The War in the Ukraine

While the pro-Russians continue their lies, the Ukrainian troops continue to advance, retaking territory, expelling the invaders, destroying their weapons and taking prisoners of war.





Remember guys, all these Russian losses have been for "good will"

Sounds like Russians are once again letting DPR, LPR, and Kherson militia to be the bait for Ukrainian army to bite. We'll have to see how the situation further develops.

We have confirmation that the attack at Andriivka folded already? The maps seem to show it but I'm curious for more sources.

What?! They have Leopard tanks?! So the deal with the Spanish is indeed legit then?

Probably Leopard 1's, if anything. The Spanish Leo 2 were claimed to be in such a terrible condition there was no way to fix in time or in a cost effective way.

GodRektsNoobs said:

Leopard 1 or 2s? I see greater possibility of Leopard 1, since they are already deathtraps in modern warfare and Europeans can't wait to dispose of them.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Later Leopard 1s were just fine against early model T-72s and T-62s, and the Russians have used both of those in this conflict. It will also make mince meat of a BMP (and is arguably slightly better protected than one also). Wouldn't want to face off against a T-72B3M or T-90 in one however.

Isn't it more likely that some journalist saw a Gepard and thought "The German tank! Must be a Leopard!"?

I thought they were merely due to careless smokers?

I think it's possible, but if it is Gepard then that would tell us some useful info too. It's been only what? 1 week since AFU got their hands on Gepard? If they're at the front line and used in SHORAD role then we'll see just how good it is against Su-25 and low flying Su-34. If AFU is using them like BMP-T in flat ground then it would seem a terrible waste.

From the pro-Russian Telegram channels:

A group of mobilized LDNR fighters was captured in Kherson Oblast.

Kiev's resources lie that they are members of the Russian army, even though this is a lie, but in any case our brothers have been captured and must be rescued.

Russia is moving huge reinforcements into Kherson through Crimea.
