I got a close up for the patch

For reference this patch features wolf Akela from the 1973 Soviet "Adventures of Mowgli", featuring his famous "This will be a glorious hunt" quote. I am almost positive that the deceased was part of Russia's The Wolves' Hundred Cossacks. Quite notorious.

The Ukrainian military publishes a video of the capture of the Olkhovka settlement, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 70 Russian soldiers were killed and 27 were captured during the fighting. Long video

So it's been about a month since the invasion and who is winning besides the defense contractors and those who have stock in these companies?

So are these guys particularly war crime prone?

You really fail to grasp who benefits from the corruption and who ends up paying for it. The US government sends taxpayer funded "aid" and that aids gets dispersed back in the form of kick backs to US mega corps and politicians. The US government isn't bleeding Ukraine dry, they are bleeding you (the taxpayer) dry.

Right now we are spending military expenditure to destroy Russian military how is this a bad investment? Why are we saving the military budget up for? So we could destroy more sand niggers? For once the budget which you or I wont see or will not be circulated into society is actually being used for its jackpot purpose. Killing Chinks on top of this would be the icing on the cake in terms of what military budgets should go towards.

>Still haven't taken down a lot of them
>Casualties aren't as high as NATO is claiming
Just from openly visible equipment losses, the Russians have lost a fuckload of equipment. 300 tanks, baseline, which is between 10 to 15% of their invasion force, and the most numerous losses comes from their newest stock. That's bad. Really really bad. Russia's casualty estimates are absolute total bullshit, including claiming more drones shot down and more tanks destroyed than Ukraine has in inventory. Ukrainian claims are exaggerated, sure, but the Russian MoD's lying its ass off constantly.

Speaking of that, this thread goes into detail how the sanctions are going to completely fuck Russia's military, as well as how Russians really did think this would be a cake walk and a repeat of 2014 and how the elites are starting to flee in the higher parts of the thread.

TLDR version, Russia can produce shit like tanks and jets, but they don't actually produce the things to make said tanks. Bearings, high end computer equipment, industrial machines, they aren't produced by Russia. So they can't make really make newer, more expensive designs and now can't even make new tanks and might not even be able to make repairs or heavy maintenance on their existing stock, it's why newer, more expensive designs like the T-14 and SU-57 have been practically cancelled after the 2014 sanctions hit them, and it's a problem they didn't fix in the past 8 years.

Depends. General trends are that Ukraine is winning at night US, Russia during daylight US, with intense fighting during sunrise and sunset.

The West is winning along side China and Russia and Ukraine are losing. They are the ones paying in blood.

By Russian standards or?

The Ukrainian politicians and military leaders who are siphoning off chunks of western military aid for resale later are making out like bandits.

I also like how the Pro-Russian maps which people in this thread posted were more exagerated then the invasion map the Russian DoD posted like even the actual Russians are not willing to lie as hard as the shills. The Russian map is almost in line with the Ukrainian map.

I won't protest it any more than I protest any instance of the government spending money it doesn't have in the first place. At least this way the military-industrial complex gets to stay afloat without having to invade another shithole to justify spending money on it.

Russia's secondary mission of genociding all journalists operating in Ukraine seems to be progressing nicely.

This is a very impressive scorecard.

Its sort of been passed by but the fact that NATOs stock of guided ATGMS and MANPADS have already been exhausted by this little war and they can't come close to manufacturing enough to meet even Ukraine's demand should be a big wake up call

Ukrainians didnt just stop being slavniggers when Russia invaded. I would be surprised if even 50% of those made it to the battlefield. The rest are already in Africa and the ME by now. Flash a few grand under the nose of a dude who only makes a few hundred bux a month and he is going to let a few fall off the truck.

Going to be entertaining when Muhammad starts popping passenger jets on approach to Paris airport in a year or 2 with some Javelins
