The war hasn't even properly started. Come back in 10 years and we'll see update on situation and how Ukrainians are doing.

I somehow doubt Putin is alive 10 years from now. Lets see how Russia evolves without this fascist personal cult of his.

In Donetsk, the Supreme Court sentenced foreign mercenaries to death. The British Aiden Aslin and Sean Pinner and the Moroccan Saadun Brahim, who participated in the hostilities in Ukraine, were sentenced to death by the court.

In Ukraine, the Ukrainian multiple launch rocket system "Bureviy" with a caliber of 220 mm was noticed. The Bureviy MLRS is a multiple launch rocket system on the chassis of the Czech TATRA T815-7T3RC1 with a wheel formula of 8×8. The MLRS is an upgraded version of the Soviet MLRS 9K57 "Hurricane", developed in the early seventies. During the development, Bureviy was supposed to receive a modern digital fire control system that simplifies the production of data for firing and new means of communication. According to the developers, the MLRS can work in a single reconnaissance and strike circuits of the tactical link and show high performance, whether it is implemented or not is unknown. The launcher and missiles are borrowed unchanged from the basic MLRS "Hurricane", depending on the type of missile, a firing range of 5 to 35 km is provided.

There was a video of the strikes of the Russian army, on the soldiers of the Ukrainian army using anti-tank systems. Judging by the footage, in this episode, the Ukrainian ATGM "Stugna" is mainly used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The events shown in the video took place in Mariupol, in addition, the video gives an answer why there is so much destruction as a result of hostilities. The Ukrainian army actively uses residential buildings to shelter its military personnel.

There will be more Russian president after Putin. Nationalism has taken hold in Russia. The next Russian president will be more nationalistic.

They are defending the city, yet they are to blame for the destruction.
I guess there is a thousend videos of russian armor and personel taking fire hidding in ukrainian residential areas and buildings, why not pointing fingers at Russia?

The DNR kangaroo court has sentenced the three captured members of Ukraine Foreign Legion to death.

Prisoners of War so that is illegal?

No pain. No gain. This makes Russia independent. Just like 1989 Western sanction made China's domestic defense industry independent.

This war is not cheap for Putin. He spends one billion dollar per day on the war. Or 30 billion dollars per month. That’s more than the revenues he earns by selling oil and gas. Ukraine about 10 billion dollars per month. Let’s see how he can keep Russia independent or becomes a chinese slave.

Communist China is more than happy to buy cheap. While they in public hug the war criminal Putin and dream of a New Democratic world order.

HIMARS is easy target for Ka-52M and Mi-28NM which can detect and track it with advanced AESA from dozens of miles away and smash it with long range anti tank missiles called Hermes.

$1 million, migration in the chosen western country and new identity if wanted for any Ka-52 or Mi-28N surrendered

The pilot of this one didn't earned $1 million:

Fox-2... Splash !!!

Mi-28 in Ukraine :

Banned from exporting stolen Ukrainian washing machine...
Another one bites the dust :

Ka-52, Mi-28N or Mi-24 are dead meat for predators like ManPADS and modern AA-guns. Orcs call Ka-52, Mi-28N or Mi-24 as "flying tanks" and as all Russian tanks, these do a long migration just to die in Ukraine as it sucks less than Russia's abysses rulled by Darth Putin... HiWestern MLRS may not need air defences: they also can launch AMRAAM as SAMs...

They can't even fit AESA on $75M Su-35 which gets clubbed like a baby seal by UkrAF Soviet-era MiG-29, likely upgraded with western combat systems

Su-34 ain't got AESA too...

And you say they have AESA on cheap Ka-52 or M-28N????
Then, there is AESA and aesa
PLAAF Senior Pilot Reveals Poor Performance in Joint Exercise With RTAF

The Mistral ManPADS is not well known from the public, but... You really don't want to be in an Orcs' chopper when this baby is around : much better performances than Stinger, no known countermeasures...

M270 can't even beat a bunch of rag tag Taliban let alone Russia

I think that US stayed twice as long as Russia in Afghanistan with barely the quarter of their losses, and they only came to bust Osama bin Laden...
If I remember well, USA demolished the Taliban regime in a very short time lapse, they could have stayed forever, and even annihilated the Taliban insurgency, but at which cost? They should have killed 2 millions Afghans while they just came for a single terrorist... The US military weren't defeated, it's the Afghan army that didn't fought at all when the Yanks pulled out!
Within 3 months in Ukraine, Russia has already lost twice as much personnel as in 10 years in Afghanistan, this implies about 100,000 casualties including 30-35k fatalities... Half of their their tanks have been blown, Russian air force and helicopters can"t operate, they were unable to achieve air superiority.
In fact, the 1991 NATO's 1st Gulf War deployment would give exactly the same beating to today's Russia it then gave to Saddam

There are reports that Ukraine is demanding anti-ship missiles in order to export its wheat……so its blackmail…..

Wtf is going on?

There are plenty of anti-ship missiles shipped anyway…
Why demand something you are already getting?

 

[A.P. Richelieu]

Prisoners of War so that is illegal?

You are not allowed to mistreat Prisoners of War.
Torture is absolutely forbidden.

The Geneva Convention has some strict definitions on mercenaries (which has no rights to become POWs).
A key part is that the soldier must be motivated by money.
A foreign citizen that joins Ukraines army for ”the cause” is not a mercenary. Even if they join for ”the money”, the compensation must be significantly higher than that of an ordinary Ukrainan in a similar position.

PLAAF Senior Pilot Reveals PLAAF Poor Performance in Joint Exercise With RTAF's Gripen-C/D​

Note that J-11D and J-10C are equipped with the same AESA radar as the J-20, FC--31 as well as new JF-17 block.3... Gripen-C uses an upgrade to the 80's Super-Harrier's radar... RTAF also used outdated AIM-9L in WVR and AIM-120C, both are 30+ years old technology.
Swiss Air-Force 2008-2009 comparative evaluation... Note that Rafale was at F2 level : AESA, Meteor, 3rd gen stealth, etc etc came later

Gripen-C is the cheapest and weakest jet fighter in the west, that's what you go for when you have no money and just need air-policing...
In actual NATO procedure, F-22 and Rafale F4 are the spearheads and take out the primary threats, Typhoon and F-35 follow and take out the secondary threats, everything else then comes for the quarry

 

[925boy]

The only different is, Mexico did attack US, well, the free state of Texas, Ukraine never attacked Russia

thats besides the point - If US can go scot free as an obsessive imperialistic abuser, anyone else can do it too, including Russia. No double standards over here. cheers.

 

[RoadAmerica]

China is fully independent when it comes to defense. The West imposed armed embargo on China in 1989 after Tian An Men massacre.

No it isn’t, they make sub par jet engines and we all know they aren’t on the same level when it comes to chips as Taiwan, nobody is. These are undisputed facts so if China isn’t Russia certainty isn’t
