This is really worth a watch, or at least a scan. It’s a longer version of an earlier TG video of what could more or less be called ”action” in Lysychansk. In it, Kadyrovites hide behind DPR bait troops and a tank, which takes a hit from something resulting in it nopeing right the fuck out while on fire. Then a DPR guy gets hit, the TikTokers look annoyed, and DPR executes the worst casualty evacuation in the history of warfare, but I mean, it’s tough having to do all the work.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By apr67: Well, it took 4 days but I read all of this.. Sheesh. A couple of questions for the hive. 1. I read that Russia is suffering a microchip shortage. I assume the get them from China anyway, so is this any different than the shortage everyone is facing, or something totally different? 2. I assume most drones have IR cameras, ergo making cover much harder (ie simple trees just are not enough). Is that a bad assumption? My understanding is the good chips come from Taiwan (and South Korea). There is apparently some chip manufacturing in China itself, but I don't believe it's huge or the more complex chips. My suspicion is China has enough problems/customers without worrying about if Russia gets any chips from them or not. |

Russian MT-LB hit with what seems to be troops riding on top, you can see the projectile hit from the top and left, looks like a Javelin strike.

Good narrative of the initial fight for Kharkiv. In it is a good clue about Russian loss of situational awareness regarding Ukraine. The response to Russian invasion was sabotaged, people KNEW it and prepared on their own.
Fight for school. How elite special forces were destroyed in Kharkiv A photo of a graduate in a red dress against the background of a ruined school in Kharkiv swirled on social networks and hit the pages of the world media. However, many mistakenly believed that the building was destroyed by Russian artillery. Even Kharkiv residents, whose children attended this 134th school, during a conversation with hromadske could not remember exactly what happened on February 27. In fact, the events at the school that day were a disgrace to Russia's elite special forces, who camped at the school. During the long battle, scouts and paratroopers of the occupying army were destroyed, and this became one of the key battles in the defense of the city. After that, the Russian army did not enter Kharkiv. According to one of the participants, Dmytro Oliynyk from Kharkiv, he tells about that fight at the hromadske school. It was his first combat experience, during which he was wounded and nearly lost his leg. “I had been preparing for a large-scale war for 1.5 years. The preparation of the defense in the city was sabotaged, so we prepared separately. We agreed with the police department to provide us with a base for training, and with the National Guard to provide a range for mastering shooting skills. We went out every month, trained, because we knew something would happen. With the beginning of the battles for Kharkiv, the Kharkiv Region Defense Headquarters was established, which included 30 organizations. The Azovs, led by Kostya Nemichev , also formed the Kraken unit: first it was part of the terrorist defense, and later as a separate special unit. And I joined them. For me, this was my first combat experience, because I am not in the military. When on the night of February 24 x *** o (Putin - ed.) Told about the decommunization of Ukraine - I immediately gathered all my things. When the shelling started, we had already gathered with the guys and were waiting for a "tool" for protection. On the same day, we moved to Pivnichna Saltivka (Kharkiv district, located in the north of the city - ed.) . On the morning of the 24th, after the shelling, the movement of Russian infantry to Kharkiv began. They attacked from the side of the Circuns (a village in the Kharkiv region - ed.) And reached the ring road. There they were met by the 92nd separate mechanized brigade and volunteers. The Russians almost entered the city, but were repulsed there. Then they were pushed further to the Circus. And on the 27th a group of Russians in ten "Tigers" (armored car - ed.) And several KAMAZs broke into the city. Residents of Kharkiv have been posting videos of Russians on social media since the morning. They broke through from Oleksiyivka (a residential area in the northern part of Kharkiv - ed.) And from the Forest Park. In the city, the column split, and five "Tigers" (the video shows four cars of the occupiers - ed.) Drove down Shevchenko Street. They were stopped there. |

Interesting about Kharkiv. I wonder if the reason Zelenskyy didn’t mobilize before the war is that he didn’t have full control at that time.

Anything that ejects its own canister has the problem of the canister bouncing and landing somewhere inconvenient. They can possibly streamline being having a projo in the loading tray, but I'm not super savvy on the 2S1 to know if that is possible or not. Looked impressive to me. That's inside a M109 Paladin I'm guessing? Looks like they were firing real fast! But I can't really impart much commentary about it since I never was in Artillery.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tomislav: I mean, I know I joked about the Glorious Democratic People's Republic of Donetsk and all, but its actually Russia. Luhansk and Donetsk have not been formally annexed into Russia. As such, they have their own set of laws, which include death penalty for certain crimes. Russia proper has a moratorium on death penalty. So if the American volunteers were captured by Russian forces, the most they will face would be a life sentence. What worries me is that after the announcements on social media that the Americans were captured, everyone went silent on this subject. No footage of interrogations, no photos, no mentions anywhere. This is very different from how the British POWs were treated. Something is up. I hope nothing happened to these two guys. |

I would imagine the Kremlin would immediately take control of any decisions regarding them….they don’t want low level minions creating a situation for them. |

True, and yet they’re practically giving away Russian passports anywhere they can. They’ll do whatever is convenient. If DPR commits war crimes, Russia will talk to little brother and take care of it, nudge nudge. They’re a deniability mechanism to be used and thrown away, just like Wagner. |

The Brits and the Moroccan captured by DPR previously were sentenced to death. Although the American guys were captured by Russians, so they have a better chance. It was bound to happen eventually. They understood the risks they were getting themselves into. I *hope* this encourages americans to get behind the war effort. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ludder093: US sending Ukraine new $1 billion arms package amid grinding Donbas fight Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ludder093: US sending Ukraine new $1 billion arms package amid grinding Donbas fight The U.S. aid will include two Harpoon launchers and an unspecified number of Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, or GMLRS, rockets for previously committed M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced in Brussels. Also included are 18 M777 howitzers, 36,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition and thousands of secure radios. Add this to what piggy noted, July is going to be interesting. |
