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

[TrulyMan]

Second army in the world btw.

Considering that Russia is fighting 6 out of the 10 strongest militaries in the world at the same time, it´s probably up there as second only to the Islamic State that managed to fight like 30 out of the 32 strongest militaries in the world at the same time for a duration of 2-3 years.


On a serious note, some countries have already sent more military equipment than their annual military budget is, meaning they are depleting themselves, while for larger nations like the US the costs per month have been larger than the Iraq War. Let´s not kid ourselves, all glory to Ukraine for its somewhat foolhardy but brave attempts to hold on to territory and a dream. But it´s not the "little guy" in anything except in terms of potential manpower. As it sends its people to battle it takes from resources that now far eclipse its own annual military budget.

But if you expect to recapture Eastern Ukraine and have it remain part of the rest of the country, you'd want your rails to be the same to facilitate those things.

"We will recapture our lost territory. But we need more money."

I mean, tbf the russians have lost more than 6,000,000

You are right, its not like the US estimates of Russia running out of weapons (in may, april, may, june, july, august, september, october, november, next week) ever failed to materialize...
Didnt a retired US Army General said Russia would exhaust its ability to fight within ten days of the start of the operation?

Even for Ukraines ministry of Pr....efense it must be a typo, right? I mean someone might actually believe 697400 but 6.9 million?
Either that or you´re pulling screencaps from gray propaganda telegram accounts ran by vatnik trolls in Moscow to discredit Ukraine.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

My question is: Was the UN or NATO in any position to count russian casualties? Did they take territory and collect the dead and identify them? If not how can they claim accurate casualty stats? Oh you have no reason to disbelieve the Western estimates? Did you believe them when they said Kiev would fall in three days or Russia would run out of ammo in March? There is plenty of takes officials have had that have been unreliable on both sides, you just accept the ones you want to be true. At least be honest about it.

I agree, I'd never take something like this at face value without other evidence.

However, all of the evidence confirms Russia's military capabilities are severely degraded, something that would only happen if they suffered an enormous number of casualties and losses of equipment. The failed attack on Kyiv alone resulted in thousands of dead and wounded, to say nothing of all the equipment lost.

The fact that they aren't doing anything meaningful in terms of using airpower is a clear sign they've suffered huge losses among pilots as well.

 

[🇷🇺Fuck Ukraine🇷🇺]

Almost a year into a campaign that was meant to take two weeks, repeatedly beaten back in days from territories that took weeks or months to conquer, forced to retreat from Kherson immediately after declaring it "Russian territory", and stalemated at Bakhmut for several months. All this by a military that everyone assumed would fold like a wet paper bag at the first sign of resistance.

Winning!

Ok bruh... When was the last Ukraine victory? I mean one where they actually had to fight instead of battling thin air in an abandon city?

Except the Taliban never beat the US militarily; they waited until the US had entirely withdrew from Afghanistan to overthrow a puppet government which had almost no popular support among the Afghan people. The US failure in Afghanistan was a failure of statecraft; not of military strength.

Putin has always been more skilled as a tactician than as a strategist, and the war in Ukraine is no less evidence of this. In the short run, Putin is quite capable of outmaneuvering his adversaries to achieve a short-term advantage, but in the long run, his leadership decisions have almost invariably put Russia on a much weaker footing. This war will play out no differently.

Errr.....no, a full scale rout is a military victory, US lost. If you're not sure just ask teriyaki he's the expert on losing.

How long has Putin been the leader of Russia, like 20+ years, but he's a short term thinker?? You're wrong, and expose you don't actually know what you're talking about, the only short term thinkers are the fuckwits running the US.

>Has not taken the capital
>Has not won the air war
>Needs to mobilize another wave of men
>Economy belongs to China now
>Having to resort to terror bombing civilian infrastructure because you can't push the enemy out
>Europe not frozen from muh lack of gas, US making bank exploiting europoors
>Russians constantly threatening war with NATO to cope for arms
>Lost Kherson
>Retreating from other areas as we speak

Maybe they aren't losing, but they aren't winning. Soon Russia will be an American puppet state so that we can get cheap oil.

>They never intended to take the capital.
>What air war??
>No other mobilisations have even been announced wtf are you on about?
>Economy has been isolated from swift which is why the sanction aren't working.
>UKR perfectly fine using human shields.
>15% of UK gas has already gone, Germany and Poland placing orders with Russian oil producers because the fuckwit price cap just gives them an excuse to avoid their own ban.
>US dying empire acting like a vampire on its vassal states won't last much longer.
>NATO to shit scared to actually fight it's still trying to proxy war through UKR and losing.
>Gave up Kherson.
>What other areas are they retreating from? Let's see your list because I know you don't have one and you just pulled this out of your ass like the sperg you are.

They've also incurred casualties in excess of the decade-plus long Vietnam War in less than a year and spent at least $100 billion of their foreign exchange reserves. And the casualties are even worse when you consider most of these losses were regular military, including some very specialized personnel like pilots.

A complete, absolute disaster for Russia. The level of delusion and incompetence in that country's leadership is incredible, so much so that Joe Biden looks like Churchill in comparison.

Here's the fantasy fiction again. Information you just pulled out of thin air and spew out as fact. Are you actually retarded or is it just the side effects of the failed abortion?

Considering that Russia is fighting 6 out of the 10 strongest militaries in the world at the same time

And you think the 22nd most powerful military in the world has a chance?

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

“The information clearly shows Russia is losing and horrible!”
Can you cite the information?
”Look at this wikipedia link!”
Lol okay buddy.

 

[Battlefield2142EU]

Instead of arguing about who winning or losing. Who is right or wrong? Let's argue about what truly matters. How soon do we start seeing midgets fighting in the Ukraine war? Who will start using midgets in large numbers first, Russia or Ukraine? It wasn't long until Isis started recruiting midgets and Down syndrome as fighters.

Intensifying Russian pressure on Belarus is degrading Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s maneuver room to avoid making concessions to the Kremlin. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s long game to reestablish suzerainty over Belarus is making pro

Here you go, read all of these in recent months and get back to me. Please let me know what credible sources you have disputing these assessments too.

And no, there wasn't a failed abortion...it's Russia that loves murdering children in the womb more than any other country, as you well know.

 

[prolapsed_cranium]

-Belarus is likely to get involved, Putin and his delegation met with Lukashenko recently in Minsk.

Anything in Belarus is going to be a pinning force.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

I thought Belarus needed its military just to keep it from revolution.

Either by Putin or by his own generals, Lukashenko is gonna be cucked either way.

Ukraine's "Ministry of Pretence". Good one.

To the point though, different propaganda is aimed at different people and demographics. It always looks absurd when propaganda made for one target audience gets read by another.

The fact that they aren't doing anything meaningful in terms of using airpower is a clear sign they've suffered huge losses among pilots as well.

I don't know what Russia's losses are, but an equally plausible explanation or more, is that they don't want to lose valuable pilot and plane for little gain because Ukraine still has air defences. It doesn't indicate attrition amongst pilots.

Leaflets began appearing in Kherson with a disturbing but familar photo most Poles will recognize..

An image from the Volhynia massacre by American neocon's favorite Ukraonazis (I added a translated image). Some things never change.

Apologies if late, but the image is not from the Wołyń massacre. Those kids were hanged in 1924 by their gypsy mother and the image was mistook as one from Wołyń.

Not defending people bragging about hanging their enemies' kids, just rendering Autistic Caesar (hi null) his due.

Source: I've checked every timestamped Wołyń massacre picture from Polish sources I could lay my hands on.

Ukrainian security forces led by Western "advisers" are carrying out demonstrative punitive actions against the residents of Kherson, who failed to leave for the left bank of the Dnieper. 74 people were taken in an unknown direction. It is known about the execution of 39 pro-Russian activists. Their bodies have not been handed over to their relatives and are planned to be used in staged scenes of "Russian war crimes".

There are more and more checks among the civilian population in Ukrainian cities.

“If earlier in Kharkiv it was possible to run into two or three checks a day, now the situation is getting tougher,” the channel’s interlocutor said. According to him, police checkpoints appear randomly in different places. The security forces check people not only for passports, but also for knowledge of their own biography and the peculiarities of Kharkov. The situation is similar in Nikolaev. There have also become more frequent checks and calls for interrogation of ordinary civilians.“All this looks like the transformation of “pro-Russian cities” into a dystopia, where you need not to stand out, speak a language alien to you and be ready to be interrogated for any suspicious trifle,” a resident of Nikolaev notes. He added that even some of the pro-Ukrainian citizens are beginning to hate the state.

The Nazi larp of the Neggervolk must go on despite the cognative dissonance of Western values.

Obvious Russian psyops to sow discord among the free and liberated people of Kherson!

Putin is the equivalent to Tonkasaw at this point. He just talks and talks, apparently he is deploying nuke in weeks.

You highly likely to be correct but that's irrelevant to be honest; its meant to intimidate and scare people who don't support them into cooperating.

If Kiev truly had won the hearts and minds of the people they wouldn't believe it necessary to post such crude propaganda. It's probably like this thread, a few jackasses shouting the praises of Z-Man and his regime, and everyone else wanting them to get lost (and worse).

 

[Ancient Pioneer]

You mean the Iraq where the Ba'athists were successfully overthrown, and which is still, to this day, governed under the constitution that was put in place during the US occupation?

It had 2 civil wars since the US pullout and people like Sadr can just summon a militia in the capital with heavy weaponry and siege the government buildings for hours with just a few minutes notice. The Iraqi government just survives off of inertia, and mainly because of continuous outside intervention, had there not been Iranian and US lead movements to support the state when the Sunnis got pissed off and joined ISIS the state probably already would just be a Shiite Iranian aligned rump state consisting of just areas around Basra. Hell, ISIS came within 50km of Baghdad before the near US endless airstrikes from Kuwait and the Gulf finally scattered their advance.

I think you mean "retreated from built up areas to hide in a bunch of caves", which just so happens to make up the majority of the Afghan landscape. If you want to frame that as the Taliban controlling a third of the country's landmass then so be it, but it would be incredibly reaching on your part.

If you're not prepared to handle the landscape of the country you invade then do not do it. Do we have to listen to another 40 years of "GOOK COWARDS HIDIN' IN THE JUNGLE" but tailored specifically for the Hajjis in Afghanistan? The US military got defeated in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam because it couldn't form a coherent strategy for dealing with the insurgents and presenting it in a form acceptable to the political leaders, instead we got stupid acronyms like C.O.I.N. and cooked books declaring that everything was sunshine and rainbows. The entire war effort was such a fucking joke that Mullah Omar lived in country near Zabul which is 100km or so Northeast of Kandahar on the main road leading up to Kabul.
