Feel the pressure rise... Hear the whistle blow...

Yup, the Ukies have Gone Shooting (old AC/DC song, for those unacquainted with Australian High Culture )

Zelensky’s nuclear option: Ukraine ‘months away’ from bomb

Absurd Ukropi attempts at scare mongering.  How does Ukraine build a nuclear bomb?  They don't have any uranium enrichment and the development of the required centifuge trains is both unaffordable and beyond their technical abilities.  They could try to make plutonium by irridating fuel assemblies in their remaining RMBK reactors (which unlike PWRs can have fuel rods inserted/removed while the reactor is online and generating electrical power) but where would they get the fuel rod assemblies, and how would they then process the hot fuel rods and seperate out the plutonium?  AFAIK attempts by Westinghouse to develop rods for Ukie reactors has been a failure, and Ukr does not have fuel reprocessing facilities (fuel supplies came from Russia).

Bandera scum are crying wolf in an attempt to rattle the nerves of the Eurotrash muppets. Ignore their white noise and keep the drones, arty & missiles flying.

Kyiv could rapidly develop a rudimentary weapon similar to that dropped on Nagasaki in 1945 to stop Russia if the US cuts military aid

Let's say Ukraine was able to make a nuclear bomb. So what?
This completely legitimizes the destruction of Ukraine.
This completely frees Russia's hands - up to nuclear strikes on Ukraine.
The difference is that Ukraine will have ONE bomb. Russia has thousands of them.
NATO countries automatically turn out to be aggressors supporting a nuclear strike against Russia - which means that the strike will be inflicted not only on Ukraine, but also on all those involved in the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The whole situation is turning into a full-scale nuclear exchange. The end of civilization on Earth.

Russian MBTs have LWR as standard. They mothballed the Copperhead because shining a laser designator on a Russian tank was like wearing a giant kick me sign that earned you a 125 mm HE shell to the face before you can finish the guidance sequence. Incidentally the LWR allowed Russian MBTs to respond shot for shot even under ambush conditions, nullifying much of the advantage of firing under defilade.

I would also hazard a guess that most configs of the cage armor would heavily occlude the laser anyway. Don`t see much Krasnopol use as of late as well.

.....

He could have at least said Hiroshima because that one actually was rudimentary but these morons think that body count equals complexity

True all of it. Means their losses are also dramatically smaller, so Russia can be at war with the West, while economy grows and society at large remains undisturbed by the events at the front.

Nice try by NATO, but it was too obvious and Russia shaped the conflict in a way she can sustain almost forever. They will keep chewing away one proxy after the other, until NATO is expelled of the whole Eastern Europe. How far it will end depends on the West alone.

The question is, will Pokrovsk fall before Russian units reach it from the south?

Also, will there be an attack on Pavlohrad once Pokrovsk falls?

Obviously, all the defence of Donbass and of left bank 404 in fact depends on the frontline prepared by NATO as a trap for the Russian army, with a series of optimally chosen and thoroughly fortified towns that could withstand practically any scale of artillery supported infantry assault. NATO command expected Russians could not do anything to prevent falling in the trap and were ready to bath in Russian blood with their smart plan. Then the mitigation measures by the general staff and the UPMKs came, and we know the rest. Happened in Ugledar, Avdeevka and will happen with the rest of fortress towns: once the main line falls, the UAF East of the Dnieper will be annihilated.

Logistics also plays in the enemy's favor: it is easier for the Ukrainian army to transfer troops along internal communication lines than for the Russian Armed Forces along external ones.

Who wrote this piece of shite? The Russian Army has way more trucks, their roads and railway lines aren´t under enemy fire control.
And those lines aren´t external, because the Russian Army is fighting on Russian territory.

There are good reasons why Ukies use (stolen) civilian cars and vans for troop transports....

Russian MoD reporting 2455 Ukrainian casualties over the past 24 hours including Kursk;

During the day, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to 430 servicemen, ten tanks, two infantry fighting vehicles, 19 armored combat vehicles, 33 vehicles, the Enclave-N electronic warfare station, seven field artillery guns, including two 155-mm Bogdan self-propelled artillery installations, two 122-mm howitzers-30 and 105 mm M101 cannon.

They should just use hearses to take troops to the front and meat trucks to take them back.

Nukes are useful in most cases and for nation states , to keep wars limited at least . But in a few cases this does not apply : ( 1 ) Terror groups of annihilistic ideology , Such as ISIS , Baader Meinhof gang . ( 2 ) Use against nations without nukes . ( 3 ) Orcs or proxy forces , backed by globalists or globalist forces with retreats in remote Islands or substantial nuclear shelters . The idea being one of nuclear hit and run . But a nation state can hit but not run . Therefore nukes useful for nation states , under public control . Still if the Orcs can not produce nukes , they can hit nuclear reactors in Russia , as happened once already , or use chemical or biological weapons .

The shape of cauldron is good , but can be improved . Like the teeth of predator , the frontal teeth are narrow or long , and back teeth are short and fat . The frontal teeth being narrow , allow insertion deep into prey , to trap or hold . The rear teeth do the job of grind or pulverize . In this case , the frontal teeth need to be of longer penetration .

Laser guided rounds are being used by Russian arty , to hunt Tanks ? And bunkers for a long time ? Perhaps more limited because of cost . So a Tank  can also fire a laser anti- Tank , guided Tank shell , in indirect shooting . I don't see a problem . That is if they have them . If not then plenty of ATGM's available . Trump sent a peace envoy ? Surrounded himself with war mongering Zionists ! A lot of noise , a loud Trumpet !



Yes same old evangelical " Christian , " Zionists , looking for end of times , now have found their Trumpet ! God save us all !

None of the people's love, o poet, hanker after!
The fleeting noise of adulation will have passed;
You'll hear judgement from buffoons and crouds' chilling laughter -
All that aside, you, be serene and sullen and steadfast.

Kupyansk Offensive: Russian Troops Advance on Key Defence Hub in Kharkov Region, 11.14.2024.

Russian forces are solidifying their positions on the outskirts of Kupyansk in the Kharkov region, Vitaly Ganchev, head of the Russian administration in the area, told Sputnik.

"Our assault groups are working to secure positions on the outskirts of Kupyansk," Ganchev said.

He added that offensive operations continue to the northeast and southeast of the city.

"A fairly large grouping of Ukrainian forces may find itself in a partial encirclement," the regional head noted.

Kupyansk is a key city for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defence in the eastern part of the Kharkov region. Situated on the Oskol River, which divides the city into two parts, it serves as a natural defensive line and barrier. The liberation of Kupyansk would create opportunities for crossing the Oskol River and advancing further west into the region.

Earlier in November, President Vladimir Putin announced that Russian forces had encircled two enemy groups in the Kupyansk direction.

One of the groups, made up of about 10,000 troops, had been pressed against a reservoir, while another group of around 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers was trapped in a separate area.

good, if I were Putin I would offer a chance for any global south Army that wants to learn how to fight the imperialist bloc and/or to test their equipment to come to the front. US and NATO want to send mercs, let those mercs have to deal with actual armies.

I love the smell of roasting Ukrop in the morning. It smells like slava Rossiya.

"The Koksan is the second largest howitzer in the world, exceeded in size only by the Soviet 2S7M Malka currently fielded by both Russia and Ukraine. Unlike the Soviet system, however, which has a relatively short range and was only ever fielded in a small number of units, the Koksan is very widely deployed by the Korean People’s Army and has one of the world’s longest ranges."

Now this is what I'm talking about. NK has a lot of weapons to offer and great way to test.

Would love to see NKs newest tank too.
