Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[SneedEyeMitch]

Why would you 'feint' a 40 mile caravan towards Kiev if your ultimate goal is to take the east? You do realize how long 40 miles is right?

40 miles?

I'll refrain from getting into a spergfest about intelligence gathering. Besides, it's mid-month, I have my dissertation about all the things I was right about to prepare.

40 miles?

100 miles?

It's not that I am unaware its that they have priorities and unless you fedpost IRL then they really don't care.

Or fedpost online but no one here is doing that afaik. Correct me if I am wrong.

Even if you believe in that narrative, it makes no sense. It would basically mean the Russian High Command decided to mobilize a fuckton of supplies, vehicles and manpower to fuck around on a distraction instead of sending a much smaller force to perform this task. The implications being the same as the Moskva's, there was no enemy strike, we're just that fucking stupid. How does that look for a narrative?!

It's like the reported village strike: Somehow, the Ukrainian forces (that have been operating together with Western Intelligence like clockwork so far) decides that, in the middle of a colossally important conflict, striking a village in the ass end of nowhere, in a residential area, was a good use of their helicopters. The same helicopters that could be used to wreck another refinery, a grouping of armed forces, or even some trains to fuck over their supply logistics, and they pick the fucking dumbest possible target other than magdumping some empty woods or their own base. Was Kadyrov on holiday over there? Putin himself? This shit makes no sense!

Disagree. Anyone sufficiently desperate military accepts women. The advent of the firearm has made anyone a potential combatant.

Believe it or not, I read once that women fare better with heavier weapons due to their center of mass being more appropriate for their handling. Making them excellent snipers and fire support with light machine guns!

More quality reporting from the Australian news website. Although to be fair, it's reproduced from The Sun.

All in the same article.

I'm going to be highly disappointed in Ukraine if they don't make an epic war song about sinking the Moskva.

I like Russia more than Ukraine.

For that matter, I like Russia more than most Western European countries.

He looks like a serial killer, almost all the people at the top of Russian society look like stereotypical serial killers though. You know damn well Putin has a creepy shed with shit in it that would make David Parker Ray blush. Manlets be crazy yo.

Nigga this freak holds the rank of Admiral in the Biden Administration, I'd rather have that killer looking Russian than this failed tranny in my government any day.

I'd rather have neither since both probably murder women on their weekends.

It was Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare. Call Of Duty as a series is kind of propaganda in itself.

The comments are tiring. Normies in the West would gladly execute Russian children by hand if social media told them to.

Believe it or not this is retarded and 99.9999999999999999% of warfighting has nothing to do with trigger pulling. All this "women are good at this war niche thing" bullshit is cope and has no data backing it up.

Anyway, this thread is one of the worst to catch up on. Ukebros seem to hop in around the same time and periodically shit the place up without realizing they're what sets the mood for "pro-Russian" in this thread as people react negatively to their useless posts. Very few are genuinely "pro-Russian" in the way people think "pro-Russian" - plenty of people are just against Ukraine's official nonstop lying. It'd be like the US DoD tweeting out that brave US soldiers save a village from the Taliban when they were in Afghanistan and then "Taliban rapes and massacres entire province" the next day, neither of which are backed up by anything.

At least have the decency to post pro-Ukrainian memes, even though they're losing on the meme front because that side can't meme.

This is pretty good though, thanks.
I'm counting the Moskva and Belgorod raid as the two big Ukrainian wins to latch onto to date.

Vatniks on the internet claim that there were hits during the night on Kharkov and Kiev
Footage is of a previous bombing that i dont think has been posted yet. Everything from today seems to be fucking blurry 120p shit.

edit:
I fucking hope they do it would be funny.

Listen Boris, there's room only for one Winston Churchill larper, and the comedy man from Kvyiv has already claimed the role.

Russia Claims to have found sabotuers working with the ukranian intelligence service. They are whores promised grand reward like rich men to marry for profit in the West and in Russia. Their papers were found along a colonel of the SVRU in Kherson by the name of "Alexander Badenko" .
I cant verify any of this. However using honeypots is extremely common in espionage.

40 miles?

It worked. After all they just parked on the highway.

Personally I'm sort of torn on this. On the one hand I dislike monuments and suchlike being defaced, particularly with faggy propaganda, but on the other; I hate commies and I don't like that those monuments are there to begin with. The statue is aesthetically pleasing though, despite its subject matter.

Not really sure how to feel.

Personally, I prefer to find humour in the fact that it took Russia getting cancelled for the krauts to deface the monuments of communist invaders.

It doesn't take a genius to realise Donbass wasn't the focus. If it was, there would have been no need to invade, or at most, to simply start "protective operations" or whatever term Putin wants to use in the areas claimed by the rebel groups. The fact is that the main thrust of this war was against Kiev. You don't have multiple divisional columns of tanks and trucks and MRAPs rushing down to Kiev alongside an air assault on a major airport in the capital unless the goal was regime toppling. That was the operational focus. You can argue Donbass is the strategic focus, in that Russia would like those regions to be confirmed as legally distinct from Ukraine post-invasion, but that was never going to happen by just fighting in Donbass and Putin knew it. What we see now is Russia attempting to achieve it's strategic goals in a new operation- the first failed, and now the war is being fought the exact opposite way they wanted. It absolutely is cope, not because of the talking points, but because it's just like the Ukrainian supporters were doing a month ago. "Actually Ukraine can lose XYZ, actually Russia doesn't need XYZ, actually this was a feint, actually Ghost of Kinevil is a good lie for morale, actually Russia is protector of tradcathfemboys, actually Ukraine is ready to push in Moscow tomorrow morning", it's all the same shit. Moskva being lost is a huge deal, Russia didn't "feint" an assault on Kiev only to take almost three weeks now to attack elsewhere, and Russia isn't the one who will have to rebuild countless cities if Ukraine even manages to take everything back.

I also agree we shouldn't believe anything. That's why I said "IF". That carries a lot of water. It makes the difference between Moskva being a potential lucky strike or a game changing strategic rebalance. I'm pro-Ukraine insofar as they are a sovereign state defending against an invasion. I have no illusions about the reality of this war. I had none at the start. My prediction from day one was that what is happening now with Ukraine defending but Russia being severely limited in their operational capabilities would occur, but with far more damage to Ukraine than we have seen. I didn't think they'd invade precisely because a rational actor would see there is a very limited chance of success. The war was probably decided in the first 48 hours when Zelenskyy decided to stay in Kiev and the Russians couldn't oust him. Both sides have lied throughout this. Western intelligence predicted the invasion and forced Putin to delay the date of attack. They've been providing a lot of good intelligence to Ukraine. That isn't for nothing. You won't see any of this unless it results in actionable victories. Moskva was probably attacked after Western intelligence told Ukraine where it was and what it was doing, using Western missiles.

Russia is screwed in that they are now a pariah state that even China is wary about interacting with. Even if they win, Russia is going to have to undergo a huge military spending program to recover their forces and Ukraine will have infinite IMF money and a fast-tracked EU membership to rebuild. If they surrender the contested regions, that's the main hindrance to NATO membership gone. I dismiss most of the small stories in this war because they are both meaningless and probably false. The real story is in the strategic picture, and it looks worse every day for Russia.

Russia didn't have to invade Damascus and all of Syria to just control the Golan Heights. But they did smash Syria's air force and air defense and armor, just like Russia with Ukraine.
