Can someone tell me what munition that was at 1:06? Some kind of EFP missile or artillery round. Seem to be a very strange and dangerous deployment of such munition right above your own tank.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By iggy1337: As we near page 4000 of a 3 page war I want to once more thank the posters that make this tread the go to news source. I firmly am of the opinion that this is the big one in determining the world order for the next 50 or 100 years. When the Ukrainians halted Russian expansion they sent a message to all the despots and shitholes that pine for a old timey wars of conquest. China, Iran ect would have been hugely embolded to play fuck fuck games on the world stage. India and it's new found cock sucking anti Western media also seemed to forget that actual Indian people do best when functioning in western societies, and life in that sewer masqerading as country will forever remain shit for the large as long as they stick with their toxic commie like culture and superstitions Russia has proven themsleves the AIDS of the international comunity. In the end once more the Russian people's actual enemy is the Russian.gov, they had the oppertunity to not go in with the tarded cult of personality redux but for some reason it was like a moth to a flame. So once more a big thanks to the contributers here and that make this tread a must visit for daily updates. The wide variaty of sources posted and analysis of what's going on are unmached by any media outlet IMO (If I'm leaving anybody out sry, off the top of my head and random order): @AlmightyTallest @Prime @m35ben @Fadesun @Easterner @Ryan_Ruck @ArmyInfantryVet @Capta @AROKIE @MelGibsonEnthusiast @ITCHY-FINGER @Swede1986 @ludder093 @dillydilly @gentlemanfarmer @Lorazepam @Ryan_Scott @CPT_CAVEMAN @GTLandser Here here!!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HIPPO: ”The ground in Ukraine is still boggy and wet. In some places, there are still large lakes in the fields. The conditions for a comprehensive offensive have not yet been in place in recent weeks," German Inspector General Breuer told Deutsche Presse-Agentur in Berlin after a visit to Ukraine. "However, it became clear to me in all the talks that planning for the Ukrainian offensive is underway." For what it is worth. The weather sets the timetable for the offensive - Peter Zeihan |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Little bit different because the logistics situation was a lot more inconvenient for the British. The Russians are right next door and can make problems almost any time they like. Yes but conversely the British Navy blockaded the Colonies who relied on imports and trade for many essential things. Ukraine has the opposite with everything they want and need on their relatively secure and safe Western border. And England didnt have nukes back in the 18th century so it's not a perfect analogy. |

The machines become faster, fly higher and have weapons more terrible, but the men fly them are the same, fearless, brash, arrogant and perfectly fine knowing that either they or their opponent is going to die. That was exactly my impression. I pray we are giving Ukraine something to improve the odds for their pilots. Very brave to go up when the enemy can target you at 60 km and you can only get 20km. I can see him sitting in the cockpit of a WW2 spitfire fighting for England. He nailed the jacket/sweater in the second photo, that's the OG look. Dude has to be pulling tail. Lol you know he's stacked deep with tail. I also bet he never has to buy a drink at the bar on his day off, if he gets one lol |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Originally Posted By OBird: They are losing by almost any rational metric, but I sincerely doubt it’ll be over any time soon. If Putin crosses the line of declaring war and full mobilization (as opposed to his “SMO” and “partial” mobilizations), AND just tries to hold what they already have … that’s a lot of meat for the meat grinder, even if your tanks and cruise missiles are severely depleted. It could drag out for quite a while. But we shall see I guess. The coming counteroffensive (and how it goes) will give us a better idea of where things stand in the coming months. This is a war of independence like the American Revolution. Ukraine doesnt have to destroy Russia any more than the USA had to destroy England and put 'ol King George in irons. (granted the Brits burned the WH in 1812 so...) Just getting Russia to GTFO will be a victory and that could happen relatively quick. Or could take several more years. But I doubt Russia can drag this out for much more than a year. "when it happens it will be quick so stay close" Riddick Little bit different because the logistics situation was a lot more inconvenient for the British. The Russians are right next door and can make problems almost any time they like. That is the crazy part of this war. Russia only has to transport 100km into Ukraine and they are struggling. The US can project a better combined force12,000 miles. Maybe Ukraine should make it easier on Putin and move the front line closer to Moscow. |

Denys Davydov said something interesting on youtube today. The commander of the Ukrainian Army has regular zoom meetings with his Nato counterparts. He canceled today and said he didn't have time. That might be a clue something is imminent in the works.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: Yeah it looks like Russia is digging multiple trench lines not as defense in depth but as fall back positions. But once a breach is made there won’t be much falling back and the thinly manned or vacant rear trenches will be breached even more rapidly.

I think another factor is that if the west is weak in supporting Ukraine right next door, it will signal to China that it will be even weaker supporting Taiwan. A strong decisive support for Ukraine might help deter China from adventuring. |
