Talk of Russia winning the war ignores the fact that it is a failing empire, a country in terminal decline. The dictator has been in power for 20 years and has left it in a terrible state, riddled with corruption, theft and incompetence. I have serious doubts as to whether the Russian Federation will even exist in its current form in five year's time.
In fairness, some landing.
In all fairness, as these things go, it was a great landing, all things considered.
Attention!
Anyone in Drogheda or Navan areas step outside now and listen to the C-130j Commando II flying overhead.
This exact aircraft was involved in Special forces bi-lateral training in Ukraine in 2020.
Currently over Navan. Heading East.
I have seen several videos of ukrainian dugouts. They had doors and at least two had wood burning stoves:
And then you have this; Would you like to wash your clothes, take a sauna?
Advanced training, pre departure to Ukraine!!!
Here's the actual translation: "From 00:00 on December 11, 2022 (on the night from Sunday to Monday), drivers of trucks with a carrying capacity of more than 1.5 tons (including Gazelle cars moving both with cargo and empty) when crossing the Kerch Strait should choose an alternative land road route or use a ferry crossing. These vehicles will temporarily not be allowed for traffic on the Crimean bridge," the report said.
I guess you can forget your 40' Artic with its 40 ton cargo so for awhile. Maybe the discovered some flaw in the bridge after Putin driving his Mercedes -Benz G Wagen on the bridge? All 2'650 KG of it?
A good analysis of winter prep situation on the ground
Possible , or they're trying to draw Ukraine into a slow attritional conflict , and Bakhmut seems like the best place for them to get supplies to for it ..
And if they lose 3 or 4 troops to every 1 Ukraine loses they don't care ,
Apparently they're using new canon fodder troops (possibly drugged up ) as human sheilds for the more experienced troops behind ,
And they seem to have Kremlin backing - as they're using top of the line tanks and equipment,stuff the mainstream army is in short supply of , as well as Wagner air attacks ..
Head of Wagner gets called out by ex cons too for being a rooster or a man that allows other men to screw him in prison. they consider them the lowest and are treated like animals. Russia is just a cesspool of denial and cruelty.
Just read an article saying Russia are exchanging su35s for Iranian drones ,and ballistic missiles...
no idea how many .. (edit 24 that were built for Egypt,and not purchased,looks like this deal may have been planned since spring )
But struck me as funny , have our cheap drones , for planes you won't risk in Ukraine ..
So are we looking at Iranian su35s going up against Israeli f35s ..
Interesting. Thought a deal had already been done on them buying the SU-35 Flanker-E fighter jets a few months ago.
Not sure which is better 25/35
I think youre right ,headline was different to the article .
well they'll be fire and forget like the drones because spare parts and Russia haha.
Lots of news now about multiple attacks on Russian bases. 'Many dead' they say.
Plus reporting more attacks on bases in Melitopol and burdiansk . ( Gmlrs from himars maybe , just )
Whatever the Ukrainians are fiiring at Crimea seems to be effective ..
I think they are all out of range of the standard HIMARS. But it's surprising the US announced that the HIMARS sent to Ukraine were modified so they can't fire the long range ATACMS and a day later Ukraine launched attacks deep within Russia.
Obviously the US are in the loop with Ukraine and Ukraine has a new toy to play with, most likely Ukrainian built. It's most certainly well within their capability to produce.
There is a long range drone Ukraine was working on and testing (I believe successfully) 1000km range with 75kg payload capacity.
Meanwhile, the Orcs are no doubt getting ready to retaliate against the electrical grid and some random civilians again.
Cnocbui, they are doing that anyway, and have been hitting civilian infrastructure since the very beginning. linking them to hits carried out by Ukrainian forces may or not be true. If Ukraine stopped all offensive activities against the Russians, do you think that the ORCs would stop bombarding Ukrainian infrastructure? Simply put, they are murderous bastards, and are presently giving full vent to their bloodiest instincts.
Slava Ukraini
I know, and wasn't for a second suggesting a moderation of hostilities, I was meaning to contrast the differing, tactics, where Ukraine concentrates all efforts against materiel and combatant personnel, while the horde expend missiles on things that were never going to be shooting at them in the near future.
I was absolutely slaughtered for calling out a fake Sky News report on a supposed Ukrainian landing on the left bank of the Dnipro over a month ago. Below is the video I called out.
You can judge for yourselves who was right.
In the context of this, and the post I quoted, I think there is actual activity across the Dnipro that no one is talking about.
There has been a small, but very consistent number of attacks by partisan forces around the region of Melitopol for several months now. The attacks are too numerous and over too long a period to suggest that this is spontaneous popular uprising. My guess is that there are clandestine night time operations over the Dnipro to supply partisans, not disimilar to how defenders at Mariupol were supported when it looked like they were completely cut off.
The Dnipro is defendable to a large scale assault, but almost impossible to defend against a small scale supply drop to partisans. My guess is that this is where the real activity is happening at this moment.
200 roasted orcs not including injured...
Fake news 😂😂😂
I bet that figure of dead is the code for dead - 200. Striking again in translation.
Too round a figure and too much a coincidence with the code for dead.
You're probably right, 200 dead and 300 injured. Code 200/300 as you mention.
But of course, I'd love if we were wrong. Barracks should have the highest density of soldiers.
“I called out”
”You can judge for yourselves who was right.”
Have a good hard look at yourself.
Whatever anyone can say about this video, the Ukraine fight against Russia has been remarkable, practically unbelievable and the above analyst drew conclusions from what was known at the time.
But, we should focus on priorities here. You should demand sky news to give you an on air apology because this piece caused a poster to disagree with you on boards.ie. Do mention you ‘called him out’.
And, at worst it’s only premature - they can reuse this video at a later date. I for one can’t wait.
Slava Ukraini.
Apparently gmlrs are all good to about 75 km
But they have been accurately fired to 95 km and more .. probably needs perfect conditions ,down hill with the right wind behind you , but that puts it just in range of the coast ..
Probably not though , because the launcher would need to be on the front line , do the Ukrainians have the Turkish MLRS system yet ? 150 km range ..
Does seem to have been a substantial hit alright.
Seems to have been some kind of luxury spa resort taken over by the Orcs, so hopefully some high ranking officers taken out. Haven't heard of any generals being taken out for a while now.
