Russian special military operation in Ukraine #23

Russia is purchasing millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea to re-energise its offensive in Ukraine, according to recently declassified US intelligence, as western sanctions begin to choke Moscow’s supply of weapons.

The Russian ministry of defence was “in the process of purchasing millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea for use on the battlefield in Ukraine”, a US official said, citing intelligence recently cleared for public dissemination.

“This purchase indicates that the Russian military continues to suffer from severe supply shortages in Ukraine, due in part to export controls and sanctions,” the official added.

Moscow’s military dealings with North Korea come after recent disclosures that it is also relying on another pariah nation, Iran, to support its war in Ukraine. Russia received its first shipment of Iranian combat drones last week and was likely to receive more, US officials said.

Iran and North Korea are widely seen as relatively unreliable providers of military equipment. US officials said some of the drones purchased by Russia from Iran had experienced mechanical failures.

Those officials pointed to Russia’s decision to purchase weapons from the two countries as evidence that export controls and sanctions were significantly hindering Moscow’s ability to meet its weapons supply needs.

The last time they destroyed 2 or 3 columns of men/vehicles with artillery before they could attack. Result: 200 to 300 dead. A few dozen destroyed vehicles. The rest retreated.

This time they let them come closer. Cross a small river. Enter a village. Result: up to 4.000 dead. 8.000+ wounded. Roughly 200 destroyed vehicles. And because the big meeting is coming up in 2 days the UkroNaziRegime can´t retreat and has to keep sending more cannon fodder to the front.

The little attack in Kharkov region is most likely a distraction for the bloody nose they got in the south.

To put things into perspective, Martyanov talks about the scale of the UkroNazi attack and their "success".

not that they ever would because they have their own backyards to take care of, but if Russia was to plan a major offensive to speed things along it might be beneficial to utilize Iranian and Korean forces in Ukraine so they could get live training against American and NATO tactics so they could better defend their homelands against future aggression.

You are one of the few here who isn't pushing the chicken little nonsense or spreading new fakes (Walle).

It is kind of telling actually, how dumb people can really be.  They were lied to about Iranian and Chinese weapons so now they go for the NK ones (its easy to prove or disprove - show the shells that have proof they were made in NK).  But they shill this nonsense because it either fits their wanted narrative or they lack grey matter between the ears and thus parrot whatever is being told in their trash media.

Yes , it was such a good idea to let Ukrainians mass their reserves and gain a bridgehead on ingulets

It was very smart to let Ukrainians mass reserves and attack balakleya

Despite having satellites and drones to track movement of personnel and just kalibrating the barracks

It's better to have them charge the guys with their equipment massed

We lost a bridgehead , settlements, and postponed the kherson referendum

But all the doubters are idiots that don't understand 6th dimensional putin-shoigu chess games

Or, maybe you do not bother to read what others state and why these happen.  Ukraine lost so much while gaining about 10km^2.  

What was lost? Cannon fodder? They don't care about their own men, and the equipment is just replaced, like autospawning Ukr airforce which was supposedly gone in March,  but magically stays in air, no wait its not magic the west just replaces lost equipment

No, you aren't.  I dont want to stroke any kind of false ego you have.  You are neither a military genius, or even remotely intelligent.  Let the enemy take ghost villages, and strike them.  Kherson is clearly a way to goad the Ukrainians and they took it.



This happened in Kharkov and Kiev months ago, Russian army still is by Belarus and racing in biathlons, i guess we are like ukrainians attacking backwards

You make it sound like Russia actually lost something.  LOL.  They didn't and gained most back either case.  But you will never acknowledge it because you both: 1) Lie a lot and 2) act like a woman on her period.  Logic fails you and will continue to fail you and I honestly think you should be banned for your trolling and lying.  But we know Garry is OK with lies and trolls on this forums.  If I was still moderator though, you would have been long gone.  I dont think there is a person here, besides known liars like Limb and Walle, who dont have you on ignore list.  Maybe I am doing a disservice to this forum by quoting you and instead, we should all ignore you so that you can just go back to whatever hole you live in and wallow in pain over how things aren't going how you want it and how it should be to you.

lmfao

Edit: oh yeah, add Odin of Moron to the list too.  That guy is about as useful as tits on a bull.  Rants about Ukrainians ruling Poland all the time.  When we all know Poland is its own kind of crazy (he reflects that).

So for now on, I'll just keep you on ignore and wont bother reply to you.



okay, and when west embarrasses dumbfuck Kremlin next time by blowing up a base or assassinating the next unsuspecting Russian, il be here to point out why

Sorry, but Rybar is full of shit these days. I will change my mind when I see destroyed Leopard tanks. Also, notice last time they also cried that sky was falling.

Rybar was pretty much spot on in Kherson reporting.
 I don't even have that much problems with day to day operation. 
Soldiers in the field are doing their best. 
I don't understand what is the end game and why very obvious and easy things are not done. Forgot to also mention Kremenchug refinery, which was never hit seriously. Ukrainians managed to solve their fuel problems.
