Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[alchal]

I’m no military expert by any means but… seems to me that tanks have gone the way of the battleship in terms of usefulness now… maybe in a prolonged war where the supply of these shoulder mounted weapons runs out they can come out of hiding but not before. Certainly operate no where near cities.

They have paper thin armour , no active protection, no support, that equals dead.

Israel use them to greater effect and don't go pop as badly as these under armoured rust buckets will.

Tanks are still useful and needed if supported and used correctly, Syrian forces started having success in urban environments with them after very painful lessons

Seems like there is a bit of resistance brewing in Russia. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/02/26/russias-anti-war-lobby-goes-online-a76616

BBC News are so bad at bringing up to date news or recent events.

I know. I turned BBC news on at about 17:00 today and they flashed up a large 'Breaking News' banner that covered the bottom quarter of the screen stating that Russia had vetoed a UN vote.

CNN and AlJazeera seem to be a bit better.

+1 my go to for watching this on tv

I guess it's so it can't get frozen as an asset? Could be wrong

He owns shares then those would be frozen. He's making a UK exit by cutting his losses - he already has an Israeli passport.

Ukraine requests Russia loses its UN vote.

As it should.

I see reports of Ukrainian AA managing to shoot down SU-30s. That's the most advance fighter that Russia have (excluding the SU-57 of which they only have 10).

They reported 3 of them shot down earlier.

This is pretty desperate of Russia - they sent in their riot police as part of the invasion... unsurprisingly they got absolutely mullered here:

(only wreckage seen in the video - nothing graphic)

Edit - here they are in Russia earlier before they crossed the border and got destroyed... imagine driving a civilian van into a conflict zone when there are still tank battles taking place! Feel rather sorry for those Russians, they seem to have had absolutely no force protection for that convoy. Quite an easy target for an ambush.

Where are people getting their reports from, as the news channels are poor, repeating the same stories all day

Probably late to the party but looks like the SWIFT disconnection is underway. Russia has nothing to lose now. Uh-oh.

In a highly symbolic move, the founders of the "Immortal Regiment," an organization dear to the Kremlin because it is responsible for preserving the memory of the dead of World War II, called on the Putin "to cease fire," describing the use of force as "inhuman."

Yikes.

Bloomberg Terminal / Reuters Eikon relays, there's a few that exist on Twitter which means you don't have to pay the actual cost for a terminal.

Any pictures? When the KA52s were shot down we got pictures really quickly.

There was a report of an SS-21 scarab shooting one down. That’s a 50 year soviet missile system.

Pile of pants that is. Horrible replay.
