Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

The attacks this week may have involved Russian assets wanting to oust Putin. I wouldn't discount Kazakhstan helping Ukraine either.

They got the commander and staff too:

There's an interesting question posed in the vatnik tweet about the train : What genius came up with the idea of combining a train of equipment with grain truck ...

Probably someone between a rock and a hard place, who was under pressure to deliver both but didn't have two locomotives available. Russia's rail network has been under a lot of strain for over two years, and I'd say this is Ukraine's way of making things worse.

Imagine now if they pulled off a Spiderweb 3, and rained down hell fire on several Russian ports (or adjacent navy bases) thanks to trojan containers brought in on ships ...

It seems Putin has decided to bet the whole federation on this Sumy incursion, and he's left gaps in Russia's security all over the place. Gaps that Ukraine obviously know about.

Isn’t it mad (and in a perverse way impressive) that one man can persuade/force a million men to head off to almost certain deaths ?

You only live once, and it’s hard to imagine that the average Russian in the street cares too much about Ukraine. To give up your life for this is incredible. They all must have family, friends, parents, maybe kids etc. who want to see them live.

You hear of thousands of deaths just to capture a tiny village

Extermination of Orcs who have been targeting Ukrainian civilians - very satisfying conclusion.

They might need to move some troops from somewhere to Dnepropetrovsk oblast considering they have officially advanced in 2 places over the border last night.

I assume the containers would have GPS enabled and they could trigger the roof opening etc... simply via location. When it starts moving at highway speed on land, it's pretty easy to assume it's on the back of a truck.

Maybe they just go via a sea drone and sail half way around the world to reach Russian assets on their East Coast.

With the ingenuity of Ukrainians, I wouldn't rule anything out. They have proven Russian airfields are vulnerable to drones, it's just getting them close to the bases. Maybe they just use empty flatbed trailers this time, less likely to be stopped or inspected. I'm sure the next delivery method is already in the planning stage.

I am amazed by Ukrainian ingenuity. How do you have trailers or train carriages modified to accommodate drones IN Russia?

It is not like they can cross the border with them. It makes me wonder, how many Ukrainian drones are already in Russia just waiting for the go ahead.

I think the key to this could be Trump cutting off Ukraine but Ukraine being able to continue attacking Russia. Once Putin sees Ukraine is not dependant on the US then he knows that he has no influence & Ukraine can strike Russian cities without sanction.

US support helps Ukraine but it also greatly restricts it

it was noted in Russia during its time in Afganistan, the nation got ‘ fed up’ with all the body bags coming back. Apart from the cost of the war becoming unsustainable I think that the ‘women of Russia/uSSR ‘ at the time and they making their position against the war /returning bodybags helped bring AaboutRussia’s disengagement

Putin whopably has more control over the media today so a different , more positive narrative Is in play. And the body bags coming back now are mainly going back to the more traditional ‘backward’ prepublication within the federation. So

So he can keep the lid on what’s going on now for ONLY SO LONG

Military hardware used by putin's terrorists is taken out by the armed forces of Ukraine on a daily basis. They have had to go to north Korea and Iran to get direct military assistance to prop up their invasion of Ukraine from collapsing completely. The capacity of Ukraine to produce its own weapons that allow them take out the military hardware of putin's terrorist state has been increasing and as proved by equipment putin's forces are now employing in attacks on Ukraine the stock of hardware his military had at the start of the war is dwindling. To defeat putin's terrorist state is a big ask but Ukraine has no other option in the face of a genocidal dictator attacking them. The biggest kick in the teeth to putin's terrorist air power with the drones launched from the back of trucks recently was all using Ukrainian made weapons and the armies of the world are now looking to Ukraine to learn how to deal with terrorists like putin.

What support?

As far as I am aware, agent Krasnov and secretary for hair gel, ended support some time ago. The big clue was when Australia tried to arrange shipping for near 50 Abrams tanks, only to find the US personell had gone from the main logistics hub in Poland. Nothing for them to do.

You still get an occasional BS bleep for the sake of appearances, like trying to find a Patriot system from non US sources, but that drew a blank, as intended.

A drone the size of a quad bike from Ukraine’s 5th Brigade sneaks past wrecked vehicles and suddenly opens fire on Russian positions. With help from an aerial drone, it catches the enemy completely off guard.

More use of a drone for attacking the enemy.

Jesus I despise this current administration.

No words to describe them.
