The key to a win is the ability to take out orc artillery units, I think. These are a good start, but a couple thousand are needed, not just a few hundred.
Ok, get what you're saying , and you're right about a murky japanese recent past and the current glorification of that past by some in the Japanese government ..
But this woman was an individual reacting to a video she'd just seen of stuff happening NOW...
( And I hadn't checked your posting history either , I tend not to in general )
I really hope this is just a fire which Russia will accept and nothing more. I really cant imagine how awful things could get if Russia start making a case for more aggression based on the fact they are being "attacked". I aint a conspirecy theorist AT ALL, but they are definitely capable of false flags.
Too many people on the planet, evil should be eliminated.
Starting to bite
For the 56th time?
One could argue that Russia have redefined the word "taken". Despite repeated prophecies of their imminent demise, the 2,000 Ukrainian troops still hold the Azovstal plant.
What cities have they actually "taken"? Kherson? Anything else?
With the vast Azovstal steel works now allegedly blockaded, what will the fighters inside eventually do apart from either die from thirst/hunger or surrender before this occurs?
Surely at some point these losses are unsustainable. Could it be that the Russians will fight themselves to a standstill? The cannon fodder strategy could be their downfall.
What will likely happen is that the more competent and disciplined Russian troops in the area will be redeployed elsewhere and the ill-disciplined rabble that will be left to hold the blockade will descend in to drunken mayhem, resulting in those left within the plant inflicting further damage in the Russians.
Not Kharkiv anyway, it's still under Ukrainian control - lots of Russian attacks in the general area and it's under siege somewhat but it never actually fell to the invaders.
17 seconds into this is the photographer carrying a gun?
Denazify Mariupol. Renazify its classrooms.
Another $800m of military support for Ukraine from the US.
To get food / arms / ammunition in to the plant Drop Circa 40 parachutes - 30 of them being dummies. They could all be of a similar weight - using stones in the dummies. Drop them all at the same time and dead at night and when there is good cloud cover.
the Russians bould be bleary eyed after a hard night and would not know which parachute to fire at - there being so many of them.
The ORGANiSER would need to come up with a way of protecting the ammunition from going off because of ground impact.
A one off drop could keep them going for another few days .
Yes, there must be some way of getting food and medical supplies into the plant from the air, especially given how big the place is. Hopefully they are working on some ingenious plan as we speak.
He would look even MORE FEARSE if he had his top off!
Ukraine had/will receive 155mm artillery with over 100k shells (I think Biden said 150k) That gives them a couple of more miles range compared to the current and existing Russian 152mm.
Here's hoping they can pummel the Russian artillery from a safe distance while manpads and starstreak defend them from counter air assaults.
The Americans seem to have decided that this is a war they can't let Ukraine lose so are finally putting some serious hardware together for them. I assume the British are of the same opinion and when the dust settles on this they will be the two countries that do best out of the rebuild process. Ukraine won't forget who their friends were. I wouldn't like to be a German builder looking to get a contract in Ukraine in 2024.
They were getting it in by helicopter but that stopped, presumably. Might be possible to drone some stuff in but you'd need a lot of drones.
There has been a cliche of boards posters who have spent years defending this regime. Their support seems to have dried up, almost as if reality eventually catches up with nonsense.
You're bang on the money, now is the time to organise a third party fleet of drones, unafiliated with any nation, for use in relieving sieged areas.
A task for Elon Musk perhaps ?
Radio controlled boats too ?
Reportedly - The 121 phoenix ghost drones being sent are apparently similar to switchblades (the kamikaze drones), and may have been developed and produced very recently
None of the above is confirmed, but good news if true
If that was to happen, the Russians wouldn't need to stop the drones carrying food. They would just join in with their own drones delivering poisoned food
Few thousand small commercial drones fly in with a plastic bottles of water and some ration pack or however much they can each carry. Any drones that make it back to fly in again is a bonus.
Very easy to circumvent that with some identifier included with each drop. If the correct identifier isn't in the package you don't eat the food.
Lets be real, the only country that has been serious about security in continental Europe for the last 70 years has been America, they continue fund everything, this is why you see countries like Germany with a handful of moldy arms to offer, they haven't spent a penny, they rely on America for protection, Russia for Energy and China for cheap trade. They publicly endorse green energy, choosing gas over nuclear because it is cheaper(but produces more greenhouse gasses), forcing the EU to buy meat from the dying amazon region so they can export transportation to south america, replacing the less carbon intensive, higher quality european meat production. Calling them hypocritical would be too nice, they are consciously selfish and self interested with zero thought for their impact on the greater good. They are not good European citizens.
I wish I could find it now, Emily Haber, the German Ambassador to the US was interviewed by DW just before the war began and Zelensky made a speech at the EU. She was the most condescending person I've ever heard in my life. He got a huge ovation and her response was basically "Well I think people gave him this reception because they sympathize with his situation, he is clearly inexperienced in some of his demands but you really have to commend him for being brave", I actually felt sick listening to her qualify the praise from other nations(for whom she does not speak) because she clearly didn't like it.
Also very easy to retrieve said identifier from any drone you do shoot down and put it into your poisoned drop
Poisoned food or, failing that, those hideously out-of-date MREs the Russians are reported to have.
