Launcher looks concealed in a non descript civilian truck
Given the Russians have a habit of apparently not caring and leaving their dead in quite large numbers behind, that's a valid point. Or because they held that side of the river they did actually take care of the wounded and the dead. Most of the tanks in the photos have competed in the Russian turret tossing olympics so those crews are toast. So three apiece there. The armoured personel carriers look fairly smashed too so anybody in them when hit would likely be dead too. 1500 sounds like a way off figure. A 100 less so, with a higher number of injured troops of course. Either way it was a total rout of the Russian invaders by the defending forces.
How novel. Deep thinker, you.
Looking at that it seems odd. A few civvies, smartphones everywhere and a lassie in a pink hoody pyjamas type deal. Very relaxed anyway. 😁

Here's an explanation Ukraine is decapitating Russian tanks due to a 'jack-in-the-box' design flaw, reports say (yahoo.com)
The story is what? That 1500 troops died and then the corpses disappeared? Or did another battlegroup come in to take away the dead? And why weren’t the addition battlegroup targeted? Very nice victory for Ukraine but some of the fantasists in this thread are credulous to the point of hilarity
Allegedly the Ukrainians yeeting about a half mill worth of British missiles at Russian targets.
The tank was not destroyed, it was promoted to air assault vehicle.
I heard that while N. Korea has nukes they still have not made them small enough to put on a missile.
Its a common failure with all russia tanks with autoloader and ammo carousel,and two part ammo.
Once its penetrated its good bye
Loom at the treaty of Versailles. The german military was destroyed. down to 100k men. And see what happened? The country took it as a point of humiliation.
See what happened after communism fell? Russia was falling apart. People felt like outside forces were destroying the country
That's the usual bs trotted out. Wtf would Germany have done with an army more than 100k in peacetime?
Russia destroyed their own country with the last straw being the invasion of Afghanistan. Again the only ones to blame and the Russians. Anything else is bs.
Like it or not. Russia is going down the drain exactly as it did when the Soviet Union fell apart post Afghanistan.
For the that not to happen, is going to take ordinary Russians being proactive. Russians have a long tradition of getting rid of those that fcuk them over. Putin days are marked but even more do if he tries to turn the army on his own people.
Nice, succinct analysis. Russia isn't 'de-nuking' under any scenario short of armageddon.
Judging by that river crossing massacre did it come under precision artillery attack? All that destruction can't have been by drones.
Were there Russian soldiers abandoning tanks etc. at the end of that video? Being in a Russian tank would be like sitting under one of those cartoon ACME targets. Grim.
I believe the problem with these exploding tanks is that it is the munitions on board the tank itself that keep blowing up when struck - either the tanks were badly designed or the Ukrainians have identified a weak spot in the armour.
Ah Raoul, what you doing typing on here? You've homework to do to get the 'easy' Bulgarian (how is your Bulgarian btw?) strategic energy positions. Until you rectify (or even less likely, admit you were speaking through your hoop) your opinion has no currency here.
Drone footage of the failed river crossing and surrounding area 70 + vehicles destroyed .

There are massive differences involved. A rellie of mine dealt with Soviet soldiers in the immediate aftermath of Germany falling and he noted the average Soviet troops he dealt with were almost all dirt poor farmboys from the provinces, illiterate to a man, even fascinated by things like electric light and indoor plumbing*(their officer class was far better educated). From another planet. That planet is long dead. Sure you still have the low IQ morons and people from the far flung provinces, but the majority are far more exposed to the world today. You could fling near cavemen at German forces in wave after wave back then, egged on by their "betters" at the point of a gun. They knew little better. IMHO today that will only work for so long and for a lot shorter time than back then. putin might not blink an eye at 100,000 dead Russian soldiers, but the country would, especially if they were made up of their blue eyed sons from the west, rather than Asiatics from the east.
The Chinese would be different too. Back then they didn't have the one child policy so big whoop if you lost a son, you had spares, now they don't.
*one story he told me; they were infamous for looting, and were big into stealing watches from dead Germans, but they would often throw them away as "broken" because they didn't know you had to wind them up and many of them couldn't tell the time anyway.
The fighting in and around azovstal in Mariupol is getting up close and personal
Good job,those pontoon bridges wiped out means they cant surround the ukrainian army anymore,and they can limp back to Russia instead
So everyone who disagrees with you is automatically a 'Russophile'?
Interestingly enough, that's the sort of nonsense you hear on Russian tv these days. Just with the word 'Nazi' instead.
It was a feint to conseal a different river crossing 🤣🤣🤣
If I had one wish from a genie it would be to remove Russia's nuclear weapons and send the rest of the world's military in to fúck them to all hell, hang their leaders from the walls of the Kremlin. I reckon two months would get it done. Tops.
What zoo in russia did they find these animals in
Why do you think Ukrainians calls them Orcs and Kremlin Modor
They are slowly starting to see trough the disinformation and propaganda they have been fed with the last 8 years
They still use the old soviet doctrine,send in everyone at once to the meatgrinder and hope to overwhelm the enemy
Love one of the descriptions in the pic [Clusterfuck AKA No great, not terrible] 😁
What is going on in Putin's mind is very much mindset psychology. If one goes back to WW2 Stalin and Communism and onward to Fascism both Russia and China are very similar. Leadership in Russia in WW2 did not give a fig for the death rate within the Russian army or civilian life. Stalin just kept sending men forwards no matter how many died. Likewise, China in a similar mode did so later in support of the Korean and Vietnam wars. No matter how many died they would send more. Putin would not blink an eye if Russia lost 100,000 in the Ukraine invasion over 12 months. He would send 100,000 more. Against that mindset what can be done? What is best for Russia now is for all political prisoners [there are plenty in jail] to be released and for a proper democratic election to take place. Breaking up Russia or dividing it up like what happened to Germany after WW2 might be a foreseeable prospect. The problem is... what to do with all those missiles! If Putin is not removed from Russia along with his band of Orcs, he will keep sending in the cannon fodder. One possible situation to develop would be for commando runs on Gas and Oil facilities in Russia on a big scale to put an end to Russia's ability to sell gas and oil.
