Russian special military operation in Ukraine #35

"Both are fighting a superior force and cannot really stand out in the open to fight on even terms as they lack air control and decent artillery to really challenge their enemy.

So the Taliban ambush while the orcs issue a challenge and mark a place on the map to meet the Russian forces on equal terms?

Yeah, right."



Ukraine is in the open fighting lol, ridiculous you are trying to defend this stance. This isn't an ambush war, this is a standard war.

Yes Ukraine attacks spots that are defended by russian forces, and the russia does the same. They know each other are there, for christ sake. This is why I stopped replying to you, the things you say are just absurd,

In the meantime, Russkie wiped out several troops concentration spots, some of them bigger. As a daily basis practice.

Carry on, carry on, let all the bugs crawl out Laughing

It's not a typical modus operandi, you would expect that from UA side. Also, there isn't much going apart from some Russian strikes behind enemy lines that are impossible to asses the damage due to how strict censorship is.

Seems the Russians are distracting the Ukr ADs away by small air targets to give a change for the real missile or suicide drone for a successful attack .

Arkanghelsk your English is really good but didn't they teach you about the use of paragraphs?

Its OK perhaps to have single sentence paragraphs on a short post but when you do a long one, like on the last page, it makes it much easier to read if you block sentences about the same thing together. This isn't a mobile phone.

Thanks in anticipation.

Why is the MoD blaming the soldiers cell phones instead of accepting that a certain commander in the co0mmand chain is responsible for putting hundreds of troops in a building next to the frontline? This is victim blaming.

First of all, you don't get the full point because Kiev claims 400 dead Russian soldiers in that attack, and the patriots who care about Russia have been right on most other occasions so it is more like 50 to 0.2.

I never claimed ukrainian BS about 600 killed, I only follow voenkors. They said 50-100 got killed. You claimed voenkors were lying and nothing got hit.

Listening to panic mongers is not finding the truth...

Russian MoD response is cause for concern, because it doesnt claim responsibnility.

Georgia is a HATO ally and makes Su-25s...

I lumped in georgia with NATO. Even taking into account georgia, theres no way russia shot down 150 Su-25s. Theres no way ukraine has 350 aircraft shot down and is still flying.

Russian MoD says soldiers’ cellphone use led to Makiivka strike. Not much can be expected from semi literate soldiers.

Just an observation. Limb and RTN posting at the same time. Interesting. Aside from that I think that there was either treachery or some slithery Ukrainian sympathizers involved with this on top of constant western intel. Cell phones undoubtedly played a role.

Let us move on. We dont need hectoring over a failure and tragedy for multiple days. I think we should wait for more information and go from there. Even our idle guesses mean little in this fog of war.

WTF are you talking about? The cellphone blame was posted 1 day ago. Its been discussed since. If you have something against me thats ok, but stop making retarded lies that can be disproven by going back one page, you look extremely lazy like that.

RIP to all that died . I remember some here talking about hitting Ukrs soldiers , whilst they were still in Barracks , early in the war . I remember thinking that , I thought this to be legitimate or legal , but not sure if moral and practical . Since , I also remember that a retreating army , should not be attacked , but a way left open for them . Now during WW2 , before D- day landings , the allies in Britain , used dummy Tanks to fool the Germans about exact numbers and location for the landings , but they also made Radio chatter , to give false information . Here , if truly cell - phone signals were triangulated for attack , then Russians can put many cell - phones on the front and give false info etc . I think normal military Radio , can also be triangulated for attack . But no precise attack on Russian military HQ ? So it could be American satellites and not careless Generals . Easier to fire Generals than to fire at Generals ! If you know what I mean .However a test , will supply answers .

More detail on the Nazi that was killed as per my post 423

Leader of the Hitler Youth eliminated in #Ukraine

Oleg Yurchenko, who was the organizer of the all-Ukrainian military-patriotic game "Falcons-Dzhura", an educational program of the Hitler Youth, during which children were given military training skills.

The Drive

Puplishes in a country that created Generals like Hodges, Petraeus... 

For months our MSM tell us that "Ukraine" is huuuuuugely successful. But there single largest strike against russian soldiers comes after 10+ months of the war?
At New Year´s Eve?
Tells you something about their real success.


It seems someone is driving his Moped along the border.

Second actually.
The first one was smaller in scale, but they hit some Achmat units while they TikToked location a while ago. 40KIA or so, RAK ordered bloody vengeance back there. And Putin ordered a general audit why such stupid things happening. After that the number of Chechen originated materials dropped significantly.

Dr.Snufflebug wrote:UA put a gag order on everyone regarding what was struck at the train station and thereabouts, which was caught on film by chance by that French news crew. Big boom, definitely included ammo and/or fuel.

Other wester journos on site reported, in real time at least 9 large impacts.

Now they pretend it never happened and they're only showing that damaged ice arena nonstop.

So, in other words...

Seriously...

Kuleba Invited the IOC President to visit Altair Ice Arena in Druzhkivka Destroyed by Russian Missile Strike
https://tsn.ua/en/ato/kuleba-invited-the-ioc-president-to-visit-altair-ice-arena-in-druzhkivka-destroyed-by-russian-missile-strike-2236543.html

So they really screwed the lid on TIGHT about the actual strikes and their results in Druzhovka, and then what in all honesty appears to be some rather minor secondary damage (possibly even caused by UA ammo cooking off at the nearby industrial area) to the ice arena is trumpeted far and wide, nonstop.

Inviting the president of the International Olympic Committee... You know, Ukraine really sucks at PR, it's always so incredibly dumb and over the top all the time, not to mention absolutely FULL of contradictions and obvious lies, but they get a total free pass and that's why it somehow works anyway. Nobody ever dares calling them out on it.

I mean for christ's sake, they've literally shown their own troops and defense systems messing up real bad, fully verified, and all it took was Zelensky or Kuleba or somebody muttering "muh, Russians" and that was it. UA shelling Donetsk for years, "muh, Russians"...

Then, the constant cycle of:

"Russia has as its explicit goal to kill as many civilians as possible" ->
"Heavy Russian missile strikes injures two"...

"Russia is running out of missiles" ->
"Russia launches 110 missiles for the fifth day in a row"...

"We shot down ALL of Russia's missiles" ->
"Strikes recorded on important targets in 12 regions, severe power outages"...

Back and forth, contradiction after contradiction. It's been like this since 2014, not only regarding the military side of things but everything else as well.

Only thing even coming close to this kind of absurdity that I can remember are the Syrian "rebels" stuff that they disseminated to western audiences. None of it needed to be corroborated in any way, it didn't even need to sound plausible. It could be as cringy it's humanly possibly to make it, didn't matter.

It was lapped up and relayed instantly. You know phenomena such as Bana Alabed, the "#HolocaustAleppo" thing, the "last hospital" being bombed (for the thousandth time) etc.

Then, regarding Russia it's 180. There every funny rumor is latched onto like there's no tomorrow, every little thing that the government or any official says that can be disproven or at the very least doubted in any way gets headline treatment.

Ukrainian nutjobs getting more and more emboldened.

Long and informative article of the situation as of December's end. Fairly unbiased considering author is a Finnish professor.


Current military situation in Ukraine crisis, end December 2022

In the update article “Current situation in Ukraine crisis” of November 30, there were assessments on the political-military situation and possible trajectories, where the things are going. Here I am updating, particularly the military situation on the whole theater of war and assessing the probable military outcome. Some interesting and important new features and issues will be studied closer.

Hotspots in the frontline, activities on battlefields

In November, Russian troops went on the offensive in several directions on the Ukrainian front lines and declared significant successes in some areas. December has further confirmed this trajectory but the main tactics of Russia’s forces is still “meat-grinding” by heavy artillery and rocket strikes and slow advance of infantry troops. Frontlines have been quite stable during December.

This will be the best lesson the new recruits could get.
And I am serious - even those with quite solid military backgrounds lack the perspective of how detailed recon is being provided to the Ukrs. They never fought the kind of opponents as well.
Have you noticed a radical drop in the shit the Chechens used to upload in every piece of net that sucked data? Toasting 30-40 of them taught the lesson well to most of the others. Now it will be no different.

Edt : is it what I think it is?

Did they replace the tail section or are this the standard "stabilators"?
