I'm not getting ahead of myself.
In terms of the factors that will shape the world to come, what happens after the shooting stops in this war is critical. Particularly what happens in the place with the vast stockpile of nukes and a paranoid dictator!
Nothing is confirmed yet i guess
This is interesting
Guess they have to take the civilians into consideration as well,so to wear down the russians untill surrender is probably a better choice,by cutting supplies and reinforcements.
Things just keep going downhill
Kherson will come once the north is back in UKR hands, its amazing how they managed to make the RU believe this was all about Kherson forcing them to move troops to defend it whilst at he same time the real intention was to win the north (first). The south will come in time after the RU have been battered and bruised and defeated in the north, I wonder what fight will be left in RU by the time UKR really starts the Kherson offensive.
I dont think this will be over this year but I cannot see the RU keeping this up throughout 2023 unless western support collapses during the winter for UKR.
Russia have moved some of their "best" units into the Kherson area and an obvious trap. The Ukrainian plan appears to have always been to trap them there and get to "work" on them. I think what's happened in the North has been an opportunistic campaign once they realised the Orcs were threadbare up there. If Putin did dictate this move then it will heighten the tension between him and his military.
I love a good putsch in the morning...
cool animation of the blitzkrieg
Russia is fast running out of options. Only logical way out is for them to topple Putin and then blame him for poor decision making. While they try to re-build their economy, image and standing. No doubt some other evil ass-hat will take over, so I doubt things will be much better long term. But this is really their only avenue out of this mess now.
True to a certain extent, but it seems to have been a quite disastrous few days for the Russians.....easily their worst since they retreated from Kyiv.
Russia's worse performance since Afghanistan and that was bad
russian bmp doing a river crossing somewhere in Ukraine.
Someone was asking about tanks and water recently,
Russians jump off their tank/get shot. The Ukr. soldier firing at it is flagged-
Absolutely no panick here
This is what victory looks like
Must be a combined arms excersise joining battlecruiser Moskva
That definitely seems to indicate chaos alright. Tank appears to be doing about 50mph and I think those three guys fell off simply because it was fleeing so fast.
Russian general staff being questioned about russian casualties
Basically no comment
I'd hope the EU,would be in a position to lift these quickly.....if Russia army suffers much more of a collapse,their is possibly of a civil war,and the internal bloodletting would be horrific......with families of deserters likely at huge risk
Is there any actual fighting on the Kharkiv front, or is Ukraine just taking back towns Russia has abandoned?
Apologies if it's a silly question, I haven't been following the situation very closely.
It’s for tourists not those seeking refugee
I asked Manic about their speed underwater, what I did not ask was the more pertinent question. Given Russian losses to date, are they manning amphibious vehicles with hastily trained crews who don't know how to close vents?
Tough ****.
Look what they did to the Ukrainans,
Let them rot
I believe all their bmps can swim across rivers and lakes fjording might be the term for it ,
It was fine until the bow dipped and the water flooded into the main hatch,it's not uncommon to happen to certain military vehicles
Quite the reward for capturing city of Balakliya
comes in handy
Ah lad....their still people,if they seeking refuge they should be still allowed in
(Turns out,they will be,as this applies to tourist visas)
Hope tree is ok 🙏
They deserve no sympathy,they are cheering the Genocide of Ukraine, they giggle at the idea of Ukrainans getting slaughtered .
And yet people are asking for sympathy for the russians.
Never mind the 500,000 Ukrainian children who were abducted and currently up for adoption in Russia.
Or the other 2million Ukrainians forcibly deported to Russia .
They can all burn
I would have no idea what I am looking at there, but surely even aside from the actual usefulness of the supplies, there must be useful information in looking at the serial numbers and stock records captured with them to learn more about the state of Russia logistics.
If you look close you can see a Ukr. soldier firing at it (ukr flag). I missed it on first viewing.
