Ukrainian forces fighting Orcs at the Antonivsky bridge.
Unfortunately neither the French nor British listened to me back in February when I suggested they nip over to CAR and wipe out all the Wagnerians in the CAR, before they could be redeployed to Ukraine and while they were sitting ducks.
Yes, it sounds like a simple error - it meant to say 100,000 killed and injured but instead reported 100,000 had died (I've seen this mistake made quite a few times before....people mixing up the word 'casualties' with 'fatalities').
Yes, but there's a big difference between claiming that Ukraine lost 100'000 Officers dead, (they haven't) when the reality is that figure includes Troops, Civilian's, men women and children, dead, injured, captured, etc.
Happens all the time in war,unfortunately
But there is no figures thats 100% in Ukraine either,its just estimates
What we do know is that Russia have had heavy losses since the beginning of the war,so their figures can be higher as well.
We wont know before the war is over,thats for sure
And we know both sides are hiding the real numbers for a reason
We haven't an update from Darth in awhile..
Another push on a Ukrainan position ,this a petrol station that the Russians push on a near nightly basis and it ends pretty much the same way, orc's get picked up by thermal imaging on drones which is then used to direct artillery strikes against them,
Unless the orc's plan is to get the Ukrainans to use up all of their artillery shells by sending hundreds, thousands of men into positions only to be anilated.
Like smoking rats out of a hole
Literally the first thought I had when I watched it
Thomas Theiner over on Myria report reckoned to send Ukraine loads of thermal imaging drones as well as NV gear. The orc attacks will be spotted much better in Winter. They can't dig foxholes too well in frozen ground, artillery shells don't penetrate frozen ground so well as they would unfrozen soil so they tend to be more effective on infantry. If the russian's don't want to freeze they need to shelter and heat themselves, if they do that the fires/heat sources can be spotted easily. A cold Winter will be hard on Ukrainian civilians but it'll be better for Ukraine in the war imo.
interesting commentary from a reporter in donbas talking with Kim.
Whataboutery some here might say.
What if country a killed someone in country b and then someone in country b killed someone in country a.
What about it?
This we have been trough before,and if the russian didnt open fire this wouldnt have happened,so not a war crime
And Kim Iversen is a conspiracy theorist,you might wanna check your sources
Old news. Been discussed. Not a war crime as it was a set up by the Russians. Even if those who were on the ground did not know the last guy was going to open fire, it’s not a war crime. Also, hadn’t been checked to see if they were unarmed. The surrender wasn’t complete.
Definitely a war crime, by Russia. False surrender aka Perfidy is a war crime.
The video clearly shows a group of Russians surrendering followed by a Russian solider coming out shooting at the Ukrainian soldiers.
They (the Ukrainian soldiers) were well within their right to fire back.
The effective range of the weapons they're firing is half that of the distance the target is.
Really, I don't think you'd be so cavalier if you saw footage of mushroom clouds appearing over European capitals.
The ONLY reason the US, UK, NATO or EU haven't gotten directly involved militarily is because of a fear of escalating this war outside Ukrainian borders and what that may entail.
No one, including you, will want to see a cornered rat like Putin, with nowhere left to go, start lobbing nuclear weapons into western Europe, because if that happened, as unlikely as it is....we all lose, that includes you, you family, everyone you know and are you personally willing to lose everything and everyone for Ukraine...? Naa I didn't think so.
and you're guilty of spouting bol**x frankly
That graph is wrong,
5.56 round has an effective range of over 600+ m but can reach further depending on loading of the round and the bullet type and barrel length
The cz805 2 has an effective range of up to 800 meters,
The Ak74 has an effective range out to 800m depending on the variant and barrel length and bullets
Yep, the 'effective range' is the maximum distance the firearm/ammunition combination could kinda/sorta be expected to engage a human-sized target with at least some expectation of success.
Both of the rounds here are well capable of travelling well over 2 kilometres and being lobbed in the general direction of the enemy at that distance, plenty good enough to be a hazardous, and potentially lethal, nuisance.
Yes, and added to that is the human tendency to bunch together for comfort and in this case, for warmth. Bad move in Ukraine, when going solo may be your best chance of survival.
Their lethal range will be farther again, "effective" will only be in terms of man sized target accuracy. Dead/wounded is dead/wounded be you hit by an accurate or inaccurate bullet.
Edit, beaten to it 😄
They're not aiming or using scopes, the target is over 1km away, there is a camera man standing right next to them.
It's a Chechen TikTok video.
I don't know have they much chance at all tbh. Even going solo, how do you stay warm. Be killed by Ukr, Winter, or your own side.
Scopes aren't the point, lethal range is. It's sub optimal shooting all the same. I wouldn't volunteer to stand on the far bank.
But, but, but India and China will buy all the russian oil 😄
I believe the first and second weapons they fired were the M72 LAW which has a max range of 1200m, so fancy that.

Sorry missed that. It's now okay to shoot surrendering soldiers? You appear to be part of a group, 'we', do you have any links to your organisation and perhaps explanations as to the cause for moving the goalposts? Maybe Ukraine issued a missive to explain the new rules?
Another source suggested Russian's didn't get that memo and are incensed by the execution.
As for Kim, she is hardly a conspiracy theorist. She had a regular slot on the rising and quit when they wouldn't let her interview faucci (standards). She was against lockdown and I for one would not like to be in the zero COVID Chinese dystopia. I have found her to at least make an effort to investigate news and not just reprint whatever the government publishes.
Maybe listen to the interview before you make up your mind.
You didn't even answer the issue: surrendering russians engaged in shooting again thus became combatants again.
You can blame the lone russian wahoo who caused it and got the comrades shot however, go on, do it, grow a spine.
The rest of the post is pure whataboutery. Again.
My sources says otherwise
Poor feckers but they've no business being there - let them die or piss off back to Russia.
