I'm late to the party but I've been watching a few of those drone videos in which they're dropping small fragmentation grenades directly on top of Russian soldiers. Not a way I'd like to go out, absolutely brutal viewing some of them! One guy takes one directly to his stomach while lying on his back, then has to sit and wait in agony before the second finishes him off.

and the worst part is Russia forcing people to go to war.

if you quoted it properly, the article says
“Instead of one dying while assaulting a building, five are dying because there are no shells and we have nothing with which to destroy the enemy artillery.”

5 men lost to take one building. Telling you nothing about how many were defending it and how many defenders died. Guessing a number greater than zero if sufficient supply makes a difference.

Title so of webpage says :

Wagner group chief admits horror death toll with five Russians dying per Ukrainian


Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has admitted that Russian soldiers are “dying five to one” compared with Ukrainians because they are “not given shells” or proper artillery



To be fair it’s express clickbait and it might be just mr Wagner man exaggerating the Situation to get sympathy from Kremlin but it still shows how bad the army supply situation is.

Long may this situation last for Russia :p

Good riddance, one less vatnik firing Cruise missiles into Ukraine.

It's war, one in which thier airforce purposefully attacks civilians.

It's a difficult one as they are only following orders.

But then again that is what the Nazi's said...

Mig's like that don't fire cruise missiles by the way.

I find it fascinating that firstly 300 elite troops were enough to capture the airport pretty deep in Ukrainian territory and that Russia thought 300 elite troops would be enough to keep it from counter attacks, great analysis though

Mig-31 is the main launch platform for hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. Allegedly these are responsible for killing many high-ranking officers and western advisors.

This particular one was on training flight near Murmansk. It is a two-seater plane and both pilots ejected after guiding the plane away from built up area

Russian fighter jet crashes into lake after bursting into flames

Both crewmen are reported to have successfully ejected

Its really not. They are willfully participating in attacking a neighboring country on the whim of a madman. Yes their alternative options are not great. However, I do not believe that they are brainwashed enough to not know deep down what they are doing is just wrong, especially the ones that have been on the front and have experienced the fighting.

Whilst yes "technically" they dont fire "cruise" missiles. They do fire a wide variety of ATGM's, including the Kinzhal "hypersonic" air launched ballistic missile. Unsure if the one lost was one of the handful modified to launch the Kinzhal.

I'd like to think if I was a pilot I could fly across the border and defect to another country.

However, i'm equally just as likely to get shot down or cause WW3 by flying an armed Russian warplane in to NATO territory.

No context but one of the depots used in recent video on Russian tank reserves - now emptied out.

If you look at the dates the photo's are taken it co-insides with Russia's winter offensive. I don't think it's an unreasonable assumption to say a lot of that gear ended up as smouldering ruins on the fields of Vuhledar and Avdiivka, the rest has probably been disrupted around the front line to shore up defenses.

Haven't watched the video [yet] but the belief seemed to be that the initial round of strikes would take out Ukraine's air-defence capabilities and they could then take and hold the airport as a bridgehead to bring in mass airborne troops behind as the spearhead of armour coming in from Belarus - combined with the belief that Ukraine would fold in the face of aggression. In some ways a mini Market Garden with many of the same complications (Russia really does seem to have not learnt the lessons of WW2).
