  1. Maybe Ukraine should hold a referendum in the Kursk region.

  2. Because in Russia you can't show weakness.

  3. Modri isn't exactly a saint either - especially if you are not Hindi.

  4. They can't be war heroes. There is no war after all. And "Special Military Operations Heroes" is a bit of a mouthful.

  5.  @sturmovik1274  No. If it's Soldiers it's denazified, but if it's tanks, it's demilitarized.

  6.  @christieprince6991  What? Even if Russians civilians are watching this channel, there are also official Russian evacuation orders. How do you know if you are called which are R and which are U? Of course everyone could try to call back, which would just increase confusion. If enough do this, Ukraine could call evacuations in a direction they are not going, thus creating panic and diverting troops from where they are actually attacking. There is nothing lost telling about this.

  7.  @pierresaelen3097  I would have assumed it's the same as "Shanghai'ed". Made drunk one evenening and wake up the next morning to find yourself at sea with a 10 year contract as a sailor to the glorious marine!

  8. Horse Cavs were even used in WW2. Not to much effect, but they weren't useless in WW1. They were useless in what happened here: attacking a prepared defensive position. Which WW1 quickly became. But in the first year there was a lot, oftee successful, horse action.

  9.  @roghider319  You can't. You can only try to detect them. Traditinally (I mean in medieval castle sieges) that would be done by guards in the cellar listening to sounds from the earth and watching barrels of water for water movement caused by tunnel digging, explosions and so on.

  10. I also think it's an disinformation attack. One to have Ukraine distribute troops from the frontlines that are already under high pressure, and two to dismotivate Western help "if Russia attacks there too, Ukraine really has no chance!" That is not to say that there will be no attacks. But if there are, it will be more like 30K instead of 300K, just enough to make it a real PITA.

  11.  @Apollonos  If it was so easy, Ukraine would not need F-16s.

  12. I would not say 3 square kilometers of open fields are major gains.

  13. I read that Christmas the Skorpions will do a live concert near the Moskwa, down in Gorki Park, singing of the winds of change.

  14. You are heavily underestimating the Russian army. If it were as bad as you describe, Ukraine would now hold Moskow. They learn. Slowly, but they learn. Which has nothing to do with their tactic of meat waves. Those work after all. And you lose less of the important armored stuff.

  15.  @donaldmackerer9032  Well, a non-exploding nuke.

  16.  @BewareTheCarpenter  I might believe that can happen once even deep in the night. But in 3 places with falling debris?

  17.  @murraygreen6575  Well, they are a force that does a very special work.

  18.  @quantustremorestfuturus5434  Triarii were the most experienced and best equipped soldiers. Their role was to fight when the others could not, not to stop thers from running. (Which does not mean that it never happened, but that was not their role.) "It has gone to the Triarii" was the saying that meant that the shit had passed the fan.

  19. inertial tracking and/or optical navigation (generally speaking, don't know about those bombs in specifics)

  20. The F-16 is not superior to the Sowjet fighters. Same generation and Russia always had excellent air designers. (Remember that big plane that was destroyed at the start of the invasion?) What it does can do is using western munitions. And of course having a fighter is better than having none.

  21. And the one after that is named in respect for their enemy: Putin's Ambitions.

  22. I probably have more knowledge about (drone) warfare than those "soldiers", and I have never in my live been in a barracks.

  23. It doesn't matter how many you have if they are worthless. And for Putin they are.

  24. You definitely miscalculated there. The Russians can't have only 183m², you would not need to spot any troop concentration there, because any concentration would fully fill that space. Every house you showed has more m². So maybe 1,83km²?

  25.  @thomaslunde5014  Must be a convict too, send to find the mines.

  26.  @TreyDobe  Maybe. But the situation is as it is, not as you want it to be. And as it is, the Russian army is advancing in increasing pace.

  27. You mean it's like the K9 squads?

  28. This channel never talks about where it goes bad for Ukraine. (It does give you a very detailed look at what happened at a certain point.) As for the rest of the front (as in Kursk) it's not the slowly losing territory thing that is the problem, it's that the face of losing territory is dramatically increasing and/because the morale (or maybe more precise psychological endurance) of Ukrainian soldiers is at breaking point.

  29. If it doesn't work, how come they are advancing every day?
    2
  30. Mines don't get enough recognition on how effective a fighting tool they are. (on both sides)

  31.  @Cancun771  Yeah even horse archers only shot at really short distances when riding (like 10m). And I dare say they had it easier.

  32.  @rajeshkanungo6627  It does use oxygen, but there is a lot of oxygen around. Doesn't have any effect.
    2
  33.  @rajeshkanungo6627  I am pretty sure this isn't a pure thermite reaction. Remember those are used to weld train tracks. It's immensily hot and "spraying" quite a lot, but not exactly exploding or sticky in itself. My guess would be they have mixed it with some sticky liquid fuel. A bit of a burning grapeshot maybe. But no thermobaric reaction where the main effect is the movement of the air, so to speak.

  34. That is an open question. If it were just for the defense and meat grinder purpose, it would probably have been better to put that effort into the crumbling Ukrainian defense lines. However this is a political move. If that will be beneficial or not is still to be seen.

  35. Ukraine has a unit called Edelweiss??? Now I nearly believe they are Nazis lol.

  36.  @LloydBrodrick-ne5ei  Also there is Europes biggest (or second biggest) Lithium deposit. You know, that stuff for batteries.

  37. Yes, the meme being "Unfortunately for Russians".

  38.  @junkname9983  That doesn't mean he can't be right. Even Trump was once or twice during his presidency.

  39. 12K is just a bit under 1% of active troops. Not many. Also Kim now no longer has to feed them.
    2
  40.  @Atheos-1  sigh - Don't confuse "You need 3 people to have a good chance at winning against an entrenched defender" with "You will lose 3 times as many people attacking." Those numbers might often be close together, but they are NOT the same. As for your answer: Estimates are that Ukraine lost close to 100K people. How many will be seriously wounded for life or have PTSD is a total unkmown for the moment for everyone except maybe the Ukrainian defense ministry, who will not say it.

  41.  @RaiskZX  This channel only talks about UA favorable things.
    2
  42. This channel does not report about things that are bad for Ukraine.
    2
  43. Ukrainians are so much better than Russians! Too bad they have to be better by 3-4 times by default just to be even.
    2
  44. @ Yes, but you have to watch a different channel. Or read a newspaper. This one never talks about things bad for Ukraine. (And of course I mean the whole front. Just look how far they have gone at Prokrovsk. Or by now more correctly around Pokrovsk.)

  45.  @rambo-cambo3581  No, and I never have. Since that was not the question.

  46. Russians are smart! They know that modern weapons cannot target horses because they have no data about these creatures. 😂 But honstly, can a missile lock on on a horse?

  47. Maybe the war will end when Ukraine has more Russian soldiers than the Russian army.

  48. Ukrainians need to create a new medal: Troll of The Week 😂😂😂 Who would have though that placing a map in a mine field is a working tactic.

  49.  @tracboy80  A shitton of unhealthy stuff!

  50. That may be the case. But the same will be true of Russia. This war is so stupid, and all only so that one man who can't cope with people seeking freedom can feel like a great Czar of the past.
