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

[steve45]

Seems Ukraine are being supplied with GMTI radars and Counter Indirect Fire(C-IDF) Radars. Very powerful bits of kit when used properly, that will allow them to locate and return fire on Rockets mortars and artillery.
Hopefully this kit is put to good use.

The Ukraine army must be getting ready for that convoy. But, Russia will probably pound the city massively first before any Rusky gets near!

Reducing urban areas to rubble just makes things more difficult for the attackers.

- Blocked roads
- Every wrecked building becomes multiple fighting positions for the defenders
- Enemies harder to spot

Didn’t the Russians mine the humanitarian corridors in Grozny?

A post about the Ukraine war in a thread about the Ukraine War. Pretty much is the exact place.

Brexit related, keep it out of here.

Has anyone else wondered if the convoy is just waiting there for something? Possibly a strike of some sort and then go in?

No I'm sure the one at the front has his wheel stuck in the mud and that's it now, it is impossible to recover from that disaster.
I read it on twitter so it must be true.

You'd think that until you see how much of the kit is junk and probably can't hack the terrain

Russian State Media TASS reports:

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov warned that all foreign mercenaries, detained in Ukraine, would be brought to justice on criminal charges

"I wish to make an official statement that none of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime in Kiev can be considered as combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law or enjoy the status of prisoners of war," Konashenkov stressed.

How much does Russia have left to throw at this realistically?

Turkey did not allow the passage of the giant Russian warship Kasatonov along with 4 other warships waiting for permission to pass through the straits.

Or maybe it’s not paranoid? After all, the killing of people in eastern Ukraine has continued despite the the Minsk agreement. Putin is fed up with ethnic Russians being killed in that area and nothing being done about it which is why we are where we are.

This.
Some 13,000 ethnic Russians have been killed in the east since 2008 by Kyiv backed forces.

From posts on Twitter there is drama with the man power - "contract" soldiers told they are "fired" but not given any options to actually leave (probably going to be coerced into fighting) and stuff like that

Eh? Saddam came to power by military coup I thought?

No.

In 1968, Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr successfully launched a bloodless coup and became president. Hussein was appointed his deputy, and spent the next 12 months quietly building up his own support base. By 1969 he was arguably the most influential man in government.

In the years that followed, Hussein rose to the rank of general and accumulated more authority. As al-Bakr became older and more infirm, Hussein took over more of his duties. In 1979 he finally made his move, forcing al-Bakr to resign and stepping into the presidency unopposed.

He then conducted a lethal purge of the Ba'ath Party to consolidate his grip on power.

Ukraine let the people in prison out if they would fight though, it's not a secret and Ukraine does have nazis in it's army.
widely reported about since 2014

West just wants to pretend it's not true because they hate Russia

Putin is specifically calling the Government those things, not prisoners or the army.

 

[Mik3]

Can you imagine if the Russians get slaughtered, whee will Putin go next?

I don't think they will take Kyiv their losses will be too great, even if they raze the city most of them will survive in the tunnels and cellars, it will be house to house fighting like a WWII battle.

 

[Malevolence]

Didn’t the Russians mine the humanitarian corridors in Grozny?

No, they'd never do that. Same as how they'd never target civilians in Syria, and then wait a few hours and then target the hospital that said civilians were taken to. Nope, they'd never do such a thing.

This.
Some 13,000 ethnic Russians have been killed in the east since 2008 by Kyiv backed forces.

False. 13,000 is the total number of people killed on both sides of the conflict in eastern Ukraine since Russia invaded Donbas in 2014. 3,000 of them were civilians.

'Disinfo: Former Ukrainian government is responsible for 13,000 deaths in Donbas.'

'Putin’s claims that Ukraine is committing genocide are baseless, but not unprecedented.'

'Russia’s assault on Ukraine and the international order: Assessing and bolstering the Western response.'

'Kyiv backed forces' have not killed 13,000 ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine. That is a lie.

Brexit related, keep it out of here.

I think it’s important to remember what our ‘leaders’ are like. Even more so in a time of war. It’s already clear their sanctions aren’t what they claimed. Our leader is a proven liar and law breaker as well as someone who pulls out of their own deals. Not someone I’d want negotiating anything…

good work challenging, and correcting, the lies spouted by some.

Plenty. I don't think Putin's even touched his reserve forces yet.

You love to see it.
