The War in the Ukraine

precisely, boasting videos of tank destruction, as a great achievement, and downplaying a strategic objective, is wasting neurons

If you want to talk about lost tanks, then you have to say, then I would have to waste 3000 pages of the forum, bringing videos of destroyed Russian tanks.... everyone who knows what a war is, can understand that equipment is lost, the Fights and battles will always occur... you must review your level of judgment, when you prefer to talk about tactical level operations, and put operations at an operational or strategic level under the rug

I love observing tactical-level operations!

But videos of blown-up materiel isn’t even an observation of tactical level operations. It’s, simply, tactical-level actions that don’t give any indications as to the development or progress of tactical-objectives on any of the fronts.

Close up video of the damage to Minsk, still no high quality damage confirmation for the submarine.

One account I read claims that Ukraine used a combination of a dozen S-200 repurposed into ballistic missiles (600km range) as decoys, plus US supplied ADM-160 MALD and a small number of SCALP missiles to strike the intended targets in Sevastopol. In addition to all of this, Ukraine allegedly flew SEAD aircraft armed with HARMs to take out several Russian radars that revealed their position while tracking the decoy missiles. And lastly, at the same time they used unmanned sea drones to sow further confusion and pressure on Russian defenses.

If true, it’s almost incredible that Ukraine was able to pull off this level of coordination.

If Ukraine can do complex operations like this. With extensive US and EU help ofcourse, then its game over for Russia. They are bound to lose.

Ukraine has constantly been able to embarass Russia with deep penetration strikes with commandos and partisans. Complex missile and drone strikes and now this.

Why is Russia not able to pull off any covert commando strikes like how Ukraine attacked various Russian cities?

Russia is done for when Ukraine is slowly degrading Russian Navy and Air Defence like this. Very soon Ukraine will be able to open the blockade in the black sea with Russian navy destroyed

To be fair, this is exactly what your twitter sources do, when you do post them.
Secondly, if this was a platform to do so (without you getting trolled back) I feel you would 100% be doing the same thing.
Third, can you remove the passive aggressiveness in your posts, it detracts from when you do post useful information.

Uh, not sure if you noticed or not, but there's daily bombings and missile strikes in Ukrainian cities and Russian forces are physically in Ukraine.

A commando strike can do what, damage with some small arms and maybe calling down a 50 kg payload drone strike? Kalibrs and FAB-500s are coming down by the thousand in Ukraine.

Daily dose of combat footage, pics and destruction.

Ukrainian tank gets knocked out by Ka-52.


By tracking an AFU used truck, this drone operator slams his FPV into an AFU hideout.


Two Strykers, one BMR-64 which is a mine clearance machine based on the T-64, one BMP-1 and one M113 lines this part of the road of death to Rabotino. All the roads to Rabotino and Verbove are openly vulnerable to Russian artillery and drone attacks. Mine clearance machines are the most valuable given their rarity and the amount of minefields the Russians laid.


Destroyed Polish Krab.


A group of AFU soldiers called up the surrender frequency and gave themselves up where they are received by the 40th Marines Brigade. This in Novomayorsky in South Donetsk that the AFU is trying to breakthrough.


To save space on the rapidly growing cemeteries, a Ukrainian TV ad offers biodegradable burials.


Consequences of Geran attack on an AFU military base in the Kiev district. Three storage facilities appear destroyed.



Ghoul drone hits Ukrainian boat used in commando raids across the Dniepr. These boats are supplied by the US.


AFU 54th Brigade and 10th Edelweiss Brigade getting artillery spammed by the Tulian paratroopers.


Musk has turned off Starlink in the entire eastern part of Ukraine, not just in Crimea.


Oshkosh M-ATV and MaxxPro destroyed wrecks. The photo takers and those posing next to the wrecks are Ukrainian.


291th Regiment bombards Ukrainians trying to hide out on what's left of Rabotino, which has been reduced to rubble and can no longer offer any shelter.


Ukrainian deployment point in Kherson region gets hit by Krasnopol.


Sudaplatov Battalion and Akhmat-Yug "Beaver" videos of their latest FPV drone attacks against AFU vehicles. The footage includes Maxxpro and Bradleys. These are at Rabotino and Vremsky Ledge



Left side of Crimean Bridge opens ahead of schedule.


Ukrainian DRG gets hit by Kornet ATGM under night vision, courtesy of the VDV.


Captured equipment from the AFU in Kremenna front.


More aerial bombs at AFU points in the Kherson region.


Despite being a near hit, the Lancet cooks off this AFU howitzer's ordnance and silencing it.


First confirmed combat appearance of the 2S31 Vena which is a self propelled 120mm mortar based on the BMP-3 chassis.


USV attack on Project 22160 boat. The ship is firing at the drones using it's AK-176 gun but eventually the drone shooting the footage gets knocked out. Gunnery in navies will be vogue once again.

Isn’t this what Russia has been doing with the Geran strikes?

From what I’ve observed, Russia is not bound to lose based, necessarily, on anything that Ukraine is doing (offensively), but based, more likely, on what Russia is not doing, or has not, as of yet, done!

However, has anyone established what “winning” actually entails for Russia? Is it the complete territorial control and integration of those formerly Ukrainian territories that it has annexed (by decree)? And, therefore, would “losing” for Russia be a failure to achieve this? And, in what time-frame?

They lost the moment they started the war. I hold steadfast to my original thesis that even if the war went swimmingly for Russia and they managed to conquer all of Ukraine within 48 hours, they have lost geopolitically.

Where was that posted, I’d like to read that. Is it because of the loss of connections to Europe?
Hopefully, not in the previous thread, as mentioning that seems to not be allowed, here!
