Different way to load a truck
Excellent example of how the Orcs are moving military equipment around and why they want civilians to stay near the front line... they are not just meat shields, but are also there to create a demand for trucks and transport of goods and materials within which the military can hide their support.
I am surprised they were this stupid though because all it would take would be a tarp sheet of plastic to cover the rear of this and there would be no way of telling this truck moving armour for the Kiev military and the same truck moving food or clothing or anything else for the civilian population.
The border should be protected, and the case for bigger drones with better optics and better targeting is made
The Russian border is enormous... if you sew up one part nice and tight they will just attack from a different direction or pick the next weakest angle to attack.
These attacks on Russian soil still remind me more of chechen insurgent raids on Nalchik, but with some MRAPs
That is probably the impression they were trying to make but it seems the current standard of Orc soldier is not amazingly high...
Reports are that there are still some fighting and some rumours have it that UA inserted more DRGs too. I guess they have too much vehicles and manpower
Keep using them up in these suicide charges and they wont have lots of vehicles and men for a lot longer.
Which is fine by me of course.
From UA point of view, these raids make perfect sense.
They lost quite a few trained soldiers for the result of 6 injured civilians... lots of men and fuel and ammo and light vehicles for territory they will not even hold... this is a ridiculous joke... there are members here demanding Putin step down and the military planners are incompetent, yet the brains of HATO and the entire west came up with this plan and no one mentions a thing.... breathtaking double standards.
Russian will have to strengthen their garrison and reinforce border-guards, maybe even employ more UAVs to monitor the vast border.
Flying over friendly airspace larger drones are much safer and more efficient at monitoring the ground but even then you could just split up a 100 man force into 30 small groups that cross and move around in single civilian vehicles and then group together where you want to attack... the fact that they attacked at the border suggests they were not confident of crossing a lot of checkpoints and so didn't bother trying to go too deep into Russian territory... which is good news that these chicken littles are ignoring.
More of this to come until Russians will respond with cauterisation
More of this and the Russians might decide that those commanding these forces are actually dangerous instead of just incompetent and some of the high power hierarchy need to be eliminated and oligarchs resources eliminated too to take away their power because they are clearly not interested in the people of the Ukraine.
Its a shortsighted decision based only on greed.
They are not looking for solutions and deescalation.. the cow has too much milk to just walk away... and western taxpayers have learned to be sheep and do and think what they are told by the rich and powerful through the media they own and control.
But then Syrians and Libyans and Iraqis and Iranians and North Koreans and Cubans and Vietnamese and Malaysians and many other people have suffered for the wests greater good morality and values... and oil and the US dollar.
Just wait for 6th gen American, then you'll have to spend for both F-something and his buddy UCAVs.
Why wait when you can relabel... if they put F-16s and F-15s back into production then they become 5+ gen so then F-35 becomes 6 generation and some future project which will likely be a flying wing without a tail will be 7th gen... that no one can afford...
I don't know where I saw this but someone said something not dumb.
US goal right now is to oblige Russia to use its modern missiles to dicrease their stocks.
That would be fantastic because Russia produces weapons and aircraft and drones for itself and it can make weapons faster than the Ukraine can make people.
The sole purpose of this attack is to divert focus from the Berkhmut disaster.
Which is great tactics because this new disaster will make stupid westerners forget about the much bigger disaster that Artyomovsk ended up being for Kiev because westerners have the memory span of a goldfish.
By the way, this was not an attack, it was a suicide mission. Traffickers from Rio's hills and Mexican cartels would do better.
Very true.
The idea here is to be proactive, not to be a passive incompetent moron like Russians defer to when it comes to anything that ever happens that is chalked up to "bad luck" or "shit happening"
The problem is that putting a police officer in everyones house will not eliminate crime... the criminals will simply find some way around it and of course the cost of putting a police officer in everyones house will destroy your budget and take men away from useful work to sit on their arses watching screens of empty roads and fields when they could be better used looking for orcs in the battlefield.
If border security was really a problem these orcs would have taken Bradleys and Challengers and would have attacked significant targets deep in Russian territory, but the fact of the matter is that they could even make it very far into Russian territory before they were spotted and dealt to.
I would say minor upgrades in existing defences so such attacks are detected early and a mobile force perhaps helicopter based to hunt down and kill these cocksuckers.
There is something wrong with people that like photos of dead bodies lined up.
In a big pile or compromising sexual positions would be disrespectful...
Dmitry Medvedev calls them for what they are "Rat Bast*rds", i'm starting to like his change of attitude
The last comment on the video... Russia has vowed to punish the Kiev regime... that would be good.
