The War in the Ukraine

Angry Ukrainian guy bashing western equipment, he also talks about the incident of Patriot intercepting "kinzhals".
"Their Patriot is a total piece of sh*t! The Patriot fired all of its 35 rockets into fake targets!"
Video is subtitled :

UK defence secretary Ben Wallace :
UK not an Amazon delivery service for weapons to Ukraine.

What is wrong with the NATO trained troops they are getting wooped, despite knowing that they will be hammered by Russian artillery they still drove in to the kill zone and damn! results were horrific!
Troops riding bradley or BMP got krasnopoled & the only thing left were some helmets, body armor and a husk of the vehicle, similarly bunch of troops just clustered near a bradley under artillery rain and the vehicle got a direct hit, hardly no one walked away.
Video might still be available on prominent pro Russian accounts, but you need to scroll down a little.

Yeah, and realistically, these systems aren't going to do much in US-China war anyway.

This, I suspect, is a major misunderstanding on both sides. Driven by highly flawed perception of what the Pacific war was and how it was thought. Mostly on the US side, China due to the very nature of its borders can't really afford to screw up too much.

Oh frankly, of all people it's Brits complaining?

That they 'Amazoned' can be roughly split in two groups:
1. Nice piece of equipment, but in token numbers, and with no follow-on(b/c UK itself neither has nor can produce much more);
2. Below the standard, underperforming, and often weird - but in noticeable numbers.
(p.s. there are certainly some substandard pieces in token numbers, too, but essentially nothing good and in numbers).

BMPT Terminator spotted in action in Avdiivka, the first time this system has appeared outside of Kremennaya, which the Russians often use as a lab for new weapons. Reported terminated is a Ukrainian 2A42 30mm with some infantry.


Commander of the Krasnodar submarine found assassinated.


Huge surge in Russian weapon production especially on UAVs. Orlan 10 and 30 in particular are up 53x.


Wagner heavy stuff returned to Russian Army inventory. I can see some Nona S. Their T-90S are on the export or Indian level.

This "news" is highly misleading. He had retired from command of the boat a long time ago. The Ukrainians also claim he launched cruise missiles against Ukraine in the war from the submarine. But he had not gone into sea since 2021.
He was basically working as a deputy administrator in charge of recruitment at this point.

Divisions in the Russian Army still festering as General Ivan Popov, leading the 58th Army, has resigned due to his differences with Gerasimov. Popov commanded forces that's half in Zaporzhyzhia.


After the Ukrainian 128th Mountain Assault Brigade has been withdrawn from the front, the Ukrainian 118th Brigade has replaced the 128th and assaulted through the Pyatihatki corridor. But they got fire bagged by the Russian 19th Division of the 58th Army.


A smartphone was recovered from a Ukrainian deceased along with other corpses in the Pyatihatki sector. The phone recorded the last moments of the soldier. He was wounded but no one came to help him and eventually died from his wounds. Related to the fire bagging of the previous.


Ukrainians tried to advance in the Orekhov sector towards Rabotino. Bradley's and a M113 gets knocked out.


Better you than me. No casualties in this video, but one Ukrainian soldier is most unhappy and dejected after he got kicked off from his APC who was likely trying to lighten his load for a faster getaway. Here the Ukrainians are withdrawing from a failed assault on Vremsky Ledge. There's something to be said about double downing on the same routes your previous and failed assaults have crossed as you can see from the widening mud tracks and previously destroyed vehicles.


Krasnopols used in this artillery attack on Ukrainian forces in the Lisichansk sector. One BMP and one artillery piece are knocked out.


Black Hussars claimed two M777 destroyed with their D30 howitzer. Last scene shows lasing which points to the use of Kitolov-2 guided projectiles. The Black Hussars operate in the Krasoliman sector.


Ukrainian vehicle burning after a Ukrainian counterattack in the Svatovsky sector. Counterattack it is as the Russians are launching a major offensive along this sector to Krasnolimansky.


Ka-52s continue their daily hunt in the Vremsky Ledge.

FPV drone strike on a Bradley.


A number of destroyed Ukrainian equipment.


The remains of an M109 and a 2S3 Akasya near each other. Back during the Cold War, these two machines would have faced each other as opponents. Now they share the same resting place as comrades.


Wagner headed to Moscow in buses accompanied by police. This after their heavy equipment returned to the Russian Army. Heaven knows what deal was struck.


Once again, Ka-52 hunting a luckless vehicle in Vremsky Ledge.


A soldier from Group O sends two RPG-7s into a Ukrainian vehicle.


Remains of a Ukrainian T-80BV.


BMP-3 sighted! This at the Krasoliman front where a Russian offensive is underway. The 100mm lets the BMP act as a light tank, antitank and artillery mobile support.


Paratroopers repair gaps in the minefield and added more mines. This in the Artemevosk sector along the flanks. Sure enough, the next day, the Ukrainians came barging through this direction, making the mining effort totally worth it.

7.62x54mmR ammo found in AFU trench:

Judging from the fact that it was packaged in July 1967 it's almost certainly old ammo from Albania.

FPV drone from the Sudaplatov unit hits a Ukrainian pickup.


Krasnopol (if 152mm) or Kitolov (if 122mm or 120mm) strike on a moving Ukrainian target. This vindicates what we already know that this laser guided shell will hit moving targets.


Fagot ATGM hits Ukrainian positions in Ugledar. Possibly fired by the Marines of the 155th Brigade.


Russian air strike on three buildings in the Kremenneya front that the Russians claimed to house many Ukrainian soldiers.


Ukrainian troops attack this forest line but was quickly spotted by Russian drone. Mortar spamming ensued.

Excerpt from a german piece about Ukrainian training. The Ukrainians asked their German instructors about how to deal with mine fields and were told to go around them.

Apparently for Germans, minefields are only 200mX100m patches of land
