Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022): Thread 1 - Ukrainian Liars vs Russian Liars with Air and Artillery Superiority

[GoGoNoJo]

Has it been confirmed that Belarus has joined the invasion? I've heard people claiming that Ukraine's Navy and Air Force have taken heavy losses- anyone have sources for those claims?

HQ of National Guard destroyed?

Also, China is late.

This too, wonder how/if things are going to change just because of this point. Strange to imagine in general.

I was thinking similarly. Civilians have always documented war, but this time it's in HD. Ukraine, while far from a major power in the world, is not like some middle eastern third world country that are still using 2002 flip phones. Additionally, the world is more connected now more than ever, we've all probably interacted wiht some Ukranians at some point - its not like the early 2000s where you aren't going to see/feel a war across the world.

In the coming days I'm sure we'll be seeing more graphic imagry.

Like I said before:

Millennials and Gen-Zer's deserve the world they made.

"Sergeant, I can't run out to the firing line, I can't find my kneepads or my elbowpads!"

The oldest Millennials right now are 40. Feel free to blame us for how fucked up everything is once the Speaker of the House or the President or the Senate Majority Leader or at least a couple of three stars have been from our generation for a couple cycles.

The Ukraine ministry of defense is sending out info right now.

My take: the fog of war is real. we should be aware that we are getting this info from twitter of all place.
What is true as far as i can tell:
Cruise missile strikes across region, targeting all major cities in the eastern regions and on the Dnieper.
The strikes on the cities and airports seem to be missiles only, no aircraft.
massive artillery attacks across the border.

What is not confirmed as being 100% true:
Mariupol being overrun
A raid on a airport in Kiev with paratroopers.
landings in Odessa
bombing in Moldova

in fact, there is NO INFORMATION from or about Ukrainian ground forces for either side. this strikes me as jamming and EM control on both sides. if there were mass defections we would have heard about it by now.

The fact that the ukrainian air force is reportedly still in the game means this might drag on a bit longer that was initially feared. Ukraine will lose. that most is almost a certain outcome but a complete collapse and surrender to the country that has killed 12 million of their people in living memory seems a bit outlandish.

Tu-95 turboprops could supposedly be heard on some of the videos. Not sure if they were Ukrainian or Russian. Not sure if it's true either.

Nope. This is the opening salvos. Main ground offensives aren't going to be launched yet, and it's going to be painful as hell for the russians.

They are running, they are hiding, they are getting their shit wrecked over and over. What the fuck are you talking about? New maps are already being drawn, you daft bastard.

Also add this to the "List of reasons Techpriest is wrong", as well as any ground resistance having enemy air superiority, no supplies, and fighting an entrenched defense; the Russians are also rather pointedly decapitating all their command structures and infrastructure.

 

[Meat Target]

I mean, they're not wrong. We might like to shitpost and share a laugh, but really this shit is fucked.

Black comedy helps the mind cope when confronted with fucked up shit. It's why it's so common among the military, cops, EMTs, and those who work in the funeral industry.

 

[Herty]

Nope. This is the opening salvos. Main ground offensives aren't going to be launched yet, and it's going to be painful as hell for the russians.

Really, huh... Then why is that the Ukraine military is already fleeing, errrr, i mean withdrawing?

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

Well now.

Chinese war ships entered Taiwanese territorial waters. It's too soon to tell anything as this tends to happen occasionally. Could be a demonstration.

Before everyone shits themselves, this isn't exactly verified.

Biden says he's gonna put more sanctions

It worked for the Carter Administration, didn't it?

It's 2022 and active militaries are tweeting their kill streaks.

those videos were from inside russia. the TU-95's launched cruise missiles from inside russia. they would be sitting ducks if they went over Ukraine directly.

America needs to take this while Putin is busy.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Several of the 13 soldiers killed in Afghanistan (which started before they were born, or before first grade) were zoomers, so I guess they deserved it because 13 year olds have pronouns in their twitter bio!

You're right. That snide bit of shitposting was out of line at this time.

I don't trust anything now.
We're lost without Tim Pool reporting from Ukraine
