He's right. The US are already testing naval rail-guns.
Its just a hunch, but something tells me your time here will be limited, as are your contributions.
Looks like the mass graves discovered in Izyum contain the bodies of tortured Ukrainian soldiers.
At Least we can agree more war committed against Ukrainians have been uncovered
So this is what West meddling in this conflict has brought on so far: fewer mass burial sites with tortured soldiers and civilians. Without the western help the Russians would have advanced more, killed and tortured more soldiers and civilians. Think about it next time you get the urge to blame NATO and US for anything.
Who is responsible for the 'spin' to which you refer? Not the Ukrainian government then?
East Kupyansk fully under Ukraine control according to Russian sources.
Vladimir Putin said that the plan for a special military operation in Ukraine is not subject to adjustment
"The General Staff makes operational decisions in the course of the operation, considers something to be the key, the main goal, and the main goal is the liberation of the entire territory of Donbass," the Russian President told reporters on Friday.
According to him, this work continues, despite "these counteroffensive attempts (of Ukraine)".
"Our offensive operations in the Donbas itself do not stop, they are going at a slow pace (...), the Russian army is occupying new and new territories," the president stressed.
“I draw your attention to the fact that we are not fighting with a full army. We are fighting only with part of the Russian army, a contract part,” Putin said.
He noted: "We are not in a hurry in this part, but by and large, in essence, there are no changes."
Latest from Vlad. Don't think I've ever heard him specifically spell out a war aim in this way.
They’ve rail guns for years… super sonic ones? Any source?
They have been working on rail guns for over 20 years at this stage,they were hoping they would be fitted to the Zumwalt class destroyers.
And you know what, if the West had not intervened, these would be whispers and rumours with the usual suspects on here, denying anything happened "oh the Russians would never do that" "it's all western propaganda" Yada Yada BS BS
It will turn to mud again in spring when the frozen ground begins to thaw.
Bridgehead on the eastern side of the Oskil river was established. Will be interesting to see what Ukraine does next
lol
The Story on all pages today in the media was “mass graves” in Ukraine and the goal was to put in people minds images of bodies buried in a giant pit/ditch but the reality was some what different.
There is another story on Twitter now, being pushed as fact here that those bodies where torture victims and no doubt some are I mean it’s war but that has yet to be established. Earlier today rueters put out a story that individuals had been found bound in graves and that story was retracted. These stories come from somewhere and propaganda is a loaded word but in a time of war it’s ubiquitous.
looking at the uniform colours Army arguing with Air Force probably paras.
Didn't know Russia had any Paras left lol
But wait didn't people on here say the Ukrainans have stalled and Russia was doing a fine job holding them off
Well I say para but the uniform is Aerospace so make of that what we can.
It's not just the frozen ground,,,tracked and heavy rubber tyred machines ( Tanks, APC's etc.) can move fine over frozen uneven ground provided its solid underneath. And snow chains will get you out of trouble with most other vehicles. The biggest problem with freezing temperatures is with water cooled engines, and diesel fuel ( plus of course, brakes can seize up too ) If there is any weakness in an vehicle, any kind of vehicle, then winter will find it for you. You need top class maintenance workshops to keep vehicles moving under these conditions, and this has in the past been very problematic for the Russians, so advantage 1 goes to Ukraine. And more misery for the Russians. During ww2, the winter helped defeat the Germans, because they were a long way from home and logistics support. This time it will be the Russians who are in the same boat . Slava Ukraine.
If you've seen the calibre of Russian that they have flying their planes, you'd honestly wonder at the calibre of those who have to jump out of them.
Would be safer jumping out of planes at this stage 😎
If it's not a "mass grave" as you so lovingly put in quotation marks then what is it? You're getting bent out of shape about what you call spin, but are determined to chummy up the discovery of these bodies.
Whats your game? And we'd all appreciate if you didn't slither off and actually answer the question posed to you here.
If not a mass grave, then what?
Oh look .
I hear what you're saying. How can it be a mass grave unless it has the Genuine Acme Mass Grave branding on it like a proper mass grave?
2022 brings us the Russian Dirlewanger Brigade
.
Basically saying "yeah, things aren't going great, but we're not really trying very hard so don't read anything into that."
But winter 2022 can't be compared to winter 1942. Climate has changed massively in 80 years. It's as likely to be autumnal muddy and wet as frozen solid and -10. Who that helps I don't know
Propaganda from whom though? And are you suggesting the western media is lying about the true nature of the Putin regime?
I wonder did the Chinese let out a giggle when they heard putin saying that,
He's using prisoners to increase his numbers, whats next nursing homes before moving on to schools for more conscripts
war graves so far are what are being discovered. A graveyard could be described as a mass grave and a ditch full of bodies could be described as a mass grave. There is a difference between bought though.
If you don’t understand English thats your fault
That story has been withdrawn by Reuters.
The truth is not served well on this thread. 🙄
