  1. Payload is limited on these drones.

  2. ​ @asdf3568 NATO is in Kosovo, but not as an invader.

  3. ​ @frankrenda2519  I distinctly remember Wagner getting cut off from prison recruitment even before the battle for Bakhmut was decided. When you can't regenerate losses by the tens of thousands you're exactly where Ukraine wants you.

  4.  @asdf3568  Russia was the one who invaded.

  5. ​ @alangriffith9453 apples and oranges. It's not that we won't deal with criminals, it's that a country willing to fight will have the punitve aspect of the war as a weight on the scales against a peace deal.

  6. By paying attention to the conflict we also saw propaganda meant for internal consumption. The riddiculousness allows easy detection when similar but less outlandish narratives are published online.

  7. ​ @Anor999  Makes perfect sense. Why do you think prices are always 1.99, 2.99, 3.99 at stores? People look at the whole numbers first, and don't think about the decimals.

  8. Although there is a difference. Deep offensives were a way to exploit battlefield successes by following up breakthroughs. This is a slow trickle that accepts continuous failure.

  9. Ukraine reminds me more of Muhammad Ali versus George Foreman. Russia is punching itself tired.

  10. Russia depleted Kharkiv out of troops to reinforce Kherson to keep it at all costs. The proverbial more mouths to feed arrived right before Ukraine kicked the dinner table down. No such thing is happening here.

  11. ​ @stevealba56  Gold doesn't have the liquidity to handle global trade. Human activity creates wealth faster than gold can be mined.

  12. Armies lose roughly 50% of their combat capacity after 20% casualty rate. That means that for Ukraine to hold, their army would have to be at least 1.5 million large, and recruit those 300k every month. In 22 months of fighting, that's 6.6 million. Your numbers are just impossible.

  13.  @mrsupremegascon  "Russia do the same" okay but Ukrainians already live in Ukraine. Russians NEED good leadership, good supplies, etc. If a Ukrainian general dies that pretty bad, but Ukraine still stands. A Russian general dies, now lesser officers have to get promoted, privates become sergeants and they're all strangers in a strange land who should go back home.

  14. ​ @Chiberia  Sending a F-22 to pop a balloon that's flying higher than any other fighter can reach is perfectly reasonable.

  15. ​ @hendrikvanleeuwen9110  But Wagner was the meatshield for the Russian military. Ukraine needed to wear down their shield before they could produce significant casualties on the real army.

  16. ​ @johntowers1213  If an FSB agent was willing to come forward and say what he thinks, we'd welcome that. In the West we'd call it disagreeing. The FSB agent would be called a traitor.

  17. ​ @happydays4302  You added a quote about Hamas and Hamas only to pad the length of list. Eliminating a political foe is not genocide.

  18. The real cope is that you people posted this comment one and a half years ago.

  19. "They have improved a lot" they threw resources and men away. We were surprised they could mount an offensive. We were even more surprised that offensive ended up like previous ones.

  20. Whether Putin likes it or not, a significant amount of Russian men have been "Westernized". Just the other day I was reading screenshots of a tumblr blog from a young man in Donetsk (not Russia but the point stands) trying to evade mobilization. An artist. Not exactly a macho man.

  21. ​ @ulrikschackmeyer848  They get paid to post. The more the Russian state pays them to post, the less money is available for something else. Their algorithms? Probably hand written by a jaded officer and photocopied in the morning.

  22. ​ @alexeyandreev1208  The economic growth is on paper - it's all Rosstat's own work. No independent researcher can validate that growth. What is a spine worth when you have no arms and legs?

  23. The theory is based on the assumption that all equipment could be unlocked at once. But the fact is that there's resource and time constraints on how much training you can provide, how much we can physically fit in the cargo aircraft and transport trucks, etc. There's an argument to be made that even if fighter jets were approved day one, the training would be ahead of schedule but the deliveries would still be delayed by more critical taking up time, money and space away from the jets because they provide more immediate results.

  24. ​ @ethank5059  Look at it the other way. For example Turkey is using this conflict as a power play, and they back Azerbaijan. This is against Iran's interests. So Iran gets drawn into Russia's geopolitics mess even if they didn't intend to.

  25. 15 Rubles a day keeps the mobilization officer away.

  26. The issue is, such a quick operation will need 2-3 months of obvious buildup.

  27. Russia filled Kherson with manpower prior to the bridges being struck. That means that right before Ukraine depleted their resource supply rate, Russia dramatically increased their need for resources in Kherson. It was a one-two punch combo that rocked them. Ukraine is not over filling their bridgehead with troops in a desperate attempt to hold, nor are they hinging on two easily struck crossings. There's no right cross to the jaw. There isn't even a jab that lifts the head and exposes the chin. The double whammy Russia got in Kherson is not here.

  28. Nice cope.

  29. These drones are small, made of lightweight materials like foam and fiberglass (less radar returns), and fly slow enough that they may be filtered by Doppler radar.

  30. Satellite pictures of Ukrainian airfields seemed to show half the missiles targeting runways missed. A dozen Kinzhal? Not that many have been used.

  31.  @Simon-ow6td  The US went back and forth on the ICC based on the president being a Democrat or Republican. Stop acting like it's a constant policy.

  32. >mfw Japan has F-15s and the F-2 which is based on the F-16

  33. I don't expect riots. The US will be able to sustain Ukraine during the winter. Poland won't budge either.

  34.  @b_traven  What is claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

  35. Close air support can be done with standoff weapons.

  36. Seems like the pressure is real - the operations into Bakmut indicate someone is getting impatient.

  37. ​ @limedickandrew6016  Russia can't supply itself, they purchased Iranian equipment. Chinese "non-weapon" equipment too like uniforms and plate carrier vests.

  38. ​ @overworlder How is it a copy? Blackwater was a security company. Wagner has jets, artillery, tanks, etc. To work in Blackwater you needed a security clearance. To work in Wagner convicts are fine.

  39. ​ @gorillaguerillaDK  Academi no longer exists. It was purchased by Triple Canopy, and merged with Constellis.

  40. Ukraine concentrating those soldiers in Zaporizhzhia would not increase combat effectiveness as they'd still need to be broken into small units to compensate for drone spotting guiding artillery fires into troop concentrations. Basically Russia needs mass to hold the line, while Ukraine needs to force battles to happen on their terms rather than massing troops and risking artillery taking them all out.

  41.  @mrsupremegascon  You're ignoring what I said. But whatever. According to Murz, volunteer for the LPR, the separatist forces ground themselves into Ukrainian defenses, which were willing to abandon equipment and flee. They lost their combat hardened troops while Ukraine seemed to preserve theirs.

  42. Look at the Avdiivka footage. Does that look like chess?

  43. Trucks are still less efficient, and the M14 highway can still be cut.

  45. They couldn't hold the bridgehead because they depleted the Kharkiv front to fill Kherson with manpower. They increased their resource consumption rate, and Ukraine struck their resource supply rate. If Ukraine has a force properly sized to match the supply, they cannot be driven out the same way.

  46. A magnesium block of hexagonal cross section, it does look like a very tall screw nut.

  47. Quote mining. Speaking of the Austrian painter, he also started a war to protect German speakers.

  48. Takes manpower to build and man those defenses.

  49. The IMF cannot audit the Russian economy. They have to use figures provided by Rosstat which is a Russian government agency.

  50.  @HiLasse  But the US doesn't disregard the ICC. It was George W. Bush and Trump who backtracked prior policy to join the ICC.
