Russian Special Military Operation in the Ukraine - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

[kim foxx]

It is ridiculous though, the US military spends an absolute fuckload on R&D weaponry so you'd assume their state of the art arms would actually be state of the art, instead they're proving to be pretty expensive paperweights unless they have full air superiority which would never happen in a contested conventional war. When was the last time we heard a peep about HIMARS? If they get within air support range they're toast.

extensive use of microelectronics in the military-industrial complex was not to make weapons better, but to inflate the cost of weapons exponentially.

the new ford class carriers are filled to the brim with sensitive and fragile electronics which probably won't survive a close explosion or direct hit. the navy recognized this and resisted holding "shock trials" (setting off a bomb nearby to see how the ship holds up) until 2021 and even today qualifies it as a "complete" shock trial without detailing how much damage was done to the ship's systems etc.

So how much of this war was literally the result of Trump looking into the American-Ukraine Corruption Cycle?

Why do they always have to end their relatively coherent thoughts with some absolute nuttery?

Kidnapping and murdering civilians in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS. Hell yeah man deporting every native Crimean to the concentration camps beyond the Urals, to the taigas of Siberia, to make artillery shells. Or, I suppose, evacuating people from a warzone is now considered "kidnapping". All those stories kvetching about CHILDREN BEING KIDNAPPED when they're literally just kids that have been taken out of a combat zone to prevent them from starving to death, freezing to death or being hit with artillery fire. How dare they???

I gave both threads 2 weeks of reading and over time I slowly dropped out of the Ukraine one in favor of this thread. There's only so much autism one can handle before going "what the fuck are these posters on?" That aside, most of what news they posted there, I can just turn on TBS of NHK and listen to same shit so they're functionally useless as a way to gather information as well.

>There are many more Russians here than we have ammunition to destroy them.
Then shoot better lmao. The bullets aren't going to magically nailing every single Russian troop on their own, are they?

Given Joe's remarks and the plethora of Congressional family members and current/former WH employees who had no show jobs paying multimillion dollar salaries I'd say a lot.

And that's just what we know about.

As we know, the Ukrainians aren't getting enough money from the West, but I suspect this project might be because certain Ukrainians aren't getting enough money from the West

How many magnitudes more competent would the Ukrainians be if they stopped with all these new-level grifts (which are cringe as fuck I should also mention) and actually focused on killing the enemy would you reckon?

Also, just imagine being some poor innocent Russian sod who get's killed by a drone with some gay westerner's dreams plastered on the side...

 

[GoysGoneWild]

I saw speculation with the "pay us to write a message on these shells" shit that they were simply wiping off the old message and writing a new one on. Rinse and repeat, never actually firing the shell lmao.

Ukraine Withdraws From Bakhmut | Bakhmut Front Update 03/03/23​

As of 2 hours ago, CNN claims that Ukraine was still fighting in Bakhmut. No official confirmation of withdrawal.

if you're gonna grift, you might as well grift to the hilt

So, which city is the next Stalingrad? Kramatorsk? Will it also not fall?

 

[kim foxx]

Slovyansk and Kramatorsk are not as defendible as Artemovsk iirc

 

[Yak-130 Mitten]

No, you see, you don't understand situation. Artemovsk was given by ukrainains up after they bled the russians enough for it. It wasn't important, after all. Russians just keep falling for one ruse after another. Obviously.

Bakhmut was visited by the commander of the Eastern Group of Forces Alexander Syrsky for the second time in a week For what? Is it really possible to personally give the order to retreat?! I want to believe it, but I highly doubt it.​

Look at the photo, he doesn't even look into his eyes when he shakes his hand. Because he knows that he is guilty before our fighters...I strongly doubt that he is in Bakhmut at all!​

These are men either in or about to go to Bakhmut. They know. This Syrsky is a criminal but of course he will be applauded and cheered on by the West.

Journalists from the Associated Press showed a video of the AFU field hospital in Artemovsk

Judging by the footage, the hospital is overflowing with wounded fighters. The operating tables are not empty: some are removed, others are put under the scalpel. https://t.me/NovichokRossiya/26099​

And for good news:

The elder sister of Fedor, who led two girls out of the shelling of Ukrainian saboteurs in the Bryansk region, told the details of the rescue:​

​

“It turns out [they shot] in the back. He took the girls and ran. He did a good job: he held on, did not cry, did not lose his head. Not every adult will do this.​

​

Then they ran out into the road. First they stopped the tractor, they did not take them, and then Fedya already stopped the car. There were two uncles, he said: "They took me with the girls."​

​

The girl emphasized that Fedor was very calm even after being injured: “I have a tantrum" Fedor says: “ Calm down, my dear, everything is fine."​

​

Fedor will soon be transferred from intensive care to a regular ward. The authorities will present the child to the medal "For Courage" and local residents put up leaflets in honor of him.​

Kupyansk is probably the next city the Russians push hard on.

You are probably right

My physics professor would love this, especially since we had a choice of using real guns in our lab. And he was no dainty liberal as well, which is why he was one of my favorites.

 

[kim foxx]

This has been a tremendous own goal on the part of NATO and the US. Part of the calculus on why the PRC won't move on Taiwan was the fact that their ocean oil imports would be blockaded immediately by the USN. They assumed the Russians would not step in with an overland route so as not to jeopardize their European energy market.

Now that they've torched things with Russia entirely there is nothing stopping them from stepping in and mitigating a USN blockade. This has only made Operation Taiwan more inevitable, not less.

Yeah, the way the rounds can be seen flying through the air is a great illustration of ballistics in action.

Eh, the PLAN doesn't have anywhere close to the game it needs to try and contest the USN.
