Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[nang2]

Separate issue. dont justify killing innocent ppl.

Of course not. I condemn all the people who kill innocent people, Russians or Ukrainians or whoever.

It's equally amazing that US still managed to lose Korean war, Vietnam war, and most recently , Afghanistan.

I saw an interview earlier of the ex-Austrian foreign minister. She asked if just after the defeat in Afghanistan, was this the right time for the US to start a new conflict?

This looks like the kit that Ukraine will require for amoured battles on the Donbas.

Any idea when the Ukrainians will actually have all this stuff in the field?

Kirby confirmed it will be towed artillery, not self propelled.


M777s?

Ukraine needs heavy tanks to root out the Russians from Donbas.

putin on suicide watch

That's a far cry from $1B per week burn US been spending on fighting donkey riders in Afghanistan long after the high intensity part of the conflict.

Why would anyone want to use Javelin to destroy a Grad?

Because they have 7000 of them

Those were not wars but 'special military operations'. As such, we did not 'lose' any 'war' but withdrew because we accomplished our MILITARY objectives.

not too bad the new 800 million USD package.
By such amount of weapons Ukraine can take on an entire Russian tank army.

• 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems;
• 2,000 Javelin, 1,000 light anti-armor weapons, and 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems;
• 100 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems;
• 100 grenade launchers, 5,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, 400 machine guns, and 400 shotguns;
• Over 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenade launcher and mortar rounds;
• 25,000 sets of body armor; and
• 25,000 helmets.

Good God. She thinks there is a right time to start a conflict.

2-4 weeks. Switchblades took a whole month to come.

Javelins Ukrainians been using were the original 2018 supply up until 2-3 week, when 100 extra of them came, and since then it finally turned into a torrent.

It will take 5-15 days for these thousand+ javelins to reach frontlines.

As per Yale professor Timothy Snyder, also a historian, in Putin’s worldview he sees every Ukrainian who refuses to be Russian as Nazi. As such every Ukrainian deserves the death.
The war against Ukraine is designed as “Vernichtungskrieg”.
A racial motivated war of destruction.

That rumour is as real as James Vasquez actually fighting Ukraine

Ukraine needs heavy tanks to root out the Russians from Donbas.

No, not tanks. They need to be mobile. Shoot and scoot tactics would be their best bet. Reason being, Russian/DNR/LNR troops are equipped with potent AT systems such as the Kornet ATGM and Metis M1 (God i sound like tai hai chen). Those systems can pretty much destroy any and all tanks that arent equipped with a hardkill APS of sorts.

Ukraine is in a tight spot regarding Donbass. Their airforce has been rendered useless now and they have lost the ability to use their TB2 UCAVs (which wouldve had a field day considering Donbass' topography).

So their best bet would be to shoot and scoot. Ambush where possible and hold out in cities like the Chechens did in Grozny.

Tanks are king on battlefield. Putin’s army uses ballistic missiles to take out Ukrainian airports, not deployed much of air power probably because of strong Ukrainian air defense.
Anti tank missiles and other sorts are of defensive nature. Putin will not back down.
Zelenskyy needs tanks for the offensive he pressures Germany day by day to have tanks.
