The former Russian prisoner of war spoke in an interview about the "horror of captivity", where the most terrible "torture" was the study of the Anthem of Ukraine and Ukrainian songs.
Russian propagandists, of course, expected something brighter, so they deleted this video in the future😁
One can but lol.
A brown pants-sir moment from September
Could some people please help me out, I need to organise a search party in order to try and find my sympathy, which is missing.
Sounds good to me.
Considering they claim they only lost 15,000 , they exceeded that barely a month into ukraine,they have exceeded their losses from Afghanistan,the two Chechens wars and various other internal conflicts and then add the other 10,000 + Russians killed in Ukraine over the last 9 years ,
And people still believe Russia are going to make a comeback and take Kiev and the other occupied territories permanently
Guess that's why the Kremlin was making noises about 'negotiating' in last while, to their terms of course and to get a breather.
If those numbers are even 50% accurate then its many times the total losses for the 10 year Afghan war they had between 79-89.
No way they can sustain that rate
???
One side is better equipped for it than the other.
So yes the cold will effect one more than the other
Because the cold only affects one side, apparently 🙄
Anyway, moving on, a good analysis of the winter situation by William Spaniel
I believe the original source was actually Russian and we all know people have a habit of actually believing Russian sources , remember it was claimed by some Ukraine were retreating from Kherson due to huge losses according to russian sources on social media and parroted elsewhere including here
Slaughtered .
But remember kids the important thing is.
Bakhmut reminds me of the early stages of the battle of Kursk. I think the UA is draining the capacity of the more elite/ better equipped parts of the Russian Army. As it is depleted of functioning resources it will become more and more vulnerable to a counter-offensive.
Hearing informed US military sources saying that the embargo on long range attacks on Russia are no longer in place may indicate that the Himar's rocket systems may be reconfigured for longer range attacks.
More and more I think we will see a major offensive early in the NY when the ground hardens
Sorry Francie, it seems like wishful thinking. Maybe not on your part, but if not, then from wherever you're getting your information. 1000m to the east of that location is at the end of the yellow line.
That in turn is only 1000m from the acknowledged Russian-held territory, so it would make complete sense that that's the contested ground where their cannon fodder encounter the Ukrainian grinder on their daily.
Below were the positions on the 20th of October by the way. Do you still think the Russians are progressing well?
Video is in the comments below that tweet which I won't post. Apparently, it was the Georgian Legion that conducted the ambush.
The command part.
I'm a bit confused. The 58th army should have at least 20,000 soldiers ?
But there's no way a HIMARS strike killed that many soldiers? What have I misunderstood? Was only part of the 58th deployed? Something lost in translation?
Check the pin, it's never been this close before.
Theyre a pretty unlucky bunch, they were also fully destroyed in May of this year:
And again in September:
More orcs vanquished by HiMars
Yeah there will need to be a lot more. The EU countries will have to ramp up production
Fighting reached the outskirts of Bakhmut 2 months ago.
Fighting has now apparently reached the outskirts of Bakhmut.
Ukraine are at the point of ramping up their own production of artillery shells.
Production of 152 and 122 mm caliber shells established in Ukraine Secretary of National Security Council of Ukraine (yahoo.com)
Ironic that the Russians would be fans of a bi-plane.
Would have thought they'd be against that type of thing!
This guy is usually not far off the money, he reckons Ukraine are gathering stocks for another major offensive.
The Ukrainians are not resting on their laurels winter or not...
How much can we collectively manufacture in the next few years?
I believe the Ukrainians are using between 2 and 4000 shells per day.
From here it looks like the US plans to scale up from 14000 a month currently to 20k/mo next year, and 40k by 2025
20k a month is a start, but it will take a lot more production elsewhere also to keep Ukrainian artillery supplied
I agree. Which is why it seems inevitable that all Democratic nations must provide as much military aid to Ukraine next year as they possibly can
Yes it is, but even so plenty of Russians are believing it. I spoke to a Russian friend last night,,,,all the wests fault. EU are only slaves to America.Etc. Russia has not even started serious fighting yet, but are now preparing for one big push, and they will wipe out Ukraine defence's in a week or two. And so on and so on.
sure, sure...
