If you watch the video closely you can see the small crowd of young locals in Kiev, jubillently cheering on what they assume to be a downing of a Russian drone in the skies over Kiev.
This the city you want Firebird?

NOTE: General Mizintsey just left the position as Deputy Minister in charge of MTO (logistics). Prior to that he built and managed the new National Defense Command Center in Moscow.
Hold on a minute, the RA General in charge of supplying Wagner with ammo is now their Deputy Commander

Russian air force strikes from out of range witg rockets fired in the air making their su-25 and ka-52 just dumb bm-21 with bad guidance. Now the gliding bombs helps a lot since 2 or 3 months ago but before that it was just dumb rockets fired in a general direction and some kh-29 here and there. Nothing helpfull.
When you see how small the territory of ukros in Bakmut is, some 100 fab-500 could decimate their positions there to help Wagner take the city yet russian air force is still not doing its job leading to more deads than needed on both sides.
They were lobbing rockets as they were maintaining low altitude in flight to avoid Ukrainian AD.
For this same reason you can't effectively use most of the precision guided missiles. Their ranges also depend on the altitude of launch.
You can sneak up to the enemy with dumb bombs and put them on target relatively accurately, and so they were doing that too
Now that Ukrainian AD has been reduced, they can afford to take more risks and fly higher, enabling the use of glide bombs and more types of air to ground missiles, but maintaining their distance from the targets
The next step would be to attain such air suprecmacy, where they will be confident to conduct bombing runs with GLONASS guided munitions from high altitudes, and dumb bombs corrected by targetting computers from medium alttidues. Using Tu-22M3s and Su-24s, Su-34s at max loadouts. Where they will really be able to put a lot of explosives on target and for cheaply. But that will require the remainder of the Ukraine's S-300s and Buks to be taken out first, and anything NATO sends too.

Do u work for CNN or similar?
With Fascists and actual Nazis in charge do u think they are all going to boo the junta's army?
Look what happened in Odessa, Kharkov, Kherson etc.
No one is disputing a fair amount of trash needs to be kicked out of Kiev.
But its trash that recently went there. Last in, first out. Problem solved.
Are u going to give Chechnya to the Americans? What about Moscow?
Words fail me.

Hell OMON is better equipped than Wagner.
What are you on about? PMC = light infantry.
Wagner has several advantages. It's more flexible compared to the regular military, having less of a hierarchy, and it has units organized and experienced in urban combat

It is impossible that Russia will leave bakhmut at this point.DerWolf wrote:Wagner says on 10th May will withdraw from Bakhmut.
Either it is just psyop, or it is just that wagner will be replaced by someone else (Chechens, other groups, or regular army).

regulars most likely.
Is Wagner the -Only- Russian forces in Bakhmut region ? It's eerily similar to Kadyrov's PR moves that seem to lead media to believe He's the vanguard of the assault.
For me it's like psy-ops and Wagner will simply move elsewhere.

Yes, but still no access to aircraft or tanks unless it is given to them by the military. That was the only point I was discussing.

I am also convinced that it is a fake...
No "Iskander" was shot down, so it's a waste of time to even write about this.
And yes, just take it easy gentlemen and have some patience.
Russians are at war with the land army they have at least, while the West has reduced all its power to a very vulnerable aviation.
Tactical nuclear strikes, which some mention here, will certainly not be carried out on the territory of Ukroshitstan.
This will be done throughout the European territory.
The Russians said a long time ago that they would attack the "decision-making centers". THAT'S EXACTLY BEING POSTPONED.
Now I am already 51% convinced that a direct conflict with the NATO pact is imminent.

Prigozhin's Unprecedented Meltdown
"These guys here are the Wagner PMC, who died today, the blood is still fresh. Get them all on camera (to the cameraman). And now listen to me fucking bitch - it's someone's fathers and someone's sons and those ... who don't give us ammunition... will eat their fucking guts in hell, motherfuckers. We have a 70% ammunition shortage. Shoigu, Gerasimov, where the **** is the ammunition? Look at them, bitches... You bitches are sitting in expensive clubs, your kids are getting off on life and making videos on youtube. You think you're the masters of this life and that you have the right to control THEIR lives. Do you think that if you have shell warehouses, you have the right to do so? There are elementary calculations, if you gave normative number of ammunition they (points to the dead) would be five times less. They came here as volunteers and are dying for you to live in your redwood offices. Keep that in mind."
WTF

Noone can tell if this is theater or not, this have never been done. And to level insults of that kind to Gerasimov and Shoigu is beyond theatrical I've never seen anything like it
If the army does come, noone knows wtf will happen
Maybe they will give Bakhmut away like Kherson and Kharkov?
Or will they dig in?
**** knows

404 is now a terrorist organization - it is no longer a sovereign state. It deserves to be wiped off the map. It was inevitable in any case.
