Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

The cookie lady is unhappy with how the talks are proceeding, says "the Russians have not yet fully learned how tough the Ukrainean military is, they are taking incredible losses on the Russian side".

Well, it seems this video might confirm the reports that came out over last night.

The Russians seem to have retreated from Northwestern Kiev. Video in question celebrates taking back the town of Hostomel. Source

Also, here's a picture of Ivankiv, seemingly confirming that yes, the Russians have retreated from this front, as that town was basically their only supply route. Source

Is the war over? Of course not. But it seems that the heavy shelling near Kiev the past couple days was to cover a widespread Russian retreat.

The delusion in the comment section is enough to make the biggest ukecope-posters in this thread blush.




Edit: ^^^^^^ I stand corrected

If you read the Scott Ritter thread that's been posted a couple of times the Russians are doing what he said they would do, withdraw forces from the pinning operations around Kiev now that they've destroyed enough Ukrainian infrastructure that their army is strategically immobile and will redeploy & concentrate to destroy the main formation of the Ukrainian army in the donbass

In Mariupol, the Russian military bake bread for the residents of the city

The military showed how to bake bread in the field for the residents of the city.

Bread is prepared carefully and wiZ love

Have a delicious meal in the feed. Military cooks in Ukraine provide hot meals to Russian servicemen

Lunch menu for Russian servicemen on the front line: canned vegetable soup, buckwheat porridge, apple compote, as well as gingerbread, waffles and bread with butter.

Pretty wholesome I wouldn't mind a whole TV show of military cooking.

Russia ball is big and Ukrainball is small, why didn't Russia ball just sit on Ukraine ball??? Maybe because Russia ball is stupid and also does not have bullets and oil??

Maybe, but I've been keeping tabs on multiple Russian Hardliners, people who get a hard on for the thought of annexing the entirety of Ukraine, seeing the Russians retreat, even if it's to redeploy, is likely to cause a large amount of seethe that it might not be in the cards.

Dishonorable slavs, the correct military method is for noble champions of each side to stride proudly to the front of their formations, loudly proclaim their lineages, and engage in single combat where God will decide who shall be victorious

Some spicy news from Odessa:

Commander of local territorial defence Andrey Kislovskiy got caught in an underground brothel with a tranny.
This brothel is situated in a hotel "Nemo" which he owns. Dolphinarium serves as a cover for a brother there. Kislovskiy's family owns a big private zoo in Odessa and some tourism business in Crimea. He is also a politician.
No specific reason for why he had to be detained. I bet it's something along the lines of having ties with Russia.

So yeah, continuation of businesses dealing with other business.

This is why I shy away from playing chess with Russians, I tend to lose unless I concentrate really really hard.

Generally disagree. Maybe you're good at chess, maybe I'm just pants-on-head retarded, but Russians ALWAYS win at chess. Even the Russian homeless (not part of the Russian chess intelligentsia) are god-tier.

Helicopters have a maneuverability advantage that fixed wing aircraft cannot compete with, which allows them to use terrain masking in ways fixed wing cannot. The Panavia Tornado was designed for high speed low altitude attacks, and 7 were shot down in Iraq in their runway bombing runs. It got the British to rethink the whole low altitude attack thing and it was shifted to mid-altitude strikes for the rest of the war.
I don't see how the A-10 could light up the convoy without air superiority and dedicated SEAD support. From what we know the convoy received harassing fire from armed drones and precision artillery strikes until it dispersed, which is the most realistic form of attack Ukraine could have pulled off.
If you wanted to wreck bridges and railways, unironically an aircraft like the F-16 would be better at it. The A-10 was designed for a Vietnam style conflict and level of technology, where the aircraft like the A-6 and A-7 did the deep strikes and the A-10 existed to fill in a gap in capabilities because fast jet pilots couldn't see shit on the ground and were expected to drop payload into the jungle without hitting friendlies.


They can "tank" some amount of 14.5mm fire but only critical areas are armored against 23mm. Tunguskas and Pantsirs have 30mm cannons which I wouldn't be optimistic about.
In the age of continuous rod warheads which can slice aircraft in half, armor plates don't matter as much as they used to.

I would note that for 40 years now it's been theorized by NATO analysts that Tunguskas and later Pantsir will chew up any helicopters or low to mid altitude aircraft daring to even look at an area of operation involving the Russians, but that has never occurred even though they've been deployed in multiple wars, notably the Syrian, Yemeni, and now Ukrainian war, where it's capability is not bad, but it's not the torrent of death some people think it is, for example Manpads being a far more numerous and effective threat to helicopters than AA platforms

In Dnepropetrovsk, an old man on a bicycle was seen near a burning reed, accused of being an arsonist and tied to a pole.

Question now is when will Russia evacuate their border towns and cities and stop using their civilians as human shields against Ukrainian raids lol

It's true. I'm not even Russian and the idea that I'll have to see Kiev spelled as Kyyyv for the foreseeable future makes me wake up at night in cold sweats. Putler has failed us for all time.

everyone IRL still pronounces it as 'Kiev' tho, not KYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIV - so ukranians will just have to cope and seethe with that fact just as I must cope and seethe with this ungodly bright new layout.

Well he does admit he was setting the grass on fire. Lord be my wintess, there are enough of these fuckers around every summer. I do not know why they are doing it, we get forest fires and burned-out houses because of these dumb cunts. There is no explanation: even the man in the video says "it just happened" when he is asked "why you were doing this".



Note that there was a lulzy homophobic social ad in Ukraine specifically against this kind of thing a couple of years ago. Unless its fake.

I asked friends in Russia if support has gone up or down within their circles. They told me “up, for sure”. I asked why. They replied they have nothing left to lose. With all of the sanctions, flight bans and brands leaving, they must win the war. Winning would make it worth it

So much for Russians rejecting the war: President Vladimir Putin’s approval rating in Russia has soared since he launched his invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24—to 83% from 71% last month, according to Levada...

War support has likely gone up because they believe the propaganda that there isn't a war, and that Ukraine is unjustly declaring war by striking Russian soil

Don't underestimate the near jewish victim mentality of a vatnik
