Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Techpriest]

If that's the fakest thing he's ever seen in his life, he hasn't seen shit. If it's a fake, its a top quality one.

It’s fishy, mostly because of the lack of blood. That might be video footage issues but any bullet that takes out a kneecap should have a hell of a lot more blood involved with it, especially a close range shot like that.

Journalists explaining "Here's why torturing enemy prisoners who surrendered to you is no big deal " when?

 

[01169]

The fact that they're not outright denying it says a lot about it being real. But yeah "war crimes" and atrocities are to be expected.

 

[Hell on Earth]

i cant believe citizen militias are torturing invaders in an ethnic conflict wtf

More like a proxy war between globohomo and Chyna.

And the drooling retard or the white Mexicans might start WW3.

You link to your own histrionic greentext. The Russians still haven't taken it. That seems a better mark of competence than the opinion of some random on a gossip forum. The two battalions and the naval brigade are doing more than alright. Re-posting this to trigger you for you seem tilted.

Latin and Central America had some truly based elements who just couldn't stop putting Commies in the ground. I doubt Joe is at a mental level to idolize anyone except the nurse aide who changes his depends.

lmao, sieg heil you nazi frog.

 

[Random Internet Person]

regardless if that specific video is fake or not, theres plenty of footage of both sides abusing / humiliating their prisoners.

I’ve also seen a lot of cartel / gangster torture videos being played off as if they’re from Ukranian / Russian militaries.

obviously this kind of shit is going to happen in an ethnic conflict

How long before we see beheadings, mutilations, and people and animals being fed things they shouldn’t eat?

More like a proxy war between globohomo and Chyna.

And the drooling retard or the white Mexicans might start WW3.

I’d say more Russia/China tag team (if it comes to that), but you’re on the money.

Way to get /pol/ to go off the deep end.

Apparently successful Ukrainian Stugna-P ATGM strike on a Russian tank. More metal for the gyppos.

That sounds unhinged if true. If it is true, some Russkie journoscum should lay off the drugs. Turkiye has long had strong ties with Azerbaijan and we got an early preview of their once mocked drones which made mincemeat, well utter fools of the Armenian forces. The Azeris were tweaking the noses of the Russians a little bit, so it doesn't make sense. The tweeter is from an Azeri think tank, so it could be completely made up. Now it could be just some bloggers, and many bloggers have been scientifically shown to go insane over time.

Institute for Study of War map for today from the above poster of those vids, below. Given the site posting it, it would be more towards the Ukie POV obviously (source) but is nothing less than interesting. Apologies if posted earlier.

Key takeaways​

• Russian Eastern Military District (EMD) Commander Colonel-General Alexander Chayko may be personally commanding efforts to regroup Russian forces in Belarus and resume operations to encircle Kyiv from the west. The Kremlin is highly unlikely to have abandoned its efforts to encircle Kyiv but will likely be unable to cohere the combat power necessary to resume major offensive operations in the near future.
• Neither Russian nor Ukrainian forces conducted major operations northwest of Kyiv in the last 24 hours.
• Ukrainian forces counterattacking east of Brovary since March 24 successfully retook territory late on March 26.
• Ukrainian forces conducted limited counterattacks in Sumy Oblast on March 26-27.
• Fighting continued around Izyum in the past 24 hours, with little territory changing hands.
• Russian forces continued steady advances in Mariupol.
• Ukrainian partisans around Kherson continue to tie down Rosgvardia units in the region, likely hindering Russian capabilities to resume offensive operations in the southern direction.

Immediate items to watch:

• Russian forces will likely capture Mariupol or force the city to capitulate within the coming weeks and have entered the city center.
• Successful Ukrainian partisan actions around Kherson will continue to tie down Russian manpower.
• Russia is deploying additional Eastern Military District assets around Kyiv and is likely attempting to restart offensive operations on a limited scale.
• Russian and proxy troops will continue efforts to seize the full territory of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, but will not likely make rapid progress in doing so.

Psh, they should have learned it long before that. The soviets had a large Muslim population, and look how well things there worked out....

It worked out fine as long as they kept them ruthlessly under the yoke; Muslims understand and respect strength. The Soviet failure in Afghanistan was due to trying to win the hearts and minds of Pashtun tribesmen, rather than simply exterminating them.

Since when are they to be expected? Idk, seems like it'd be easier to not torture POWs.

Ballistics sperging regarding the Ukrop POW Torture Video

Disclaimer: I am NOT Dr. Martin Fackler (Father of Modern Ballistics Science)

Gunshot Wounds (GSWs) do not necessarily produce a lot of bleeding especially very quickly, I have watched a lot of Police shooting videos where the viewer gets a good look during approach/medical treatment and there is maybe a shot glass or two worth of blood spilled in these incidents 30 seconds after bullets' impact an area like the thoracic cavity (chest)

For example here is a picture of a I believe Swedish Mercenary somewhere in Africa, he has been shot twice

And here is a video of a man who has been hit in the right shoulder area with a .30 rifle projectile, not all that much blood compared to a really, really bad cut

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7S2EJvFPI8

Edit much more famous Example
Gaige had a Tourniquet applied no more than a minute after sustaining his injury produced by a high velocity fragmenting (which Dr. Fackler determined to be the most effective wounding characteristic) rifle projectile

I'm by no means a military expert, but watching in real time a military unit - LARPers or not - being more incompetent than Redditors, is something I would have never imagined to happen in the wildest of clown world scenarios, but here we are.

Look, if the Azov Battalion starts being less useless than the Redditors, then I'll stop considering them as lolcows. But if Mariu/pol/' falls, then even trannies that pretend to be soldiers have every right to dunk on them as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Wood]

What areas specifically do they operate out of? I love reading up on that sort of stuff.

I mostly heard about them from Czechia. Here's a recent article. Dunno, they pop up in the news every now and then re smuggling/extortion/counterfeiting along with the Russians and Albanians... I don't have anything comprehensive.

A whole ass stream of blood comes pissing out from one of the dude's legs.

He should get an Oscar for managing to out grift BLM in less time.

It's estimated that 500.000 people have died in the Tigray war and it's pretty much an ethnic conflict a la Rwandan genocide.

Ethiopia has de facto stopped existing as a state.

There were also humane episodes in WW2 but you don't hear them often because war is one of more negative extremes of the human experience.

Not been keeping close tabs on that conflict but from what little I've heard it seems pretty brutal. There's probably just as much if not more fucked up shit going on there, we just don't see it because Western media doesn't care as much and fewer people in Ethiopia have smartphones.

If it's an African conflict you can rest assured that even the worst conduct we've seen in this war so far would be humanitarian in comparison.

Guys, I have a bad feeling about the future.

The righteousness of a conflict cannot be determined solely by the number of casualties (or a lack thereof) that a population has endured. And while yes, ethnicity is a large component of the Tigray War, it's ultimately Tigray's single-minded perseverance against its much more nefarious Ethiopian oppressors that makes their war "nobler" than Ukraine's own struggle.

There's of-course humane elements in every conflict, but some conflicts are fought for better causes and with more promising results. Few would dare claim that Hitler waged war for the good of humanity, for example.
