There is so much bullshit on both sides, disinformation, and crap on twitter and telegram. The Russians are not broadcasting their victories and achievements, so we don't have much to go on. Unlike wars in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc., we have not seen many videos of an actual ambush and set up, we just see the aftermath. The reluctance of Russia to post victories and achievements outside of Donetsk and Odesa is very interesting, I think they have taken the decision that no social media is better than announcing things. Same with Ukraine, there seems to be a lack of actual fighting and that's a smart decision. They are not giving away any ambush techniques, strategies, or how they are destroying so many Russian units. Basically, we don't know what's really going on, only the people on the ground do and information move so fast and thick, it's hard to trust anything. It's so easy to make a fake video now, and if you see shitty quality videos on youtube or Twitter, it's a good indication that it's fake. Modern computer games like DCS make it really easy to edit a video and very fast. There are lots of pro-Russian video clips on Twitter showing the addition of fake V, Z, O markings on destroyed tanks and trucks, so we really can not verify losses at this stage, that will take time and be the work of war historians and journalists. I think Putin has decided that the prize is worth it, and is absorbing losses because that's the only thing they know how to do. But, can they win with that strategy? |

I thought that Poland refusal at first was hardball negotiation. I'm sure they wanted someone to replace those donated MIGs with updated fighters. If this is true, then somebody did because there would be no way a country who's next on Putin's WARSAW appetite would give up fighters. It's either Germany, UK, or USA that behind it doing the updating for Poland. I suspect it's the USA because Poland wants F-35s more than ever. So does everyone else. Putin's invasion is probably the best salesman for Lockheed Martin. Would love to see their book to bill ratio are like in these next couple of weeks. |

do they have to re-mark them with Ukraine badging? While they likely won’t get Ukrainian livery they would certainly get the roundels repainted. I was on a trip where we helped deliver some IDF F-35s and while he jets had Israeli tail numbers, the roundels were covered and American ones applied over them since at the time they were American jets. |

The Slovenian foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the country's consulate in Ukraine was destroyed in a military attack on the city of Kharkiv. The ministry said on its Twitter account that it condemned the act and Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Consulates and embassies are considered sovereign territory of the country they represent. Legally, the Russians have attacked Slovenia. Slovenia is a member of NATO By Article 5 of Washington Treaty (AKA the North Atlantic Treaty) provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked. |

It would be the dumbest thing they could ever do in this situation. And they know it. you mean, like those 2 guys they paraded naked through the town, with only socks? or the chubby guy they tie-wrapped naked to a telephone pole? something something Geneva something. yeah, fuck all that shit. There is a difference between Ukrainian soldiers hog tying and ass raping Russian soldiers, and pissed off civilians hog tying and ass raping Russian soldiers. I agree neither should be done, and it's bad optics. But in terms of "war crimes"... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SheltiePimp: We are not seeing videos from Russia, which is surprising how many young troops are there, and everyone posts videos at that age group. They must have put a ban on using mobile phones and a lot of the dead Russians kit seem to have no mobile phones. As far as I can tell, we have very few videos or reports of Russians using drones, and they are not publishing their victories. There is so much bullshit on both sides, disinformation, and crap on twitter and telegram. The Russians are not broadcasting their victories and achievements, so we don't have much to go on. Unlike wars in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc., we have not seen many videos of an actual ambush and set up, we just see the aftermath. The reluctance of Russia to post victories and achievements outside of Donetsk and Odesa is very interesting, I think they have taken the decision that no social media is better than announcing things. Same with Ukraine, there seems to be a lack of actual fighting and that's a smart decision. They are not giving away any ambush techniques, strategies, or how they are destroying so many Russian units. Basically, we don't know what's really going on, only the people on the ground do and information move so fast and thick, it's hard to trust anything. It's so easy to make a fake video now, and if you see shitty quality videos on youtube or Twitter, it's a good indication that it's fake. Modern computer games like DCS make it really easy to edit a video and very fast. There are lots of pro-Russian video clips on Twitter showing the addition of fake V, Z, O markings on destroyed tanks and trucks, so we really can not verify losses at this stage, that will take time and be the work of war historians and journalists. I think Putin has decided that the prize is worth it, and is absorbing losses because that's the only thing they know how to do. But, can they win with that strategy? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SheltiePimp: Originally Posted By NunyaBidness: That's my sense as well.

It amazes me to say this, but that Bayraktar drone is probably going to be a game changer in this war. If they keep hammering the supply lines with those drones they're going to pull this off. An out of gas tank is better than a blown up tank because you get to keep it. A starving Russian child soldier is better than a dead one because you can call his momma and show her how well he's being treated.

From all appearances, the Ukranian command and control network is infinitely better than the Russian's Baofeng network. One has to wonder whether some of the materiel that was airlifted in the days before the invasion was encrypted satcom or HF/VHF/UHF to keep their forces in the loop, coordinate attacks, let their forces know when to pick up more weaponry, etc. It would seem the Russian side is far more haphazard about pretty much everything. |
