Russian special military operation in Ukraine #56

first time that Ukraine attacked with more than 100 long range attack drones

One attack every few weeks and some dudes are getting a hard d...
In the meantime Russia is using the same ammount or more drones daily.
Without the whole of NATO helping/paying.

Dragon teeth in Ukraine

They have nice generals.



Julian claims that only 5% of Western power has held Russia back for 27 months.

Those guys have had mental issues for a while.

More realistic

Add to that all the MIA and WIA and we are in the 1,5 million losses area.

Wow it must have been a miracle 

It´s called jamming. 

Sad news from Washington Post

Ukros "captured" the grey zone. Nothing more.

They stole the money

Why are they surprised?

They have nice generals.

No Transgenders this time?

with 5% of our defence means or in other words 0.1% of our GDP.

They really believe that shit. 

They got rid of most equipment reserves, thinking it would be good for the speculators and for the people who could get some cuts from the contracts for the new equipment.

If there was a corruption inside russian MOD, for west MOD you have to at least double it, if not multiply it by 5.
With the difference that Russia got the opportunity to clean house and improve the situation.

Furthermore they do not care how much impact all of this will have on the normal people in their countries.

Finally the new equipment will take a lot of time to be produced, and in the meanwhile their army will be able to wage war for about two weeks before having to give up.

Last important point, Russia is working much more in dual use, so a lot of the expenses now for the defense industry will be able to allow civilian production when the war will be finished.

And finally russian GDP mainly reflects real production, while a large part of western GDP is based on financial frauds, artistic bookkeeping or over evaluation of some IT stuff.

Matrix was not a sci-fi but a documentary.

We have major milestone - it is first time that Ukraine attacked with more than 100 long range attack drones at once.

Yeah, and at 200K per drone that probably cost them 20 million US dollars... that is really money very well spent isn't it?

You are clearly not a US taxpayer, but these are EU dollars too...

I am hoping they will be able to increase that number steadily next few months, why not to be able to send 200-300 or later even 500-1000, what would air defence do then he he he.

Even if they could expand their launches like that, the launch positions and production sites would be located and destroyed and then the power and transport infrastructure will be damaged... but of course your drone makers will have to be women because all the men will be going to the front to get killed by Russian artillery.

PS. Their long range attack drones are getting heavier (payload of 75 kg), with longer range and are getting hardened against jamming... so they are doing decent job in my eyes.

Except the targets they are hitting are not significant to the military situation you find yourself in...

Your best result was to surrender three years ago, but keep fighting... it will only get worse.

Shelters are one thing, the exact location of the Mig-31K is another. Why are these two standing exactly where they stood?

There would be very little reason at all to base operational planes there... are you sure these planes were MiG-31Ks? Were they even operational?

Their destruction still hurts the VKS at large despite positive production numbers and gives points to NATO's aim at weakening the Russian Federation.

The key thing is that those points are not transferable... they can't use those points to buy more trained soldiers and more ammo and weapons that actually work well rather than are more of a burden than are actually useful to those few trained troops you do have.

HATO wants thing it can go to the table with to say we can do this and this to hurt you so we want this and this... but all they have is that this and this did damage when we first used it but then you started shooting them down and all we could do with them was hit unprotected civilian targets with it instead.

The people on the ground getting their draft papers and orders to go to the front don't give a shit how many civilians or fuel refineries have been hit...

Even though the latter is doing a much better job at weakening NATO itself and eventually avoiding the larger conflict in SE Asia in the long run.

Not sure that is true... one could say Putin was given no choice in Europe... if Putin did not attack at the end of February then Zelensky would have attacked mid March.. either way there was going to be war... I rather suspect in Asia it will either be India vs China if they can manage it or China vs Taiwan... they wont be upset which works out but I suspect they will think India will do more damage to China than Taiwan could possibly too so I suspect that is the outcome they prefer...

Here is another batch of members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who made the right choice. Now they will live.

As long as their own side doesn't find out where they will be held and bomb it...

With the difference that Russia got the opportunity to clean house and improve the situation.

The difference is that Russia sees corruption as a crime, while in the west it is a retirement plan...

Yes, the old "I reject your reality, and replace it with my own world view where I win and you lose".

Denial only works in propaganda and books and movies you make yourself.

... but ... but ... but ... they flamed up a fuel tank in a middle of nowhere!

"Static" front means less collateral damage inflicted to the infrastructure.
As long as conflict is being carried at +/- 100 km wide belt - it is a part that will need rebuilding.
If you can destroy an opponent's army in a limited area, later gains will be less costly to refurbish. As easy as that.

By the way, I have just started a new construction project and hired my proven Ukrainian team.
This time, they have arrived not in a strength of two, but ... five.
All in a clear mobilization age.
Three new ones escaped lately from conscription.
The old team does not even care about what is going on in Ukraine, they have fully resettled here.
One is already in relation with a local girl, the other is here with his wife and two kids.
They have even stopped to watch the news, they don't care.
Ukraine is no more - this is what they are saying.
The sole concern they have is if they are to be deported.
If so, they will run away, and the direction is either Belarus or Russia.
As the guys are decent men, skilled and hard working builders, they can settle comfortably in Russia at any single moment.
Quite an interesting development, if you are asking me.
