Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

>The ones that get equipment get a mag with 10 bullets at most
Hold up, where's all the fucking equipment NATO was sending? motherfuckers had me thinking they where sending Texas entire GDP worth in M4's and Javelins, where the fuck is all of that going if they ran out of fucking bullets

probably mostly stuck in the east, with their actual military lol. the majority of the supplies did stream into them these past several years, after all...the twitter virtue signalling countries like germany and others in EU have been doing the last few months is probably mostly defective, done primarily to well...virtue signal as opposed to actually do any good.

Crossposting an article (archive) from the r/VolunteersForUkraine thread because it answers some questions people here have been asking about the foreign volunteers. I don't think it's been posted here yet.

For starters, the volunteers are indeed being paid. Their contract stipulates they'll receive 7,000 hryvnia a month, which is roughly between $230-$240.

Secondly, yes, the Ukrainians do technically consider them to be deserters if they accept the contract, get into combat once and then attempt to flee to Poland.

In practice, however, they're just foreigners. The Ukrainians don't care if they run back to Poland.

Thirdly, the contract says they will fight for an indefinite period of time. The Ukrainians were happy to tell this to journalists but it seems the volunteers themselves are totally out of the loop and don't know what they're signing up for.

When you get a bunch of redditors, use them however you want.
Serious, wtf did these asshole though it was going to be? There is a reason why Ukraine want people with previous military experience, who know what they get into.

CNN interview some of the volunteers.
Anyway, I am still surprised that Ukraine still manged to hold on.

What a weird universe where its a Fox News pundit opposing the war at all costs.

And Fox News can't fire him, because their network will die.

IIRC during the Iraq War, some liberal pundits were fired for opposing the war.

Including Bill Meower. A guy who has been canceled both by the right and the left for the horrific crime of having his own opinions, rather than just mindlessly adopting the orders du jour of the Democrats.

 

[White_N]

Every piece of shit modern franchise will have that shit injected into it.

I would be extremely unsurprised if some ghost of kiev/captain Ukraine woke Marvel comic came out followed by immediate injection into whatever cookie cutter film they dump out next for the consoomers.

The clown world is already ahead of you.

The devil has come to Odessa. Pictured with the former commander of AIDAR battalion. Hope the Russians have a cruise missile ready for him.

probably keeping the precious ammo and gear for their own real soldiers that they trained themselves, not give it away to random redditors who will desert three days into their deployment anyway

It's fairly normal activity if you're a redditor to agree to some subservient cuck contract. They're redditors. Duh!

I don't know much about that website, but I find it funny how wikipedia calls it out for fake news.

You're probably right and it makes me laugh that they are literally using the redditors as nothing more than meat shields. Not that they deserve better

Why go into an active warzone without any of your own equipment? Are you just not able to travel there with a gun period?

Pretty sure the Ukies see foreign "volunteers" in the same way gypsies do an unattended wallet.

Slavs are not friendly, welcoming, tolerant people and these are not nice, high trust societies. They're more like the yard in a medium security prison. If that wasn't true, they wouldn't have been brutally murdering their own countrymen - people they've actually related to - for 8 years. So the good stuff will be going to Ukranians, I doubt they give a single fuck about their Redditor human shields. I wouldn't worry so much about the Russians if I was them, these guys have an excellent chance of catching a bullet as soon as a Ukie decides to take his MREs.

Wow, I bet putin has egg on his face. Haha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Finally, I know what my grandfather was on about when he bitched about the "Goddamn Japs!" 40 years after the war.

Agree on this.
Think about it. It make sense to give the weaponry you get from the west and other countries to your frontlines troops. After that you go down with your weaponry.
1. Frontline troops get the best gear.
2 second line troops get worse gear, but still workable.
3. these get relics from the soviet times.
4. personal own weaponry.
5. redditors gets nothing.

 

[Mussi]

The Russians haven't made a proper encirclement yet.

The Ukries can still pull back from the frontlines and into the chokepoints that are the cities of Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia.

That's not even remotely true. Ukraine and the sister republics both discovered that retreating from a major battle in this conflict incurs a similar amount of casualties to assaulting a fortified enemy position due to how advanced the enemy is, so any attempt to pull back without significant AA and air support is a massacre waiting to happen.

 

[DumbDude42]

Why go into an active warzone without any of your own equipment? Are you just not able to travel there with a gun period?

gun ownership in europe is very restrictive, carrying guns in public even more so, and transporting them across national borders too.
your average reddit volunteer from western europe doesn't own a rifle, can't legally own a rifle, and if he got caught carrying or transporting one in public he would be arrested before getting anywhere near ukraine.
