I found the longer better quality version on tiktok of that AFU Soldier with the insane fight. His buddy is actually reloading/handing him weapons. It looks like there is either an APC or tank right in front of his position. I can't quite make it out. That is what he is mainly firing the RPG's at.

If you checkout UkraineWarVideoReport on Reddit you can see the part of the battle where someone has recorded this using nightvision cameras (no blood or gore is shown but login maybe required). The video title is 'The Ukrainian SSO infiltrated the Wagner base near Bakhmut'. After seeing the video the expression 'Like shooting ducks in a barrel' springs to mind.

Interesting, I'll check it out, thanks!
 
Remember this story of a Russian warship under heavy guard being found docked in South Africa after it went way off course and had its transponder off?

www.businessinsider.com

A sanctioned Russian ship moved cargo under the cover of darkness at a port in South Africa, and the local government won't say what was being unloaded, the Wall Street Journal reports

The Russian ship, The Lady R, and its owner have been accused of moving weapons for the Russian government.

Now we have an update. The US confirms what we suspected, that South Africa gave ammunition to the Russians but also they gave them rocket propellant (doesn't say which type). The US is now considering putting sanctions on South Africa.

South Africa and Russia Are Old Friends. A War Isn’t Going to Change That. (Published 2023)

South Africa is set to start joint naval drills with Russia and China, despite criticism from American, European and even some South African officials that it looks like an endorsement of Russia’s Ukraine war.

Hard to make it out but possibly a BMD-4 - can see smoke launchers at one point and though not very clear in the video they are constantly taking bursts of probably 7.62mm and the occasional 20-30mm.

Yeah, I hear what sounds like an autocannon going off from that vehicle. There is a version without music as well where he is constantly throwing grenades.
 
Really interesting interview with Stephen Kotkin, an eminent American historian, on the current state of play and what the end of the war could look like.

www.newyorker.com

How the War in Ukraine Ends

An eminent historian envisions a settlement among Russia, Ukraine, and the West.
www.newyorker.com www.newyorker.com

It's quite long, but worth a read. It's the usual brutally objective analysis historians are good at.

There's even another Sun Tzu quote in there ;)
 
They were clearly defending against themselves.

The Russian fascists that Putin had empowered were only going to envelop him if he didn't do what they wanted so like with everything Russian for the last 200+ years it's a domestic tantrum that has global consequences. Not to say Putin doesn't agree with them I honestly can't tell, but you can't sit on that particular powder keg of populist notions for too long without letting off some of the pressure.

I am amused by the trigger.
Russia has to refuse totally its right to Ukraine or the Donbass.
That premise continues war and profit for a lot of people.
So afghanistan and Iraq could have ended by america ending hostility and surrendering. And no further war would happen and all the people would be okay and the money that was being made supplying the war on terror would have stopped......

I am very interested in how this war is not any different from that war?

I am also bemused and amused at how people are triggered into telling me exactly how this war is no different from that war?
Ukrainians are dying and have been dying and are still dying. They are fighting our war. They are dying for us.
I wonder about that .

I wonder about that in that the Russians will probably take the Donbass
Take it as Russia and Park their own missile defence and military assets againt NATO.
We will have a future argument in the remaining part of Ukraine joining the EU or Nato!

But we seem to have in forums at least a madness. To absolutely take Russia to task and go to war. All for Ukraine?
We never had this will over Burma or what we now call myanmar.

There is tyranny and horror all over the world yet the might of Nato and the US is not focused upon it.

I am all for the end of hostilitiy as we are all people who want to live the same way!

yet just posting the alternate argument gives rise to hate to fear and even execution!

i look forward to the posts of hatred
anger and rage
we can be better
we should be better

I can't work out if I need to be cleverer or dumber to understand a word you're waffling on about.
