  1. Any little victory for Ukraine is suddenly a great success in western media. While at the same time losses are omitted.
    115
  2. Why kill Zieliński!? It should be over by spring 2024 at the latest. There is no more equipment to send to Ukriane. There is no more artillery.

  3. So how long can Ukraine offensive last? Few more weeks? Then what, Russians advance till Ukraine start talks this year or early next year? So why wait - Ukraine is stupid to continue a loosing war.

  4. Russian Rambo. Yes he had artillery and drone support but he was only target in open field for UA.

  5. Stay strong Thailand, say no to foreign interference.

  6. ​ @michael-gb3rn  nope they do not. Russians do. They have full control of heights over 100m higher then the valley. Ukraine is attacking hard despite super heavy losses.

  7. I think from the same video over 1min was cut out where same Ukrainians said that Russians come to Bahmut to kill Ukies like rabbits. I. E. Losses are huge.

  8.  @urrywest  Russians must have known there are no mines there.

  9. The 800 tanks from the west includes about 600 already delivered in 1st year of the war. Deliveries in 2nd year of the war are around 300. So deliveries drop by 50%

  10. A lot of them. They have also little ammo left for 152mm systems. Where would they get ammo for 152mm anyways? It's not like they have much at home production, if any.

  11. After 20 years worlds best army is beaten by flip flop army. So much so, home by Christmas!

  12. Ukraine commanders and troops should train NATO in modern war, not the other way around. Commander of 47th UA brigade, NATO trained, was fired from his job for incompetence.

  13.  @FordFalcon1962nBlue  No, Poland delivered around 300+ tanks and I think Slovakia / Czechia etc. another 50+ This year Poland promised another 60 T-72 tanks and 14 Leopard 2 tanks. The 60 + 14 would be part of the new 300 package. Poland still has some T-72s it can deliver and some Leopards but the numbers are dropping hard - Poland is not going to take a delivery this year of much more than 100 new tanks - so they cannot give to Ukraine much more as well. If you look at rest of NATO we have 31 from US and less than 50 Leopard 2 tanks. Then we have around 150 Leopard 1 tanks. So this year total so far is around 300+ tanks at best. Maybe Poland can send more closer to winter - but I doubt totals for all of NATO will exceed 100. Situation is quite worse with artillery - no one is sending that out.

  14. Poland had excellent credit. Less than 60% of Gdp. One of the best in EU. They are spending that and want it over 100% like France and UK. I.e previous PL government did excellent job. Current one is wasting.

  15.  @vumba1331  Yeah, but that shelling is not very intense - say they unload one or two trucks of grad missiles per day. It used to be more.

  16. Buk m2 is much newer than Hawk. Maybe hawk is similar in capability to say sa-6 older version. Or say s-125.

  17. It was not 😅. Look at western images of after strike. No damage to warehouse roof next to the ship. Roof was not blown off. So explosion had to be limited. If it was tons and tons of ammo, ship would be gone and warehouse would at least loose its roof.

  18. There is actually no proof of collision - we see close Russian flying but not the collision itself - so the video could have been edited - Russian fly by - CUT - propeller damaged. There is no video b/c supposedly Russian aircraft covered the sensor.... but that does not seem to be the case as video cuts way before the Russian aircraft is shown close!

  19.  @Razvanh29  Sure, it looked big but damage was not there... so it did not create a pressure wave.

  20. 3D printers are for one off projects or prototyping. Its not for large scale production. For large scale you use injection molding - machine makes a part in like 1 second. 1000s of parts per hour on single machine.

  21. It was empty. See sat photos of after action shown on western media. Look at almost no damage in the port next to the ship...

  22. Ukraine took some fields around Bakhmut. But also some trench lines. On the other hand, Russia is taking more Bakhmut. There are less than 1000m to go. There does not seem to be any larger offensive taking place. But Ukraine did attack along whole 100km. We see how this develops.

  23. So you think that hitting solid wall of fuel could have bent the propeller like this? That is a very interesting theory and maybe why video was cut supposedly b/c of satellite link malfunction.

  24.  @ElceBep  Well same Zielinski said by July 2022 they have a 1 million army. I believe it was 10th of July 2022 to be more precise.

  25. They tried 4 side by side. No go.

  26. There are very few of them, there are some decoys as well as they may have destroyed some but in cover so no proof. It is easy when enemy has 500 systems to destroy one, more difficult when enemy has only 25. Also Ukraine used these 25 rarely and from quite a distance. After quick firing of missiles system races away to cover.

  27. Yeah it's on video!

  28. Daily missile attacks on Ukraine with missiles and drones suggest that UA air defenses are on the ropes. We may see Russia use air force more liberally very soon.
    2
  29. Problem is, if they use them they will have no reserves. So any Russian offensive will go like knife through butter.

  30. It is clear US is set to loose. Come on, they are being dragged into a war with 35m nation filled with mountains and desert. I guess Afghanistan loss did not teach US anything.

  31. What can Forbs do??? State reality that Ukriane lost the war?

  32. Polish - Ukraine union - or how to destroy Poland in one move. This will sink Poland faster then a sack of brick for drowning man. Ukraine is a 3rd world country. Poland is not super rich. This can only mean total disaster. Also western Ukraine is loaded with Banderites - whose main enemy is ... Poland - not even Russia - its Poland. I.e. Poland cannot allay with people that hate it more than Russia which they are at war with (!!!)

  33. Few UA claims are actually gray zone. Like lubkovo. Few others are old Soviet collective farms. So far total failure. Yes they made tiny gains. Russians evacuated 30km deep. Which is beyond 2nd line of defense. Plan was to get through security zone on day one 😅
    2
  34. Militia should concentrate on any US supply routes. More hit and run attack. Any ground transport should be attacked with ATGMs. This is not rocket science.
    2
  35. The whole thing is not a total war but more of a game. Notice west is giving little weapons to Ukraine, minimum needed. Same as Russia.
    2
  36. It has to be noted that Russians no longer retreat willingly. They need to be pushed hard. They need to take heavy losses to be dislodged. Ukraine will reach main defense line but will fail to cross it. At this point UA and NATO will declare victory. They just ignore that it is a failure.

  37. Can you also show neutral map such as Syriak maps.

  38. Let's wait for pictures. And video.

  39. It does not need to manouver much at Mach 10. All it needs is natural variation in thrust. To counter this you need to fire a lot of interceptors. This is all nice and cool but you are spending 10x or more as much $$$ per enemy missile downed.

  40. Not as big as US nation building in Afghanistan 😂

  41. It changes hands every few hours.

  42. Still they are less than 50% of confirmed kills. I.e. They just ignore some images...

  43. Even through Poles are very much against entering this war i fear that they will use war measures act to silence critics and General population. Elections in Poland soon. If same guys win, expect problems later.

  44. Even better when one is rocovered and ends up in Moscow.

  45. Using storm shadow will not be easy as they need to add capability to something. Either MiG or Su. It takes months of work to get aircraft to use it. So either this was done before or will take months. Of hard work, super fast.

  46. Ukriane main goal seems now to reach 1st line of defenses and try to cross it for PR. Ukraine also seem to be wanting to take on few more villages, no matter the cost. Again for PR. I do not think any break through is possible. 100% of UA forces are now committed. No reserves.

  47. But it is not democracy. It is not about that at all, it's about control that pretends to be a democracy. You are free to do anything, as long as this just happens to be what US wants 😁

  48. Well, US joined the fight and Germany despite winning in the east was more tired than the France and allies. It was not just Germany, all central powers were in the same boat.

  49.  @hansjorgkunde3772  Yes, US has this ability to join in late... Of interest France in 1917 produced 17,000 155mm shells per day... In addition to 100s of thousands of other shells. This is over 100 years ago, without CNC and with population slightly larger than 1/4 of today's Russia. By 1917 central powers were out produced - rather badly - the US was just icing on the cake. The war was that of attrition - which Germany and allies simply could not match. We see similar scenario play out in Ukraine, with similar trenches and similar artillery use.

  50. Ukraine is using most of the 60b in aid to invade... Russia. It feels like battle of the Bulge scenario when all best German units where thrown into an offensive action. Also no one seems to know what are UA objectives... At least Germans in 1944 had objectives.
