  1. Agree. So far the most decisive thing we are witnessing is that Ukraine has been able to build a cadre of NCO'S which effectively conducts operations and Russia does not have them Great props to the ukrainians for this effort, and also to the trainers from all the NATO forces who helped.

  2.  @davidroosa4561  THey do not want to show the commitment that Ukraine and its citizens have to its freedom. Its a fine line the Lubyanka kids have to follow. Showing that the Ukraine are fighting hard goes contrary to the Vlad Pooty Meme that all the Ukrainians except and occasional Nazi WANT to be part of Russia. So they say that Ukraine is drafting all males and throwing them against the wall of fire. Problem is the Ukrainians are not fighting like they were Soviet Conscripts which is what the Russians are doing. So all they can do is complain about it. Sucks to be a SOV these days.

  3. Do you notice the wounded Russians in the hospital wards don't seem to have visible wounds? Can't scare mother Russia with the truth, like missing limbs or visible burns which the crews from their BMDs will have. Can you imagine a wounded warrior commercial in Russia? NO, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO FACE THE TRUTH.

  4.  @Харликвен  then why arent they there now? The russian attack on Hostomel makes Operation Market Garden look like a model operation. Purely moronic....

  5.  @Харликвен  Oooooh, the meme leader at the Lubyanka told you what the go to script was eh? If it was a diversion, why waste the best troops from the Sov forces on a n air assault to take HOstomel? If not, whcy commit three whole CAA to tray and secure from North and East? Why would they NOT make a big display of their intentions rathe rthan trying to keep that on the down low? Why have a forty mile supply convoy exposed on the roads for weeks? Parked there and getting picked apart? Face it, Vlad Pooty jacked this one up. THe entire Russian Army was under the belief that the mere sight of Sov Tanks crossing the Border would cause the Ukrainian government to flee, and the Army to subsequently surrender. But that did not happen, and now that the world knows just how pathetic the Red Army is it will never happen again. Dont be surprised when Goergia retakes their land and Russia can only sit there and watch now that the Red Army is a shell of what it was in January. Finland retaking their land from 1940's? That could be fun and I think the Red Army wouldnt even contest it until they got too close to St Petersberg (Or do you still call it Leningrad like the good litlte Sovs? Hell, Everyone wants to be in NATO now that they know there are no repercussions from VLad Pooty. When do you think Russia will dissolve and become a bunch of warring factions? Will it be before or after VLad Pooty takes a 9mm from his previously loyal staff for his failings?

  6.  @Харликвен  Russia has already won this war? Really? I was not aware that Russia had ceased grinding away a full BTG each day for a single Kilometer of gains. I was not aware that the Russians had stopped losing all the planes that cross the FLOT. I was unaware that the MLRS rounds had stopped blowing up the rudimentary Tactical Operations Centers that Russia is trying to establish behind their lives. I was unaware that Ukrainian Patrols had stopped infiltrating and whacking whole squads of russin crunchies who run in panic. I was unaware that Russian tanks were notlonger playing "Pop Goes the Weasel" every time they move forward. After all "ROund and round the mulberry Bush, the monkey chased the weasel, out from hiding the tank came and "Pop Goes the weasel." Hahahahhah! Javelins are bad karma for autoloading tanks. I bet Vlad Pooty is not getting any sleep without the help of a sedative..... THis war is still in the first period, and not looking good for the away team.

  7.  @Харликвен  And you know Ukraine has lost 200,000 soldiers how? Oh, the Meme leader told you. Ukrainian soldier whine and cry? Not from what I have seen. They have patrols with trained NCO's that move out with ATGM and play Pop Goes the Weasel with the Russian T72's. And the Russians STILL don't have trained NCO's which is why you don't see Russian Patrols going out to intercept the Ukrainian patrols. In fact, the Russians are terrified to fight at night. They are not trained for it, nor are they equipped for it. So when darkness falls they hunker down and pray. Gotta be the longest nights of their lives. As far as cold winter. Gonna be pretty miserable for mother Russia. Europe has faced energy shortages before. No money. No logistical support for their troops. And come November the new US Congress will start pumping oil again. Drill Baby Drill. And the US will go back to be an oil exporter. Poor Vlad Pooty. More nightmares to worry about.

  8. You are right America is pretty great. I would say you should visit sometime, but that will have to wait until Vlad Pooty is gone and the Russians pull back and atone for their transgressions. One of the great problems a military organization has is of processing sensor data and moving it to the users for action. And the Russians are MAYBE the worst at that in the world. Too much "Rice bowls" thinking. AI have always assumed it comes from the same part of SOV culture that leads to corruption in the officer ranks. But that is for another time. So, lets imagine your position is accurate. WE will assume There is a satellite system that picks out a human body via thermal imagery. We will assume that the Ukrainian infantry squad walks along an open field and selects an ambush position in an area without overhead cover. Silly but we will go with it. Where is this imagery processed? WHo has tasked this to occur? How is it deconflicted with the Sov patrols that should also be out (ooooooops, we will scratch that one as the SOvs are terrified to go out cross flot at night. Perhaps you should chastise your leaders for stealing the NVG money, and then further chastise your leadership for discounting infantry patrol training.) How do the SOVs action this target? THe usual way they work is when a patrol is found, they spend some time figuring where it is and then with a full battalion of BM21 rockets taking out multiple grid squares? Aviation? THe quick answer on that is the SOVs are no longer crossing the FLOT with aircraft as that turned out to be too hazardous to their crews. They have all but surrendered control of the air over anything but friendly lines to the Ukrainians. Nope, I am certain that very little information's getting to the user in a timely manner. Probably zero as a matter of fact. If it was then a BTG could probably make it further than a single kilometer each time they throw themselves against the wall. ANd it is FIND ME ANOTHER 10 TANKS FOR TOMORROW time. Not seeing any evidence of Russian BM21 strikes being fired in the dark on any video, even the really hokey ones put out by the Chechens.... My guess is their crews are hunkered down and praying at night like the rest of the Sov army....

  9. Don't forget the toilets. It seems the Russians still cannot produce a viable toilet when their soldiers loot them from Ukraine.

  10.  @aworkofart9163  if you watch the go pro video the Russians shot of their air assault on Hostomel airfield it is obvious they sent in their best troops to sieze the airfield and prevent the government escaping to the west. They were even festooned with the orange and black ribbons to impress the cameras. But something they didn't anticipate happened. The Ukrainians didn't flee but fought back like tigers. And the Russians have not recovered since.

  11. Please provide details. And not just apocryphal stories or rumors.

  13.  @speedyv6247  owned by the federal government? It isn't. Journalists on the other hand are self selected from the progressive side of society where they mistakenly believe that government is key to all success and happiness. Thus it might seem like they are owned by the Biden administration. But in reality only philosophically.

  14.  @speedyv6247  try Russian quad copter footage releases.

  15. Yeah, but Ukraine is on the defense and defending their homeland. An army defending home and hearth will be willing to take more than one who is not.

  16. The tanks are not proving to be decisive in this war.
