Currently, the VDV is being rushed around to reinforce tough sectors, to the point that they're pretty much breaking their backs in efforts to keep Russia in this war. What we've seen at Avdiivka and elsewhere is what happens when one sends subpar troops with subpar equipment to attack an entrenched, motivated defender. This is why credible people have been saying for quite some time that the Russian Army's offensive capacity is absolutely shot, at least until they implement another round of large scale mobilization. |

It's a heavy bitch, so I'd rather shoot it as first pictured. Too bad we don't have a Hilux.... Gotcha! I thought it might be something like a French AA-52 or such that doesn't lend itself to dismounted firing. |

Look at Ruth badger Ginsburg, Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, Robert Byrd. They die in office. The trappings of power have more draw than retirement to some island paradise with their stolen millions. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MwoodsKC: I found myself wondering if Putin *might* allow himself to lose the upcoming election in order to get himself out of the mess he created? I don't know how realistic of a scenario that would be, but it entered my mind. I think it’s more accurate to say that this could be a mechanism to get *Russia* out of this mess. But Putin holds such power that even if the electorate GENUINELY voted him out (highly unlikely) he’d win anyway. And if Putin loses power because of a fair election, you can guarantee the next Russian government will hand him over to the EU for trial as a war criminal. Putin isn’t going to allow that. The most realistic positive outcome for Russia is to depose Putin, withdraw from Ukraine while mumbling an apology, and shoot Putin and blame literally everything on him. Then clam up and sell gas. This ends with Putin dead one way or another and Putin isn’t going to allow that. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/203719/IMG_3792-2986948.jpg Uralvagonzavod celebrated its 87th anniversary and handed over another batch of armored vehicles to the troops The Russian Armed Forces received from tank builders new T-90M Proryv, as well as T-72B3M with additional protection. “The UVZ team provides our Armed Forces with modern and reliable armored vehicles, demonstrating high-quality and rhythmic execution of state defense orders. In this case, we are talking about the most popular models - the T-90M “Proryv” and T-72B3M, which have proven themselves well in the air defense zone. I would also like to note the work of the company’s designers and engineers, who continue to improve armored vehicles taking into account the experience of their combat use. It is this work that helps our military personnel successfully fulfill all the tasks assigned to them,” noted Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation - Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov. Special equipment was loaded for the first time onto a flat car model 13-192-01, developed by the Ural Carriage Design Bureau and manufactured at Uralvagonzavod. Despite the special tasks assigned to the staff of the Nizhny Tagil enterprise in the conditions of the Northern Military District, the production of freight cars continues. The flat car 13-192-01 is the main rolling stock product in UVZ’s order portfolio. It is universal, but was primarily developed for transporting heavy tracked and wheeled military equipment. “Today, UVZ is once again entrusted with the mission of protecting and upholding the interests of the state. Car assemblers, metallurgists, toolmakers and other workshops and services work towards one common goal - providing our military with modern combat vehicles. The great history of Uralvagonzavod, responsibility for the future of the country and new generations of Russians motivate workers to the same labor feat that their grandfathers and great-grandfathers once accomplished. And this feat, I am sure, will be written in golden letters in the annals of Uralvagonzavod,” noted Alexander Potapov, General Director of Uralvagonzavod Concern JSC. https://t.me/uvznews/2532 https://t.me/Ugolok_Sitha/16791 Such a pretty tank. Shame it'll get destroyed |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Saltwater-Hillbilly: I think Bibi is pretty much through with Putin at this point. I wouldn't be stunned to see a lot more Israeli-sourced stuff showing up in Ukraine after this, as it is a way for Israel to send a serious message to Russia quick/fast/and in a hurry. It also may help him to deflect some blame (if that is even possible given the metrics of Israeli politics) if he can convincingly show that Russia directly or indirectly supported Hamas. I doubt the old babushkas who have been lapping up Russian-language Kremlin propaganda are going to be amused at the Russian response to date, which gives Bibi a major opening given how much revenge is a motivator in the Russian psyche. This seems to be another case where the Ruskies rolled the iron dice without thinking the 2nd- and 3rd-order effects through. The sheer heavy-handedness and incompetence of the Russians appears to equal if not exceed the actions of Wilhelmite Germany before and during WWI.

Some, even a lot of what they’re doing makes sense if you only consider their immediate short term interest. The coup in Niger is a good example. Step 1: Seize power in Niger where France gets much of their nuclear material for their economy, and which allows them to export excess power. Step 2: Blackmail Europe. Step 3: PROFIT! This is consistent with their short-term thinking, but so profoundly stupid that it defies explanation. They’re not using coercion to steer behavior in the direction they want, there’re forcing a response that they aren’t going to like. |

As I had said, Avdiiva/Donetsk has been on the front line since 2014 and is one of the hardest fronts anywhere, probably harder than the Korean DMZ. I don't rate either side's chances to cross that line successfully. At least Ukraine isn't stupid enough to try. Avdiivka has been a salient sticking out toward Donetsk city. Russia would LOVE to close the salient and finally take Avdiivka. They also want to pressure Ukraine to withdraw troops & reinforcements from other fronts to take the pressure off of the offensive actions at Robotyne axis. |

I don't know about being harder than the Korean DMZ, but it's definitely a hard nut to crack, to be sure. It looks like the Russians tried to pull off a dual thrust on either side of the salient simultaneously. In other words, two combined arms breaches at the same time. Against defenses as sturdy as those around Avdiivka (which was on the pre-war JFO line for years), that's going to be a hard task for any military, let alone the Russian military in the latter half of 2023. |

All that, and importantly their rate of artillery fire has just fallen below UA overall (7k vs 8k per day) while their domestic replenishment is only 4.1k/day. What artillery they do have is often shorter range and worn barrels. Without overwhelming artillery fires they won’t be making any headway on assaults. |

The United States today announced a new $200 million military aid package to Ukraine, which includes:
- countermeasures equipment drones (c-UAS); - ammunition for "Himars"; - artillery shells of 155 mm and 105 mm caliber; - high-precision aviation ammunition; - electronic warfare equipment; - anti-tank guided TOW missiles; - AT-4 anti-tank grenade launchers; - small arms and more than 16 millions of cartridges for it; - engineering ammunition for overcoming obstacles; - spare parts, training equipment, technical and other equipment; - and the most interesting thing is that the list also includes the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. Informant https://t.me/infomil_live/746 🇪🇺The EU plans to allocate EUR4.5 billion to Ukraine by the end of 2023, - European Commissioner Gentiloni "In general, the progress is very good, and I am optimistic about the prospects that Ukraine will fulfill all the conditions until the end of 2024 and beyond," he said on Wednesday at the 4th meeting of the round table of ministers on support for Ukraine within the framework of the meetings of the IMF and the World bank (SB) in Marrakesh. According to him, the EU and other international partners should be proud of the fact that they contributed to covering the financing deficit for Ukraine both last year and this year, and thanks to this solidarity, Ukraine's economy is in better shape today than many expected. https://t.me/operativnoZSU/118612

Israeli joke. What do Israeli mobilization and Russian mobilization have in common? Both of them cause a lot of young men get on a plane and fly to Israel. |

Wagner seems like decent assault troops for attacking civilians in towns and villages mostly unarmed. I imagine the HAMAS terrorist felt they were quite the alpha team doing that. But as in Ukraine, when they faced determined fighters the best tactic they have is to die in meat assaults or retreat. Once Prighosin ran out of convict meat sacks he didn’t want to play much longer.
And now Israel has devastating air dominance. Did Wagner cover that? Did they demonstrate how to cower and die from Apaches as they did in Syria?

Advancing across fields without their own artillery prep or cover, sometimes in column. Russian command is out of ideas and out of artillery. They must be in a total panic about the breach in the south to execute such an insane diversionary assault in the East. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: ALL BIG NUMBERS AGAIN!! BIG! https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/494438/IMG_4251-2988024.jpg I wonder if we’re watching the new 25th Combined Arms Army being wrecked? People might remember that during Kharkiv there was a lot of chatter about the new 3rd Army Corps. As it turned out there were probably committed to stop the offensive right off the train and were wiped out and/or evaporated Now maybe Russia is throwing another new major formation, that isn’t ready to fight, into the woodchipper. The combined number since the 8th are like 300% worse than Vuhledar. |

As horrible as both situations are, it’s been heartening in a lot of ways. Men are still willing to stand up and be counted no matter the cost. |

“It’s very hot” - the head of the Avdeevka GVA about the situation in the city
“The most massive offensive in the Avdiivka direction since the beginning of a full-scale war,” said Vitaly Barabash. According to him, the Russians are trying to simultaneously attack in 10-12 directions. This happens with the support of aviation. “It is estimated that more than 23 missiles flew into the community in just one day. There are arrivals at high-rise buildings,” added Barabash. https://t.me/Pravda_Gerashchenko/81087 |

Schmidt & Bender
 Marksmen are infantry snipers. The most professional shooters of their squads, who must be able to shoot quickly and accurately, providing support to their brothers-in-arms. The first groups of our newly trained Marxmen have already set off to carry out combat missions and we can show some footage from their preparatory course. Our Marksmen have .308 caliber rifles at their disposal - Remington 700, M1A SOCOM II. But the guys are trained to shoot with everything that shoots, so that, if necessary, they can continue the battle with whatever comes to hand (read: with whatever they take off the enemy). ▪️The Legion is a place of opportunity!) If you want to be an artilleryman, if you want to be a sniper, if you want to be an attack aircraft. Application here: t.me/lsr_official_bot For Russia!
