Russian special military operation in Ukraine #22

No wonder the Ukrainians are losing this war. They would rather parade much needed war material as symbols and signals instead.

Bruh, russians are doing the same thing in the army2022 expo, except they only have a single towed howitzer to flex. Not even the mythical captured caesars or pzh 2000

This is so cringe. It sounds like its trying to appeal to boomer MAGA sexpats. Replace Russia with Thailand in the video and it would make the same sense.

Also ballet? Seriously? This was conjured up by some 60yo+ fossil.

Well I live in England, and its not as extremist Neoliberal Woke-fag as America.
However England has become an absolute joke.
It will soon be 40% the worst immigrant rubbish from the 3rd world -Islamic states etc.
Freedom of speech? Not with "cancel culture", "Wokism" and Facebook controlling everything.
Democracy? One bunch of upper class wankers or another. The next 2 goons for PM are funded by Bill Gates or an Indian multibillionaire father-in-law who owns Wipro.
The opposition "LAbour" leader is reviled because he BANNED the last Labour leader,and opposed Brexit because he is clearly a puppet of the international Globalist gang.


Faggotry and even tranny-ism mercilessly promoted to little kids as young as 2 and 3!
Economically the place is becoming a sweatshop for most. Major corporations seem to be taking over EVERYTHING.
It seems the trash that is GM food is not far away.
People regularly wait 40 hrs for an "emergency" ambulance.
Taxes are often 50% vs 15% in Russia.
State healthcare is a joke.
Garbage countries used to be way behind Britain economically, now they are catching up.
Few young people can afford their own homes.
The place is as social class/caste regimented as pretty much any country on Earth.
(Power positions are dominated by around old boys/girls of around 8 high schools, no matter how talented you are if u are from other schools).
Energy and food prices are so sky high even the middle class are struggling.
Few young white people can afford to reproduce, such is the efffect of 3rd world immigration depressing wages. (Many people's wages have gone down 50% or more in recent times) thats to Indians, Africans, Pakistanis and Poles etc


And ballet? Well I'd rather my daughters/gf did something feminne than the grotesque  British dykes who do football, boxing and rugby.

Britain is rapidly becoming an absolute joke.
Russia is of interest to me because I am of half Russian blood.
But it would be of interest to many British citizens who aren't remotely Russian.

The immigration process [in Russia] is extremely excruciating.

I see that the video mentions "no cancel culture" featuring two women of color. Reality is foreigners from third world countries have to face close to 7-8 hours of interrogation at Sheremetyevo and quite a few of them are deported despite this intense grilling. Not to forget that those who eventually do get to enter are stopped and frisked by local police across Moscow, St Pete and other cities.

If you happen to be a White guy from the States you will be followed by some homeland security guys where ever you go.

If the U.S Embassy were to release a similar video titled "Come to the USA" half of Russia would be empty by now. Already 3 million Russians live here in the US and the number is growing every year. This stands testimony to the fact that life in the US is in orders of magnitude better than it is in Russia.

Small business exists in Russia and a monthly protection money is collected regularly. However as soon as you hit a decent turnover you need serious protection , which is the domain of Government. And if the turnover really exceeds say $10Mill, the local government will place an investor/partner on your board whether you want one or not.

Why will China object when Pakistan is an ally of China?

Not true...Russians showed much more than one single howitzer.

You have all, from antitank missiles (Jevelins), armored vehicles, Boats....even captured UAV (Bayraktar).


Main difference is that Ukraine showed destroyed "Russian" equipment which with high probability could be destroyed Ukrainian equipment.
Msta, T-80, T-72 they are all soviet made weapons which was in service with Ukrainian army.
You can see V and Z only on few most modern BMD-4 displayed.
If this is true, then where are T-80BVM and T-90M and etc..???

Bold quote alone, shows that you don't know shit about Russia and that you are an complete idiot. I don't even want to go further in debunking your bs.

It is a waste of time to discuss the reality of modern Russia and even the US with these trolls. They spout off talking points straight
of the 1980s. You have to be brain damaged or diseased to keep ignoring reality to the point of becoming detached from it. All
of this troll feeding is OT for this thread. Sorry for my OT as well.

Yeah the West is better than Russia if:-

a)You want your sons to be crossdressers who get bummed by men. (the whole West)
b)Want your daughters to become crewcut headed lezzers who do boxing and football.
c)Want to be jailed for calling your tranny excuse for a son ... a "son" (Scotland)
d)Want to work on half your salary of 20 yrs ago, for a bunch radical Islamists who will be allowed to molest your daughters under local govt protection (100s of towns around Britain).
e)Want to be compulsively force fed carcinogenic GM foods without even being told (USA and soon Europe)
f)Work til you literally die because the 3rd world immigrant trash and heriditary upper class have bankrupted the state financial system (Britain).

20-30 yrs ago, the US was far better than E Europe for around 30% of the population.
NOw the USA is an absolute disaster zone culturally, socially, politically AND economically.

Around 5-7  destroyed mstas, plus over 15 captured or destroyed Russian tanks put on display in kiev. This reminds me of the captured tanks displayed in Prague. How the hell did the Ukrainians manage to destroy and capture many SPGs? The russians haven't captured a single pzh2000, dana, krab or caesar. if the Ukrainians can ploink and capture over a dozen(that we know of) russian SPGs, then russians are far worse at counterbattery fire against SPGs. This is pathetic. The russians gloat for weeks about achieving near misses against 3 M109s, to the point of labeling M109s as pzh2000, plus showing 144px vids of random unidentifiable crap getting bombarded,  while Ukrainians are showing loads of destroyed Mstas in HD.
This video shows that Russian tank losses are probably over 300, jydging by the ratio between photographed destroyed equipment and actual destroyed equipment.

Some of those tanks look more Ukrainian than Russian based on the armor on the sides.

It does look like knocked out Russian stuff, but there are T-80UD's in there that perhaps could be of Ukrainian origin.

Just a bit further down "Ukraine Defense" posted this on twatter

It is not an expired shell.
It is a flooded one, most probably.
There was a serious flood in both Romania and Bulgaria in 2014, so that is my first thought.
It affected Varna - there was big ammo storage there.

Probably just convient to use Ukraine as a dumping ground. Can claim they sent munitions, but also get rid of the ruined stuff without having to dispose of them themselves.
