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

[CarlosDanger]

Tht poor fucker on the left is bleeding around his eye. Both of them seem confused as fuck and old as fuck too. RIP hohol conscripts...feel sorry for you.

The Russian that killed them threw a grenade at them just before rushing up to their position, probably caught some shrapnel and they were probably concussed a bit.

Probably some of the craziest combat footage I've seen.

Intel Slava Z

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Extremely rare and epic footage of the assault on Ukrainian positions. A Russian soldier threw a grenade in front of a trench with Ukrainian soldiers, went around them from behind and tried to force them to surrender. However, the enemy soldiers, either from fear or from shell shock, did...

Some tactical context to this. Basically they both fucked up and the Russian soldier got incredibly lucky that the Ukrainians thought he was on their side.

Russian soldier: You're assaulting through an objective. You do not have to accept a surrender, and obviously shouldn't run up to a position and get into an argument with the enemy.
Ukrainian soldiers: You always need to have 360 security. Both guys should not have been facing the same direction in that situation.

Some people on the internet were coping by claiming that these were aKtUaLY dressed Wagners. A pro-Ukrainian telegram confirmed that the fools getting shot in the video were indeed ukrainians.

Sadly I don't think HIMARS can hit moving targets since its GPS/INS only. Not that there aren't other precision strike packages that can be used, since a loitering drone with a camera and a laser designator can call in just about anything else... like that Israeli-made 120mm mortar everyone in the West has adopted complete with plenty of guidance packages. Only a 7km range, but...

Oh, and there is Copperhead for 155mm shells which do use laser guidance.

It can still hit the roads the transports use. Hell if you have a spotter to tell you how fast they're going you can probably time a barrage to hit a certain point at approximately the time they're passing through it.

Here's your MSM source, NPC

Ukraine Official Fired Over Handling of Russian Sexual Assault Claims

More than 230 members of Ukraine's parliament voted to remove the official from her post.

www.newsweek.com

I'm including a screenshot so your little brain doesn't have to do any work

but wait, I thought he was fucking based and would win the war all by himself???

I'd ask for a source of your thought but we all know there isn't one.

Vatniks continue to to prove they are the dumbest mother fuckers.

When did they do that? What treaty/agreement?

What you fags are parroting is triggered Stalinboos who whinge about a clause in the 1990 Conventional Forces in Europe treaty that set force limits for limits of the number forces both WARPACT and NATO would have, and the number of forces that could be present in specific geographic areas to prevent a dangerous build up of forces that could result in escalations to war. The US (US not NATO) agreed to establish no more permanent (and that's the key) bases in countries that didn't have them already.

Putin suspended Russia from the CFE in 2007, and fully withdrew in 2015, so there is no longer any agreement stopping this.
Putin's attempt to be brave stronk global leader is what allowed this dangerous encrouchment of Russian sovereignty.
The technical academic term for this is a "Serious Self Own"

You really are a boomer zognik. Here's the link @Useful_Mistake posted earlier in the thread, which proves you don't actually read posts here, just come in to post your reddit takes.

I attached the PDF, so whenever you decide to stop watching the MSM you can read it.

You can, and the state can deem you undesirable, strip you of your citizenship, and send you packing to Rwanda.
Far too many vatnik-enablers profit from a naive Westoid liberal mindset with muh freedom of speech and the sort, only to push exclusively Kremlin propaganda.
And yes, presenting "truth" without context is propaganda. Selectively picking pieces of news that promote a narrative that's always friendly to Moscow's goals is propaganda.
And since Moscow is sure that it is at war with the West, it makes the vatniks the fucking enemy that should be brutally repressed and suppressed.

Good thing we don't live in you Eastern European shithole then. Imagine supporting a regime that constantly claims to want to embrace Western values and conduct, then start shitting on those values because they don't align your Eastern European shithole mindset.

Hohols posted it, which is how I came across it early yesterday morning. They first tried to meme it as a "war crime". I was watching the Ukrainian IDF trying to frame a propaganda talking point in read time.

 

[🇷🇺Fuck Ukraine🇷🇺]

A president who has an overwhelming approval rating and trenemdous Western support is a terrible leader?

Overwhelming approval rating because he literally declared himself as the only political party in the country, hard to lose that race.

Western support isn't even a metric of how good a leader is. Gaddafi, Hussein and Bin Laden all had western support at one point or another and look how they turn out.

Vatniks continue to be dumb worthless mongs.

This is an unofficial conversation. No treaty was ever signed with this provision, and the number of times the Soviets blew smoke up the ass of NATO members is handwaved as based and good statesmenship or something. No time line was specified, and the US did not blitz into Poland. And in less than 10 months, the Soviets would sign the CFE - which is an actual binding treaty - and no mention of this niggling point was made other than that the US agreed no new permanent installations except in countries that already had them. Nothing official came out of the talks.

Putin promised there were no Russian troops in Crimea and we saw how that turned out.

And its not like NATO pressed guns to temples. "Hey want to be immune from the possibility Russia will invade and try to reconstitute the USSR?" "OH BOY DO WE"

Well if you could tear yourself away from reddit or Sean Hannity (who would probably agree with me, ironically) and read the posts here, I and others stated it's that fact there wasn't a written agreement that doomed it. Sure, Reagan and Gorbachev were BFF and all that, but the people that came after them didn't give a rat's ass what they agreed to.

And so here we are.

Spoiler: Why NATO on Russia's doorstep matters

 

[Foltest]

Sad situation, flanked with no idea of what's going on. Then the Russian soldier with no other options had to shoot them.

These are the kind of guys forcefully conscripted by Zelensky's goons, now just nameless and dead in a foxhole to defend some shithole they were thrown at.

And yet, they would be alive if not for Putin and his goons invading another country.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

lol jokes aside, I do feel bad for them. They don't really have a clue out there what being under a US regime actual means. They're pretty much screwed either way. If they win, Ukraine becomes a US puppet state and will immediately demand a complete Jewification of the culture. If they lose, Russia will annex its claimed territories and the rest of Ukraine will still fall under US tyranny. People think that's a joke, but the US was attempting to do this in Afghanistan before the war was even won.

This kind of shit can be found just laying around randomly in Afghan dumping sites all over the place even now.

Then who cares? You vatniggers keep bringing it up as some sort of giant own, when the only treaty that did anything to stop American advancement eastward Putin suspended and the tore up on his own initiative.

Regarding your total normal snuff porn:
Those men would still be alive if Ukraine had joined NATO in 2013.
All I'm seeing visual confirmation is that yes, any country the shares a border with Russia should be applying for NATO right now.

Also that every vatnigger has a snuff fetish.

No one's bringing it up as an own you massive sped. Literally reddit with "owns" and "gotchas".

And speaking of reddit, you niggers think these are two distinct group of people; they are not. Ukrainians were Russians up until the Nazis leveraged the Neggervolk, as they so quaintly referred to them, against the USSR, and the Western Ukrainians literally swallowed their master's propaganda like a 2 dollar crack ho giving a blowjob. This is a civil war more than anything else, something the USA has been planning longer than I have been alive, going all the way back to the post-war era.

That's what a civil war looks like, that's what our civil war looked like. This is the war with Russia you wanted; aren't you happy? Calling it a snuff fetish doesn't hide the fact this is exactly what our government paid for and just because it didn't go your way shouldn't reduce you to name calling like a little girl.

You do you dishonest yeastcunt. If it doesn't matter, if its not an agreement, why do vatniggers keep bringing this up? Instead of "Oh yeah, Putin probably shouldn't have exited the agreement that stopped America from making new permanent military bases if he was worried about NATO"

Yes, they are all subhuman slavs. We've been over this. But the Ukrainians are from a different stock, who even got curbed stomped & exploited by a separate group of Mongols than the Rus. They were different enough for Stalin to purposely starve them for like a decade. And for him to try to exile a large percentage of the population for a generation. And they were sick of being under Moscows heel enough they voted overwhelmingly to leave the Soviet Union. The people and region are called out as distinct in lots of treaties. This "Ukraine is a modern invention" is the lamest vatnigger cope since "Tibet has always been a part of china"

And I didn't want a war. I wanted Russia to respect the internationally recognized borders, and support Russia's right to do anything inside those border they chose to do - until they invaded yet ANOTHER country they claim suzerainty over. I supported Putin's right during the olympics to exercise the rights of a sovereign nation to tell faggots and trannies to STFU or GFTO. But my support for owning globohomo ends at Russia's borders. The actual borders, not what Putin believes he should have a right to because he's a bully and We Wuz Tsars 'n Sheeet.

Putin and you vatniggers wanted a war to own globohomo or whatever.
Muh sphere of influence.

lmao ok soycuck, you've been shilling WW3 while sitting comfy behind a screen screaming about vatniggers but get triggered by seeing the actual results of your boomercon warmongering. Stay salty, пидopac.

In more relevant news west of Opytne, south of Klishchiivka, east of Ivanviske, in Artemovsk, Wagner forces, approached the "Mariupol'ske" cemetery and defeated the 109th Detached Territorial Defense Brigade and the 61st Jager Infantry Brigade. As a result of the offensive, Wagner forces entered the small forestry area near it and inflicted losses on the 109th Detached Territorial Defense Brigade, and in particular, the 61st Jaeger Infantry Brigade, which suffered extreme mechanized losses. The Jaeger Brigade fell back to the carpark and intend on protecting the forest area. (shown on map.)

Continue to show just precisely how normal and well adjusted you are.

 

[Ghostse]

Maybe they sent subs because they're supposed to sink.

My tinfoil level of speculation:
After the absolute embarrassment of losing the only capital ship to enemy action since the Falklands War (I think that was the last time) and losing a few other surface combatants, Russia is being cautious with its naval assets. Much like Ukraine's fighter fleet, any losses of military shipping will not be getting replaced this conflict, and even if the war wrapped up tomorrow, might not get replaced this decade - they have what they have.

They are moving the ships from deep russian bases to Svastopol, closer to the action. They will now be within potential range of naval drones and cruise missiles.

The Pyotr is a modern ship with modern defenses and sensors (comparitvely; its russia and there were cutbacks due to budget); the CIWS is a 6-gun, 5 system configuration and would provide good cruise missle defense; Russia is likely wise to the purported fake-out that let them sink Moskva. They have 8 other landing ships of (roughly) the same size, but they are from the 70s and don't have the CIWS coverage or sensor suite - more vulnerable to missiles.

They using Kilos for anti-drone security because of the possibility of any surface ship getting spotted and targeted by Neptunes. The Pyotr would be able to handle itself against anything less than a saturation launch (or lucky shot) which is unlikely.

 

[MG-34]

Yeah but you need skilled crews and command for that. something ukraine does not have...

Try opening your eyes and reading or watching the trove of artilces and footage out there. That fact that the Ukr Military has yet to lose a M270 or HIMARS alone leads me to beleive their leadership is doing the best possible job with the resources on hand.

Russia has activated a naval assault ship (troop ship) and three (upgraded) Kilo class submarines.

Sudden Surge In Russian Navy Ships And Submarines In Black Sea - Naval News

Ukrainian forces will be monitoring a sudden movement of Russian warships and submarines out of their base of Novorossiysk. The naval base, near the Kerch Bridge, is further from Ukrainian controlled coast than the famous base at Sevastopol. Yet the unusual movement may be important.

www.navalnews.com

(I'd quote the article but that's pretty much all there is)

The landing ship Pyotr Morgunov is a new ship, commissioned in 2018. It carry 13 tanks, or 300 marines and 36 APCs/IFVs (aka a mechanized brigade). The Kilo class are diesel/electric anti-shipping subs.

Pyotr Morgunov seems not have anything overly note worthy about it. Its the largest landing ship Russia has in the black sea, but can only carry a mechanized or armor brigade. It is the only landing ship Russia has in the black sea capable of helicopter operations; there are other ships with similar but slightly smaller capacity but they don't have helicopter facilities; but it only has one deck and two helicopters, which isn't massive or game-changing.

When released, the Kilo class was spooky quiet; instead of working on reactors or advanced sensors, the Russians opted for acoustic paneling that made the subs almost invisible to even active SONAR. Range was limited but the whole purpose was to counter US SSBNs and any possibility of naval landings in siberia.
Now the Kilo has lost most of its edge. The paneling is defeated by modern sonars, the lack of range really hampers operations


The Kilo has no missile capacity*, and Ukraine has practically no navy. Submarines are very bad at interdicting shipping except by destruction, and I don't think Putin is ready to take this to "civilian grain ships on the bottom" levels yet, but who the fuck knows. Its clown world.

*It has no missile tubes but has the ability to launch torpedoes that are launchers for anti-ship/anti-sub missles.

So I think one of these/some combination of these

> Gay op. An armor brigade is not small force, but its not going to last long or do much without support. But having this ship out at sea means Ukraine needs to keep an eye on it. Russia has 9 ships in the black sea (4 stations and 5 transferred from other fleets right before the festivities began) with brigade-level capacity, and if all are engaged that is significant force capacity.

> Its just a drill. Russia may be testing naval readiness, or they may be performing anti-drone drills. They may also be testing the feasibility of supplying/reinforcing Crimea via Sea if they lose their land supply and the bridge over the straights gets cut.

> 5th column; Subs could carry special forces and explosives/weapons that could be inserted along the coast.

> Anti-Drone; there was video of supposed naval drones attack on the russian landing ships, and some explosions in Svastopol also from naval drones, so the subs might be going out to watch for other naval drones.

My personal guess is drills/readiness operations for Pyotr (supply crimea or prepare for landings), and the subs providing security so there isn't another engine fire.



Would imagine that the Yook crews are pretty skilled at this point.

We would only he so blessed to see the Russians attempt an amphibious landing with the resources they have remaining. I'm just as doubtful that they are that retarded. Though I would be pleased to see if there are still enough retarded Russian decision makers hyped up on their own prewar hubris that they try.

Also looks like a T-90S was captured intact. Meaning at least one of every Russian MBT type deployed has been captured during this war and a 3rd example of the Indian exports was lost to enemy action.

They still want Odesa (and the rest of the south coast), but there's no way they're getting to it over land with the way things are right now. They might be thinking of establishing a new beachhead and forcing another front south of Odesa, or even south of the Dniester, as that part of the country is relatively isolated. That would let them put their artillery just barely in range of Odesa.
