Pathetic.

They're on the cusp of being surrounded in Nikolayev and they're still worried about readying the Kherson offensive?

Definately an optimistic set of people. Like Defence Secretary Austin told them a few months back - the first step in winning is believing that you're gonna win. War is like a game of American Football; secretary Austin gets it. If you're down in the first half or take a downturn - there's no reason why you can't bounce back. It's all about the right mindset

So almost 15,000 causalities for Donetsk since January 1st. The last reference from Lugansk, and it has been awhile, showed they were around 60% of the Donetsk total at that time. Which makes sense since they only make up 40% of the joint militias.

Sorry if it's happened before. I don't have time to read the topic about the special operation.


According to this document, only the Armed Forces of Ukraine (not including other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine) counted 76,640 KIA

And those figures are as of the 1st of July which was 18 weeks into the SMO. It is now 26 weeks.

That's the hivemind siege mentality speaking.

It's a never ending purity spiral - one bad word and you are OUT. Keeps the rest of the (shrinking) flock on their toes and intimidated.

yeah so i am not really taking this to the school yard tbh, but there was actually a very simple question that was taken the wrong way. there was zero agro on my part, please re-read what i said.

and if it's not too much trouble, can some explain why there are two very different trains being used as evidence? were there two trains destroyed, i dont know? the one i queried is clearly very different to the one i posted. is there a simple explanation for this? peeps just need to calm down a wee bit. crikey.

People in the know are privy to the fact that the Apollo astronauts discovered long-abandoned facilities and vehicles that were clearly artifacts of the original Ukrainian explorers who first explored Earths closest neighbour. If it was not for the Mongol-Moskals corrupting the great Ukrainian Motherland thru their agression and jealousy and undermining the greatness of the Ukrainian nation, then Kiev Rus would have colonised Mars and Ganymede by now...

Good news.  The stinking banderite regime would rather its people freeze in the dark come the Winter rather than allow red, white and blue freedom-electrons into their pure-race Ubermensch wiring systems...  

The orcs were shelling the NPP in a (failed) bid to force Russia to allow external foreign (western-controlled) "international" agencies in to operate the power station so that Russia could not cut off power to Ukraines collapsing hovel-cities. Well its clear that this idiotic gambit has failed

Therefore number KIA before operation was about 5000 , and since operation 3000 . But I also read some place that the number KIA before operation in LDPR , to be 14000 and number displaced evacuees to be 1.5 million ? Was this numbers just for LDPR , or entire Ukraine ? Are they accurate ? The same metric or algorithm can apply to other regions . Military action or operations ( that result in death or refugees and are therefore existential , a matter of survival , or significant ) must be justified , in the face of actual and immediate benefit , they will bring , to save lives of people , who might be killing each other . Say in Micolayev or Kharkiv or Odessa , how many have been or are being killed , in inter- ethnic conflict now or recently ? How many of population , both Russian or Ukrainian have been displaced ? Which one is a priority for liberation ? Where is the actual problem ? Which area has greater military value ( in defeating the NAZIs ) ?

I'm not sure this is over Crimea or not , beautiful interception .

Military operation in Ukraine

Vucic (Вучић, Vučić ) believes that Europe will not survive the crisis in Ukraine if it lasts another year



According to the President of Serbia, "the market will be canceled"

BELGRADE, 27 August. /TASS/. Europe will not survive the crisis in Ukraine if Russia's special operation in that country continues for another year. This was announced on Saturday by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in a televised address to the nation.

"The market will be canceled, everything will disappear. If the Russians wage war like this slowly and slowly, and this goes on for a year or more, then next year there will be no one who will survive this in Europe, including us. This year is still like- Someday, next year, next winter - go to waste! Excuse me for telling you the truth that others won't tell you, but, Lord have mercy, the price of gas in August is $4,000!" Vucic said.

Earlier, he said that Europe will face cataclysm and blackouts due to the global energy crisis. He also said that for the next eight months, Serbia will be in an undeclared state of emergency, the situation in the country is the most difficult in 10 years. The President noted that due to the heat, the generation of electricity at the hydroelectric power station stopped, and the price of energy carriers is growing. According to him, it is increasingly difficult for Belgrade to cope with such a situation, given that cheap Russian gas covers only 62% of the country's needs.

Vučić predicted that the exchange price for gas in the coming winter could reach $6,000 per 1,000 cubic meters. m. Earlier, he informed that in the course of telephone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he agreed on the main issues of the gas contract. The contract will be signed for three years, the price will be calculated according to the oil formula, the cost of 1 thousand cubic meters. m of gas will be from $360 to $410. According to Vucic, the price for 2.2 billion cubic meters. m of gas is the best in Europe, the question remains of the price for additional volumes - 800 million cubic meters. m.

A question about aviation:

Someone made the claim that the Russian aviation only flies close air support strikes on the front line, because of flak and missiles, the Su-25 only fire salvos of rockets in parabolic firing well out of range of defenses. This I know is not true because the Su-25s have made many attacks with bombs as well, as seen in the frontlines of Donetsk city sector

The claim is that Russian aviation is ineffective because Ukrainian air defense. And that's why the stalemate of the positional warfare because lack of effective air power.

I haven't been paying much attention, but the topic is a recurring one, after the first weeks I know Russian bombers don't fly into western Ukraine, no need to risk planes when most targets can be reached by the rockets and cruise missiles beyond that.

That being said, I am sure bombers are operating by dropping satellite guided bombs from 6.000 meters beyond MANPADS range.

The question is, can anyone confirm the claim that the Russian aviation does not strike beyond the frontline? I don't think it's the case. After six months of war, a lot of the SAMs and radars have been destroyed and there can be no question of a continuous belt of defenses. Some targets will be covered and the aviation will give them a wide berth, but I am sure there are enough gaps and lanes for the Russian aircraft to pass through and strike targets in the near rear of the frontlines.


I also think the perception of the Russian air force doing nothing but CAS might be a skewed one because many missions are being accomplished by other means.

I already mentioned long range artillery and rocket troops, we know for certain helicopters perform interdiction and strikes on targets of opportunity at night to avoid MANPADS besides CAS strikes.

About interdiction, Sukhoi-25 shturmoviks are not roaming above the battlefield strafing roads and targets of opportunity because it's both unneccesary and an unnecessary risk.

Air reconnaissance has been replaced by satellites. Tactical recon and spotting for artillery fire are being carried out by drones.

Fighters are out of work because lack of aerial opposition, but I am sure they also being employed in hunting drones, though air defense takes care of that mostly.

I am sure that there's still a niche for tactical bombing beyond the frontlines, on troop and material concentrations, and some other strikes on high value targets like HQ or supply dumps. I hardly watch any videos, much less of those of airplanes taking off, but I am sure observant people would be able to dispel the notion that the Russian planes beyond the Su-25 are idle. Newsreel footage of planes taxiing and taking of would indicate what aircraft are being employed, and a look at the ordnance suspended from the pylons indicates what type of missions are being performed.

I am sure in the Russian internet there might be some open sources analysis or report of aerial operations so far.
