the team Lightweight fabrics and drop-stitch construction enabling rigid high pressure structures are a far cry from the ubiquitous inflatable rubber tender. For all it’s pack-down convenience, these old-school bulbous craft were never easy to row, and mostly can’t be sailed. This led to a heavy reliance on outboards, and with it, the loss a peaceful means of exploring new harbours. With a sail and reasonable rowing abilities, however, you can get around without a noisy engine, occupy family for hours on end, and sail up creeks that a yacht could never explore.  We tested the boats which could double up as portable tenders and capable sailing dinghies We wanted to try out portable sailing dinghies that offered the best of both worlds – genuinely portable tenders that also double up as capable sailing dinghies. The Seal, a new product, most closely resembles the once popular Tinker Tramp. The two Dinghy Go dinghies are the closest to conventional tenders, but with rigid inflatable floors, centreboard casings and stayless rigs. The Seahopper will delight traditionalists and fans of hard tenders, while folding completely flat. The two wildcards were the MiniCat Guppy and the Tiwal 2, both of which offer plenty of fun afloat and could double as tenders if needed. How we tested the portable sailing dinghiesWe judged the six dinghies against a few key factors. First we measured the size of the bags in which the dinghies and all their kit were stowed, and weighed each bag. This gave us a fair idea of how realistically portable each tender is and how much space it might take up on board. We then assembled each boat and timed how long it took from packed to ready.  The dinghies were weighed to discover how portable they really were Whilst assembly will always get quicker with practice, some manufacturers sent representatives for the test, easing our learning process. Once on the water, both Toby Heppell and Theo Stocker took the sailing dinghies out for a spin, sailing the boats upwind and downwind. They also rowed and motored those that were equipped to do so (the MiniCat and the Tiwal were not equipped with rowlocks or an outboard bracket). We measured rough speed via GPS to give us an idea of what speeds could be achieved in the sailing dinghies. The weather during our test was a little variable with winds between 7-13 knots and minimal wave state.

Ukraine Pushing Westward In Kursk To Create A “Buffer Zone”By Howard Altman Posted on Aug 19, 2024 7:37 PM EDT 10 minute read  Twitter screenca p As part of a plan to create a “buffer zone” along its borders, Ukraine is pushing westward in Kursk Oblast. On the 14th day of the invasion , Russian media and milbloggers say Ukraine destroyed the last of three bridges over the Seim River in that part of the battlefield. That is isolating Moscow’s forces there who now have to rely on pontoon bridges for resupply, which are also being struck nearly as soon as they are put in place. Ukraine’s top general on Monday offered scant details about the invasion. “We are achieving new results in Kursk,” Col.-Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Telegram , providing no specifics or proof. “We have replenished the exchange fund,” a reference to Russian prisoners of war that can be swapped for Ukrainian troops held by Russia. Ukraine hit & severely damaged another bridge in Zvannoe, Kursk region with airstrike. pic.twitter.com/Ag4DAoE5Aj — Clash Report (@clashreport) August 18, 2024 In his first public statement on the goals of the operation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine is trying to establish a buffer zone inside Russia. “It is now our primary task in defensive operations overall: to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counteroffensive actions,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening speech Sunday . “This includes creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory – our operation in the Kursk region. Everything that inflicts losses on the Russian army, Russian state, their military-industrial complex, and their economy helps prevent the war from expanding and brings us closer to a just end to this aggression – a just peace for Ukraine.” “Buffer zone” is a phrase used by Russian President Vladimir Putin to describe the goal of his now-sputtering Kharkiv offensive. The Ukrainian Marines, meanwhile, said that they captured another village on the invasion’s western salient. “Marines of Ukraine, together with other units of the Defense Forces, are at the forefront of combat missions in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation,” the Ukrainian Navy said on Telegram Monday . “Soldiers of the 501st separate battalion of marines drop a tricolor rag in one of the settlements.” That was an apparent reference to the village of Apanasovka, where video emerged of a Ukrainian marine taking down the Russian tricolor flag. The village would be part of any westward push toward the border town of Tetkino. The War Zone could not independently confirm that claim. The Kremlin-connected Rybar Telegram channel on Monday suggested that the toughest fighting for Russia is taking place near the village of Glushkovo, on the battlefield’s western-most axis. That’s where the Ukrainian Air Force on Friday bombed the first of the three bridge s over the Seim River, which snakes around that part of Kursk to the Ukrainian border. “The most difficult situation is developing in the Glushkovsky district,” Rybar said Monday . “In the morning, Ukrainian aviation destroyed the last bridge in the district across the Seim River in the village of Karyzh. Thus, the evacuation of the population and the supply of the Russian troop group now entirely depends on the number of boats and the deployment of a sufficient number of pontoons. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are creating conditions for preparing a bridgehead before an offensive in this area.” According to russian media, Ukrainian forces have isolated 700 square kilometers of territory in the Kursk region by destroying three bridges. pic.twitter.com/UTWLjCIAVD — WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated) August 19, 2024 Former Zelensky spokesperson Iulia Mandel confirmed the destruction of the bridge. The Ukrainian army destroyed the third and last bridge over the Seim River in #Kurskregion pic.twitter.com/JdHXAzaOye — Iuliia Mendel (@IuliiaMendel) August 19, 2024 The Ukrainian Air Force, however, has yet to comment. It did confirm it destroyed a second bridge on Sunday, two days after it said it struck the first of the bridges. Commander of Ukrainian Air Force Mykola Oleshchuk shared footage of the destruction of another bridge over river Seim in the Kursk region. This has a significant impact on enemy logistics in the bridgehead. pic.twitter.com/LPJjUfgEuN — WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated) August 18, 2024 There has been visual confirmation that Russia has been building pontoon crossings. A high-resolution @planet satellite image taken on Aug. 17th shows the pontoon bridge across the Seym River, constructed by the Russians between Aug. 15 and Aug. 16, east of Glushkovo village in Kursk Oblast (51.35109, 34.67668), after Ukraine began targeting bridges in the area. https://t.co/4q7U5Cy6du pic.twitter.com/k6OxC5JKoM — Mark Krutov (@kromark) August 19, 2024 In addition, there are claims that Ukraine struck at least one of those make-shift crossings. Visualized data provided by NASA’s Fire Information For Resource Management Systems (FIRMS) shows what appears to be a fire just to the east of that location.  Satellite imagery shows that pontoon bridge is no longer there. Russian forces in Kursk attempted to build a new pontoon bridge over the Seym River to reconnect their troops isolated on the southern bank. Ukrainian forces proceeded to strike the area, cutting the new pontoon bridge and setting the crossing ablaze. pic.twitter.com/MaDnRdrh5D — OSINTtechnical (@Osinttechnical) August 19, 2024 These bridges are in range of a wide array of Ukrainian aerial and ground-based guided weapons. Ukraine’s Air Force can strike them with JDAM-ER or Hammer standoff guided bombs among other munitions while GMLRS guided rocket s fired by a HIMARS or M270 system can strike them from the ground. Ukrainian forces, on the other hand, don’t need bridges to attack because they are advancing south of the river. In addition to pushing toward the western part of Kursk salient, Ukraine is also making a move east, according to the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategy (CDS) think tank. “The sides are deploying reserves to the Belitsa and Giri areas of Kursk Oblast, where combat clashes are expected to occur in the next day or two,” CDS said in its latest emailed assessment. They are also pushing north as well, according to the latest Institute for the Study of War control map.

Kursk Oblast pic.twitter.com/aZiLKlD632 — TOGA △ (@TOGAjano21) August 19, 2024 The Russian Defense Ministry (MoD) continues to maintain that it is foiling the invasion. “Units of the Sever Group of Forces supported by Army Aviation and artillery fire conduct reconnaissance and search operations to locate and eliminate small enemy sabotage groups in forest belts attempting to get deeper into the Russian territory to the south of Skrylevka and Sheptukhovka,” the MoD stated. “Attacks launched by assault detachments in the direction of Olgovka, Russkoye Porechnoye, and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye were repelled. Aviation, artillery and ground forces “inflicted losses on manpower and hardware clusters of the AFU 22nd, 61st, 115th Mechanized Brigades, and 80th Air Assault Brigade near Borki, Bogdanovka, Vishnyovka, Viktorovka, Kositsa, Lyubimovka, Melovoy, Snagost, west of Martynovka, and southeast of Korenevo,” the MoD claimed…”The operation to neutralize the AFU units is in progress.” The video below shows a Russian Ka-52 Alligator assault helicopter firing rockets at Ukrainian troops in Kursk. ⚡️Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter in action with a pitch-up maneuver in Kursk region of Russia. pic.twitter.com/naUAyH1U0i — War Intel (@warintel4u) August 19, 2024 The MoD also said it hit several targets in Ukraine’s Sumy Oblast, which is a staging area for the invasion. However, its claim that they destroyed a donated M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) reportedly appears to be a bunch of hot air, literally. Instead of striking the MLRS, Russia reportedly hit an inflatable decoy made by the Czech Inflatech company.

Russia has also deployed a special motorized rifle regiment of the Aerospace Forces to counter according to Russian media. Additionally, reports have emerged of Russian teenage conscripts being pulled from across that nation into the defense of Kursk. 1/ Russia is reportedly creating 'Kursk battalions' of newly enlisted conscripts, many of whom are barely trained teenagers paid only $0.75 a day, are being sent to Kursk to fight the Ukrainian incursion. Some are being forced to sign contracts to fight at the front lines. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/iu3wHVpvsP — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) August 16, 2024 As the push in Kursk continues, Ukraine is on the verge of losing two key cities in Donetsk Oblast. “Heavy fighting continues in the Pokrovsky direction,” Syrskyi said today on Telegram. “Defense forces are also doing everything necessary to protect Toretsk.” That may not be enough. Russian forces “are moving toward the outskirts of Pokrovsk. We see — it is no secret,” Katerina Yanzhula, head of information policy in the Pokrovsk military administration, told The Washington Post on Monday. The city’s fate was unclear, she added. “Maybe the situation there will somehow change — we hope that the enemy will stop somewhere on the approaches to Pokrovsk, that our troops will repel them.” The plan to strike Kursk was a tension-filled, closely held effort, according to The Economist . “Several scenarios were considered for an offensive push at the weakest points in the Russian line: a strike in Bryansk region in the north; a strike in Kursk region; a combination of the two; or more,” the publication reported. “The main objective was to draw troops away from the Donbas stranglehold, and to create bargaining chips for any future negotiation. General Syrsky kept his plans under wraps, sharing them only with a tight group of generals and security officials. He spoke to the president on a one-on-one basis, without his staff. The army’s intelligence did much of the reconnaissance, rather than leaving it to GUR, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, which was included only at a late stage.” "Amid the turmoil, the commander began his planning…Several scenarios were considered for an offensive push at the weakest points in the Russian line: a strike in Bryansk region in the north; a strike in Kursk region; a combination of the two; or more.

He emphasized that Denmark sees Ukraine’s military operations inside Russia as a part of Ukraine’s defense strategy, according to the Kyiv Independent . “Self-defense can involve entering the aggressor’s territory. If, as part of this, you target the infrastructure or military facilities of the attacking party, then this is fully in line with the rules of war,” he said.

If they can use long-range weapon systems to hold accountable Russia’s valid military targets that are attacking Ukraine, we can change the dynamics on the ground. You can’t continue to just have a front line in Ukraine where Russia is out-producing weapon systems from what Ukraine has, and have this this turn out well for Ukraine.” 🙏 U.S. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R) calls on White House to lift restrictions on Ukraine so they can use long-range weapons systems to strike inside ruZZia during this critical moment of the Kursk offensive. pic.twitter.com/Qs1zip45JD — Claretta Nijhuis (@NijhuisClaretta) August 18, 2024 In addition to the Kursk invasion, Ukraine continues to attack energy infrastructure inside Russia. A fire at Russia’s Proletarsk state fuel reserve facility in the Rostov region is still burning three days after a reported Ukrainian drone strike. The facility is located more than 250 miles from the front lines. “The fire in Proletarsk is still being extinguished, and the [number of] personnel and appliances involved has been increased,” Rostov Gov. Vasily Golubev said on Telegram Monday . “Given the complexity of the fire in the Proletarsky district, the high-alert mode has been upgraded to an emergency situation.

Ukraine’s move into Russia has likely rattled the Lukashenko. Russia launched part of its invasion from Belarus and has fired standoff weapons from there.

Public transportationPublic transportation is cheap but can be crowded. Be prepared to stand up most of the time, and you may have to make waves when you want to get out. There are four main types: the trolleybus, bus, tram and minibuses ( marshrutki ) . Trams and buses will get you just about anywhere in the city for a fixed price for as long as you want to be on the tram or bus. Tickets are to be bought from the conductor, which is on board of every tram and bus. At the central market there is one of the many depots. These forms of transport stop at every stop on the route. Semi-public transportation (minibuses)The minibuses (singular marshrutka , plural marshrutki ) operated by non-municipal companies can be found throughout the city. They are like the buses, but faster, smaller, and they stop on request. If you are on board you must yell to the driver that you want out at the next stop, and if you are waiting for one, you must flag it down. Depending on the driver, these can get very crowded. Most tourists find the taxi to be their best option. Taxi cabs are on every corner and they are relatively cheap. There are numerous dispatch taxi services. For example, 381-0000 or 0-67. Keep your eyes open for more numbers, usually printed on the side of the cab in large font. Also, on the first ride in the taxi, ask the driver if he would like to drive you around on a regular basis. Usually, they will be delighted to do so and give you their ID number for dispatch ( pozivnoi ) or their cell phone so you can call him directly. That way, you can have a chauffeur for the time of your stay. Navigation menu |
