  1. F-16s were used in Operation Opera.

  2. Prigozhin only became a threat because he failed.

  3. Gripens are just as expensive as F-35s.

  4. That would help if they weren't grinding themselves. The footage is out there.

  5.  @toto-yf8tc  Are you missing the point? In Zaporizhzhia the defensive line is enforced by artillery. Trying to go on the offensive with large concentrations of force makes them vulnerable. So now that Ukraine is spreading out the forces and doing smaller assaults, they don't need a large concentration of men. But Russia still needs manpower concentrated, or else a repeat of Kharkiv happens.

  6. The issue is tying those actions to a deliberate and systematic campaign. Meanwhile the removal of children to be raised as Russian is 100% a smoking gun evidence of intent to erase Ukrainians.

  7. How doesn't it make sense? After taking Bakhmut the Russian army would have options. Right now, they don't. They either assault Bakhmut, or suffer debacles like in Vuhledar. Ukraine could pull out of Bakhmut. But then Russia could recover. Remember how after Severodonetsk they needed an operational pause? Well, now they're in need of a pause. But they have to keep fighting. From Ukraine's perspective, Russia is falling on its own sword at Bakhmut so it's worth to hold it instead of fighting elsewhere.

  8. Almost no wars had air supremacy. Only situations like intervention in the Balkans allowed for it.

  9. ​ @charlygriffin2828  Air superiority is the ability to conduct air operations with minimal regard for the enemy air force. Russia fires missiles from inside its own borders, drops glide bombs 70km away from the front and does rocket volleys with Mi-8s and Su-25 before running back towards safety. Air superiority is more like the US in Iraq, where American aircraft flew over Iraq despite them having fighters and air defenses. Air superiority is the enemy basically lacking an air force.

  10. Fit for military service during peacetime is not the same as fit for duty in wartime. I think that during the Iraq war the US opened up recruitment to 39 years of age as the upper limit for some MOS. In many countries during peacetime after 25 they'll tell you to GTFO of the recruitment office unless you have a college degree.

  11. So if they attack without saying, get slaughtered and immediately turn back, there's no offensive? Because they didn't say it? Why would they say anything? To let Ukraine be ready?

  12. On a private plane sure, but in airliners you can crawl into the fuel tank.

  13. ​ @Wargasm54  The eastern "expansion" was in 1989 when GERMANY reunified. NATO agreed not to build up on Poland's border and create a new face-off at the iron curtain. NATO could NOT expand into the Warsaw Pact. The promise made in 1989 in regards to Germany was kept to today. The Bundeswehr inherited the East German army bases but NATO is stationed in the former West Germany.

  14. Untrained men who will get even more substandard equipment.

  15.  @david126691  You said it was a low cost measure and that they did the heavy lifting. Do you understand how that is contradicted? PMCs were expensive to employ, and did almost nothing to contribute to the military aspect of the conflict.

  16. Eastern Europe being an extension of Yugoslavia is a wild concept.

  17. Does that mean Russia will be winning soon?

  18. The DPR violated Minsk II by assaulting Debaltseve. It's Russia pumping volunteers through Wagner and Redut.

  19. Russia released Azov in exchange for one of Putin's friends. Those who died to "destroy" Azov under Putin's orders had their lives thrown away by the Bunker Tsar himself.

  22. You also fail to mention that the defense of Bakhmut was what got Progozhin and Wagner out of the way, and also spared cities that would have been fought over if Bakhmut had been abandoned. Russia got absolutely nothing out of Bakhmut after it was portrayed as the key to unlock further advances. The supply hub, remember?

  23. Considering how much drone footage of Russian deaths I've watched, they're probably undercounted.

  24. I think that when you drive past 90km/h you're just burning fuel to get to the destination faster.

  25. Pretty much all new PMs say that. Theresa May was also asked that question.

  26. ​ bimmebeau  The A-10 is a flawed aircraft meant for Vietnam that had to be brute forced into a different role. Armor is losing relevancy as missiles simply slice aircraft in half instead of worrying about how well armored each half is, it's not cheap to buy as the original A-10 is severely outdated so a modern A-10C should be 50-60 million a piece, and it's tough to maintain as evidenced by the billion dollar Boeing contracts to make parts for it. Most of the anti-armor kills came from Maverick missile, which other aircraft also carry. It refuses to die because Arizona representatives make money off it. It would be near useless in Ukraine.

  27. The Hill just platforms all the concern-trolls and anti-establishment voices who decided to be against Ukraine on a whim.

  28. Coping is bringing up a pyrrhic victory to try an argue that an attacker forced into street to street fighting took less casualties than the defenders.

  29. ​ @grahamstrouse1165 small drones have a very short lifespan in Ukraine. If the next conflict has better anti-drone capabilities they'll be toast.

  30.  @NzTings  You really asking about Avdiivka after the Russians got massacred and it was all caught in 4k?

  31.  @NzTings  Putting your fingers in your ear and going la-la-la. Russia got slaughtered, maybe worse than in Vuhledar. Why are you cheering for the death of your brothers?

  33.  @sleezerbarbarossa6080  Why will Russia prevail? With all those dead men, the federation will crumble.

  34. ​ @minimax9452 Western bloggers and companies can't force more Russians to the front to keep the war going. Warlords can. There's a difference between a journalist reporting on fires, and setting fires to collect insurance money.

  35. The coalition stopped when they faced resistance and split forces to continue deep advances unopposed. Iraqi forces set themselves in defensive rings but the coalition refused to take the bait and simply pressed forward towards the political centers of gravity. Had the US/UK/AUS/Poland engaged in heavy city fighting to capture each city, they'd have taken massive losses. But the coalition fought smart. Russia is incapable of doing so.

  36. There's some reports Iran completely overstated the performance capabilities of their drones.

  37. Unthinkable. By that logic we could declare a referendum in Moscow and we already know the results, we'll nuke Russia if they don't give up. Nobody can allow such a precedent because it threatens the entire world.

  38. Because the point of surrounding territory with cannons is taking it. If you can't do anything, that either says you're incompetent, or the cannons are not firing.

  39. Weapons contractors can't force Russia to keep fighting. Only Russians with influence could force the fight to keep going for profit. Weapons contractors can only ride the wave and do nothing when it ends.

  40. ​ @b12n23  The successful tactical retreat was an outcome that handed Ukraine victory on a silver platter. Kharkiv was undermanned to avoid giving up Kherson. Then Kharkiv was attacked. And looking at a losing fighting, Russians gave up Kherson. They gave up Kharkiv to not give up Kherson. They gave up Kherson. Let this sink in.

  41.  @b12n23  They didn't burn through. Most of the captured materiel ended up being in unrepairable condition. Some of the captured tanks were on repair depots without parts. Some were missing engines. The photos show open engine bays with nothing in them.

  42. It all depends on what you think will yield the best results. Rip the bandaid off and make sure those coffins arrive in Moscow and St Petersburg at once, or let them trickle in and allow the population to get accustomed to losses.

  43.  @pietrotettamanti7239  20 year olds who served but did nothing worthwhile. Conscripts did even less. Read the "Z O V" document by a former Russian paratrooper who defected. He says even contract soldiers get no training, he had to bother his superiors to let his unit to go the range.

  44. Keep huffing that copium, bot.

  45.  @macilowiecki9158  Any satellite picture of Ukrainian fields show vast empty landscapes pockmarked with craters. Russians were shooting at nothing. There's also the constant begging for ammo.

  46. There's hundreds of interviews and testimonies like that from Russian soldiers. Everyone is bound to have a bad day in bad events like wars. You think the Russian soldiers lined up in formation visited by the tungsten rain were happy? Nah, they were lined up and shot with a guided missile as the gunman.

  47. Because Democrat presidents show willingness to recognize the court while Republican presidents backtrack. Welcome to democracy.

  48.  @td6460  If the deal you're giving me is "showers" vs "Russian defeat" I will slam the Russian defeat button 10/10 times. You really think you can threaten me with a shower?

  49.  @dughallhalliday1713  the US has SEAD/DEAD doctrine to handle SAMs. The batteries are saturated with cruise missiles, drone decoys, jamming, glide bombs and HARMs. Same as in Iraq 1991.

  50. Not under noses - everyone was talking about a retreat two weeks ago, it was the Russian shills who helped with the fog in the public sphere. A Russian can't drop a cigarette in Kherson without all the NATO ISR knowing it.
