Or are we at Ukraine Whining On Twitter O'Clock after Russian victories during daylight

A bridge in Kharkiv was blown up while a Russian MT-LB was still on it.

and those desires may be what exactly?

For a start, it would be excellent psyops for one Slavic people to say to another Slavic people, "We are your brothers and are here to liberate you, not oppress you. Put your weapons away and go back to your homes and families." - Much less resentment from that than from being imprisoned, away from your loved ones.
Also, prisoners have to be housed, guarded and fed. They are a huge resource drain on a fighting force, and it's not work for soldiers anyway. I'm quite sure Russia could hold them as prisoners, I just think Russia doesn't want to.

Learn to read before you respond like a gay 11 year old on TikTok. The post I was quoting basically asked something like "Why would anyone support Russia?" and I gave a geo-political response. I guess your post is another example of the types of people that are fanatically pro-Ukraine. Angry, mad, one dimensional.

Or am I to expect some 150 IQ response from you why EE nations lining their borders with missiles and finger waving at Russia is a good idea instead of just mutual cooperation?

We can't have mutual cooperation because they invaded Ukraine. But its our fault this happened somehow.

Looks like things are pretty much ogre for the Ukrainians in Kharkov.

They really should stop giving vodka to the drivers, at least.

And miss out on all those drifting tanks to slavic hardbase? No thanks, maor vodka!

Based on the wing pattern, I'm gonna guess MiG-21.

Ukraine doesn't operate the MiG-21, believe it's a Frogfoot

T-90s are starting to be sighted (abandoned, along with an SPG). Red band indicates it's Homorussian. Second image I believe is another angle of the T-80 from earlier being finished off with an NLAW after the crew refused to surrender.

jesus it is getting brutal out there

The town of Kupiansk, east of Kharkiv, was captured by Russian troops today.

Looks like a tiny force took it over with no real opposition.

Why would a Russian helicopter use the acronym for "Forward Looking infrared" instead of the Cyrillic equivalent?

In Russia FLIR is ТПН iirc, I have no fucking idea how it's marked on their fire control systems tho.

Based on the wing pattern, I'm gonna guess MiG-21.

Already been ID'd as a SU-25 Frogfoot

 

[MindYourSeabiscuits]

Fucking wow, your really trying justify brutal warfare all because Russia has been called meanie words. Fucking hilarious. some of you are the same brain sphere as twitter tards comparing this very human crisis to cape shit. Miss me with this 4 year old mentality! Ya know I wish some of you could be forcibly conscripted, because clearly your very divorce from reality when your trying to argue that war is justified because the west called daddy vlad short or some other such grade school insult. Just some real weird shit if you ask me.

If you think this has been brutal warfare you are very naive and retarded.

Russians in control of areas close to Kharkiv city centre.

This was the situation about 35 minutes ago:

Did it get stuck in the mud or something? Jesus Russian tanks are being abandoned more than Germans abandoned the Panther.

 

[IKOL]

So let me get this straight. Ukraine just handed out firearms to the general population and now all of the stores have been looted? Definitely Russia's fault.

POOTLER STOP ROBBING UKIES SMALL BUSINESSES!!!

Yeah, I was wondering that myself.
Really feel like killing myself over this screw up.
I mean, not really, but... fuck.

Thousands of ukrainian dead, hundreds of russians, dozens if not hundred of combat vehicles lost on both sides. Gonna go out on a limb and say its reasonably brutal.

Based on what i've been seeing and hearing; i'd wager out of gas or disabled.

FLIR is a name brand, like "Colt" or "Rheinmetall". I doubt ITAR guidelines would allow FLIR to design and market imagers for Russia. I've seen non FLIR infrared systems marked as "IR" or "Infrared" on thermal scopes and control systems for missiles so I would assume the Russians wouldn't use FLIR and just use whatever means infrared or thermal on their systems.

It's not brutal until it's like this:
