Re: News & thoughts on Putin's invasion of Ukraine

Summary of the offensive actions over the past two weeks. In short, the Russians have basically been able to gain some ground in only one area anear Izyum where the Ukrainians most likely have withdrawn and might continue to do so as they can fall back to the other side of the Donetsk river. Otherwi...

Re: News & thoughts on Putin's invasion of Ukraine

What is good, is that rumours of a coup against Putin are starting to manifest itself. Not sure how believable it is, much less how likely it is it will succeed. However, it would probably be the best end to the war. https://www.cityam.com/kremlin-on-high-alert-as-coup-rumours-grow-in-moscow-disgrun...

Re: News & thoughts on Putin's invasion of Ukraine

Putin also makes this analysis and, in private, I don't think he can draw any other conclusions. And the man is a total idiot, a crazy madman, so I think the main question is what he will do with these conclusions. and let's make no bones about it, he is not the man to apply some self-reflection an...

Re: News & thoughts on Putin's invasion of Ukraine

In my opinion he has already lost the war, he just cannot come to admit it. But, of course, the battle is still raging. It has been what, 2 weeks now since the Russians announced their full blown Donbas offensive? How much ground have they conquered since? It rather seems completely stalled and the ...

Re: ALLIED RESOLVE 2022 + what followed

Remember those one or two Russian Il-76s with paratroopers that Ukraine claimed to have shot down on the first days of the war? There was never any evidence of that (also still no deaths reported of pilots), which makes it rather suspicious. However, this article clearly seems to claim at least one ...

And another Su-25 goes down smoking like a chimney. It is reported that the Ukrainians shot down no less than 10 aircraft today!

Another Su-34 (or so it is claimed) comes falling out of the sky. Quite literally.

Re: ALLIED RESOLVE 2022 + what followed

Not much left of it, but this probably is from a Mi-8 or Mi-24.

Re: News & thoughts on Putin's invasion of Ukraine

And just another dig at the Russian Army. With all their known problems, you would expect that at least the one thing they are built around should be really good: artillery. The Russian Army is a heavy weapons, artillery based army. As can actually be seen by the total destruction they have left in ...

Re: News & thoughts on Putin's invasion of Ukraine

More leaked Russian casualty figures. Readovka for a short while listed 13.414 Russian soldiers killed, 7.000 missing. Keep in mind, this does not include non Russian Army troops like the separatists (estimated 3.000 to 6.000), Chechens (several 100), mercenaries (Bellincat estimates it at 3.000) an...

And adding to the above... here is a short clip showing TWO smoke plumes. Apparantly two choppers were taken out at the same location.

And another Russian helicopter being shot out of the Sky, apparantly near Zaporozhye today. (edit: other tweet claims it is a Ka-52) https://twitter.com/Arslon_Xudosi/status/1517143584348114948?s=20&t=XfspiFm2qNZi8gFgpNRI-g And that list of dead/captured pilots surely is outpacing the list of visual...

Another Russian jet shot down this morning near Izium. Type unknown, but two pilots bailed out.
