Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread - Episode III - Revenge of the Ruski (now unlocked with new skins and gameplay modes!!!)

[Ponderous Pillock]

It's actually amazing how Russia went from having a decisive advantage over Ukraine to the point where it felt inevitable that they'd slowly gain ground over time, to now where they're getting absolutely raped by logistics issues that are leaving troops completely vulnerable by being cut off from the supply lines.

Russian method of war has always been "throw people at the problem until it goes away or Winter turns up". Which is fine when your military is 10 million+

The Push vs Pull method continues to bite the Russians very hard and it will now take far, far too long to fix it.

Day 7 says you will be delivered x rounds of ammo and no food? Guess what, Day 7 delivery is x rounds of ammo and no food. Doesn't matter you've not had any food in 3 days, or the ammo which does turn up is rusty as shit, the logistics guys did their thing.

Ukraine, meanwhile, has been operating the "pull" method of logistice since 2015/2016 and this now permeates deep. Shit you use up on the day gets logged and reported back and the logistics boys do their job and load up the trucks necessary. Never mind a ton of it is shiny, "new" Western Kit, or that some of it went missing before it reached the depot, the entire western military industrial complex is happily clearing warehouses, old stocks and prepping new stock. You're still getting a far more efficient unit at the end of the day.

Furthermore with regards to the winter aspect, that shit only works in russia's favor when its enemy has stretched out its supply lines deep into russian territory and is then forced to either defend their positions till supplies catch up or retreat.

It is *not* a "russian units gain +5 attack in cold terrain" effect for fuck sake.

With regards to this current conflict, all winter means is that russian conscripts can add frostbite and hypothermia to the daily bingo card while ukraine gets spammed by whatever cold weather kits and supplies NATO and friends have lying around, along with a fuckload more mechanical issues, which unlike ukraine they wont be able to fix or have fixed for them due to how bleak their replacement/repair situation is

Aaaaaaaaaany time now and the super-duper cauldron trap russia simps on this thread and beyond have been babbling about since they got the new cope download will be sprung and ukraine will suffer another fifty gorillion casualties.....aaaany time now.....

I got news for you buddy, the Слава Україні! crowd have corruption issues as well. Petro Poroshenko still exists. If you think Ukraine can shed it's corruption issues without completely anhilating the current Ukrainian state Pol Pot style, you are very wrong.

There's no need for such extremism, Ukraine will go down the path of Romania and Bulgaria, both corrupt countries that are on a slow path towards improving on it. It'll last decades. No biggie.

This seems to belong on this thread:
https://www.zerohedge.com/military/...ntal-parachuted-missile-arctic-warning-russia https://archive.ph/6YbZc

excerpts:
"We are intentionally trying to be provocative without being escalatory."

"Other weapons like swarming drones can be deployed utilizing this method as well, the US military says. The unusual delivery is in part designed to disguise a long-range missile launch as but a typical battlefield airdrop from a cargo plane, thus catching the enemy off-guard until the missile is already well on its way to target."

It's legitimately ogre. Russia came to Kherson, but it did not stay forever.

Ya know we really should start collecting the greatest hits of certain specimens from the first month or so of the war back on the first happenings thread to create some whimsical montage of sorts

Im just glad the first shitpost I made about the war aged so deliciously well for the occasion....

Nice try hohols trying to subvert me but the regrouping was a complete success with no loss of life or equipment. In fact it was Ukraine that suffered most! Nice try NATO trannies better luck next time!

Welp, this has been an embarrassment for the russians, they transfered the civilian population over so that they could prepare for urban combat but ended up giving the city away without a fight

They didn't even really transfer the civilian population in full, it seems they really just got collaborators and pro-Russian population out.

Four Ways to Understand the $54 Billion in U.S. Spending on Ukraine

It’s the most annual assistance given by the U.S. to a country in the last decade.

54 billion right there. And that's just the amount we peasants are allowed to know about.

You are kind of a bitch aren’t ya?

It wasn't a question for you, more a rhetorical one.

I've always loved Russia and its history...it's a unique fact that both Russia and the USA have a true frontier experience in their history, This nation is not only a land of god-tier classical composers but also put the first satellite and first man in space. Seeing young Russian men die for some decrepit Soviet oligarchs' dreams is saddening.

Yeah.

Watching Ukrainians and their NATO handlers die is pretty funny though. Soon they will be fighting in our basements.

Oh I forgot Russians dying is also funny. All that land is America now. God bless us.

Those damn Khazar Nazis are at it again! I bet the first thing these conniving Jews do when they liberate ruthlessly conquer a True and Honest Russian town is to construct a biolab in the shape of a rainbow-colored dildo.

Latest cope from state TV. The perfidous boyars have failed the tsar again. They all lied to Putin about everything! It's all their fault!
