Can you not go heavy on moderating? It feels oppresive, you may not notice since you are a mod.

Second question is, are you pakistani and support freedom? For obvious reasons of allowing as much as possible.

You are allowed to provide updates in this thread, be it Ukrainian or Russian.

You have an argument, make it. If it holds ground, excellent. If not, move on and focus on providing updates. No hard feelings.

There are members who provide Ukrainian updates. Not penalized.

There are members who provide Russian updates. Not penalized.

Those who were questioned, cautioned, or penalized - this was due to a reason.

But some of the members were mocking Moderating decisions and Mods in this thread. This will not be tolerated anymore.

This forum provides Freedom of Expression but within the bounds of Forum Rules. Some members have thought that Law of the jungle apply here where Mods and Moderating decisions can be ridiculed, bashed, mocked, and such. Do not do this.

Indeed, Ukrainian Tank destroyed a Ukrainian armored vehicle. Some are saying that the armored vehicle was stuck and the tank was trying to move it, but it did not work out.

This tank withstood Russian attack though. Good tiles on it.

The German Italian IRIS-T air defence 1 system that’ll protect 30 sq kilometres ( that’s radius of around 40 miles) yikes are these Figures correct ! Logic of it being so close to the action going by the radius figures !

The limitation lies in the range of interceptor missiles. They have a range of 40 km. Iris combined passive and active 360 degree radars can track 180 objects simultaneously within a radius of 250 km.

Iris was initially developed to provide air cover to big urban cities.

Diehl Defence erweitert IRIS-T SLM um optionale passive Radarfähigkeiten von HENSOLDT | Diehl Defence

Durch die Ergänzung um optionale passive Radarfähigkeiten stärkt Diehl Defence sein etabliertes System für die bodengebundene Luftverteidigung (GBAD) IRIS-T SLM und steigert so die Aufklärungsfähigkeit des Gesamtsystems.

No longer neutrality. Swiss first parliament chamber Nationalrat approved the buy back sale of leopards 2 to Germany. Now waiting for the approval of Ständerat, the second parliament chamber.
Germany will refit them, either give to Ukraine or give Ukraine the most modern version leopards 2 A8.

Wie steht es um die Verteidigungsfähigkeit der Schweiz? 25 Leopard-2-Panzer will Bundesrätin Viola Amherd nach Deutschland weitergeben, 46 stillgelegte Panzer sollen modernisiert werden.

Leoparden sollen an Deutschland gehen – Botschafter ist erfreut

Der Nationalrat ist bereit, 25 stillgelegte Leopard-2-Panzer der Schweizer Armee auszumustern. Eine Hürde gibt es aber noch.

He's very light.

Only those that deserve punishment are targeted.

I think it is safe to assume that the Ukraine counter-offensive has been shout down effectively. I know this kind of offensives especially when the foe has already prepared everything for it..

But But.. It is to early to say that entirely because the offensive is approx only 10 days old and there is plenty of time left to go and see if they can breach the russian lines everywhere but honestly I can't envision anything else then a dog-fight and a grind for years

Ukraine hasn't even engaged the majority of its brigades into the battle, we are still in the probing/shaping phase until a breach is found to deliver the main blow. Russian bloggers have also reported large Ukrainian troops movement in the Kupyansk/Kharkiv area, let's see. It will probably take weeks if not months to materialize. One thing however is western countries won't stop their support to Ukraine, in fact will only increase it.


It seems Ukraine was able to recover some of the damaged/destroyed Bradleys and are being taken back to the repair plants.

I wonder if they managed to get the Leo’s back or if they are still in no man’s land.
