This is a commander and his comms guy (don't know military term) who in the past would have had a radio back pack and a whip aerial and now has a tablet and a couple of mobile phone like devices.

SORRY, IGNORE THE FIRST VIDEO, DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE

Those small devices could be either small range radios or small interceptor devices. We used small ones like these for intercepting and short range jamming (2km) we also used small radios similar to these but this would be strapped to your left or right on Ur chest. So makes me think these are short range jamming or interceptors. The pad could me used for mapping. Another reason could be using different radios for different lines of Comms, one could be for medivac, armour or engineers, it saves you changing channels and stops clogging up on the channel,combat troops making Comms between themselves don't want the line being clogged up with medivac or engineer chat. Our captain would walk around with three radios of this size.

Back in 1999 the Serbs had only older systems, NATO aircraft flew above 8.000 or even 10.000 metres. Either out of range of most systems or the missiles needed to much time to reach that height and couldn´t maneuver rapidly.

Are the soldiers in those twitter vids Russian? Is the destroyed equipment russian?

They clearly need more drones to hunt AD systems. It's not stingers but buk and Osa the main issue.

confirmed by who?  Can we get links?

There are pictures of them on twitter. You can easily find them. But it is russian ones for sure.

Buks are very effective.

You guys were assuring me that all Ukrainian AD systems other than man pads were suppressed or destroyed.

How many operational buks did Ukraine even have.

Why aren't they being jammed?

WE did never say that, some delusional over selous fan that only know war from video games might have said that.
Those of us with military background understand that there are always hidden reserves, deceptive tactics, and that NOTHING in war is a sure thing.

And to all the equipment fanboys out there that know everything there is about you favorite system and going: REEEEEE why no use my favorite -insert favourit hardwhare- REEEEEEEE.
Imagine this, maybe they are very rare!! Just because you saw them in a cool action video on youtube, or some video from the russian MOD using them in syria, or read a semi fake article on sputnik does not mean that every grunt in the russian army or not even every brigade have all the latest equipment. Or maybe it is just entered service and not enough operators are around, or maybe the doctrines for how to use them are still worked on. These processes takes many years.
For god's sake I saw someone asking why they were using Armatas yet....
The russian army is still winning, and the commanders that are commanding the units on the ground know better what they are doing then this whole forum combined. They have dedicated a career to doing what they do.
Remember it is very easy to win a TV football match from the sofa. And that there are almost 200.000 people involved in the operation, in a country that is as large as Germany and Poland combined. Fighting the first real war with real armies with similar technology and training since the second world war (sorry falklands/malvinas I won't count you, you were to small)
There will be hiccup's, or to use the military word for it, friction. It is the nature of any war.

Still this is infuriating as hell to watch , I dont understand why, civilians are one thing, bombing the damn combatants are another, they have precision weapons, but they are not used.

Where are the Lancets?

Guys are killed and even if they are troops they are worth more than these people who did not do shit to prevent nazism in their country

So if you were in charge, and the guys had "more support" from your end, and they still died, then what?

There are claims made yesterday that alleged that Putin openly stated that "Russians and Ukrainians are one people."

With this attitude he will destroy the conventional Russian armed forces.

I do not even think that ethnic Ukrainians are even Slavs, and compare this to Putin's spread of hatred against the genuinely Slavic Poles.

As a Polish person I am disgusted with such behavior.

That guy is nuts, he might soon seriously antagonize his own ally Kadyrov.


It is Putin who gave Ukraine lots of free money and free natural gas since that country became openly hostile in 2014.

Now look at the results.

You are a retard.

Let adults talk.

I don't blame actual soldiers and people with experience who are dropping from posting on this shit site.  When it's being more or less controlled by you people.

Can we get some further details about the isolated red area to the West of Ossetia? If I may guess, I would say Russian paratroopers secured parts of the Ukrainian border next to Nato-member Romania in order to start cutting off military supplies into Ukraine. Or does it mean something else? I fear that fights taking place near Nato-borders might become dangerous in this escalation.
