That's beside the point. Countermeasures were missing. RPGs, NLAWs could have been intercepted by an APS.Regular wrote:Can I ask you how do you know what tank was destroyed by what system? It's not like they take pictures of entry points and etc. So far video evidence shows Ukraine still using RPG-26, Shershen, Corsair, Rpg-7 against Russian tanks. NLAWs could be seen too, but not in action.

Well, we are seeing mostly very old tanks in use, apart from few T-72B3 versions. APS would be nice, but they have what they have. Ukrainians are also don't have any APS systems deployed so it seems

Meaning the Russian military leadership decided to deploy tanks, IFVs in an urban setting without learning any lesson from the war in Iraq where the US lost hundreds of tanks in cities. Most of these tanks were destroyed by the rag tag Iraqi army leftovers using RPGs and IEDs.Regular wrote:Well, we are seeing mostly very old tanks in use, apart from few T-72B3 versions.

I think they just keep the modern stuff away from battlefields so NATO can not analyze their combat performance. There will be sooner or later confrontation with PONOS (Pact of Nato Offensive Satellites) that will be subject to T-90s and T-14's.
BTW this 9 May will be probably good with trophies from the fascists. I really hope they will present them that will boost the moral and show they did something to the average guy.

The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the militants of the Azov battalion, are preparing a provocation with possible radioactive contamination of the area in the Kharkiv region. Nationalists have mined a reactor at an experimental nuclear installation located at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. The SBU and the militants of the Azov battalion plan to blow up the reactor and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly launching a missile attack on an experimental nuclear installation. - MOD of Russian Federation

They haven't assaulted any city just yet to my knowledge so we can't really conclude that.Sujoy wrote:

We can say the Russians are one step ahead of the Americans though since by drawing out the vast majority of Ukraine's combat power out in the East where they are unwelcome at best, there is little chance of any of those forces successfully melting away with the local population to have another go at an insurgency.
Any mercenaries captured have no POW status. If the Russians were so inclined, they can summarily execute them on the spot.Sujoy wrote:

Apparently Ukrainian Railways are running almost normally over much of the country and are planning to shift exports goods to rail into the EU rather than by ships. Good luck with the EU customs documentation on that

I propose that any soldier using civilians as a human shield in combat should instantly loose his/her POW status.

Russia does not strike at bridges. An advancing army doesn't destroy the roads in front of it, you know. Ukrainians blow up all bridges.

You are probably right. I’m reading several accounts of people where they are making exactly this same point that Russia has mostly deployed obsolete weapons.Werewolf wrote:I think they just keep the modern stuff away from battlefields so NATO can not analyze their combat performance. There will be sooner or later confrontation with PONOS (Pact of Nato Offensive Satellites) that will be subject to T-90s and T-14's.
My point is, even if these obsolete T-72 and other Russian heavy armour is targeted Russia is still losing precious lives, 400+ by their own count. That’s why there was no need to send in tanks, IFVs etc. In any case the Russian army is trying to carry out precision strikes on Nazis. In these scenarios MBTs, IFVs hardly serve any purpose.
Infantry, combined with armed drones, Iskander and Kalibr would have served the purpose.
There are already pictures of Russian T-72 in city centers. Check previous threads on this same subject. And even those that are on the outskirts of the cities are still extremely vulnerable to ATGMs/RPGs and IEDs. Unlike Serbia, Ukraine is completely flat much like Iraq. So heavy armour is easy target.lyle6 wrote:They haven't assaulted any city just yet to my knowledge so we can't really conclude that.
My point was Western army regulars are guiding the Ukranian Nazis. That’s the reason why they are embedded with the Ukranian military. They are helping the Ukranian in spotting and targeting Russian forces.lyle6 wrote:Any mercenaries captured have no POW status. If the Russians were so inclined, they can summarily execute them on the spot.
The killing of major general Andrey Sukhovetsky is a classic example. For a bunch of unmotivated, mediocre Nazis it is impossible to precisely spot a major general and eliminate him, unless of course these Nazis are being hand held by professionals like western army regulars.
As an aside, I also suspect that Russian PoWs must have been executed by these same bunch of Westerners.
No I think 20+ T-14s wouldn’t have been finished by now.Mir wrote:So you think 20+ T-14's should have finished the job by now?

Remember 2008? Russia destroyed the NATO approved georgian forces in 72 hours. Good work. Russian military: 
We need new equipment. Then the re-armament program started. This conflict will lead to something similar. Well, most of the new stuff is already in testing or inital production, including stuff to better protect convoys/rear services like the Tornado family of armored truck, Gibka-S or the security vehicle based on the Kamaz--VDV. But they couldn´t wait another 2 or 3 years until all of this is ready or available in larger numbers.
My guesses:
acceleration of the Tornado program
acceleration of the drone and robot programs (some of the robots are still to unreliable to be used in such a conflict), priority should be long-range recon/attack drone and a heavy heli drone, at best with the same weapons carrying capability (up to 16 ATGM´s) of the current assault helis
acceleration of some AD systems, mostly Gibka-S, Sosna/Ptitselov and Pantsir-SM-SV, the MoD should also buy some Tor systems based on Kamaz truck, because they can better keep up with convoys.

First they will need to find and fired those corrupted military that **** up. Too much of weapon destroyed or abondoned and supply suffered too much too.
They also clearly under used cheap tactical drones and suicide drones. Instead they over used kalibr and iskanders. I guess a less expensive and advanced but cheaper ballistic missile would have done the same damages. Islander is too much advanced for nothing since ukrainians have nothing to intercept such missiles.
The use of the air force is also shitty. Even though they face a lot of deadly systems they should use it at least above the ground they control. Kh-38 and kh-25 have enough stand off ranges to be safe from any ukrainian AD there.
Tactical recco pods and assets need to be upgraded as well as their night fighting tools. The ukrainians operating outside of the cities should be detected quickly by drones and artillery coordinated to strike them.
Coordination between the soldiers and the HQ seem terrible as well.
They have a lot to work on and not just buy new stuff.

You are aware that Ukraine is rather large?
The Su-34 has imaging structure that's rather good. IR/NV. Their drones are thermal imaging. Ground units in special forces have thermal images. Regular troops have standard NV.
So what do you expect? Cameras on every block?
I never fought a war but neither have you. I'm lucky in the sense that I speak to those who have and some family who have too.
They would tell you the same thing.
I think only one you are correct on, is guided munitions for the planes. The Su-34's seem to be dropping unguided rounds. Su-30's and 35's seem to be using guided.

Another Su-34 brought down.

It's Red-06. Hope pilots and co-pilots are fine.

Yeah.
Planes are easily replaceable, pilots not.
Maybe they need to start flying higher now those Su-34's.

Was asking good measures against optical tracking noone could say
I think these missions should be supported by high flying aircraft farther away ready to respond and provide CAS for pilot
Strelkov I think is wrong in his assessment, Russian troops are needed for NATO.
So the forces are good, with rosgvardiya in the rear its fine
They need to adjust tactics not strategy, overall strategy is good
We see tactical losses
