Ukrainian Defensive War against the Russian Invasion - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

Perun noted it in one of his more recent videos. Noting that while Special Forces can be good well trained infantryman. Using them as such is an absolute waste as they aren't sufficiently better than regular infantry to justify the difficult to replace loss of their specialist abilities.

Russia was pulling regular sailors from Sevastopol and putting them on the frontlines in Bakmuht. Not Naval Infantry. Actual full time sailors needed to make his ships go.
I take it there aren't going to be any amphibious attacks so the loss of those men isn't too significant in terms of current military capability for this war? It's just a waste of talent and future opportunities.
Do people think this is because they are running short on men(without mobilization) or is Russia's culture of saving face also to blame?

Its worse then that really. Ukraine had access to the old soviet weapons stores, and the first thing they did when this war started was to lay a naval mine field around Odessa. They assumed (correctly) that Odessa was the ultimate target of the Russian south offensive. Its why Ukraine pulled out all the stops to defend Snake Island and went to autstic lengths at attacks on the Black Sea Fleet. Part of this was Ukraine has mined the Port of Odessa. And is refusing to say where the mines are, but we know they exist because a few have been blown to shore and have killed people in the area.

If Russia was to capture Odessa, they would need the Naval Engineers to clear the minefield. That is probably why those guys found themselves at the front around Kherson. What is inconceivable is Russia didn't pull them off the front when it became clear there was no way they would get to Odessa. Especially after they lost Snake Island and the Moscova was sunk.
 
No more Kiwi brother wars. Armchair Copelord is back, with a brand new take: NATO ran out of ammo back in November. :story:

Also, the Kherson offensive was meant for Sevastopol. Also, the Russian mobiks haven't been deployed yet, so we can surely expect a surge in manpower soon!

What's funny is even if it was intended for that purpose, it achieved way more strategically than Russia's own offensive over the winter, which accomplished absolutely nothing.

Also "Three large operational events of absolutely uncertain timing to take Odesa!"

Out of curiosity do our counterparts in the other thread take him seriously? Or is he such a retard even the biggest Z-bros discard him.

I'm not sure about the other thread, but in the wider terms of Z-bros, he's pretty popular. Although I haven't seen him mentioned by any Russian telegram that I can remember so he's limited to Western Z-bros.

I've stated that Western Pro-Russian OSINT are x10 more delusional actual Russian OSINT, and Armchair Warlord is the absolute embodiment of that trend I noticed.
 
Where the fuck is this pattern supposed to blend in? It looks like Mohammed Ali tried to paint a Leman Russ from Warhammer 40k. I'm actually interested to know if it's some historical pattern adapted for a parade.
Probably a historic pattern, but I dunno from where/when; what I want to know is it was an actual historic tank.

Edit: actually it looks like some of their tank biathlon camo patterns, or those from Kazakhstan; or even India, which has equally hideous colors.

There's a flat armor plate w/ window behind the commander, which is unusual, and looks like a field-expedient modification.... So maybe a Chechnya camo?

And speaking of...

The Tank Encyclopedia article is pretty decent, but my autism has it's limits.

Russians just uploaded a new video of them cutting off the head of a Ukrainian soldier with a knife while he is alive. It's one of the most horrible videos I have seen.
Sorry you had to be exposed to that. Was there anything specific you can relate to authenticate it? E.g., uniform items, equipment, etc.?

I wonder why there is a surge of nigger behavior coming from the ziggers. Are the Dagestanis finally being press ganged as fodder or are they down to their most violent and unhinged prison population to recruit from?
