Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022



Well at least we didn't send her to help Kamala out; she recommends a 'no-fly-zone' and shooting down Russian planes, without seeming to get that this is how WW3 could easily start.

The GOP warhawks and neocons may be the death of this nation, if fools like her get their way.
 
To those rootin for Putin.......



Best investigate better the side you are backing.


I wish Karl would stick to stuff he understands.
How about if you post a tweet. Post the English translation. We can't read that shit.
It is
Code:
Current year
Use Google Translate, or whatever MS had, or Yandex!

TL;DR it says, these EW systems are a problem, prioritize taking them out, you will be doing our troops a big favor so that we can win the war, blah, blah, blah.
 
Funny funny.



It seems I was right about the maturnity hospital being turned into a Azov position after they kicked out the women and hospital staff.

You are literally posting a twitter thread from a Russian Bot and trying to call it evidence... :LOL:

Which is especially hilarious given there's direct photographic and video evidence the Russian Bot's claims are false.

The Maternity House of Kiev.

Sure, sure, keep eating up Uki propaganda.

I did not see any wounds, bruising, blood, etc, in that video, we had people standing in front of a bombed out building and no graves or corpses.

More staged shit.
 
Seems like there's been a turn of events:


I wonder if Zelensky is trying to forestall the final assault or if he's signaling to Moscow that he's willing to negotiate. If it's the latter, it might be that the truth of the situation has finally sunk in and he's willing to make terms with Moscow. Probably in return for sparing him and his administration.

If that happens, Biden and many Western leaders are going to look really, really stupid. And Russia will have lots and lots of NATO weapon systems (and Ukrainian-Western trained officers) they can now draw upon.
Hasn't Russia been saying that they don't want regime change? Just recognition of the independence of their puppet states and Crimea joining Russia? Well that and a neutralized Ukraine, non-aligned and demilitarized.

In fairness, the Ukrainians appear to be using residential buildings, schools, and other facilities to shelter, launch attackers, or use as bases. One can hardly blame the Russians for blowing the crap out of them. I realize that may not be something that was top-down ordered and so Ukraine itself might have a legitimate grievance, but that's what the UKA is doing. It's fair game for the Russians to blow the shit out of them.



Moving quickly to inflict de bellatio.



A tangent admission that these are affecting UkA operations.


Not to be rude, but are you Russian by chance?
 
Another yon Unverified Twitter Sperg.

Overhead pictures of Mariupol reportedly showing before and after pictures of that cities commercial district after Russian shelling.



Two days ago it looks like TASS, a Russian News Service in partnership with Reuters, fed Reuters fake informations that Reuters later reported on. Reuters has since deleted the relevant tweets and other related material.



Someone posted an alleged tally of Russian missile strikes in Ukraine, as according to a "US Official."



Attempted disarming of Russian munitions in Chernihiv.



A Chechen OMON Officer located somewhere in Ukraine.



OMON Riot Police have been referenced as being spotted in occupied Ukrainian cities.

Looks like Russia finally admitted Conscripts are serving in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine in spite of previous denials of reality by Vladimir Putin and others up to this point.

 
Tanks are definitely AFVs and classed as such.

As for photos, we seen destroyed Tanks that had clearly been hit in the side in ambushes at close range. We also see large numbers of Tanks with the cages showing visible marks of battle and scorching but still operating.

Frankly there is not enough data and too much survivor bias to come to any conclusions. As it stands, the UkA is still unable to take the initiative and is being destroyed at an unsustainable rate in local counter-attacks. Zelensky knows this, knows he is fucked, but is backed into a noose of his own making.

At the end of the day, the Operationally Reality is once the Chenobyl Chokepoint was breached, the UkA lost any hope of forming Corps level counter-attack formations that could prevent the pocketing of the Northeast Units and allow the extrication of the Kharkiv and Donbas Fronts to form Army level counter-attack units.

Russians were willing to accept high losses in the breach phase to pull this off, and in the long run as the pockets in the Northeast throw in the towel, fewer folks on both sides will die, and they get all their abandoned gear and more back.

But given you still confuse fighting a 3rd world militia as indicative of how mass maneuver warfare is fought between industrial states, I don't hold out hope for you.
Can you show me the pictures of Cope cage tanks that have scorch marks on the top and a damaged cage?
And we have seen plenty if cope cage tanks woth comepeltlydedtroyed turrets.
And as Huskt Khan says below
I haven't heard any US Military estimates. Only estimate I've seen is this one:




Just estimates on armored vehicles.

So the estimates in this thread so far are between 6% to 93%!

Of course it's being reported in some media as a 93% kill rate of Russian tanks. Who needs context? :p
Definitely gonna trust anything NOT Russian.
Because Russian gonna make it seem like they arnt good, and Ukraine probablyhiding for OPSEC reasons.
So yeah, 93%


More talk on the cages:

1. RPGs are the most common threat based on real world experience

2. 82mm mortars if they hit the top of a tank can ruin its day and this is protection from that. Ordinance from smaller drones as well can be shielded from.

3. Extra stowage

4. Camouflage including thermal masking camouflage can cause an infrared guided ATGM to go for the engine block instead of the crew compartment.

I disagree on it being useless against a tandem Javelin. If the first warhead detonates on the screen, there is a chance it can cause the impact angle to change as well and that can mean the difference between a destroyed tank or a damaged tank or the second and main warhead missing the tank entirely. The Russian have no doubt tested this theory with their own ATGMs.

The US have also tested it.
We have shown more that it doesn't work.

So far, there has not been a single tale of Russian tanks surviving Javelins.
If there was they woul be shooting from the tree tops.
The Jave is the single best Anti Tank weapon in the world as no tank can survive a 700+ RHA penettating HEAT warhead to the top.

If ERA doesn't stir it off course when it is used against that, it won't be disturbed by a cage
 
Kinda surprised they didn't try sticking ERA blocks on the slats too; that might have actually had a meaningful effect.

Then again ERA is expensive and I doubt Russia/Putin was willing to waste the money on a slim, marginal gain in survivability.

Yeah, very boomery with those flags on their car, and synchronized dance does tend to look fairly corny. At least not as cringe as leftist twitter.

But yeah, seems a good video of a side of the war we don't see. Not sure why it would be persuasive one way or the other. Annoyed you beat me to posting it! 😉

Because it would not do anything.
The metal is to spread out to be effective

Really, even if the ERA blocks are on top of the slats?

I mean I still think it would have been too expensive for the marginal survivability gain, but those slats look close enough together to mount ERA on.

Mounting it would be a pain because they would basically be ziptied and stuff. Not mounted how they normally would
