Think about it they roughly know where all the Russian positions but they also know that there artillery and drones will keep those Russian pinned down and they won't be threatening your positions ,only for 100-150 Russians appear in your positions and you don't have artillery or drones to cover you,it could have been very dangerous situation for anyone to have been in , but it's been confirmed that the Russians grained positions which they can likely increase the numbers in adviika,and it's not the first time they've used a similar tactic and attack, months of artillery and constant attacks can ware people down especially in trenches, accounts coming from people who have moved out of trenches say the Artillery is coming down around the clock along with drones , tiredness and complacency and kick in ,
Hard to sy I suppose it depends where they popped out of the sewers and was there say a large concentration of Ukrainian military in 1 position resting maybe in a building and the Russians got in there before they knew what was happening, how long where they going around before Ukrainian forces realised what was happening and what troops Russia was using as well as if they were using some of their more crack troops and they got in amongst the Ukrainians especially if coming from a direction and place where you never would of expected them to be they could of caused carnage.
One poster here did believe it.
Israel just put in a substantial military Order with the US to include more F35s F15EXs not even in service ,Apache helicopters ,along with artillery and other munitions to be filled asap they have asked the US Airforce to give up there production slots on the F15s F35s who has priority over foreign customers, now last time Israel asked for munitions after the Oct 7th terrorist attacks US shell deliveries to Ukraine dropped by 30%
I'd believe the sewer story is possible. Not sure I'd believe the 300 dead Ukranian soldiers from the single move unless we get more official confirmation.
What twitter sources are posting that?
Either that or toilet bowls?
Erdogan signs off on Sweden's NATO membership. Just Hungary left now.
It's definitely true ....
It's a large loss for any Ukrainian unit in a single action
I'm seeing that sewers story from a lot of trustworthy twitter accounts. I'd be inclined to say it's true unfortunately.
Another twist in the tale
From Both sides
A lot about this story is just not adding up. Its totally bizarre isnt it.
@jmreire looking again at the video could it be a Water tank .....???
Thought it might have been the cockpit at first but it looks very square, could be rows of seats or a pallet of cargo,it was shredded like the last IL 22 hit near Crimea
In the Russian military, the codes for 200 and 300 are respectively dead are cargo 200 and injured cargo 300.
More on the Il76. I wonder what was that "Lump" falling off before it hit the ground?
Yes they do use those codes. Accept you’re wrong and grow the f up.
I'm sure they would laugh as much as I did reading today
It was a gift from Allah..... it came from above!!!😎
I must mention that to my Afghan Friends....I'm sure that they would be interested!!!😎
Gutless and shameful.
That is correct. Mainly though the numbers in terms of vote cast in the last presidential election for each candidate were because the turnout was unusually high. American democracy or what passes for that over there is marked by very low voter turnout typically. Voter turnout in 2020 was 66% which would be a low number in most western democracies. In the US it was their highest turnout in over 100 years. Voter turnout for them is usually below 60%.
Cargo 200 (code name) - Wikipedia
Cargo 200 (Russian: Груз 200, Gruz dvésti) is a military code word used in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet states referring to the transportation of military fatalities.
Something fishy going on
Where in the tweet does the figure 300 mention dead and the figure 200 mention wounded? How did you assign the number 300 to KIA and 200 to wounded?
Ah in fairness it includes IFV etc... but still crazy figures to make up. It's a shame someone doesn't add up all the individual vehicles claimed to have been destroyed and compare it to what was actually donated.
Like 6 Caesar's donated to Ukraine and Russia claim they have destroyed 17 etc...
That kind of detail.
Emojis are military codes now .....
The link posted by you speaks of
" got some of ours 200 and 300 .... which obviously means, got some of ours killed and wounded.
Claiming it means exactly 300 killed and 200 wounded shows a great deal of linguistic gymnastics and a complete lack of understanding of the codes used in Soviet and EX Soviet states.
So if they don't use sovsiet codes, why are they trying to get rid of codes they never used ?
