Seems like he was in a combat zone. Good riddance.
Indeed, good riddance, but if I'll say one thing ever so slightly in his favour: unlike most public warmongers, like those clowns on Russian TV every night, he actually went and did what he was urging others to do.
HIMARS doesn't care. Dead is dead.
And, I really do wonder about a Christian religious group being such warmongers. Seems kind of contradictory.
Stalin's maxim also assumed that the quantity did have at least some modicum of quality going for it. It's doubtful that he had top-to-bottom corruption in mind.
For scale, that's Dublin city centre to Enniscorthy.
Comparing GDP to military might means alot in terms of training,logistics and maintenance of the military.
You really think North Korea is on par with countries like South Korea,Japan?
And you think Ukraine was on par with Russia before the invasion?
Waging war costs money,and having a well trained military and logistics to back it up costs even more.
Not many nation in the world can move trained troops and equipment around the globe within 48 hours like NATO countries can.
Because they can afford it.
The crews must be delighted! A long voyage to Vladivostok is better than a very real prospect of a death in the Black sea from an Ukrainian anti-ship missile.
Ukraine nationalizes the shares of Ukrnafta, Ukrtatnafta, Motor Sich, AvtoKrAZ and Zaporizhtransformator, - The decision was made on November 6, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission reported
Just so long as they don't shoot up any innocent fishing fleets in the area. The Russian navy has a bit of a history with that when it comes to transferring fleets to the far east.
I do wonder though. When the whole gong show that would ultimately lead to the battle of Tsushima played out in 1905, the different Russian fleets (Baltic, Black Sea, Pacific) had wildly different levels of skill, with most of the best ships and commanders assigned to the Pacific Squadron. The Baltic and Black Sea fleets were considered of secondary importance, which is why the 2nd Pacific Squadron was such a ramshackle collection of ships, with equally ramshackle crews. And that's without mentioning Kamchatka. I'd be really curious if similar discrepancies between the different fleets exist in the present day and if the oceangoing fleets (Northern Fleet, Pacific Fleet) are better trained and supplied than the "littoral" fleets in the Baltic, Black Sea and Caspian Sea.
Or alternatively, it's 1 hour in HIMARS terms.

It's now apparent the Battle of Pavlivka was devastating for the Russians, who sustained irrecoverable losses in personnel and equipment.
This clip shows a Ukrainian 152mm shell striking a bunched up group from the 155th Marine Infantry Brigade (RU).
Regarding the the above and other similar posts how does the OP get the specific information on the type of soldiers killed and their battalions etc i.e. in this instance the ‘155th Marine Infantry Brigade’….?
Or his Boss, Patriarch Kirill, who when blessing soldiers being dispatched to Ukraine, told them that they were doing God's work, and if they died, would go straight to heaven. Strange Priest who advocates one human killing another, as Kirrill is doing, and claiming it is Gods will. But at least Mikhail Vasiliev, the priest who advised Women to have more children to replace the ones killed, went with them to the front and died with them. Pity Kirill would not follow his example.
Ukrainian military captured 21 mobilised men from Moscow region on Svatove direction
They are the lucky ones.
Look up the 'winter war' Finland v the USSR. A lot of what is going on is similar to that conflict.
More on the Mobiks getting absolutely destroyed.
Untrained conscripts vs battle hardened and determined UAF. Was only going to end one way.
Russian morale is very low and Ukrainians morale is very high, high as a kite in fact
The most shocking thing is that it's still just isolated voices criticising the approach in Russia. The vast majority still don't seem to care if hundreds of young Russian men are dying in a pointless war every week, as long as they aren't from the glamorous cities
Holding out for a used javelin,
Already have an AT4
Ukraine's president Zelensky has called Israeli elected PM Netanyahu to congratulated him for his victory -during Iron Dome discussion
It seems there are 3 separate groups reported as all but completely wiped out in the last 4 to 5 days. A group from the 155th naval guards 300 lost near Pavilka, a battalion of conscripts near Makiilavka 530 lost, and a wagner group.
But Francie says its bollox so it can't be true.
If Russia had this missile theyd be calling it the "Ultimate Deadly Hypersonic Super Missile"
Who was saying the idea of russia losing 60k was a fairy tale ,but Ukraine had to be suffering higher losses
I believe that was Timmy. However his own point defeated his argument. He claimed there is no way it was possible and yet Russia with its enormous imaginary army needed to conscript 300k 2 months ago. Why the need to conscript if they had not lost 60k plus injured?
Some have claimed here that Russia has an enormous advantage in Artillery, I think we are seeing the results recently of large volume WW2 type artillery doing nothing but ploughing empty fields versus precision American, French and German artillery landing shells 5 to 10 meters from target at ranges of 25 kilometers and more.
I think there are masochists on this thread supporting Russia, they just love being humiliated. Best explanation I’ve come up with so far.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy: In general,
along the front, our forces are in a state of active defense - in some parts of the east and south we are gradually pushing back the enemy.
Donetsk region remains the epicenter of the occupiers' greatest madness – they die by hundreds every day. The land in front of the Ukrainian positions is literally littered with the bodies of the occupiers...
Orcs miss WW2 so much, they decided to re-enact the same tactics and rates of attrition.
The 155th are reading the social media in Russia and are concerned that they're losing the social media war. So the three remaining of the 155th have called for Russians watching their broadcast to not believe the reports in Russian social media and to keep fighting the online war and don't be demoralised at home.
On paper but when reaching production is toilet roll holders and some egg cartons due to errrr not corruption.
lol minimizing the losses as they have no men to loose.
Interesting to see in this evenings address to the nation Zelenskyi responded to the calls for negotiations with russia with a simple list of conditions that should be met and they sound fair to me:
