Yeah and i'm pretty sure that's a t-72.

I can't really tell Russian tanks apart either and even I know that T-90 has those two big IR lights that looks like giant eyes.
I also know that cage armour is to force HEAT rounds to pre-detonate, so that it disrupts the HEAT round's optimum stand off range. Now we can argue that in today's world with tandem warheads it doesn't do very much, but the concept is not a joke.

The fact that he's like that doesn't fill me with much confidence on his numbers.

As if a country with no anti ship missiles, no air force and no navy can take out a ship.

Yet for days multiple western "experts" were repeating the Ukrainian claim that this ship had been sunk ad verbatim. The only evidence cited was blurry picture of what was clearly its smoke plume. Want to bet how many will now retract that claim?

This should be called the Copium War. Spamming out all this fake news may feel good but it won't win you the war.

It might start out as a joke but majority of Westerners believe it is true. That is what scare me.

A lot of posters on this board also believed it. In fact they repeated these western media propaganda pretty regularly. I never trusted oryx because even when you look at the images, it seems they took lots of liberty with assumed Russian losses.

They know that if they give something to Ukraine, part of it will be in Russian hands soon... Ukraine will receive weapons that passed their expired dates. Like the German manpads that most where not fieldable...

Do the Russians not have the same?

Conflicting reports. Previously it was negotiations about neutrality, now the Ukrainians deny it. Dunno, I personally think that Russia hasn't bombed them enough

Zelensky says one thing one day, and then says another completely different thing the next day. He says one thing in one sentence, then he says the complete opposite in the next sentence.

Perhaps the Western media can do some research and shed some light on the speed of NATO's Eastward Expansion.

Yep, news headline 2040 - "All quiet on NATO-China frontier".

Every number is supported with photographic evidence. You can click on the link and see each piece of equipment.

What’s this I’m hearing of Ukrainian counter attack in Kiev and other areas? Sounds petty foolish to launch offensives when you have no air cover. The rebels in Syria would the same thing over and over again in Aleppo/Hama region. They would suffer horrific casualties and lose more territory.

They've learnt their lesson and there hasn't been a major counter attack in days. They seem to be holding position during the day and moving back at night.

Last night a big convoy got taken out leaving Kharkov. They had turned off all vehicle lights thinking that would save them. Apparently WW2 tactics are still a viable strategy against modern air forces.

That really happened around Kharkiv?
