I'm not up-to-date on current Russian military capabilities but do they not have engineer battalions? Pontoon bridges have been a thing since the US Civil War.
Building a field expedent bridge is fucking difficult. Especially if the other side that bridge is supposed to go to is constantly shooting at your combat engineers and their equipment. You think they have a few bridge laying tanks in their pockets?
 
To be fair - unlike something like the SImposons and Bleach coming out with their opinions on some conflict - if they had Putin as an actual honorary member it's more understandable that they'd have to address it.
They didn't remove him. They only suspended him lol

alright think about it. i genuinely think the taliban should negotiate the ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. the taliban has historically been attack by Pro Euro forces and Russia before.

it’s not israel is is undeniably pro western
it’s not Switzerland who is neutral but is blatantly pro western
not poland which hates russia and is pro nato
it’s not belarus which is clearly pro russia and being used as an attack platform for russia. it’s just makes sense for the taliban to do it. they have nothing to gain but legitimacy as a state.
It wouldn't change that the Taliban are as fucked as any other neo-caliphate group but boy would it look so so good for them.
Mind you though, people probably already have forgotten that they rounded up women and journalists and other dissidents as soon as they seized the country so who knows.

They do, but they take time to set up, especially the larger bridges needed for tanks and artillery. Unless essential it's often easier to simply reroute the advance, especially if the location for that pontoon bridge is in the range of enemy artillery and air support.
 
What's with this site's pro-ukrainian bias?
Because wars of aggression are shit, and all the real politik moralizing counts for nothing when the rocket hits apartment complex.

Not at all compatible. This is as close to conventional war as the World has seen the past 60 + years.
Wtf are you on about? The first few months of the Iraq War were perfectly conventional. The only difference here is that the Iraqi Army disintegrated at the first sign of trouble and the Ukrainian Army has thus far done no such thing.

That said, Russia is under a serious time crunch now. They clearly had hoped to decapitate Ukraines central government at the start of the war, but Ukraines President just did not have the good sense to flee into exile with a plane fool of stolen cash like he was supposed too.

Now the general mobilization has begun and since this is a war aggression, pretty much all Ukraine has to do is make sure its Army has food and ammunition. The soldiers are gonna do it for free. Russias Army cannot do this, and 150,000 men is not enough if Ukraine manages to hang on long enough to field its new auxiliary brigades. Russia will have to go to general mobilization as well and call up its reserves. Something that is not going to go over well politically.

Time will tell.

They have whatever their equivalent is. There was a video posted on probably day 2 of them sending IFVs and stuff across a pontoon bridge.

Why not, we do. The Russians have air superiority-yes, there is a Uke air force and no I'm not seeing/hearing any air action that would convince me the Ukes are an operational threat to Russia.
 
More video from Kharkiv.

More of the Ukrainian militia. These are the same guys that destroyed that convoy.

This is the most boring war ever.

Here's some smoke and some stuff in the road.
What the hell did you expect? Some guy pulling a Tarrant and first person filming himself running around and gunning down russians like its COD? Its only been three days. Unless you actually suspected the Russians to just carpet bomb and flatten every city while fighting through the debris WW2 style. Which would be a massively retarded move on Russia's part btw.
