I think Ukraine is being advised on tactics, but ultimately it is their decision. Zelensky seemed unwilling to admit defeat over Bakhmut with Biden having to walk on egg shells a bit when he spoke about it. It seemed like it could be a sore point. Yeah I don't think it was a good use of resources, but emotions do get in the way of sound strategies sometimes. I don't play World of Tanks, I love military history though. I'm the kind of guy who will sit and watch all of something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKi3NwLFkX4&t=87s&ab_channel=RichardMackenzie

Does he understand that the UK has its own Nukes, we're not defenceless againt his nuclera sabre rattling.
When the fight has moved on from Bahmukt, then it's over. Fighting is still going on in and around the city.
I suspect the actual city is 99% occupied by Russia right now though. Which is great. The city is in ruins and the enemy are just targets in their now. The city keeps giving.

Their support would probably have battery packs to bolt on and off for recharging.Sorry nothing to do with ukraine,
But where would you charge electric tanks in a war like this ukraine one
And remember when russian knocked the electric power stations and electric power supplies out

I would assume they wouldn't be stupid enough to run out of power without backup.
But Ukraine needs to keep sending soldiers there if they want to maintain pressure on the Russians. So it's not exactly an ideal scenario for the Ukrainians either. It would be better to try and cut off supply lines instead of retaking the city.
The problem is they still would need to be able to charge the flat battery packs and the battery packs would have to be huge to power a 50 ton tank
Would need a mega power outlet to charge them

I don't think this will be seen until the power density of a battery matches that of fuel.
Thats just the deluded Russian in you talking, they are still very much fighting in Bakhmut.
The failure to take Bakhmut was very much an embarrassment to Prigozhin after all his boasting about it but not being able to get the job done
Like a typical failed leader when you cant do it you just say it's done anyway, it's for their captive audience in Russia not us, or at least not most of us.
I'm honestly not sure what you achieve out of lying in a thread on OcUK about the reality of the situation in Ukraine.
Ukraine claimed they had forces near the MiG-17 monument in Bakhmut, but Wagner forces have video showing themselves at that monument, and Ukraine also reported no fighting in Bakhmut (because they no longer have forces there). The fighting is 1km away to the North West.

Russian authorities ended the “counterterrorism” operation in Belgorod Oblast and claimed to have defeated the all-Russian pro-Ukrainian Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) and the Freedom of Russia Legion (LSR) in the region on May 23. The Russian Ministry of
Could Ukraine bombard it from a safer distance? The place is already completely ruined and the civilians are already dead or gone.
They don't have the same divide as say Labour v Tories. But their two main parties are about as different as the Democrats and Republicans.
The problem is that Russia's main opposition party is even worse than the ruling party lol (they've been ragging on Putin for being too soft on Ukraine for years).
Turkey basically got into NATO on the basis they were either joining NATO or becoming allies of the USSR so they got handed the moon on a stick to join NATO, hence why the west mostly turned a blind eye when they launched a military invasion of Cyprus (an occupation that's ongoing to this day and the reason they can never join the EU despite what the Daily Mail says).

Sadly the condition of the city isn't particularly relevant to the Russians
the value of the city for Russia isn't really in holding it but in ensuring Ukraine doesn't hold it. This is due partially due to it's huge propaganda value but also due to it's proximity to important supply/transport routes they need to advance (yes they're still planning on trying to do that lol).Tbh I'm not really keeping up with things but 1km? That's not even a 10min walk. 1km away from most city centres is still the city centre.I'm honestly not sure what you achieve out of lying in a thread on OcUK about the reality of the situation in Ukraine.

Even if it doesn’t sink, where that drone struck, if where it was when the video feed cut was where it actually exploded, then you’re looking at years for repairs, if it can even be repaired at all.
That area of the ship would contain the steering gear, all the hydraulics and electric motors required to operate the vessels rudder(s). If that’s been destroyed, and then also factor in issues with shockwave damage to the frames and stringers that make up the hull, and also the stern tube and propeller shaft likely being damaged or misaligned as well, then it may be quicker to build a new ship than try to carry out such extensive, and costly repairs.
Quite, London has a diameter of 50km as a comparison. 1km is basically the distance between Waterloo and Leicester Square.
Not seeing any reports of Russian strategic aviation activity - haven't been monitoring the channels myself tonight due to work. But NATO assets moving to positions over Poland suggests they are responding to something. Some attack drone activity.
They could, but the artillery still needs support, and you need to know what you're firing at, which is difficult without feet on the ground closer to your target.
Ukraine has formally requested the Taurus cruise missile from Germany. The Taurus missile holds a 500kg high penetration warhead and with a 500km range and has a max speed of Mach 0.9
The main problem as far as I can tell is that none of Ukraine's current planes support the missile and that includes the future F16, however it may be possible to integrate the missile into the F16 or use the missile like Ukraine has used agm-88 and storm shadow which is to pre program on the ground and drop them from the sky as fire and forget
