Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

It should be noted that yesterdays attack was about the size of a Russian attack we see daily in multiple areas of the front. And like the Russian convoy assaults all vehicles pretty much got destroyed, many infantry were killed or captured. Russia mainly used drones for this similar to how Ukraine defends.

It's become clear that the advancement of drones have made it extremely difficult for either side to advance without huge losses especially now with fibre optic drones.

So yesterday the Ukrainian attack was destroyed in Kursk, the Russian attack in Kursk was destroyed, the Russian attack in terny and kupiansk destroyed. Absolutely brutal time to be an assault soldier.

I have seen nothing that backs up your claim about the Ukrainian advance being destroyed. Are you going Bricksterish on us?

B52 cockpit upgrade from analogue to glass.

It famously has atrociously inefficient and smokey engines, They are about to replace them with far better ones developed by Rolls Royce.

Not forgetting that the military budget figure issued by Putin, and the actual amount of cash that survived the corruption to be spent, are two different figures….

Maybe because you don't follow any sources that show Russian drone strikes on the attacking convoys. The Ukrainian channel's I followed shared the drone images of their convoys advancing but left out the rest of the clip where the drone flew in and hit their armour. Or the follow up strikes to finish them off. There was a challenger tank and at least 1 Leo hit amongst other ATV's.

Like I said the result was basically how it is for the daily Russian attacks. If Ukraine want to advance here they'd need constant attacks but they prefer probing attacks rather then endless brute force meat waves the Russians opt for.

The new engines are not as powerful as they could have been made, as too much of the airframe/etcwould need changes to cope with extra power.

If I could I'd say something to you now that'd get me banned. Let's just say I don't like the cut of your jib. What fairytale do you live in that a reasonably small Ukrainian attack on one of the hottest points of the frontline went well for the attackers? They suffered losses.

I provided balance through the fact Russia had multiple similar sized attacks in the last 48 and for them it went equally bad. The reality is it's an absolute nightmare to attack at the moment for both sides. If you don't want Ukraine taking these sort of losses again you better hope they never go on the attack again.

@CelticRambler I didn't watch any recycled footage from Vuhledar who's terrain a few months ago looked nothing like Kursk now. I'm not stupid. Like I said Ukrainian channel's literally used the Russian drone footage minus the strikes.

Where did I say Ukraine didn't suffer losses?

You still haven't provided a credible source for your earlier assertion that this latest Ukrainian advance was wiped out.

If you're just going to batt for Putin you might also throw in some "concern" while you're at it.

I'm putting you on my ignore list.

There are no reliable reports about the Kursk offensive coming from the Ukrainian side, so any chatter reported is coming from Russian sources, aka the FSB.

"In fact, there is not much information from the Kursk region. And all unofficial information, released by the DeepState intelligence group, is postponed by at least two or three days. I think that (within) up to a week we will see and hear interesting news from there," Narozhny said.

In turn, Andrii Kramarov, a reserve officer of the Ukrainian Army, tells NV that Ukrainian tactical aviation is already very active there, that is, air strikes are being carried out.

It seems that the timing chosen by the Ukrainians for the new counteroffensive was not accidental. Andrii Kramarov says that the Russians were in the process of rotating troops in Kursk: "The first information that appeared was that it was precisely in the Kursk region that a Russian column was destroyed near the front line. That is, the Russian column was supposed to ensure and carry out the rotation in the front area. He was given an accentuated blow of very good quality".

However, the Ukrainian military confirms that we should not expect any significant territorial advance, the goal being to grind the logistics of the Russian army and strengthen the Ukrainian presence in the region.

I'm listening to a twitter space about how easily Ukraine could have still accessed and used their nukes despite no launch codes. Giving those up has turned out to be a mistake.

Met a Polish man yesterday, he was looking for permission to stalk deer on my land. We got chatting about a local historical British/Irish incident. I said his nation suffered too with nazi's & soviets, he was visibly moved when I said WW2 didn't end until 1991. We both share similar opinions on russians and the war in Ukraine. It was a refreshing and welcome exchange. He told me about his grandfather, who served in the Ukrainian military in the early 20th century. My grandfather told me "I will forgive you anything, except if you visit russia". It restored my faith in humanity through all the bullshit.

Thats impressive!

Another little jaunt for a friend of russia!!
