And given that the materiel from North Korea is, well, crap, with many shells being unusable... yeah.

Hey now, best Korea makes the best stuff duh.
Better and more masculine then western stuff!
Inshallah, God Willing This Will Come to Pass and Transnistria will be liberated, from the river to the sea!?
Don't.... Don't give me hope...
The only thing preventing this from happening is the fact there are only five thousand troops in Transnistria, plus a thousand Russian troops, who haven't been reliably rotated out or resupplied for two years (not sure why) and supported by a hollowed out Airborne/VDV Corps, depleted Naval Infantry Brigades and a Black Seas Fleet which has lost close to half of its amphibious ships. And the lack of natural terrain barriers between Transnistria and Ukraine... and one major bridge crossing the span that unites both halfs of the failed fake state.
Against this, all Ukraine can muster is like four brigades worth of veteran troops (20,000 troops) plus Territorials, Border Guards, other randos and the Ghost of Kyiv.
Sometimes the audacity to do the unthinkable is exactly what is needed.

Why, to steal our women, of course!
What I find interesting is that the map used is Ukrainian.

Well, if the west supplies 150,000 shells with a failure rate of 5% and N. Korea supplies 3 million shells with a failure rate of 30% who comes out on top?

Funny, because today, said side is clearly winning. Maybe something is wrong with your side's propaganda?
Depends on how many guns, friendlies and artillery crew members the failed shells take with themselves.
It's from a parody account I suspect unlike most of the folx in the replies.

given that russian IDF dominance is increasing, I suspect that isnt a big problem.
From what I understand, the inconsistent loads of the north Koreans were higher then 30% woth 30 being duds but could be wrong..that means they either over shoot or under shoot.
And lol "winning" is losing 600 plus vehicles and 30k KIA and morebWIA in a single battle

Continue to drink in your little propaganda, the reality of the frontlines don't care about your little dreams.
Scintillating conversation and analysis.

Out of everyone here, I know the most about this conflict.
It is not going to be over quick is all you need to know.
For either side

On that, we are in agreement.
This is only going to end when the US - like in many other conflicts - throws the towel to the ground and invents some lame excuses to withdraw.
Ah so you admit any excuse to abandon Ukraine would be lame.
Thus the inverse regarding supporting Ukraine is true!
Concession accepted!

I don't pretend to know the most about this conflict. Not by a long shot.
But out of everyone here, I certainly do know -- being, after all, an academic -- the very most about useless codswallop and self-important bloviation.
And I tell you: there's an ungodly amount of it going around in this thread. Coming from practically all directions, too!

My rhetorical victories in this thread are worth a thousand Kinzahls.
