I suspect based on the condition of their equipment that they need the cellular networks for comms.
I am actually shocked at how back some of their "frontline" kit looks. If this is replicated through out their military is not beyond comprehension that they are using mobile phones to keep in touch between units.
They should be on a one way ticket to Moscow or minisk. They like it so much, off you go. Ireland way too tolerant of these types
I love some of the replies: That tank remembers Afghanistan. Another guy: It remembers Napoleon. 😂
Stupid question but what constitutes a take over of Ukraine? Getting rid of the government? So the Ukraine army takes Russian orders? What if the army and people don't take their orders? I suppose they kill until they do listen to them.
You see images of vehicles across the road and army guys standing there. What exactly are they doing?
Then I saw an image of a Russian soldier being scolded by residents. He was sitting there crying on his own. Seems he must have just given up?
Jesus, Sky is live broadcasting hundreds of Ukrainian men and women in the streets assembling petrol bombs and organising resistance. In a Russian-speaking area too. Fair f***s to them all.
This is so significant, and has the potential for miscalculation with a NATO country too.
sky News is hacked
I wasn't really buying into the whole russian bots on boards thing and put a lot of the posters spouting the pro russian propagana as just left wing nutjob useful idiots. The types you see hanging about Shannon airport. And im still sure nearly all of them are.
But maybe, is it possible that some bots are at play here now taking down the whole Russian thread?
Stop the lights my friend. Not such thing. Shamrocks good.
Guardian confirming Turkey will stop Russian warships from entering the Black Sea.
I understand the Palestinian Flags not the USSR flags
Probably a well developed right hand.
Speaking of social media, I find it more than a little surprising that Russia still hasn't moved to take out cell phone infrastructure in Ukraine. As it stands, it looks like any Russian movement ends up on Twitter or similar platforms as soon as it happens and apparently, the Ukrainian military has set up a chatbot that people can message with their photos and videos. This type of battlefield surveillance is a treasure trove for any force that can use it and you'd think Russia would do something about the fact that its solders can't take a wee without Ukraine being able to identify the brand of vodka that was drunk to cause it...
I have no idea what has happened here. Trying to restore what I can
Don't know about the new system but on the old version when I modded here it would have been a soft delete so it should be very easy for an admin to restore it with one click. I feel sorry for the poor bot all their work clicking through 250+ pages of posts deleting one post at a time will be wasted. Its pathetic like the Russian Armed forces.
Okay I went and looked for the USSR flags in the bog side and sweet Jesus what is wrong with some people.
agreed, all overt the place, lets hope Ukraine holds firm and wins this
It was probably the twitter link on how to take out a russian tank that upsets the russian nazis
Or their conscripts running out of petrol
I don't think you can take a full reading about Russia's army from this invasion. Russia does not want to obliterate Ukraine.
At the end of the day any form of warfare would have been a combined ops with airforce bombings being at the tip of the spear.
You can see that the air force is nowhere near as prominent as it would be in a much larger war.
I think they just underrated the Ukraine ground defence in terms of holding out against the Conscripts and the older pieces of Soviet equipment.
The Second wave seems to be bringing out the T-72's, mobile artillery pieces and the Thermobaric launch platforms. Which is a much more accurate reflection of Russia's capabilities.
Is Turkey closing the Straits or that false news??
Absolutely. They would get 3km into Poland and a few might run back over a graveyard.
I love the comment from the Ukrainian troops "This Russian **** is more dilapidated than our own equipment".
Putin has made you the Nazis now
Russian state of the art technology on display.

still flying ?
In a stance with our ukranian friends on snake island “Russian delete bot go fck yourself”
You'd be surprised... If there is info that they are loosing or how to help Ukraine it's worth to hack and delete.
To our Russian bot on here:
Иди на хуй!
It's actually a bit of a surprise that mods/mod accounts don't go rogue more often.
Anyway, looks like this thread might not be long for this world. I thought it was just me.
