Geran is much bigger. And why would Russians use a SIM card from Kiev?

So it can operate behind enemy lines, connect to enemy mobile networks, identify targets and report back, probably through dark web encrypted sites. Use the enemies own infrastructure against them.

The full story apparently states that these alleged Gerasimov-Zalnazi "talks" has Gerasimov agreeing in principle to Ukropistan joining NATO as long as they commit to allowing no foreign forces on Ukropi territory

No chance that such a thing will ever happen, and of course Gerasimov has absolutely ZERO authority from the Russian gov to negotiate any such thing.  This tells me that the story is based on misinfo.  

Maybe its part of a psyop intended to sow extra distrust between Zelly Coke Boy and Zully Bandera Lover?  Those two clearly hate each other and very much want the others demise, but they are currently blocked by the other factions supporters and can't act decisely.

A female voice was chosen back in the 70´s so that the pilot knows it´s the warning system of his aircraft and
not some command from his superiour on the ground.

Is that true? This assumes there were no female radio operators in the 1970s, which could be true, but what if it isn't?

When they talked about this system in a computer design course at university they said that a female voice was more calming in a stressful situation and that the pilot was less likely to ignore a female voice telling them to eject or pull up.

So the plan is obvious, the Americans will allow intrigues to develop, but will not allow Russia to win without their own plans put into action - which would involve sending Zaluzhny as a double agent, to negotiate a Minsk 3

I fully doubt that Putin would talk peace that involved America or anyone America supported, such a deal is worthless and would be used as a cover to keep control of resources of Ukraine and also to eventually build Ukraine back up for round two later on.

Russia is talking about 2024 and 2025 to show they are not interested in peace if it does not solve any of their fundamental problems and that the war will continue until their terms are met because they know until their terms are met any peace wont be peace... it will just be a frozen conflict that the west can reactivate any time it wants... like north vs south korea or taiwan vs china...

Although noone in Russia wants this deal, if they cannot get advantages on the ground, then they will lose the war - post 2025, NATO will reach the desired production volumes of 155mm, and Ukraine already matches Russia for Drone volume, having enough to spare on individual servicemen as we see on endless Twitter videos, and they also look to reaching adequate volumes of HIMARS, Air defense, EW, and other important factors for Ukraine

Even if this goes on for 10 more years the west wont get the upper hand... it really has nothing to do with production levels... Russia controls the air so if they sent in 100,000 tons of weapons and ammo and fuel the Russians would just blow it up before it can be used, and the few people they have to operate this stuff continues to dwindle... this winter I would expect quite a few to surrender and as surrenders increase the unity of Kievs military will crack... especially as they wont make any headway and especially if Russia ups the ante by attacking infrastructure... Russia could force things to a head any time they want by taking out transport infrastructure and economic targets.

The US embassy should be destroyed in my opinion because it is clearly not an embassy and is probably actually running the whole war for the Ukrainians from there.

When wars start you look to where you can hide stuff... shopping malls and hospitals and in residential areas in cities, but the embassies of friendly governments will be another place to hide stuff you don't want destroyed. When the grain deal was running lots of stuff was hidden in grain stores and infrastructure linked with the production and transport of grain... being able to hit that would seriously damage them.

The western support for Kiev is partly because western companies own assets in Ukraine that are still making lots of money... grain, mines, other assets... start destroying those and the west no longer has an economic interest in the place...

So Russia has 2 years, 2024-2025 to win, or if Ukraine survives to 2026, it will be a defeat for Russia, with the only caveat, that if Ukraine take back all their territories, the land itself will be ruined and Ukraine remains a dead country

Bullshit. Ukraine is currently pedalling at top speed just to remain a viable country and for that to happen they need hundreds of billions of money from the west every year... money that is already drying up. Russian forces have been letting them lose men and material smashing against their lines while practising learning to fight with drones and new equipment... Russian forces have been nice, but they could easily be brutal if they wanted to speed things up.

It is impossible to negotiate anything with Zelensky because he can't be trusted, but I suspect they will prefer that Ukrainians eliminate him and replace him with someone more moderate and acceptable to Russia... if they replace him with a nazi or someone more hard line then I suspect they will take out such a government and start playing hard ball to make the Americans and pro American locals up and leave the scene of the crime with their ill gotten gains.

But given what Russia has paid in blood and material, I don't see Moscow surviving if they do not provide a military-political solution to the "stalemate"

Moscow is in a dominant position right now and Kiev is in the number twos and you talk about the survival of Moscow?

This is why I don't agree with you more often, you are emotional to the point of masochism.

Ukraine blew up a fuel train in a tunnel no less on the mainline to China in Buryatia


https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/12/01/shoigu-says-125k-ukrainian-troops-killed-in-counteroffensive-a83283

Russia needs to hit all SBU offices, kill as many of there agents and there support staff as possible

Stop following the Moscow Times... they are anti Russian and very few actual Russians read that shit... this newspaper is a propaganda rag that does no sell copies... copies were left at train stations and bus stations and in malls and air ports for people to pick up and read for free... it is paid for by the CIA and its intention is to sow discontent with english speaking people in Russia...

Meanwhile, the Russians are advancing in every direction, taking advantage of the confusion in the Ukrainian government.

Confusion has nothing to do with anything... when you set up a defensive line several layers deep to stop an enemy counter offensive and your layers stop that counter offensive over a period of three months causing enormous casualties to enemy forces, then of course when that offensive peters out you know he will be low on manpower and reserves and equipment so of course you would then put pressure on his forces all along the line because he wont have the reserves or resources to deal with a lot of attacks at one time because his reserves will be depleted... it is the best time and best way to strike back and damage his lines.

I suspect that many men have heard that or a similar command in their lives

NATO will reach the desired production volumes of 155mm

Even if that happens, they will be much lower than the current russian production levels.

Ukraine already matches Russia for Drone volume

Even fanatical Ukro fighters have a different opinion on that.

if Ukraine take back all their territories

With whom? 8 year old kids?

Reaction of AFU soldiers after receiving "more" ammunition

If they use them carefully the supply will last a week.

Use the enemies own infrastructure against them.

Or the drone was a trick to force the Ukros to shut down parts of their mobile phone network...

The Russian General Staff have officially thanked her for her supporting efforts, but also advise that its not strictly necessary.

Russians fight better in snow.

No chance that such a thing will ever happen, and of course Gerasimov has absolutely ZERO authority from the Russian gov

The only thing Gerasimov will be taking with that dickhead is the total surrender of all Ukro troops.
Maybe some POW exchange.

This assumes there were no female radio operators in the 1970s

At least their were no Intercept Officers, the people mostly speaking to fighter pilots except air traffic controllers.

if they cannot get advantages on the ground,

Ukraine already matches Russia for Drone volume

Even fanatical Ukro fighters have a different opinion on that.

Article a week ago from Ukrainian sources were complaining that the Russians were out producing them in Drones at least 6 to 1. Article also stated that Drones were being manufactured at 200+ locations in Ukraine.

There are enough videos showing Ukro drones hitting individual Russian servicemen as of today

They can spare drones

What they need are artillery, air defenses, and extended range missiles

Ofc I am not saying Ukraine will win this moment, or even next year, but if they can get those supplies to flow, and they can increase stocks of weapons it will pose a significant challenge

Also realize that Ukraine is starting to dig in, reports are coming in that they are pouring concrete, digging trenches, and increasing earthworks

This means that if they are given time, they will build another donbass, which is the worse possible thing -

Zaluzhny is much smarter from a military perspective, he won't throw meat assaults like zelensky, he is going to conserve his manpower and dig in, making advances costly for Russia

In other words, he will give up territory for manpower, like Russia did

Notice Zelensky has now supported this idea, not that he has another choice, but the entire VSU is digging in now, and if they are given time, it can become a grave problem, literally

No reason why Russia can not follow a multi- pronged policy in Ukraine . As long as any element or activity does not interfere or contradict others . I have said before that in unknown environment a Swiss Army knife or generalist approach is best ( including weapons use and design ) , rather than solely perusing a one track policy of putting all your Eggs in one Basket and drive in a 2CV , across a field to see if they break or not . Therefore all these policies can be conducted simultaneously and empirical results recorded : ( 1 ) Direct talks with NATO over partition and arms limitations for Kiev . ( 2 ) Meat - Grinder to keep on churning . ( 3 ) Talks with any Ukrainian that wants to talk . ( 4 ) Eliminating any Orc Ukrainian that does not want to talk . ( 5 ) Taking out infrastructure , in case it can not be captured . ( 6 ) Saving infrastructure that can be captured . ( 7 ) planning to evacuate to Russia , anyone wishing to leave . ( 8 ) planning to protect anyone , wishing to stay . ( 9 ) Arming partisans in some area to fight the Orcs .......

Pouring concrete in wet, muddy, and freezing conditions is the worst possible environment to be doing such. And I am sure while trying to do so they will be attacked with drones and artillery which will slow things down even further. Ukraine won't last two years, if u see how much they have lost since the start of the conflict and that was while they had actual troops, equipment, and full NATO support. The casualties will be even higher soon with ill trained civilians, most of which are forced to fight adolescents, pensioners and the disabled. As for digging in it's pretty pointless Russia has massive volumes of artillery, drones, FAB, and TOS, which we have seen doing massive damage to Ukrainian lines. And bear in mind these Ukrainians aren't proper soldiers but forced, ill trained civilians as mentioned above, they will just surrender, refuse to fight, or kill themselves.

NATO countries are running out of ammo and equipment, and can't keep up with Ukrainian demand, then add to that countries who are tired or simply given up on supplying equipment. The last package was pretty pitiful. Winter conditions is only going to decrease morale and increase surrenders.

I really think Ukraine will collapse within months, that could be a military coup, or mass surrenders or refusal of troops to fight.. either way it will likely happen.

Digging in was my suggestion from the very start, Ukraine could not hope to do anything offensively and by digging in you eliminate lots of Russia's advantages, that was the only feasible ways to fight and why the russians need to end this faster then they are.

As for how many years Ukraine has left before they fall 4-5 tops. That is if russia keeps up at the pace they are going it would be shorter if they where making multi fronts

Their only real hope is to inflict massive KIAs the russians in a defensive war and then settle for a peace deal where you have to surrender some territory.

With all due respect, its wishful thinking

First off, those teraborona kept the 40km Russian column from taking Brovary, Irpen, and other such areas

In defense, untrained civilians can do a lot - if all they do is man a trench or a bunker

You don't have to train them for assault

And secondly, have you seen donetsk? What has TOS, FAB, and other weapons done to dislodge the defenders? Every meter is fought for in blood

Sure Russia can spend its manpower in grinding down places like Avdeevka, Toretsk, New York, Konstantinovka and so on, once they take Kramatorsk they will just have more fortifications to dismantle once Ukrainians dig the trench complex along Poltava-Pokrovsk

As for ammo, sure there's a shortage now, but in 2 years, USA, South Korea, and NATO will reach parity with Russia

It's a time equation , Russia can also increase production, but it will need it's own stocks of ammo

Maybe North Korea can step in to supplant ammo, but it will be tough without mobilizing additional resources to commit to production

The way I see it, Russia needs to end the war by 2025, or face a revamped NATO

The only way to do that, is to activate the Gaza option

This is what i advocated at the beginning, but many members said it was stupid, because Russia had to save the poor Ukrainians that are held against their will, yes poor Ukrainians, 1 million dead voluntarily

Given the realities, saving Ukraine is not an option, they will fight for every meter, so the only option is to destroy it all,

The choice to grind Ukraine makes sense if you can force surrender on your own terms

But if they survive until 2026, the questions gets thrown into the air

Israel showed how to enter a city like Gaza, they bombed corridors for their troops to enter, and then they slowly clear it out

Russia can launch multiple Gazas, and who gives a shit what international community thinks - it hasn't stopped Israel

Early human factors research in aircraft and other domains indicated that female voices were more authoritative to male pilots and crew members and were more likely to get their attention.

So you think a trained pilot would not take orders??

@ark, you talk as if these civilians are robots. Civilians are NOT soldiers and sticking them in a uniform, armed with a gun and put into trench doesn't make them one either. If u have ever served in the army you will have seen many people go through training and not make it, I saw hundreds leave back in 1998, and this was just TRAINING not war, with war comes fear, especially when Ur forced to fight, whats more scary is when u know u haven't had good quality training either meaning your not trained to do the job and you don't feel confident in doing the job. Firing blindly over your head in trench isn't going to achieve anything other than waste precious ammo, now factor in watching the people next to get killed and wounded and the psychological effects of that on a civilian who's already got low morale, now add in the freezing weather, and suddenly u have a civvie wanting to give up. The hype of going to war, and protecting your country is over for Ukraine. Had this been the first few months of the war then many would think they are John Rambo and wanting to put their bodies on the line but things have changed, they know they are losing and losing a lot.

As for ammo yes there is little to no ammo. And yes maybe USA production might be at better levels in two years, but that doesn't mean Russia is going to stop and wait for that as if it's the play fair fight game. Ukraine can't wait two years, and Russia won't hang around waiting for it either. The west has exhausted armoured vehicle supplies, sending the odd piece now and then isn't going to work. Money is drying up for Ukraine as support dwindles as well. And who else will they have left in their ranks in two years? Ukraines population has declined through death or fleeing the country and the rest are wounded to the point of severe disablement. And I don't see more mercs joining. The fact that after this length of time during the the war they have had to rely on younger teenagers, pensioners, women, says it all. What option is left? raid kindergartens and mental asylums? They have literally no air force, zero navy, and an army that's running low on everything. Their economy is in tatters, their infrastructure in ruins, and political backstabbing, and a coke head in charge (for now) if you think that's a recipe for success or saviour for the next two years then you must be out of your mind.

As for Israel well Israel gets away with murder and faces zero sanctions for doing such scorched earth and genocide tactics while if Russia did it, well it be a different story just look at what BS stories, accusations, dramas, they have faked against them already. And to add the biggest sanctions package ever. We have already seen fairly decent amounts of surrenders so far, and they will increase as the war goes on. And it gets to a point it just completely folds. Ukrainians won't fight every meter if you seen what they have lost already there wouldn't be enough troops to cover lines falling back to central Ukraine

Our source reports that no money was budgeted for the construction of defense structures and “lines,” which everyone in Ukraine began to talk about so en masse. This means they will take from the military budget for the purchase of weapons and simply from the general budget of the country, cutting off other sectors.
The construction of defense structures has already been estimated at at least $40 billion.
Now they will try to extort money from the West, but the partners will give “crumbs”. Which means that they will build the defense slowly and steal a lot, as with Yatsenyuk’s wall.
As a result, it may turn out that according to the documents there are structures, but in fact they are not.

Not having the money doesn't mean they cannot get it during wartime a government can seize whatever it wants resource wise as defense of the state, in otherwords the idea that Ukraine cannot afford it therefore they cannot make it is 100 percent false long as its within the land they control

Zionistan nazis get away with their deliberate genocide in Gaza because Jewish money has occupied the US Congress and those selfish incompetent political whores will do anything to keep their fat useless corrupt arses in power, and they need Jewish money to make that happen. Control the leadership class of the current (but fading) unipolar moment and you also control the leadership of "international" organisations (eg OSCE, ICC, OPCW, World Bank & IMF, IOC etc etc), and can bend them to the will of globalist elites.

If Russia were to do the same as Zionistan in Gaza then the outcry from the "moral West" with its overwhelming concern for "human rights" would be ear-splitting.

Sociopathic hypocrites like the current crop of Western "leaders" have no sense of shame and have no ability to self-reflect and examine their own actions. They will continue to double down and project their ideology without pause, but this psychotic single-mindedness to dominate and bind the rest of the planet into permanent subserviance shall be their undoing as the West slides further and the rest of humanity overtakes them in terms of real-world economy and geo-politics. BRICS+ will lead the way as the central focus of anti-NWO action, but IMHO this will movement be far larger still as it will encompass a large majority of the world, and the global humanity will no longer tolerate this outright criminality.

The Russian Army must be quaking in their boots at the prospect of having to face AFU units that have been "bolstered" with an influx of such people. Their willingness to fight and die for Zellie and his new Florida mansions is clearly something to be feared...

They say that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are thoroughly preparing for the final stage of the counter-offensive

Inflatable mock-ups of the M270 MLRS from the Lithuanian company Aviatema are already at the front.

Ukraine is BANKRUPT, the US is ditching them as they have FAILED in their misison, while the Eurotrash are facing an ever-worsening economic downturn and simply don't have the cajones to step up to the plate and keep the war going on their own resources. Ukraine doesn't have 8 years to erect Donbass Mk 2 defences, and their manpower reserves are critical such that need to employ women in the trenches and forceably mobilise anyone between the ages of 16 and 70

Yeah sure, this is the formula for success.

The logic of mockups doesn't quite have the same ring to it when a battlefield is full of FPV drones that cost a fraction of the mockup...

Let NATO waste their time and money on useless junk. NATOstan lays plans to spend more resources than the Russians, yet we are supposed to think this a step towards a NATO "victory"?

This incident has nothing to do with teribona "skills" and everything to do with Russians in that column being retarded

Why were they moving in 40km column through the enemy territory in the middle of the war?

Did they really expect to just stroll in the enemy capitol and be welcomed as liberators or some such shit?

I guess nobody explained these military "geniuses" the simple concept of frontline (shows up often in wars, imagine that?)

Stupid is stupid does...
