    co-worker comming over for coffee:

    co-worker: "yeah, what an horrible thing it is with Ukraine right?".
    me: "yes, its sad".
    Coworker: "those damn russians, they are losing against ukraine tough. Putin wants to carve out a new soviet empire".
    Me: "well, dont believe everything you read here...."

    coworker a bit later: "so, i heard you have been upgrading your gear and room during the lockdown".
    me:"yes!, i went wild with RGB"
    Coworker:"cool!, can i take a look?".

    Me, in absolute poker-face mode: "everything is off upstairs...so there is nothing to look at.
    I would need to start up my computer to control everything".

    Co-worker:"..ow...forget about it, thats too much hassle to just take a look"
    Me:"i posted on youtube how everything looks while everything is running, here is the link to the synthwave theme"

    *Meanwhile...my actual room*

    The maps are accurate, most of the VSU in the east is not receiving any support, counter attacks are impossible when your reserves are being struck by Kinzhal, Bastion, Kalibr, and all other manner of destruction in the rear

    They're just grinding them in the east

    Subscribers report that #Lithuanians donate their SUVs for the needs of the territorial defense of #Ukraine

    Moreover, not empty, but filled with humanitarian aid.



    Ukrainians asked for them, most of the vehicles are SUVs and minibusses, like Ford Transit and etc. It is mostly donated by people and companies and if I am not mistaken, the national auto agency is also sending confiscated vehicles from smugglers and etc. I rather see them being sent than all the ammo from reserves

    BTW kinzhal and bastion use isn't a message

    Yes it has sent a message de facto

    But noone in MOD would use such weapons with the only intended effect to be a message

    In other words the primary reason for the use of such weapons is to degrade the VSU ability to reinforce beleaguered units in the east

    AND simultaneously a message was sent, but it's not a school game, noone uses such weapons "to send a message" unless you're donald trump or state department

    They wouldn't believe it if you showed them. There were some bad apples in UA army, but there is a reason why Russia won't persecute people from belonging to the army, on other hand belonging to Aidar, Azov and other formations can get you long prison time.

    Also, UA army prisoners are being sent back to Ukraine. Same goes to border guards and territory guards. And soon Azov will be dispersed.

    A video of the destruction of a warehouse with Ukrainian weapons by Kinzhal missiles has been published. March 19, 2022.

    The Russian Ministry of Defense published a video of the destruction of a warehouse with Ukrainian weapons by hypersonic missiles "Dagger", this was done with one high-precision strike into an underground hangar.

    The Russian armed forces destroyed a large underground warehouse of missiles and aviation ammunition of Ukrainian troops in the village of Delyatyn, Ivano-Frankivsk region, using the Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles.

    Note that the use of this kind of missiles was the first official in history. The strike with the Kinzhal missile system was delivered on March 18.

    Recall that in February the Russian army held a planned exercise of strategic deterrence forces, during which ballistic and cruise missiles were launched. During the exercises, the Russian Aerospace Forces successfully launched Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles, and ships and submarines of the Northern and Black Sea fleets launched Kalibr cruise missiles and Zirkon hypersonic missiles.

    (Can't embed the video)

    The US is now fighting the whole world literally

    The Shandong carrier nears taiwan

    The US has started a two front war , like the nazis did

    It is doing this while not having any industrial capacity similar to Hitler

    This is suicide of epic proportions

    You are quite mistaken, they could have carried out the strike with another missile. It's not a school game to display a weapons destructive strength to a foe, this has been done throughout history and the Russians did such things in Syria.

    But you are to believe what you wish even if its a total romanticized view on the facts

    Sanctions are not suposse to work overnight. It will take its time to see its full effect. But large unemployment and decrease of product its at least expected.

    You got it backwards. Sanctions are supposed to be a here and now situation. The state finds ways to counter it that it reduces the effects after long term. That's why CBR said that things go back to normal in Russia in 2024.

    But that is the point, the use of Kinzhal and Bastion isn't to display anything

    They have been displayed many times before

    Anyway what is the use of "sending a message"

    That's western thought process, I will do this and send a message, "biden sends a message to China not to help russia"

    This is not Russian military thinking or even political thinking

    "Sending a message" is political theater, which you dont see in states except for US, and maybe in other states during election cycles. But you don't need to convey such messages to anyone except the intended target, the VSU

    Also Seig, the use of these weapons gave results at tactical level

    They were not used at a strategic level, because all strategic targets were destroyed week 1

    You don't employ weapons against  brigade level Barracks, brigade fuel storages, brigade vehicle depots, and brigade weapons and ammo sites to convey a message at the strategic or operational level

    The targets are tactical,  so any message is received by the recipient, reserve brigades of the VSU

    Any other "hidden messaging" is just a consequence of the strikes themselves

    But not a political or military objective

    The messaging you speak of was done week 1, with activation of RVSN, which dissuaded no fly zones, and fighter jet supplies

    Thats the only messaging , that could be conveyed given the lack of deconfliction lines, diplomatic relations, and complete breakdown of communications with the west

    Guys the mi24 that was downed that supposedly was VKS, has now been confirmed to be VSU mi24

    This is the video that was taken from elevated position, with mi24 being hit and exploding mid air , traveling on screen from left to right

    This is a video everyone should see even if they cannot understand

    You can see the emotional state of the remnants of 79th brigade

    1 kalibr missile, has created a psychological zrada for the enemy

    It sucks, but they must comprehend it, they won't be spending time counterattacking at Voznesensk, but recollecting body parts of friends at Nikolayev, they need to understand what is going on here,

    Zelensky goes to Washington, begs for weapons, comes back, and wants peace talks, it's a joke, and the 79th brigade paid for it

    It is the same story for the whole VSU, what are they fighting for? What Peremoha? What are they winning? What identity are they defending? All these questions are going through the minds of VSU

    I see the young guys in Irpen, voice cracking, What are they scared of? Their families are not going to be harmed, they will not be harmed either

    They must lay down their weapons and rebuild Ukraine

    Demilitarize, denazify and come March on May 9th with the DPR and citizens of Mariupol, with the flags of 🇺🇦 🇧🇾🇷🇺

    Ukrainian military advisor Arestovich's prophecy about the coming war with Russia from 2019 and his predictions about it. Got to say he was 90% correct

    Unfortunately only in Russian



    He was sure that the war would be won back then though.

    And he's right about Putin wanting to build the Union State (USSR 2.0), but didn't consider the fact that this scenario of arming up the Ukraine to the brim and building NATO infrastructure on its soil was penned by the Americans - Biden in the conferences with Putin in 2021 offered the later to drop China but Putin refused. In return in Nov. 2021 the Ukraine signed a treaty on further NATO integration.

    Arestovich also didn't consider that the Ukraine could have just followed the Minsk peace agreements, at the end of the day. This was the best chance for the Ukraine to actually stop the war in the Donbass and maintain its sovereignty.
