Shooting down F-16's will be easy after they've honed their skills on cruise missiles for 8 months

Quite old, but good video explaining Russian doomers

I would say the MIG-31 has stood the tests of time much better then its contemporaries. The concept was never fully tested and all it needed was the Kinzhal missille and improvments to the R-37 to become a true silver bullet. with its mega 82K feet service ceiling the F-22 is no longer stealthy trundling along at 60K feet.

During the summer defensive campaign, Russia inflicted serious damage on the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was stated in an interview with the HKCM YouTube channel by the former head of the NATO military committee, General Harald Kujat.

“In reality, the situation can be described as follows: the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are exorbitant, especially during the offensive,” Kuyat noted.

At the same time, according to him, the Russian Armed Forces, on the contrary, used defensive tactics and switched to strategic defense. Kuyat said that the goal of the Russian army is not to retain territories at any cost, but to destroy the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In this regard, he believes that the Russian Armed Forces adhere to the rule of the Prussian military leader Carl von Clausewitz, which states: disarm the enemy - and then everything else will happen almost by itself. The former commander of NATO troops expressed the opinion that this is exactly what the Russian Armed Forces have achieved, and now we are talking about active defense.

During the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Russia managed to accumulate reserves to organize its own offensive. Kuyat pointed out that some attempts are already being successfully made on the front sector near Liman and Kupyansk. According to his assumptions, at some point the Russian Armed Forces will launch a powerful offensive, since huge forces are concentrated in the rear.

The ex-commander of NATO troops expressed the opinion that the Russian army will try to gain a foothold in its occupied positions and reach the former administrative borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics. However, he noted that two other regions are also important - Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. In addition, Kuyat believes that Russian forces will try to take Odessa, and then attempt to reach Transnistria. He stressed that this is a “minimum option.”

the latest nonsense from Ukraine, claiming there is no ethnic Russian minority in Ukraine, this as Ukraine is being put under pressure by the EU to stop discriminating against minority languages, except for Russian

Well technically they are not wrong. Russians and the Russian language is the majority in the Ukraine. Over 70% speak Russian, the minority speaks actual Ukrainian and by ethnicity the vast majority over 80% are Russian.

Russian Armed Forces adhere to the rule of the Prussian military leader Carl von Clausewitz,

Well, Clausewitz learned that lesson as he was an observer in the General Staff of the Russian Army during the war against Napoleon.

The reason why anti Russian sentiment exists in Ukraine, is because racism and hatred are the state ideology

This is something enforced at a state level, and then all the effects through social media, officials, TV, and all other means of influence repeat the same thing without any filter or blockage of this message

That's why the Nazis became so mainstream even though people said afterwards that they themselves were not nazis, because of the proliferation of their ideas, and the mainstream acceptance of it - although it was not allowed at first, it was allowed to fester and then the average person was a swastika waiving fanatic, even if it was just for show

Once Ukraine is brought under military control, and informational/political control, the flow of information should be monitored and filtered, to include healthy ideas and sentiments, and to exclude negative and racist overtones

Same as with Chechnya, the extremists had to be hunted and killed, or exiled before their society was brought in line with a healthy system

Once those voices were removed, and a strong leader with 0 tolerance and loyalty was out into place

The problem disappeared

Now at the individual level there will always be racists, and hateful people, but these people are entitled to their beliefs - it just won't be a cancer which is poisoning the rest of the society

Also Ukraine like Chechnya will have to experience the consequences of their path, which mean examining the deaths of people, and the ruination of their country, which will be decades before it is rebuilt into a new country

Same with Chechnya

In all it is a process, but Ukraine will be a denazified state with pro russian elements, and part of the Russian world in the end

With world’s gaze on Gaza, Ukraine’s leadership is quietly split
Yet an interview with Ukraine’s commander-in-chief last week came through loud and clear, sparking both an internal crisis in Kiev and an international debate on the future of the conflict. General Valery Zaluzhny is the man leading the Ukrainian war against Russia’s invasion. For him to voice publicly that the fighting had reached a stalemate was astonishing, even shocking.

They will bide their time, game the system, pretend to be good citizens, and this took place during the Soviet period.


With regard to the post above about the "pregnant soldier" that might be intentional ploy meant to generate sympathy for their cause.

People will do what they're told

Conformity is normal human behavior

If you tell the chechens and dagestanis to do jihad, and storm an airport, they will

If you tell Ukrainians, they are the master race and they built sumeria, they will believe it with mova and all even if they die by the hundreds of thousands

If you told a Russian he is a slave of the Americans, well he just might believe that too, and let a pawn like Gorbachev or Yeltsin, dissolve the Union

We tend to believe each other when we are in our societies, some of us are more conformist than others, see the Japanese and Koreans

Some of us are a bit more individualist, see the Europeans and Americans (although they are a lot more conforming then they like to admit)

In the end, every people has this tendency, it just needs to be managed - call it cynical, but it is what it is

Every group must be managed with information to cull they're more debase instinct

That's what we did with Chechnya, and we need to implement it in Ukraine

This is what Z is about, modern russification

The Americans do it themselves with democracy

We are just beginning to implement these ideas in practice in the south of Ukraine

And why not?

What good is there for a world without Russia?

Battle for Avdeevka: Unsuccessful Counterattacks and Heavy Losses for the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Russian units, after a successful advance, have now shifted to a defensive and consolidation strategy in the occupied areas around the fortified Avdeevka region. The AFU, in an attempt to counterattack, brought in reinforcements from other directions.
Ukrainian forces operating from Novokalynove aimed to break through to Krasnohorivka, but were unsuccessful.

Today, Russian units managed to cross the railway and swiftly break through to the village of Petrovskoye (Stepovoe).

Russian crews of Ka-52 attack helicopters destroyed Ukrainian strongholds and armored vehicles in the South Donetsk region.

UNITED NATIONS, November 10. /TASS/. More than 5 million people have arrived from Ukraine and the Donbass republics in Russia since the start of the special military operation, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said at an informal Arria formula meeting of the UN Security Council.

"Since the start of the special military operation, Russian regions have accommodated more than 5 million people from Ukraine and the Donbass republics who voluntarily left for our country. Among them there are 730,000 children. An overwhelming majority of these children arrived together with their parents or other relatives. Only 2,000 minors are from DPR and LPR orphanages who have arrived together with the childcare centers’ directors and teachers," Nebenzya said.

It's such a tragedy for NATzO that their puppets couldn't ethnically cleanse ethnic Russians from the Donbass and are going to lose
territory that should never have been part of the absurd Soviet concoction known as Ukraine. Stoltentwat is openly stating that
NATzO's raison d'etre is to exterminate Russians.

There was earlier footage of what seems to be a Su-17 flying in Ukrainian airspace. The origins have the finger pointed at Poland. However Ukraine did have one in service for testing purposes but this would be the first time it's been mentioned during the conflict.
