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

[StriderX]

I wonder if drones had existed in WW1 whether the trenches would have lasted nearly as long? Suppose it would just mean building roofing, but then it's lost a lot of utility as a result leaving concentrations of soldiers in positions where artillery can flatten them.

A counter would mostly involve blocking the signals travelling between the user/drone which is probably much more expensive in addition to being a complex piece of kit that requires specialists that Russia hasn't the time to train and would be inviting an anti-radiation missile to the face as well presumably still at a discount to the cost of the installation.

The person might be biased. At least he is not blabbing and does some research or has some knowledge with artillery. This is the event that took place in Donetsk not long ago.

Just saw a video trending on reddit of a drone dropping a grenade/explosive on two Russian soldiers in their foxhole sleeping.

One of the saddest videos I've ever seen. I actually cried. Don't get me wrong, I am not on Russia's side on this at all, but the reactions from them and the situation is just horrible

It's all so senseless/pointless. **** Putin.

If that makes you cry then you should stop watching any media. This is not good for your mental health. Just do some other things to take your mind off or seek help with your GP.

Putin giving direct orders to generals in Ukraine​

Vladimir Putin is giving directions to Russian generals on the front lines in Ukraine, according to Western intelligence sources.

Apparently that leaked list of names was debunked as fake.

I've seen mostly regular dressed looking men my own age of about 40, I feel so sorry for them. I would be terrified.

Agreed, it's disappointing to see so much flippancy against them in this thread. Yes they might be "the enemy", but ultimately they're just regular guys like 90% of people on this forum who have had the misfortune to be born into a country led by a lunatic with small man syndrome.

By Russia?

 

[HungryHippos]

By Russia?

I don't think so no, sometimes news is just too good to be true. Doesn't change the fact that they are almost certainly still aiming for several hundred K conscripts though, and they could unofficially make it more, you'd never really know.

I don't feel sorry for them after all the horror they're doing in Ukraine. After seeing the children they kill, when they've crossed the border I enjoy seeing those who don't surrender blow up.

You’ve seen those two soldiers in the video being discussed kill children?

No. Think about what you’re saying, it’s a very dangerous way of thinking.

I can’t judge them so easily. The criminals should be punished - but I feel for those who didn’t choose to be there, or were duped.

You only need to look stateside to see how effective propaganda can be - and how easily people are manipulated; it must be magnitudes worse in a country such as Russia.

Some of the video of the conscripts being forced onto buses while their families weep is depressing.

Just another crime committed by Putin and his cronies.

Here is the estimated Russian losses as of today.

Sadly, you don't even have to look that far anymore.

'Liquidated personnel' is a rather chilling description.

Are you saying that it is okay to occupy the land?
I express no emotions towards them either. They are in the wrong. If they don't want to be in a black bag then gtfo.

The ability to liquidate an entire country's worth of military in 7 months, whilst fighting a war against a lesser enemy right nextdoor is simply staggering.

I agree that the "us versus them" mentality really needs to go in the bin. It's exactly the methods used by Putin to coerce his country into supporting the invasion. Especially for the forced conscription now taking place, those soldiers really don't want to be on the frontline.

Our own soldiers displayed inhumane acts during the Afgan and Iraq wars, that doesn't mean we paint the entire UK army as rapists and torturers. We punish those responsible for the crimes, not the remaining unwilling combatants.

Ukraine isn't the lesser opponent here.

This is the power of caring about one's own troops, genuinely caring about their country's future rather than it's past, investment in people rather than resource extraction, valuing the initiative of the individual soldier, not letting every major battlefield decision be decided by a head of state with zero knowledge of whats actually happening, help from dozens of allies...
