Hmmm...a little short on training I think-
This very war is vulgar, obscene and profane, yet the thread is running to thousands of pages. Point being that in a thread about horrible and bloody war, I don't think it's unreasonable in principal to proffer this kind of footage, especially where the reader is not being forced to look at it.
War will never be the same again.
I'm not burying my head in the sand. I'm sure we're all well aware of what's happening, and what's happening is the same in all previous wars. No better, no worse. I don't want to cover up or suppress any information, far from it.
I don't think that boards.ie is a place to link snuff videos, to watch videos of soldiers from either side getting maimed and killed. I'm sure you'd agree that we don't post videos of rape and torture, even though that is also a common occurrence?
Are we that desensitized that we're promoting graphic videos of some Russian sod getting killed?
Surely this is against the charter:
Do not post any material that you know or should know is hateful, abusive, harassing, false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, vulgar, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or illegal.

'Tis but a scratch, compared to Marinka.
Interesting all right, in the sense that we don't have Ukraine's input. And I'm pretty sure that statements like "Most people agree" that a settlement will have to be made IE: Let Putin keep is ill gotten gains. Is NOT how this saga will end. Another pro Putin anti Zelenski viewpoint. Ukrainians have the Russians well sussed out. Either they chase them out of Ukraine, and that means all of Ukraine, inc, Crimea or the Russian threat will never end.
@correct horse battery staple
Putin and his generals don’t care how many Russians die
He must care a bit, if only because if he gets all his men killed, he won't be able to win this war.
Yes, I think that one (SCMP) used to be somewhat okay, or not a total waste of time reading (Hong Kong based).
Now of course Xi/CCP have crushed any lingering freedom there and put remains of that "2 systems 1 country" idea in the bin. I see on wiki it is owned by Alibaba.
God help any of its writers and editors if they publish anything the party don't like!
Zabrodsky has gone off script somewhere in Donbas, deep behind enemy lines...there are rumours...
Kirby has been sent to... 'find' him.
Wagners ride of the valkyrie is blaring at high volume from a flight of Mi-8s...there is napalm...lots of napalm. A lovely smell in the morning to some.
Apocalypse Now 2, coming soon to a theatre of operations near you
Sunday - day of rest.
Too busy doing a roast in the fan forced oven.
Perun's weekly update video.
I haven't checked which version it is, but I posted a video of this engagement 5 pages back.
Bakhmut looks like its been hit by a nuclear strike,thats how bad it looks after months of shelling
And its littered with dead Russians
Russians doing great things for Russian "culture".
It's amusing to think that one of the Russian excuses for invasion was discrimination against Russian speakers when the invasion as done more to promote the Ukrainian language than anything the UKR government has ever done.
Fair enough. Just hoping it doesn't have any bearing on how well Russia is able to prepare its defensive lines for if/when this Ukrainian counteroffensive comes to pass.
You'd think the Russians watch the news too and none of it is top-secret information.
There seems to be three sides to it:
1) For Ukrainians - look what we're getting soon
2) For Russians - look what's coming your way soon
3) For Western allies - look how much we are doing to help Ukraine
How much is enough in terms of what information is allowed out about exactly what the Ukrainians are training on in NATO countries. On the one hand, the Russians may well know anyway, but on the other hand their intelligence apparently wasn't good enough to know that their guns would not be decorated with garlands of flowers by Ukrainians grateful to be 'liberated'.
interesting seeing the US Army liaison there too
I hope they have the proper training on the new gear like tanks etc and it hasn’t been rushed.
The battlefield is totally different than training(obviously).
The orcs would love nothing more than west and NATO equipment destroyed in the first few days of a counter offensive. The propaganda would be huge.
Is several weeks training enough from that link?
Don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of Russias air superiority, but could they be holding it back for this counter offensive?
Cant be saying that -500 social credit.
Documentary about the training
Challenger 2 tank crews trained up and returning home.
Slow day yesterday, only 700 orcs demilitarized.
N/A
An ex-US-Navy "40 Defiant" patrol boat is filmed powering up the Dnipro River, under the Ukranian navy flag.
A sure sign of things to come. We will be witnessing more and more sights such ad these as the Western equipment begins to be assimilated into Ukraine. Russia will be looking at this buildup with interest. Will they look forward to the propaganda pay-day of destroying any new, technologically superior gear, or are they, in actual fact, fearful of how the Ukrainian Armed forces is morphing into what has been called "Europe's best and most powerful army"
Is Putin's call for dialogue a desperate cry to be spared in the coming onslaught?
I really hope that the West realises that they have one shot at this. They must, must get it right.
One giveaway that it's imminent would be the quick wind-up and completion of all training programs across the world, and the return to Ukraine of all troops abroad. For example, two full howitzer classes in France has wound up over the weekend. 1 week earlier than expected.
Fun Fact. We are doing a wee bit of training too. On the QT, of course and not directly. Just a wee bit.
Anyway, here is that patrol boat...filmed a few days ago.
Wow, China is so worried about the Ukrainian males. Insert heart emoji. Riiiight. I read that article thinking, China is trying to make the most of this conflict for its own advantage. It’s ‘let Germany have the Sudetenland’ bollix. Let’s be clear, the Chinese dictator government only cares about the Chinese dictator government, and doesn’t care about the Chinese people, never mind white, western males in Europe.
Thanks ever so much, but a Crimea ethnically cleansed of non Russians, settled with Russians is not the basis of doing a settlement. Now, how’s about Chinese ethnic cleansing? Anything to say about that, seeing as we have your attention?
You can't trust any Chinese based media anymore their government strictly controls the narratives
Sorry,bud,just me that misunderstood then
That makes more sense
Interesting view from Asia. Unhappy with both Russia and USA.
