Tank-on-tank engagements are still rare, far and few between, but dude. When they do occur...

was it the one from twitter vid?

The only one that applies was one that burned.
The engagement distance was much smaller tho.

Its hardly a conspiracy theory.  Why on earth would Ukropisstain conduct a war in this fashion, throwing its troops and equipment headlong into prepared Russian defenses and feeding the subsequent meat grinder with such single-mindedness?

I hate to consider it but it looks like the US is intending to use its puppet Coke-boi Zellie to systematically eradicate the productive male Russian speaking population of Ukraine by forcing Russia to kill them.  Maybe these evil b'stardz think that they will not only win but will ethnically cleanse 0404 and set it up post-war as a loyal Russia-hating satrap where US capital interests own everythng of value, and the locals will be debt-slaves working endlessly to pay off an unpayable debt.

I wouldn't put it past the evil globalist cockroaches that rule the Collective West to implement such a fcked up and diabolical plan...  

I think they believe their own bullshit propaganda and actually thought Russia would collapse... this is 11 rounds of actually rather serious sanctions including removing them from the SWIFT international payment system... most countries would have collapsed after such sanctions... even China... in fact China would have suffered more from the sanctions than anyone else because they are the wests sweat shop so western companies leaving China and cutting them off from international economics would have been brutal.

They probably thought... hey... this war we are starting is perfect... if we make Russia collapse we win, if Russia doesn't collapse we seriously weaken them and with us supplying Ukraine all the weapons and ammo and money they need they can beat weak useless Russia on the battlefield with our super weapons so we win again... they just need Javelin and NLAW and Stinger and Russian air power and armour will be burning all over the place and we win... OK now we need artillery and armour and other stuff as well but we still win... OK so it is not going well on the battlefield... that is just because the sanctions are not instant and it take time for the damage to have an effect on their economy and when it does they will want Putin out because Putin is the problem in all of this...

But now they realise their advisors on Russia are idiots and were wrong from the start, but it is too late.... modern western academia is not producing new experts on Russia that know what they are talking about... advice about how to deal with Russia is no where to be found because the normal diplomacy of the west is to get leverage on the people you are talking to and use power and force to make them do as you want them to do... well Russia and now China and other countries are saying no... even Africa is saying no to Europe... which is actually fantastic for them as well. (Africa, not Europe... though in the long run Europe had no future the way it was behaving anyway so it is ultimately good for them even if they don't see it now).

It is pretty clear with those headlines that the west is shifting to the point where they can say Zelensky is the problem and he will be the one they martyr to try to return to what they had before...

What they don't realise, but Russia has realised now, is that the relationship with the west for Russia was very much like the wests relationship with Africa and Asia and Central and South America and the Pacific Islands... it was a colonial relationship of master and slave, and Russia is not going to want to go back to that ever.

The US killed the golden goose and the Europeans helped them, and now both will suffer for their stupidity and greed... and this is fantastic for Russia and the rest of the world.

Putin might have wished for this decades ago but there is no way he could have turned Russians against the west the way the west has by creating a war and spending their money and ammo and weapons resources and wealth on killing Russians, and ignoring the deaths of Ukrainian civilians leading up to this conflict... it is pretty clear the west considers Ukrainians to be Russians and are totally expendable in their mission to destroy Russia and to get control of their resources...

The real punchline will be that the rich and powerful who thought poking the Bear and poking the Dragon were good ideas will likely be the first to run away from the US and EU when things get tough and infrastructure collapses and the US dollar is not worth anything any more and they will be running to places like Australia and New Zealand or perhaps Africa or Asia or Central or South America with their wealth... converted into the local currencies of course... but what will that mean for the countries they migrate to... will they start funding political parties and taking control and ruining other countries with their BS?

Perhaps a new rule that anyone who has more than 10 million dollars should be super taxed... 85c on the dollar... because they really don't need more money and the locals could do with more money for their health and education systems...

At the very least such laws would stop these monsters coming to your town...

The one I saw, showed the moment when Russkie tank opened fire.

Actually on this edited vid, there is a brighter dot left from the Leopard, and it was the tank location at the moment.



I would judge the distance to be around 100m.

Ukrs don't have trained tankers anymore, itis obviously clear. The training they get in Poland gives them only very, very principals.

Here come the wonderweapon version 28

Media: disassembled F-16 fighters were brought to Ukraine

The long-awaited “package” arrived from Poland this night. It is reported that two trucks with two dismantled American F-16 fighters entered Ukraine. In total, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have five such aircraft at the beginning of November, writes Rybar.

The fact that the fighters were transferred ahead of schedule suggests that the situation with the Ukrainian Air Force is on the verge of stalemate - thanks to the work of the Aerospace Forces, Air Defense and Black Sea Fleet, Ukraine has almost no aircraft left.

Probably the main target of the F-16 will be the MiG-31 and A-50. Fighters can be equipped with various types of air-to-air missiles of the AIM series.

But there is a nuance. As Zaluzhny noted in an already sensational article in The Economist, F-16s “are no longer as useful” as Russia has improved its air defense (we are talking about increasing the range of the S-300 system). According to Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, thanks to this, the F-16s promised to Ukraine will last about 20 days.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson direction continue preparations for crossing the Dnieper. To do this, yesterday they attacked the headquarters of the Dnepr group of forces, the command of which General Teplinsky had recently been appointed (he was not injured), and also unsuccessfully tried to destroy other regional control centers on the Arabat Spit with missiles.

On our bank of the Dnieper, the enemy is constantly transferring small groups of enemy infantry to the area of the settlement of Krynki, yesterday our aviation with volumetric detonating bombs joined the work against the enemy in the indicated village.

On the Zaporozhye front, against the backdrop of worsening weather conditions, the activity of UAVs and enemy artillery in the settlement. Verbovoнe decreased slightly. At Rabotino, anti-tank crews of the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division worked on two enemy armored vehicles, one of them was destroyed.

In the Avdeevka direction, a rocket and bomb attack was carried out on the coke-chemical plant, and an underground ammunition warehouse was destroyed. The enemy is mining the approaches to the industrial zone in anticipation of an assault. They report the advance of our troops to the village of Novokalinovo on the northwestern ledge of the front: the task of cutting the enemy’s rock road from Ocheretino is visible.

East of Andreevka, the enemy is trying to push through our defenses to reach the Kurdyumovka-Artemovsk highway. Our troops have increased the use of FPV drones, they note an increased level of interaction between units of the Russian Armed Forces and a decrease in personnel losses in comparison with the initial period of defense of the front sector.

In addition to the strikes on the Kherson region, yesterday the Armed Forces of Ukraine again tried to attack Crimea with missile weapons. Attacks on the Russian border have been intensified. In the Belgorod region, Shebekino was shelled, two enemy UAVs were shot down over the region. In the Kursk region - 5 strike on the village of Sverdlikovo in Sudzhansky district. In the Bryansk region, our air defense shot down an enemy UAV over the Starodub municipal district. In Donetsk, a girl born in 2001 died from Nazi shelling and four civilians were injured.

stalemate

I guess he means checkmate.

continue preparations for crossing the Dnieper.

Sure. Sending 5 guys in a boat every 2nd day for the last 3 or 4 months is preparation.

The training they get in Poland gives them only very, very principals.

Results for November 01, 2023:
• The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to attack in the same directions,
• In the area of ​​Kleshcheevka and Rabotino the enemy advances several hundred meters.
• The price of the attacks near Rabotino and Avdievka over the last 2 days was the destruction of 11-12 units of Western armored vehicles over the last 2 days (3 Leopards, 3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 3 YPR-765 armored personnel carriers, 1 AS-90 self-propelled guns and 1 or 2 Krab self-propelled guns)

Thats funny.  Old obsolete F-16s are going to threaten the finest high performance interceptor on the planet?  Or the AWACS they work with?



No wonder Ukropisstain is losing so badly.

but not the aircrafts carrying them.

Sure. Only 30+ aircraft were shot down in the last 10 - 14 days.

Not an expert in aviation, not even an enthusiast, but how would it affect 40+ year old airframes and components, this type of disablement?

Video from UA side



This shows how costly is advancing for Russia. And how hard is to sustain such losses, not break and achieve gains. Video is from last month
