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

I don't think the Ukranians will be able to mount any significant offensive with an army of poorly trained conscripts and if they try to do it it might very well end up like the French army mutinies in 1917.
You'll see a civil war as the Banderites and the Foreign Legions are used to suppress that mutiny.
 
Please stop replying to the retard. Report his argumentative posts derailing the thread but just ignore him. He has no clue as to how a modern combustion engine works, in a tank or otherwise.

Anyway...

Ukraine's NATO trained AFU-A Ukrainian soldier shows how to dry a projectile on fire so that it hits the target more precisely... :story:

Ukrainians who refuse to get out of the car at the request of military commissars must be shot in the knee, otherwise it will not be possible to continue mobilization - the commander of the 118th brigade of the territorial defense forces, Anatoly Stuzhenko, shares with his subordinates his work experience.

Yes, lets incapacitate the poor slobs we press gang so that they become ineligible to be conscripted. We, the taxpayer, pay this thug's salary.

*A far right Nazi nationalist battalion, one of many who take their inspiration and beliefs from the Carpathian Sich, notorious Western Ukrainian nationalists who collaborated with the Third Reich. Don't bother with Wikipedia but if you do always look at the Talk page where the Ukrops CIPSO get called out for whitewashing their Nazi Banderite idols
 

New US-made longer-range bomb expected to arrive as soon as Wednesday in Ukraine- Politico

The Pentagon has successfully tested a new long-range precision bomb for Ukraine that is expected to arrive on the battlefield as soon as Wednesday, according to two U.S. officials and two other people with knowledge of the talks.
Ukraine will receive its first batch of Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs, a brand new long-range weapon made by Boeing that even the U.S. doesn’t have in its inventory, according to the four people, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss matters ahead of an announcement.
The new bomb, which can travel about 90 miles, is expected to be “a significant capability for Ukraine,” said one of the U.S. officials.


“It gives them a deeper strike capability they haven’t had, it complements their long-range fire arsenal,” the U.S. official said. “It’s just an extra arrow in the quiver that’s gonna allow them to do more.”

ENDQUOTE

Expect to see more strikes into Russian Territory. There is a small tactical reason for Ukraine to do this. They want Russia to disperse the Air Defense so that less is present in Ukraine.

Mostly though I suspect this is about more terrorism.
 
She can literally do anything she wants, remove anyone she wants or promote anyone she wants.

If they sent her special to Ukraine, its either to cuss out Zelensky over the Zaluzhny thing. Or to personally visit Zaluzhny and demand his resignation because Zelensky was too weak to get it done.
It is absolutely a coincidence she is over there in an emergency visit just days after Z-man tried to fire (or kill) US best friend forever Z-gen. Pure coincidence.

Two Z-persons enter the cage, one Z-person exists. Sounds like Ukraine needs some regime-change to protect democracy. lol
 
War Cat for 31 January 2024: "Mamba"


У артиллеристов под Горловкой в расчете живет кот Мамба. Мышей ловит, урчит, умный, молодец.
Прекрасно ориентируется в происходящем, в частности, четко свинчивает перпендикулярно от пушки при крике "АААРУДИЕЕ!!!"

The artillerymen near Gorlovka have a cat named Mamba living in their formation. He catches mice, purrs, is smart, and does well.
He is perfectly oriented to what is happening; in particular, he clearly swerves perpendicularly away from the cannon when someone is shouting "AAARUDIEE!!!"
 
Firstly, the Geneva Convention only applies to irritants or chemicals which prohibit breathing directly. It doesn't seem to include oxygen deprivation

The arguments about the illegality of the weapons usually fall in these areas:

1) They are illegal under the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons because they are incendiary and could be considered indiscriminate weapons.
2) They are illegal under the law of armed conflict because they cause unnecessary human suffering not associated with a legitimate military purpose,

I'm not arguing for either point. These are the arguments other people make to say that they are illegal.

There is no consensus to speak of internationally as to their legality or illegality.
 
Have they burnt all their dress uniforms for warmth or what? It's Kiev not the damn frontlines.
It's a weird thing Ukrainian "elites" do. Think about Zelensky wearing his hoodies. It supposed to be about appearing more personable. They don't want to look too serious. Although personally I want my General to look as serious as possible.

So much of the things those people do is designed to appeal to western sensibilities. It is kind of gross how much of a show it all is.
 
Uh oh. I think I've seen this movie before.

They should all be wearing Adidas tracksuits.

They accidentally revealed the number of dead Ukrainians. Difference before the start of the war and now is 11 million. 6 million fled Ukraine, and additional 4 million live in lands captured by Russia. That’s still one million missing. That means by their own numbers they are underselling the amount of dead Ukrainians by ~900 thousand
Uh oh. I think I've seen this movie before.
What is the pact about?
 
Thermobarics are excellent and Russia should make more of them.

They do though


However regarding to TOS.

The plan for TOS under Soviets was that Chemical Troops of Soviet Ground Forces, which also consisted of subunits and units that carried out tasks of radiation, chemical and biological reconnaissance and protection,

Would also have units wholesale designed to use Chemical(stopped being the case in the 50's), flamethrower and other incendiary weapons along with smoke discharge/generators.

In the late Soviet period the flamethrower-incendiary and smoke weapons units would be equipped with man portable systems such as such as reusable RPO Lynx which had a thermobaric round "Lynx-A" a incendiary round (“Lynx-Z”) and smoke screen round( “Lynx-D")

This was later replaced by semi-reusable RPO Shmel which also had a flavor of thermobaric, incendiary and smoke rounds.

In the 80's they also got TOS MLRS. And had plans for a RPO Shmel tracked squad carriers either a based successor for ML-TB or BMP-3 chassis. And a heavier armored carrier based on Soviet future tanks project.

That never came to be. Soviets were gone. And Russia ended up modifying BMP-2 into RPO Shmel carrier carrier called BMO-1 and the Russian MIC tried to offer heavier armored RPO- Shmel carrier on the T-72 chassis.(BMO-T)

Soviets however never fully equipped the Chemical Troops of the Ground Forces with TOS before SU was no more

And Russians only in 2018 decided to equipe all the brigades and regiments of the Chemical Troops ( since 1992 called the radiation, chemical and biological defense troops.) with TOS MLRS.

Call was for 70 something additional units of TOS-1A. No idea though if they managed to acquire all that was needed by the time pork processing began.



BTW, thermobaric's aren't only used by chemical troops. Soviet assault engineers also used RPO lynx and Shmel as do the Russians ones. RPG-7 got a thermobaric round (TBG-7V "Tanin") specifically designed for them in 1988.

And the Russian assault engineers later also got RShG-1 and later RShG-2 and it's successor MRO-A. They are thermobaric weapons, but the filling/compound in them is more focused for HE effect and since it's also housed in a steel enclosure which well also give fragmentations.


Other troops in the armed forces technically can requests this portable weapons if needed. But besides RShG's they don't usually have them.

There are also thermobaric rounds for portable and vehicle based ATGM systems.


And both Uragan and Smerch MLRS had thermobaric ammo. Uragan never had a big stock pile and most went out of date. And for Smerch , thermobaric ammo, I don't believe ever got bought. As there was no point in such ammo in a unit that serves that high above a division within the military formation. Unless it was guided and even then..

This could be true however I don't think so because the census data Ukraine has is old and kind of bad. A lot of population estimates work off of the old date or estimations done by Ukraine. They have been messing with it too before the war so as to not reveal how bad of a state the country is in.
You see this numbers and they are really quite bad. But the numbers don't communicate just how devasting things are going to be. Imagine debt slavery to pay for the elderly's pensions and healthcare. This is one thing that Russia has managed to do that cannot be undone. Ukraine will be a failed state after this war.
They do though
Well yes they do use some. But it seems Russia could really use significantly more especially since it seems to be useful for some of the biggest tactical problems Russia has.

The DPR having to craft produce this because they can't get enough of it is bad. It would be way more efficient to make it in a factory.
 
Regarding the gliding bomb thing, it basically just amounts to combat testing a new weapon system. Its not any longer ranged than atacms and so on already provided, has a much smaller warhead, and there are likely far less of them. Its a totally brand new system (insofar as its adapting an existing air dropped bomb to a rocket launcher).
