  1. In Russia they ship their soldier’s remains like pieces of freight without honoring their dead with a flag.

  2. Ukrainian flying team work in action, the lead jet firing off flare and chaff to cover for the trailing jet. The trailing jet would then take the lead jet position and fire off his flare and chaff to cover for the other jet allowing maximum use of their limited flare and chaff cover against Russian MANPADs.

  3. Human reactions to a disaster: Rescue, humanitarian aid, and then police and military to protect against looters. It seems it doesn’t matter where the disaster happens, unless it happens in a poor rural area where people didn’t have anything to loot.

  4. The Russian soldiers driving a truck across a minefield, looked like they were returning after a drunken party and took a short cut back to their position and streaming live on Russian channel of their bumpy ride.

  5. Putin's multimillion dollar Mi-28 Havoc gunship vs. Ukrainian homemade FPV costing a few hundred dollars.

  6. The Ukrainians used an American FMG-148 Javelin anti-tank missile and the Russian missile looked like a 9K702 Iskander short-range ballistic missile by the size of the explosion, the long body length and the wheels.

  7. You can really tell the difference between a Western military airfield and a Russian. In the West the airfield ramp where the jets are parked has a sterile environment with no unnecessary equipment not needed for flight operations in the area. The Russian ramp has wooden crates, metal boxes, and seems to be a storage area. The Russians doesn’t have motorized munitions mounting equipment and just uses manpower to mount the weapons. They also seem to use older civilian contractors, instead of young enlisted personnel to mount the weapons.

  9. The Russians needs to put up bigger "NO SMOKING" signs

  10. When the Russian submarine Kursk sank in a training exercise the Russians said at first that the whole crew had been saved. When the Russian cruiser Moskva sank, the Russians said that it was because of an onboard fire and that only one person died. The Russians said that the HIMARS attack killed only 63 people.

  11. With the departure of Western retail chains from the shopping mall, the economic cutbacks of maintaining the empty spaces also seems to have led to cutbacks on routine fire system maintenance.
    93
  12. The Russian tank crew knew they were about to become “Cannon Fodder” when they started to go in reverse while under Ukrainian fire. The Russian tank’s reverse speed is about 5 km per hour and the weakest armor is in the back so they couldn’t turn around and try to use their faster forward speed while under fire.
    91
  13. The old Soviet era Russian 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled heavy mortar is the largest mortar system in use today, but it has become obsolete against modern artillery like M777 howitzer the Ukrainians are using. It’s like the old “Indiana Jones - Raiders of the lost Ark (1981)” movie scene with the big sword vs. a gun.

  14. “12,000 Russian Troops Were Supposed To Defend Kaliningrad. Then They Went To Ukraine To Die...Kremlin yanked the 11th Army Corps from Kaliningrad and sent it into Ukraine. Where the Ukrainian army quickly destroyed it...Kaliningrad is all but defenseless, and the threat the oblast’s troops once posed to NATO … has evaporated..."27 Oct 2022 Forbes. It was destroyed during Ukraine's first counteroffensive last year.

  15. The Ka-52 has no defense against the UK’s Starstreak MANPADS given to the Ukrainians. There is a video of the Starstreak cutting the Mi-28 in half, cutting off the tail section.
    89
  16. It wasn’t Ukrainian tanks; it was two Ukrainian Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). The two IFV were doing a “Reconnaissance by Fire” by driving “Hell Bent for Leather” right up to the suspected enemy position and blazing away and then running like hell to draw their fire and have the Russians expose their positions. There was a drone overhead in the area to see if the Russians would take the bait and expose their positions by return fire.

  17. Narcissist: a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves. Narcissists who think the world revolves around them. Oxford dictionary.

  18. The Russian landing ship was used to transport and store Iranian shaded drones and other munitions. With the recent Ukrainian downing of multiple Russian modern aircraft and modern air defense system( S-400), it left an opening for the attack flying the old Ukrainian Su-24 fitted with the Storm Shadow missiles.

  19. The attacking Ukrainian tank with an over watch tank covering fire on the flank on the wood line side. The Ukrainian Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) providing firing cover for disembarking troops from the IFV and Armored Protection Vehicle (APC). After Ukrainian troops penetrate the wood line the IFV provides covering fire for the leaving APC. The IFV and APC take a position away from the attack point and are ready to move back if needed. The dismounted troops call for the IFV and APC after the mission is completed. The APC with the IFV covering the flank of the APC reaches the rendezvous point as the troops enter the APC and IFV; textbook NATO battle tactics.
    87
  20. The Sukhoi Su-34 cost about $36 million USD. It appears to have crash carrying munitions with the explosions occurring in the fire.
    86
  21. The Russians don’t need any air-raid sirens, they can hear the low-flying propeller driven “Kamikaze” drone miles away.
    86
  22. The Russian TOS-1A Solntsepek rocket system uses unguided rockets with thermobaric explosives for area coverage firing multiple rockets. The chances of a single unguided rocket fired individually hitting a precise target is very doubtful. This is another Russian MOD “Cut and Paste” video.
    86
  23. You can see how badly trained the Russian mobilized soldiers are walking in a column, in broad daylight, across an open field in the front line. In the written caption, the Ukrainians used a Russian Kornet ATGM, which was probably left behind by the Russians running away from the front lines; by the amount of Russian Kornet used by the Ukrainians early in the war it must have been recently captured.
    85
  24. The Russians shot down the stealth Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B unmanned drone on purpose by the Sukhoi Su-57. It was in broad daylight in visual identification range and the Russians never flies the stealth Su-57 fighter over Ukrainian airspace. The Russians must have lost control of the super-secret stealth drone, and it was flying into Ukrainian airspace.
    85
  25. German luxury and craftsmanship with AC and not having to wear your winter coat or open a hatch to the winter cold air until you have to exit the vehicle.
    83
  26. Mounting the tech sophisticated Russian camera system on top the highest building around a flat area without any sort of effort to camouflage to hid it is just like putting a Russian flag on top of the building; the Ukrainians are going to notice it and target it.
    82
  27. The Iranians forgot that the Israelis have the F-15, F-16 and the F-35. The Iranian have outdated fighters and air defense systems.
    81
  28. "The two Nordic states abandoned generations of neutrality that had held throughout the Cold War to seek NATO membership following the start of Moscow's "special military operation" in Ukraine early last year..." When you invade a peaceful Ukraine without any provocation what did Putin expect?
    81
  29. The UK Storm Shadow stealth cruise missile is launched with the US ADM-160 Miniature Air-Launched Decoy (MALD). The ADM-160 MALD sends out signals confusing the Russian air defense systems that there are multiple cruise missiles attacking. The small air explosion in the sky is the decoy being destroyed, while the big explosion on the ground is the Storm Shadow hitting its target.

  31. One of the Achilles’ heel of the Russian T-72 tank is its 4 km reverse speed. If they try and turn around they expose the weak armor to the enemy. It’s a catch 22 for them, going slow in reverse and getting hit or turning away from the enemy and getting hit in the back.

  32.  lalnunzualadarlong4296  The West have been given Ukraine their second hand weapons while Russia's main battle weapons couldn't defeat Ukraine who was using old Soviet era weapons at the beginning.
    77
  33.  @zvonkobogdan9634  Friendly reminder: NATO was asked by the UN to help stabilize Afghanistan after Russia tried to change the local government and was kicked out. Russia is trying the same thing with Ukraine, do a change in the local government
    76
  34. After the Russian professional soldiers failed on the battlefield, they send in Wagner’s Private Military Contractors (PMC) taken from prisons and civilian conscripts with limited or no military training as “Cannon Fodder”. This is what "Cannon Fodder" looks like, it was broad daylight and they had no reason to be outside.
    75
  35. The Ukrainians have the artillery ammunition and the Russians have the "Cannon Fodder", it's a guess who will run out first.
    73
  36. It was on social media the one of Putin’s diplomatic presidential jets was ban from entering Kazakhstan air space. The Kazakhstan President Tokayev said that its an internal Russian issue and didn‘t want to be involved.

  38. The Russian 2S4 Tyulpan 240mm mortar carrier only has a range of about 9.6 km and has to be near the front line. The mortar is breech loaded which requires the tube to be in the horizontal and then raised for firing. It has mechanical ram for loading into the breech and a soldier has to apply lubricate from a used plastic bottle; the design is outdated. The Russians did a TV broadcast of the 2S4 in action and the Ukrainian army picked up the signal and destroyed the mortar. "Russian TV Shows Off Rare 2S4 Mega Mortar-Then Ukraine Blows It Up..." 22 May 2022 Forbes. Switchblade Kamikaze drone range 38.6 km

  39. It looked like his drogue cord that was suppose pull open the parachute was behind his parachute harness in the video. The drogue cord should have been on the outside of his parachute harness and dangling free to pull open the chute.
    71
  40. The unanswered question is why they didn’t land at a Canadian airport, since it appeared closer than a US airport.
    70
  41. The Russian soldiers hitching a ride on the tank just painted a target on their backs, they should have walked in the tree line; the high value target on an open battle field is the tank.

  42. Russian "Gaslighting". Psychologists use the term “gaslighting” to refer to a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions.
    67
  43. In the video notes: "The missile with a hypersonic glide vehicle is fired outside the earth’s atmosphere before striking any target..." missiles travelling outside the earth's atmosphere will go hypersonic speeds. During WW2 the German V-2 rockets reached a speed of Mach 4.3 in ascent, and then became hypersonic in descent, clearing Mach 5 while still in the thin air and reducing speed in the thicker air in the lower atmosphere as they struck targets in England.
    66
  44. Ukrainian paratrooper commander to Ukrainian paratrooper: “How do you like the captured Russian Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV)?” Ukrainian paratrooper: “It’s OK for being free, but I would have preferred a NATO AFV, its better than this Russian junk.”
    66
  45. The Rapira MT-12 anti-tank gun is a direct fire line-of-sight weapon with a short range. This shows that the Russian soldiers have no mortar, tank, or artillery support and are just sent in as “Cannon Fodder”.
    64
  46. The Belarusian volunteer soldier was firing an AT-4, a rocket launched weapon used against light armor (it can’t stop a Main Battle Tank) and buildings against the Russians. Once fired the launch tube is thrown away. A grenade launcher fires a light grenade usually about 40 mm, whereas the AT-4 rocket is 84 mm. The grenade launcher has to be fired in an arc and has a shorter range, whereas the AT-4 is aim and shoot with a much longer range. If you are going to drive “Hell’s Bells” right up to the Russians, an AT-4 is way better than using a slow firing short range grenade launcher.

  47. Putin's next year's Navy Day parade will be a couple of Navy tugboats and police patrol boats!

  48. The Russian conscripts’ barracks was an abandon technical college with large classrooms, parking lot and near cell towers for communications. The Ukrainians waited until the pings on the cell tower from all the conscripts calling home showed the technical school was heavy occupied. The HIMARS rockets hit the technical school about two minutes after midnight during the New Year’s celebration.
    62
  49. Interesting that the Russian control panel displays are in "English" instead of Russian. I wonder where they stole it from since there is sanction against them?

  50. The so called “unsinkable” superyacht had a crew of 10 and carried 12 passengers with the latest modern safety equipment. 90% of the crew survived and only 50% of the passengers survived. An old sailboat many decades older anchored next to the modern “Party Superyacht” survived without any damage and rescued the 15 survivors. Like any mystery whodunit movie there are a lot of coincidences, but no hard evidence and only conjecture as what went wrong.
