Dropping Iskander's onto your own villages is not a minor raid. The Russians are using them to knock out individual BMP's and Bradley's in this "minor" raid. Why Ukraine is doing this I have no idea because it is not going to end well. |

I would imagine Russian troops morale will be high defending Russian territory this might even get more support for the war. What about that north Korean defense pact?
Either way interesting to watch from so far away glad I got nobody in Either of those places. |

Fuck Russia. The obvious goal with these cross border raids is to force Russia to stretch already thin resources to secure the thousands of miles of border nowhere near the front line. If the Russian citizenry gets feel what it's like to be invaded, even if only for a little while, so much the better. I hope the burn the shit out of every square km they walk through, praise be upon Sherman. |

The best defense is a good offense. Its about time they got off their asses and used some of that military aid to good effect. Now, if you really mean it, keep pushing.

View Quote Can't collapse if they weren't even really there. Sounds like Russia hardly had any defenses or units in place, thinking Ukraine wouldn't have the balls and manpower to make a bigger incursion into Russia than they did before. From what I can read, this is at a minimum a loud sharp bitchslap back at the Russians, with potential to be an actual significant punch. |

So this could develop into a significant blow to their finances. Also there's the nuclear power plant that the Ukrainian offensive is approaching. View Quote OOFF,,, I'm sure a couple large bricks of C4(or "Z4 " as russians call it) would do BAD things to a gas pipeline if said town was under attack, and id imagine that would be some serious lost income for a couple years while pipeline was patched in a war zone... |

It’s definitely changes the dynamic and also puts some negotiating power in the hands of Ukraine. Just playing defense will not win this for them.
Hopefully they can hold it and take more. But I also This could just lead to more attacks on civilians and Russian launching massive missile attacks on populated areas. |

I don’t see follows up posts with the posters suggestions for ending the war other than “surrender to Russia”. Correct me if I’m assuming here, but is your idea of “stopping the war” surrender to Russia? Is that the only idea out there to “stop the war”? |
