Awesome! So there's a thousand or more of these in the region, you can seriously attrit valuable tank crews and command with this. Didn't do shit to that tank though. May have damaged the optics on the tank. Doesn't have to be a "kill" to diminish its combat abilities. Heck it could have killed or hurt some of the crew that were exposed. |

Starting to think that Kadyrov is just a straight up charlatan and drain of Russian resources.
He just posted to his Russian Fakebook page- ETA- Three videos. And that third one...someone may have actually shot back  For the valiant internet warrior- https://vk.com/wall279938622_1330238 Ramzan Kadyrov yesterday at 12:32 pm This is how the usual everyday life of the Chechen security forces in the Luhansk direction passes. In this footage, we can see how Ukrainian nationalists are squeezed out of their fortified positions. Apparently, the sweep is planned and as such there are no difficulties in this matter for the guys. Against the background of unsuccessful attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to get out of the encirclement, the rest are rapidly losing their fighting spirit, there can be no question of counteroffensive attempts. However, the Ukrainian media, as it turned out, do not disdain even planting about the alleged counteroffensive of fictitious troops. What kind of mood should Ukrainian servicemen have if they have to be fed such lies? I feel sorry for those who are still trying to resist by leading to such banal lies. Our guys are impartial in their business. They will squeeze out this vile nationalist tumor, it is only a matter of time. No attempts by the enemy to retreat, much less defend the occupied territory, will be crowned with success as long as they are in the crosshairs of our guys. I wish success to all valiant fighters defending our freedom and honor! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hodgepodge: We keep concentrating on everything bad happening in Russia, meanwhile the Ukrainian successes have stopped the last week and the Russians seem to accelerating their methodical advances in the South. That is because, as predicted earlier, the war is devolving into a WWI-style war of attrition. The Ukrainians proved to be much more adept at a war of maneuver, so the Russians will no longer advance beyond overwhelming Artillery coverage. Also, the Russians are not moving beyond their (limited) logistic capabilities, which is why they are essentially advancing 1-2km at a time under rolling artillery barrages. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are in a combination Defensive fight, with external lines at near the end of their logistical lines. The Russians are throwing everything they have into maintaining an offensive to try to force either a negotiated settlement of an armistice. The goal of the Russians is to force (or have the Ukrainians forced by others) into a ceasefire before the Ukrainians integrate all of the newest donations and complete training of the 500,000 or so new troops they are fixin' to field. A good analogy would be the German Spring 1918 offensive. That is why everyone in Ukraine keep talking about the Russians being defeated between June and August and Zelensky was warning about a major Russian push in the Donbas over a month ago. Hopefully, the Ukrainian equivalent of Monash is planning the summer offensive. |

Although a lot of their work was luring Syrian Rebels into offensives and obliterating them with firepower and then slowly advancing. I never saw them complete large fast paced offensives. Probably helped they had air superiority too. |

It sounds like a shit ton of troops.

Russians have now consolidated their troops into larger forces and the small unit tactics are not going to work very well. The ukranian army now needs to become a large force. They need a shit-ton of troops to take ground against a large russian force. |

Russians have now consolidated their troops into larger forces and the small unit tactics are not going to work very well. The ukranian army now needs to become a large force. They need a shit-ton of troops to take ground against a large russian force. 1) Nothing is ever definite in war, as "The truth is always the first casualty", but what indications I've seen is that the number of Ukrainian troops engaged so far is nothing close to the reported 750,000 - 1,000,000 who have volunteered to fight in addition to their prewar Army. Also, the fact that they are calling back a lot of folks with recent military/combat experience is also an indicator, as, unlike the Russians, the Ukrainians seem to have something resembling a proper NCO corps, and large numbers of these folks haven't shown up on the battlefield as privates. 500,000 is a nice round number I have heard batted around (though this number doesn't differentiate by branch and tasking, and may include police volunteers, security guards, medics, those pushed forward as individual replacements, etc). Having said all that, even if the usable # for a new force number is 200,000 or so combat effectives, if adequately trained, decently led, and used effectively, and combined with the already engaged Ukrainian forces, this could be a game-changer. Hence the need for a Ukrainian John Monash to figure out what a combined arms attack against deeply-entrenched enemy forces looks like using 21st century technology. 2) Unknown. Fielding forces for the Ukrainians was much easier earlier in when the war was being fought in near proximity to major transit hubs. It will take significantly longer to move a heavy force almost to their borders and emplace the logistics to support offensive operations. My guess would be mid-June to mid-July, at the earliest, assuming all goes well and the tactical situation for Ukraine does not deteriorate in the interim. |

Regarding this video from an Austrian military analyst (posted earlier): it's REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzAl29Gl9MA Take Aways: 1) ShitLibs saying Elon Musk's donation of Starlink terminals isn't helping the Ukrainians to kill Russians don't know what the fuck they are talking about. 2) Ukrainians developed their own "killer app" called GIS ARTA to use the Starlink terminals to disperse their long range fires assets, while making their comms between units nearly jam-proof.3) The Russians are still demonstrating they are too dumb or lack the proper technology to change their arty employment scheme, as evidenced by the pictures still coming out, of their tubes parked nearly wheel-hub-to-wheel-hub. As a consequence, they are often dying badly. I cannot wait to see HIMARS and MLRS enter the mix, it will be glorious.

"Canada sending M982 "Excalibur" extended range GPS-guided 155mm artillery shells to Ukraine." https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/48680/photo_2022-05-21_21-08-32_jpg-2395643.JPG The quality of the video is not good enough to see if all the required equipment is present. It looks like the laser ring Gyro and potentially the muzzle velocity system is present but we actually need to see area under the tube because most of the required equipment is in the under cradle assembly. |

"It's the last day when Kharkiv residents lived in the subway (metro stations).
Today metro starts working in Kharkiv and the local authorities want people to move to their residences. But not everyone likes this idea. "It is dangerous to be outside shelters, which are metro stations. I'd better stay here," says one old woman.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chaingun: UA has to attack the RU supply routes. M777 can do this and/or SOF, so hopefully soon the RU supplies get cut Moscow claiming they’ve wiped all 90 M777 out already which I don’t believe. I’m sure I can find a couple M777s in operation tomorrow. I’m curious on the long term feedback on NATO arty from UA including the 777. It is a shitty way to transition in the middle of a war but I think the training partnership since the 90s especially since 2015 appears to have been beneficial. The ARNG is already bragging in NG publications about UA performance. If Kiev’s mobilization goes well, they should be able to sustain. While I don’t think Russian casualties are at 20-30K, the fact that they’re still not mobilizing back in Russia will cost them. Grinding civilians isn’t going to offset that besides being a gross tactic. I think the Russians felt Aleppo showed the way to do business in densely populated areas  Any ARF members with an arty background have previous experience training the UA in artillery?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MMcfpd: Henry Kissinger: Ukraine must give Russia territory The "West" is hardly unified, but that was in a speech to our would-be overlords at Davos. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MMcfpd: Henry Kissinger: Ukraine must give Russia territory Dr Kissinger said the war must not be allowed to drag on for much longer, and came close to calling on the West to bully Ukraine into accepting negotiations on terms that fall very far short of its current war aims. "Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante. Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself," he said. The "West" is hardly unified, but that was in a speech to our would-be overlords at Davos. Kissinger can go jump off a cliff. Screw that POS. |

While the rest of Hollywood is keeping her at arms length and holding their nose when she’s around, Billy is excited to see her and wants to get together with her again. Dude is a class act. Got his shit together more than I do.  Attached File |
