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

I know it's pointless trying to decipher messages like that (as it could mean several things), but i'm wondering if those ghost drones are actually like mines that they can leave behind and then control as the enemy force is confidently moving into an area?
 
Yeah goodwill on the same day Ukraine used HIMARS to level the island haha

I can't link to it directly here (as it contains footage of an attack) but there is a video from the Ukrainians on twitter, they were using some of their home grown self-propelled 155mm artillery, with fire control from a Bayraktar drone to strike the island.

I hadn't realized they'd got to the point where they were shelling it, I previously assumed it was just drone strikes by Bayraktar (relatively small, targeted munitions) and then recently HIMARS.
 
Shelling the island directly. That's impressive. The island meant air cover for Russia in the Black Sea so that is important to keep it check.
 
You're trolling aren't you - now go away and look at a map from March - have they gained or lost ground?
Why from March?


No they were not, not even close. You just fell for the bs that was being spewed.

All sorts of rubbish claims were being made, so many were believing there was a Ukrainian pilot that could take out a whole Russian fleet on his own.
That Russia was out of artillery yet so many months later it's still landing in Ukraine.
That Russia was losing in excess of 2000 vehicles per month.
That Russia has hardly any army left as their losses were so high.

Yet none ever bothered to look at the map to see that Russia is gaining ground, they never could explain that one.
That is the original post.

I listed a load of lies that were being spewed during the war and pointed out that people didn't bother to look at the map to see that
Russia is gaining ground.
This is the post you replied to, I didn't say March and also you used the word overall so even if I had mentioned March you negated it.



Overall
in general rather than in particular, or including all the people or things in a particular group or situation:
The overall situation is good, despite a few minor problems.

Overall, it has been a good year.

from one end to the other


1 : including everything



2 : viewed as a whole : general
 
Imagine not being able to destroy them artillery doing damage to the island surely any modern army would be able to handle it?

Ukrainian Sniper vs Russian Patrol

Not sure how legit this video is doing the rounds on Twitter proper scope feed
 
That is the original post.

No, that's a post from you and the reference point was a couple of months ago.

Try quoting the relevant posts from me without editing away all context.

More delusion, you do seem to have Amnesia, Russians were close to Kyiv, much closer to Kharkiv a few weeks ago, they had to flee from the North, were pushed back from Kharkiv.

Russia isn't gaining ground overall, they got severely beaten in the North and had to retreat, they've gained some ground in the East but that's been eclipsed by ground they've lost around Kherson and Kharkiv.

Yup it is what you replied to and then you made a bold claim that Russia isn't gaining ground overall.

Then you went onto tell me about some victories Ukraine had in the North & East.
But that does not change that overall Russia have gained ground since the war started.
 
Russia used to have around 25-27% (loosely remember a number like that online somewhere) of the country with the areas around Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy, so they've lost ground.

;)

Correct, it isn't, it's losing ground, just look at the maps and read what I was referring to instead of pretending to ignore all context.

I wasn't referring to: "since the war started" though, you keep on pretending to ignore that.

Overall they've been losing ground over the past couple of months, they've made some gains in the East but losses in the South and the North have eclipsed those ergo... "overall", they've had a net loss of ground.
 
But that does not change that overall Russia have gained ground since the war started.

But are struggling to hold it and the current action is very much a large ebb and flow, so it isn't some kind of big gotcha like you are trying to portray.

(This comment is in no way support of what Dowie or anyone else is claiming, or countering that either).

I am pretending to ignore the date that you did not include ?

lol

Hey if Russia get pushed back it's no loss to me, you may think I'm Russian but I'm not(nor is there any shame in being Russian), just like when it kicks off with China and all here wish them nuked and death...again I won't be with yous.

It feels like this whole thing has taken a horrid turn for the worse. A couple of months ago when this all started, Ukraine was doing really well, Russia were taking a beating and basically being humiliated.

A couple of months ago was my reference point, that's the post you replied to. If he instead meant to say February then that's a different matter but my posts have continually referred to a couple of months ago, Ukraine was indeed doing rather well and near the start of a push back against Russia.

No they were not, not even close. You just fell for the bs that was being spewed.

Yep, someone does need to learn to read a map... what happened to the Russian positions around Kharkiv over the past few weeks? What happened to the Russian positions around Kyiv? What happened to the Russian positions around Kharkiv?

The context of what I'm referring to is readily apparent, relative to when they were holding more ground in the North etc.. they've been pushed back and are now losing ground overall. You can again pretend that some other claims have been made but that would be silly.
 
I think you're just in denial of reality, they tried and failed in the first few days of the invasion... keep drinking the kool aid though.

I think you don't understand Russian Tactical Aircraft Doctrine myself. I mean I absolutely agree with you that they tried and failed in the first few days, yeap 100% agreement there, but for the RuAF their doctrine for gaining air superiority is that it is a "would be nice if we can but not essential if we don't" vs the NATO "it is essential 100% of the time" doctrine.

I also love that any single tiny thing which challenges your opinion is instantly dismissed as "Pro-Russian Cope" rather than the far more common "Dowie's talking crap again isn't he", but the world would be boring if everyone thought the same so, like a scientist listening to a flat-earther, I can't wait to hear what gems you've got next :D
 
A couple of months ago was my reference point, that's the post you replied to.
Why would that be your reference point? you didn't reply to his post nor did you include his post or that date...even I wasn't referencing that date so what you on right now?
You replied to my post where I said none ever bothered to look at the map to see that Russia is gaining ground
That is what you replied to and made a claim that Russia isn't gaining ground overall, then you went onto tell me about some victories Ukraine had in the North & East.

The shameless backtracking from so many Russophobes is astonishing...not talking about you in particular here.

Given your persistent changing of context to try and present what people actually said as some random point you've dreamed up I think this is a you problem not an us problem.

Quote the parts you are referencing with a logical argument otherwise I'm just going to think you are lying.
I mean at least Dowies lies are to cover for his genuine mistakes, yea I know it was an error on his part but I'm having fun.

but your lies are pathetic, you come try and argue a point then 5 minutes later you are unable to comprehend English and you want to talk to me about some youtuber who sells you magical bath water.

As I said it is a you problem not a me/us problem... point out anywhere I wanted to talk to you about "some youtuber who sells you magical bath water." I bet you can't.

EDIT: If you can't - then I seriously think you should be thread banned as it is pretty sick the nature of your posting in here vs the bigger picture of what is going on and you really should be disgusted with yourself.
