I always taught the UA was using it as a meat grinder for the Wagner mercenaries and for Russian troops in particular.
It was interesting that I saw a military analyst night that commented that the UA was gone very quite and when this happened previously it foreshadowed the attacks on Kharkic and Khearson.
Another thing I noticed is the way the is a lot of media attention drawn to visits by senior Russian military personnel to the front line and their sending of Circus performers, singers etc to the front to help morale.
This indicates that there is a serious issue with morale in the Russian army. It could be close to imminent collapse
You forgot to put Russian before infantry
TBH the riskiest job in the world at present is to be a member of the Russian army. You are not only in danger from the UA but you are seen as expendable by your superiors.
They cannot give you proper equipment, food, weapons, first aid....,but hey here are a few performing monkeys to keep you happy
Not a good day for the Russians-
Hopefully to send Lukashenko and the russians back to Kremlin
The other could be preperations for an attack on kiyv again together with the russians.
Belarusian armed forces have concluded combat readiness check
what are they getting ready for?
I don't know why but......
There's a simple solution for the Russians .
Leave.
Bakhmut......
Seems the Russians are no longer in bakhmut. Imagine that
In 2-3 days, the estimate of orc deaths will reach 100k. Thats 10k per month. The 3 day plan really goes according to the plan
I feel sad for many of the Russians too, just not as much.
It's only sad when Ukrainians get killed
World's worst job being an infantryman in Bakhmut.
And yet, we're all okay with this.
It has been reported here a few times in the past but I thought if the 'Washington Post' is carrying the story again I would mention it again.
Russia's 200 separate rifle brigade was decimated. They went into Ukraine with 1400 and now the number left is not correctly known.
That was the Unit that was sent to Syria. Russia, most likely now has less than 900 elite troops left in its entire country. Put another way, a busload of wide boys from the Bronx could walk on Moscow next week and not much would stop them.
Artillery. It is very like WWI in places.
If such a thing was so simple, this war would already be over.
That's exactly the comment made on Sky News (90 seconds in) and I'd imagine the HIMARS M30A1 rockets and the top attack 155mm arty shells will be key to clearing those trenches. Drones with thermal cameras will be able to scan and spot with ease. Fly right over the trench, send the GPS location to the artillery unit and bobs your uncle. Anyone thinking nepalm bombs dropped from drones would be better vs dug in soliders?
If you dig trenches and then you hide in them are you not just conveniently accumulating men in a nice line for drones to efficiently kill them? I don't get it, it's not ww1
Kremlin actors in Moscow looking for media attention waving Serbian and Russian flags.
Desperate Dans looking for a second front and distraction from home and abroad of the war in Ukraine.
THAT! is beyond fucked up!
But most of the big orders or biggest orders is for US and other Western equipment and defense systems ,or trying to negotiate give us new toys and we will send the old toys to Ukraine,
I think there needs to be a lot of weapons/ammo manufacturing ramped up, loads of countries are (re)arming themselves so there's a backlog of orders everywhere - not sure how much longer Ukraine can be supplied if production doesn't increase dramatically. That's assuming the war doesn't end soon, of course.
Wonder what he did (or in the case of Putin, he did not do? ) or will we ever know? Possibly sometime after Putins demise???
This is good news - if the Swiss armaments industry are going to be as useless as the tits on a bull when things matter. Then time to cut them out of the equation and hit them them in the pockets. Do they think they're safe in the centre of Europe, who'd come to the help of useless neighbours like the Swiss.
Russia orders Serbian thugs to attack. Two days later they attack.
Any who follow Russian orders in the Eu should be deported to Russia.
Tis a bit smokey .
Panfries and smoking again
And on the other hand those Nrs will be more than matched by the millions of Russians that will be trying to escape what's left of Russia. Only to find that they will not be welcome anywhere,,not even by their erstwhile pals in Iran and Nth Korea, with Turkey being the exception ( but that will be limited to the oligarchs ) The majority of Russians will be left at home to pick up the tab that Putin left behind.
There was a post on a Telegram channel about how the Orcs were searching for and stealing all the musical instruments they could find so their troops could entertain themselves with them.
...
Someone in Kherson just dodged more than just a bullet.
Ah no, This cant be true. After all we have posters on here claiming that the cold and conditions will affect ALL soldiers the same way. If this is the case why according to the this post:- https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120009579#Comment_120009579 are they saying that the Russian troops are leaving en-masse, and most stay only at gunpoint? Hard to blame them, no winter gear, food shortages, salary's not being paid, little or no medical help available.
Blue one of those in the post for me, fingers crossed I can wear it for Christmas day.
