The War in the Ukraine

lmfao

A very interesting text about Syrsky being a GRU agent. I will say that some sources suggest that the assault on Ugledar began with the Russians occupying a residential area southeast of the city;

That's rather drastic change of tone... who was in charge when Russians supposedly keep losing armored assault there ?

In June, Zelensky said Chinese President Xi Jinping had vowed not to provide Russia with weapons in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

"I had a phone conversation with the leader of China by phone. He said that he will not sell any weapons to Russia. We will see," Zelensky said during a press conference with President Joe Biden at the Group of Seven summit in Italy. "He gave me his word."

If true that was a dumb thing for Xi to say. Not that you can believe much of what Zelensky says to begin with.

Notice how they say the parts "come from and via China" instead of being made in China. It is just guesswork on their part and most components they find, that are foreign, are made by Western companies.

40 percent of the electronics including semiconductor products in the U.S. military are of Chinese origin despite major derisking efforts. Maybe they just can’t help it?

Review of the last Iskander strike on an M142 HIMARS system. Sometimes I think the commenter is a nitwit. Anyway, it's a rare strike in daylight. Two thing confirm this is not a decoy. One it was tracked while moving. The second which the footage didn't include was that there's escort vehicles.

The Iskander took out the M142, followed by the Tornado-S. It looked like the Tornado-S missed but I doubt it, there must have been other targets, namely the escort and supporting vehicles, hiding around the site. It is doubtful the launcher operated alone. The Russians meant business here, they wanted to destroy the spare missiles and it's crew too.


This Bradley was spraying Russian positions. An ATGM was fired but it hit the ground just before it hit the Bradley. Thus caused damage to the Bradley, which still managed to move around. A second ATGM finally managed to knock out the Bradley with a direct hit, but the some of the crew members managed to escape the vehicle. A good indication that this was a tough vehicle capable of protecting it's crew. As for the survivors the video didn't include the full length of the footage where the surviving crew was finished off by Russian artillery.

FAB bombing of the city of Zaporozhye resulted in one failed FAB-500 bomb. This bomb, referred to as the FAB-500T features a more streamlined body that enhances aerodynamics and boosts it's range matched to the new UMPK kits. This allows the bombs to be used on greater standoff ranges. Bad news for Ukrainian infrastructure for the coming months.

How can someone like you that spent years in a defence forum, fall for this propaganda so easily? You don't stop to ask yourself whether a country with 150 million people would be willing to let go of such a valuable and expensive crew that takes years to train, in this manner?

Psst... Russia haters will hate! But seriously, we have to admit that the amount of Anti-Russian and Anti-Chinese propaganda is reaching levels unheard of years before, so even the best analysts might fall for the nonsense that is being spewed out by the neocon/neolib regime establishment and its acolytes and vassals.
