Russian special military operation in Ukraine #41

Bingo for the Dingo

Large columns of russian tanks moving around

T-80BVM got more ERA, too.

The M2 makes more sense in Ukraine than the M1 at least.
But as usual the US nerfed it. It has no ERA for example. They only added spaced armor to it.

Oh, finally they are here.
Never thought one day I may see a national flag of RF on a M2 or M1...

"It has no ERA for example"
And they have no independent para sights for the commanders either...

These ones do not even have the main gun.

Dynamic Duo

"T-80BVM got more ERA, too."

Interestingly, if that is at the front, they saw no need for a Z etc on it.

Remember this from last week?



Well. now we have

"Last week, a highly-classified Pentagon document showed that four out of nine JDAMS fired by Ukrainian pilots missed their targets due to Russian GPs jamming capabilities. The document says that other artillery systems such as the M270 and HIMARs are also being impacted by Moscow’s forces using GPs jamming."

It’s not that the people are protesting against NATO or anything, it’s all domestic… but their 5th columnists and useful idiots want to make it look like they are.  

Ukrainian topic already becoming very unpopular. It’s not that there is sudden support for Russia in eastern Europe, but more or less people are tired of Ukrainian bullshit. And rubbing Ukro flags into domestic protester noses is not helping. Especially when you consider that even in anti russian countries majority of people are pragmatists who simply want better life for them and their children. But atlantists are idiots. If EU had a spine and wouldn’t be cowards, they would chose Hungarian stance

This was a himars. Just one with a different cab.

Old video, it was towing M777 and hunted down with other transport vehicles. Not HIMARS, afaik it posted on this thread 3 months ago.

Ukraine is Using Ethnic Russians as Cannon Fodder.






Looks like the claim about it I have posted on here before is true.


While the real ethnic Ukrainians get conserved/spared or get to serve in the elite nationalist units.

One Leo2 less. Training accident. Rumour: they showed the tank a picture of a Kornet missile and he lost his turret.

Strengthening of the AFU Grouping near the #Dnieper

Ukrainian formations continue preparations for the spring campaign along the entire frontline. In #Kherson region, the activity of the AFU on the right bank of the #Dnieper has increased. The number of mortar shelling has increased and additional forces have been redeployed to the line of contact.

What exactly is happening along the #Dnieper?

Several columns of military equipment with personnel have been observed moving from the area of Krivoy Rog to the south along the highway to #Berislav. And all this was carried out at night.

At least one S-300 SAM launcher was moved from #Bashtanka to #Snigirevka and the surrounding area. An infantry battalion on 15 armoured vehicles of unknown type was moved from #Nikolayev to #Luparevo.

In #Ochakov, near the coastline of the #Dnieper-Bug Estuary, more than 100 people and five light armored vehicles are stationed at several recreation centers.

Long-range artillery firing positions are set up along the #Dnieper River in various settlements, including #Ochakov, #Luparevo, #Kherson and #Berislav. Forced evacuation of local residents from #Stanislav to #Koblevo, west of #Ochakov, has been carried out.

In addition, a split point on the #Snigirevka-#Kherson railway line was commissioned at #Galaganovka station to increase the throughput capacity to #Kherson.

The Preparation of the AFU Assault Groups is currently being completed. Personnel and equipment are being concentrated in settlements near the line of contact, while civilians are being forcibly removed to other towns and placed in tourist camps.

According to the Ukrainian commanders, crossing the river is a necessary step for a successful offensive with a broad front, as it will allow the Russian forces on the left bank of the #Dnieper to be constrained, despite the potential losses.

The objective of the initial strike from the right bank of the #Dnieper is to divert the attention of the RF Armed Forces by using the length of the river to their advantage.

In the Long Term, AFU units intend to entrench themselves in one section of the #Dnieper basin and use the bridgehead to develop a simultaneous attack on #Crimea from #Kherson and #Orekhov in #Zaporozhye region.

The most likely sites are the #Kinburn Peninsula, #Kherson and Nova Kakhovka because of convenient terrain for both manpower and equipment. That is where the engineers of the 808th Pontoon Bridge Regiment are stationed.

Given the increased activity of both Ukrainian infantry and information and psychological operations forces, an attack on Russian army positions in the #Kherson region is possible in the coming weeks. And, first and foremost, it will be aimed at creating a negative background in the run-up to Victory Day on May 9.

Another rumors for the leopard

Old video, it was towing M777 and hunted down with other transport vehicles.

The point is, not all HIMARS have that spaceship looking cab. Which the nafo f-heads all use to claim that no hmars have ever been destroyed
