Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

Ukraine doesn't have to do jack.

Meanwhile. Back in reality,

And some nice UAF strikes

Lovely view

Just to reiterate for posters who aren't familiar with your posts. You deny that Russia are pursuing a genocidal agenda in Ukraine, your posts amount to propaganda.

I honestly don't know why Bland is let post here, it's all obvious astroturfing.

Although their dispatches have decreased in regularity.

Heard of a German man (former east german) in his 70's involved in cereal seed breeding. Who took it upon himself to go to Moscow recently to as he says relearn his Russian as he is convinced Putin and the Kremlin are going to be controlling europe again and wants to be on the good side of the Russians. The same man most likely up to all this time would be a russian spy and feeding information back to his handlers in russia and probably looking for anyway to undermine what is in europe at the moment.

When I heard this I was nearly impressed first by his optimism that he must believe he'll live forever. But then that cooled off by how much a pr1ck of a man he must be and he probably has a list of people he'd like to have executed/disappeared if the russians came back. They live among us.

5% of the orc refining capacity destroyed.

Without a moral perspective people will be scattered to the four winds, thinking only of what they can get out of it. Realpolitik.

With regard to our recent input of Kremlin-approved scutter: the ignore button is a wonderful thing.

Yep-

Yeah, your man's three day war is going perfectly according to plan. Apparently.

Forbes is reporting the disintegration of another Ukrainian brigade. The NATO trained, NATO equipped 155th brigade collapsed with mass desertions and high causalities when sent to the frontline city of Pokrovsk in late December and was officially disbanded in the first week of January with the survivors parcelled out to other brigades. It seems the same thing has happened to the 157th brigade, again NATO trained and NATO equipped. Forbes reports the 157th was sent to Pokrovsk (again) and promptly collapsed (again).

From Forbes:

In the 157th Mechanized Brigade, “everyone is new.” It’s no wonder, then, that the 157th Mechanized Brigade was falling apart as it arrived in Pokrovsk. There were reports of brigade troopers taking one look at their trenches—and promptly abandoning their positions.

“The situation in the 157th Mechanized Brigade mirrors that of other brigades in the 150th series,” noted Militaryland, a collective that tracks the Ukrainian military force structure. “Soldiers were taken during the formation process, units hastily deployed to the front and sent without proper training, resulting in heavy casualties.”

The point about the other 150 series brigades seems to also be occurring with the 153rd brigade. There are reports of the soldiers of that brigade already complaining about organisational problems, poor leadership, lack of supplies etc and that desertions have begun to spike in that brigade too. The Ukrainians have also launched an investigation into the 156th brigade, due to supposed significant shortcomings in the unit.

The Kyiv Independent recently ran an article where the Ukrainians complained about the standard of training offered by NATO as being not fit for the realities of modern warfare. In one particularly damning comment, it was said the only thing NATO can provide that is useful for training is the maintenance manual.

The realities of modern warfare show that foreign training, unless adapted to Ukrainian conditions and integrated with unit practices, is not only ineffective but dangerous. Ironically, our soldiers — mechanics, drivers, tankers, artillerymen, grenade launchers, and machine gunners — often teach NATO instructors how to operate the equipment provided. All we truly need from our partners is a proper maintenance manual.

It's not only the 150 series that are being routed however. The Kyiv Independent also reported that soldiers of the 110th brigade abandoned their wounded when fleeing Velyka Novosilka.

Two soldiers from the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade, which is currently defending Velyka Novosilka and facing a similar fate, have recounted how they had to leave behind dozens of their wounded comrades in order to increase their own chances of survival.

This might all explain the recent uproar in Ukraine over Budanov's (Ukrainian head of military intelligence) reported comments to Ukrainian lawmakers about the prospects in the war. He apparently told them in a matter of fact way that Ukraine needed peace by the summer, that if nothing changed then the front lines would collapse. Some early reports claimed he said or Ukraine would be destroyed, but it was corrected to just the collapse of the front lines.

Two posts in as many days. We're being spoiled with concerning comedy 😂😂

Anyway, looks like a slight shift in stance from Israel. Need to get shifting a little more -

As the war in Ukraine continues, reports indicate that Israel is providing Ukraine with Soviet and Russian-made arms that were previously seized in Lebanon.

This development suggests a possible shift in Israel’s stance on the war, as the country has largely maintained neutrality since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Israel Supply Ukraine With Captured Russian Weapons

Russia was “forced” to invade

Says right here in schoolbook

Imagine Ukraine received more leopard's and Bradleys. Imagine instead of just one being tasked with heroically taking out this column there was 3 or 4 of them. Ukraine with the lack of supplies have to make do. Hurt them as they attack but slowly retreat.

I really thought by now they'd have received a lot more of this type of weapon.

Edit: I seen this is likely from November. Still quite recent.

I did that a while back for that other one, wankster69 or something… I think it’s time to do the same to bland…..
