Russian special military operation in Ukraine #5

Arkanghelsk wrote:Isos, why do you think troops are abandoning equipment?

Why are they advancing so far in the first place ?

Also is the drone issue a question of not having stocks? Or leadership is not utilizing such tools?

The 3 main tactical errors I see are not coordinated advances (troops moving so deep that they outrun the main force), lack of drones, and badly planned CAS missions

If those 3 things can be coordinated, then losses in tactical situation will be reduced

I'll repeat to you what I have already said, to you, a dozen times.

He isn't Russian military. None of us are.

We do not know what is actually happening. We know of losses because of what is shown. We know end results, because it's shown. But what we do not know is what is entirely used, and how often.  Russia has been rather tight lipped.  Example is timeline BS which was disproven by Lavrov himself.

People said Orion isn't used. Then we find out it is. That ways to uncover Ukrainian AD isn't used. Then we find out they used decoys.  Etc etc etc.

No one here has the exact knowledge.

We see a Su-34 destroyed. OK, we assume they are flying low due to some videos. Maybe not all of them are flying low. We see that other jets like Su-30 and 35 carry better weapons. Are all su34 carrying same? Don't know. If you do know, then you are lying. Everyone is.

These are examples. Hence why more smart and better informed members here are keeping mum and waiting for official results and info.

Something has been hit in the Black Sea. Ukrainians claiming it was a grad strike on vasiliy bykov

Yes, it's true,  we dont have complete picture

Nonetheless is good to discuss how to overcome tactical issues,  and minimize whatever losses do occur

It is. But at same time it's hard to get info.

For instance, I would say use more guided munitions and drop from much higher altitude. By time Buk system tries to reach Su-34, the Khabiny gets time to work. But when it flies high, it is susceptible to such long range high altitude weapons.

If They fly lownwith dumb bombs, they can destroy hardened targets and mass targets rather better than guided munitions, but you risk getting shot down via manpads and AA which are very effective.

So it's damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I would wager it's based upon the conflict. In this regard, Ukraine is indeed the most hardened country in AD and guided weapons in all of Europe. Add in armored as well. So something like this should be much more guided weapons than not. But once again, guided weapons work great but destruction potential is limited and works great to when you know where target is and it hasn't moved.

So the concept of using mini drones and decoys to trap AD are great and they can keep it up. But there is always a chance of a miss and that the planes flying in area may think it's safe when it isn't.

Pantsir is accompanying Russian convoys. Gibka-S will play more or less the same role.

What purpose will Tornado trucks serve? Instead the current set of Russian T-72, BMPs, BMDs BTRs need to be protected with Slat Armour and APS

This is why i love images , they can explain things better than a thousands of words..



albeit this is only just one of the many other criminal things happening in the western world order ,
is a good example of how ridiculous and brainwashed Ukrainians and europeans and most of the
world is. Most world population don't see a real  danger for their lives and future happening right
their face and not aware of it.


Anyone with artistic skills can do it even better.

The title should be..

Democracy and Freedom the West way    

-put another guy who refused the vaccines in a concentration camp (as happenig in australia).  

-Show canadian truckers losing their homes ,bank accouonts and trucks for protesting against manadatory vaccines.   wtf

-permanent lockdowns.. don't go outside , stay safe in home , too many viruses outside.

-show a family ,5 Eyes country and europe sign , demanding the forced change of gender of children.

- Show NATO arming alqaeda and isis , fighting terrorism ,by making them feel bored of so many killing.

-  freedom to steal sign up to $950 , you can steal anything from any small business if you feel
you need it.  Looting stores is ok with us.  

-Show the "world safe" with a NATO military base in every country of the world.
and with the warning.. is not what you think .

-another art with civilians going to shop with an electronic circuit in their heads telling their bank
account , the places they visit that day ,the things he told that day.

-another sign sayign ,, XX days until Absolute control protection of world population.

-XX  days until world population reduced by 90% with bill gates ,soros and rockefellers smile.


The anglo western order is trying to turn the planet  into a giant Concentration Camp and people
are worried by Russia fighting back at a failed puppet state under NATO control that are using Ukraine to damage Russia security ,economic interest and cause civil unrest.

So the Russian jet shot down over Kharkov yesterday was bombing the tank factory. It did a lot of damage but why the f*ck
is Russia not using missiles?

I thought Kharkov tank factory was in flames, or was it tractor factory? Hit by cruise missiles during early days

Azov nazis are posting destroyed russian equipment and tanks. By the looks of it they are fully stocked with Javelins and NLAWs. They will be hard nut to crack, knowing how close to civilians and infrastructure they are

Don't think Buk has any optical guidance whilst Tor has?

That was from the first day's action. First it was claimed as Russian but it turned out to be Ukraine.

Old picture. Reverse search it. Can't confirm about Mig-29 shot down, but most likely bs with rehashed picture. There shouldn't be any Migs left

I saw an ambush yesterday, but peculiar, Ukros filmed themselves shooting rpg at tanks, but no return fire, 

It seems lot of this is abandoned equipment , and Ukros filming propaganda 

So the equipment really is lost due to abandonment most times

https://t.me/conflictzone/20252

This video is propaganda, they "creep" on tanks and fire, and then film the after effect, no return fire or crew  seen

Most likely vehicles were abandoned

That conflictzone looks like Ukrainian propaganda.  Lots of thumbs up and likes for dead LDNR forces and fakes.

So I wouldn't take it at face value.

Edit: got to be. Mostly posting Ukrainian stuff.

Likely to be fake news or just trolling.

Grad strike on the ship? Let me wait for confirmation, sounds like bullshit.

Said it before, Russia using older armour without APS the simple solution is caged armour cheap and effective against RPG'S etc. That's all that needs to be done. On today's footage have seeing more more Tanks and BMP-2 use by Russia although didn't see any artillery or AD systems.

Russia had an immense amount of assets and cards to work with then, which obviously, throughout the years dwindled as the new regime made inroads and settled by taking them out. The coup was simply the first step in a much larger plan. You stop the game at the first step and you save yourself considerable trouble both in magnitude and recurrence. Instead of meeting a strong hand, it met a weak hand. The rest is history.

It did not happen and so you have this.

Stop talking BS. Nobody cares about attempts to bend narratives to form some type of cohesion in your own head about the flow of events. That goes for all the dimwits here who know damn well their stupidity, and by now figured out their IQ level - to their own shock.

yeah.. lets invade ukraine in 2014 when vast majority of ukrainians were really convinced the west
was the solution to all their problems ,that there will be prosperity and refrigerators always full and they rich.  

To capture nations , is not only the military that you need to defeat ,you also need to capture people hearts too.. otherwise you will have endless civil unrest mass protest.. it will be impossible for russia
to control ukraine if all population demand them to leave. this also promote mas scale protest in russia too   remember that the soviet union was more powerful than russia today and was dismembered by mass scale civilians protest.

The only way you can hold control of a country that people hate you ,is with brutal repression ,the sadam hussein way , shooting those that protest inflicting terror on all civilians to go against the state , repression like that will make most scientist of russia to leave that dictatorship . so basically it will be to repetition of the same mistakes that soviet union did.  

The west defeated soviet union without firing a single bullet , never forget that . Don't understimate civilians capability to overthrow a repressive state , Russia empire was defeated by its own civil unrest.. soviet union too..  so the last thing russia should do is start a repressive totalitarian police state , because will be unable to control it without using the military to kill many thousands of civilians if not millions. This could trigger a third cheche war..

if you combine civil unrest for the invasion of all ukraine in 2014 ,with european full scale sanctions ,
when oil prices were very low , just $20 dollars barrel.. it will have wiped out the russian economy.
and china neither was that strong in 2014 to help russia.  Like i said , defeating the ukrainian army is not the problem.. just a dozens of planes loses and a few thousands of deaths in the army.. what will be really painful is to control and very angry population..  that is truly brainwashed and think joining europe will solve all their life problems.  Today in 2022 russia is better prepared , not only to fight ukrraine ,but also NATO and also the image of europe is not as good today as it was in 2014. Now even top leaders of the nazis in ukrainian  know the west don't care about ukraine , that the money they receive is not because they love ukrainians,, but because ukrainians are useful to fight russia.
all this mandatory vaccinations with poison and repression that now europeans face , this will be know by millions of ukrainians when move as refugees to europe and will wish they were in ukraine again, when they see the repression that now europe face. is my opinion ,russia have better chance now to influence ukranians than in 2014 , had the russian army had to invade all of ukraine. Because the image of the western world since the pandemic started have gone downhill and europeans that can afford it leaving it .
