    Last offensive to Avdiivka may really cripple Ukrainian efforts to hold their defensive line, but has to be quick enough not to let Ukr withdrawal.

    If Ukrainians lose there, given the fact that their counteroffensive is not going well, their morale would crush uncontrollably.

    Personally Trump showed his true colours when he ordered the assassination Soleimani and when he failed to pardon Assange. Instead he pardoned a war criminal. He will stab Putin in the back when he gets his chance without blinking an eye.

In this war, neither side is able to make a breakthrough on the battlefield. Russia still has too few forces to defeat the Ukrainian defense.

    Some success in Terrikon, took the hights. Might pave way to further moves. Too bad that cost was quite high, at least In machinery. No clue about infantry losses

    This is for this fiscal year. Money for next year might be smaller, because of situation in Israel and elections, but it will not be zero. Biden already spoke about coming up with one package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. How much will go to Ukraine, is not clear.

    It is reported that currently, on the Avdeevka front, fighters from the PMC "Wagner," who have signed a contract with the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation and work for PMC "Redut," are operating as part of the assault groups.

    The precise number of fighters is unknown.

    However, it has been reported that at least 5,000 fighters are involved in the assault on the Avdeevka front.

    Avdeevka will become a barometer now. This is not just another siege of another small town, and it's not (only) about getting the Banderite hand off the throat of Donetsk: it's a question of whether the war will remain in “capture three streets a month” mode or not.

    The United States will soon transfer to Ukraine a large batch of Switchblade 600 loitering ammunition, - Newsweek

    Switchblade 600 is designed to destroy tanks and armored vehicles. The projectile can loiter in the air for more than 40 minutes waiting for a target. Its range is up to 90 km.

    I'm starting to think Trump is a great guy. A friend of the world who did not wage a single war.


    To his credit he did several good things, 1 did not start wars, 2 started surrender negotiations with the taliban, 3 undertook justice reform which is badly needed in the USA and a political hot potato. But unfortunately he is a complete asshole and also did terrible things like ordering the murder of gen solimani and ending the Iran nuclear deal which made the world more dangerous and hurt innocent Iranians. Oh one GREAT thing he did was found OPEC + lol. Yeah gotta give it to the Donald. That really cemented Saudi/Russian relations.  

    Don't forget that he abandoned the INF treaty against IRBM/MRMBs in Europe, recognised the zio annexation of the Golan Heights and moved the US embassy to Occupied Jerusalem.

    I wish him luck in taking the presidency in 2024, starting the big job of dismantling the criminally corrupt US Deep State, hopefully putting Killary into slam as she so richly deserves, but the man himself is a bit of cnt.

    I'm starting to think Trump is a great guy. A friend of the world who did not wage a single war.

    The problem is that he is not very smart... all they had to do was call him Putins puppet and he imposed more anti Russian sanctions than Obama did before him... and Obama wasn't interested in cooperating with the Third world Gas station masquerading as a country.

    Maybe Russia should quietly whisper to the US that Switchblades going to Ukraine will be matched by Lancets going to Hamas...

    Or perhaps captured Switchblades will be donated to Hamas.

    He had his chance to do both but did a complete 180 on almost all of his campaign promises, after all, he IS a politician. Rather than drain the swamp he filled it up with swamp creatures like John Bolton and Pompous Mike Pompeo. But I'm sure it'll be different this time, right?

    Leaving the INF Treaty will be good for Russia.

    INF treaty is already gone so Russia is now free to create and deploy ground based missiles in the gaps they previously had... essentially they had Short range missiles (cruise and ballistic) and they had ICBMs or intercontinental ballistic missiles... so up to 500km range and 5,500km or more, what they were missing was the ground launched Medium and Intermediate range weapons... MRBM and IRBM or MRCM and IRCM, which they are now free to develop and deploy if they want.

    The amusing thing is that now they have working scramjet engines most are likely to be much faster and much smaller and lighter and much longer ranged than they would have otherwise have been.
