Russia - threadbanned users in OP

The layout of the vehicles in that picture actually match the older drone footage, so I don't believe it was AI generated.

Is there confusion here about a draftee who is trying to dodge and has to be persuaded? That does not make him a conscript.

They don't have combined arms operations ,they are applying what they learned with Nato forces and trying to operate like Nato forces without artillery and no aircover from aircraft or helicopter gunships,they are always going to face large vehicle losses facing Russian artillery on open ground, while also facing large minefields ,

'What in sam hell is a puma?'

CLOSE THE SKIES.

Ironically,after being written off , that ka52 engagement is a model of how attack helicopters are supposed to work ,

Hiding behind terrain to pick off fast moving armour from a distance , while staying behind enemy lines away from manpads and mobile sams ..

Wether the ukrainians can alter tactics to deal with this , obviously some form of top cover would help , but thats probably out ,

Probably almost out of quadcopter drone range so they cant really swamp an area with drones to spot and attack ,

Sending armoured formations into a modern battleground without any proper air cover is madness, it's another example of the western allies only allowing Ukraine to fight back with a hand tied behind it's back.

Attack helicopters & combat aircraft in sufficient numbers are badly needed by Ukraine to liberate it's national territory.

They should have been supplied by end of last year, even a total layman like myself will realise that sufficient air cover is vital.

Anyone suggesting but Putin, nukes / da bomb, peace talks, Ukraine are nazis, Ukrainians are Russians can go feck themselves.

Just give Ukraine the required military equipment to win this war.

They are both facing manpower problems.

Yeah nice. It's important to keep remembering we really just don't know the full picture. Because the Ukrainians aren't by and large posting their successes and Russian bloggers aren't going to post videos of bundles of their men fleeing like rats across open fields.

It's tough to sit here and see destroyed bradleys/Leopards and some poor coordination on tank movements. Even I've been a bit despondant at times. But we aren't seeing the good they're doing. For all we know these things could be murdering scores of infantry and dozens of tanks or capturing important positions before they take a hit. The true result of the offensive isn't going to be known for weeks or possibly months. So relax for now.

It has gotten so bad that a few weeks ago, Putin signed a new law into force that means now, all eligible Russians will receive notification to report to the nearest mobilization centre for registration, only now it will all be done by email, so no more "I did not receive the official summons" excuse. Failure to attend the centre within 10 days will mean that a 2nd email will be sent, and this will be considered final and binding, No excuses, and failure to attend after receiving this email will mean that basically you will become a non-citizen. You cannot present to any state institution's, hospital's, bank's etc. You can be arrested at any border. You are basically black listed. And this applies to Russian's who have left the jurisdiction as well. Now, on top of everything else, they are thinking about making a 6 day working week mandatory,,,with out any extra pay. Stalin MK 2 is now back in the Kremlin, and its becoming more and more obvious every passing day.

So why not verify before posting some random fire
