Videos and Media Reportedly Documenting the Losses of Dozens of Armored Fighting Vehicles of the Russian Pacific Fleets 155th Naval Infantry.

Worst thing for the Russians is that even if this attack had been successful after those losses, they would've gained a mile or less of ground and then probably been thrown back in the inevitable counterattack.

Looks like Wagner will no longer be recruiting prisoners for their penal battalions. Not only has recruitment dried up, apparently stating 15% casualties but actually suffering 80% casualties put many prisoners off on potential service, but later Wagner was trying to forcibly coerce prisoners into service.



NO MORE. Now they can serve in Russian Penal Battalions which the government assures will offer far better and professional treatment of their penal troops.

Russia is allegedly draining the massive Kakhovka Resevoir as according to satellite imagery providing by commercial companies like Maxar, the Reservoir located near the seized Ukrainian Nuclear Plant has dropped to its lowest level in three decades. The Reservoir is used for drinking water, irrigation and for cooling at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Planet. The IAEA states they are aware of the situation. The Russians have already topped off the reservoirs located in Crimea with water diverted from the Kakhovka Reservoir but apparently still opened a couple sluice gates on the part of the dam they control to let the water rush out.

Considering they've been too chickenshit to send anything into Ukraine for a while now, I'm kind of curious what they have planned. I'm kind of hoping Ukraine manages to blow it all up on the ground, though.

Bruh I feel like we're gonna see the first historical instance of a mass air getting absolutely shit stomped by anti air.

Lose 100 vehicles in the south for no gain last week. Lose 2 weeks worth of progress trying to push the UAF out of Bakhmut this week. Operation Bagration this ain't...

 

[Scooby Doo]

Russia should call it quits and tag team North Korea in.

Two weeks of lost progress in one picture...

 

[Rukatin]

Still a deadlock at the front line
Where the soldiers die in mud
Roads and houses since long gone
Still no glory has been won
Know that many men has suffered
Know that many men has died
Six miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And as the men crawled the general called
And the killing carried on and on
How long?
What's the purpose of it all?
What's the price of a mile?

1. Soviet Union had a lot of its industry in parts that aren't part of Russia anymore.

2. The economic collapse and de industrialization after the fall of the USSR was apocalyptic in all ways from the loss of physical infrastructure to the loss of the skill and knowledge base.

3. The war was supposed to last three days to two weeks at most in the Kremlin's estimations. Everyone's stockpiles are being drained at an impressive rate and aside from China if they went after Taiwan maybe, no one has the industry to replenish those stockpiles in any reasonable time.

Agree on all those points.

Chinese Sidenote: Bad thing for the CCP vs USA is that we're getting to ramp up our production numbers PRIOR to China getting froggy on Taiwan.

And the "West" in general is clearing out warehouses and will/should start making new kit.
