The math does fit in.

Remember how the West mocked Russia for blaming their mobile phones for Ukraine's success on large ammo caches full of soldiers? Well, Pentagon now confirms that they actually believed that theory:

Pentagon is planning to circulate an in=house study of the war:

Pentagon is very upset that their expensive toys can be easily defeated:

US army, beacon of the so-called NATO standard they are imposing on Ukraine, admit they know fuck all.

Oh, you absolutely can.

Azov and other blocking battalions absolutely can.
You just have to pick some of the people that are "unmotivated", tie their hands together with cable-tie and execute them infront of the rest of the people in the squad. And suddenly the rest of the squad will stop refusing to fight.
There is about a million of telegram videos you can watch about this. Because putting it on telegram will also motivate the soldiers in the squads you have not yet been able to send "motivators" to.

Three people don't want to fight. Execute one of them in front of the others and suddenly you have two people that do want to fight. Motivational speaker 101
Cancel elections so they can't vote against fighting, and now you have an Our Democracy.

The US is fucked if it ever comes to an armed conflict with Russia.

As the article points out: Their reliance on high tech gizmos isn’t just negated, it’s a disadvantage.

(I’ve heard from foreigners that when they’re anyway near the frontline on the Russian side, their GPS and cell phone signals just die because of the powerful jamming devices. Good luck using that fancy precision GPS munitions if the signal is jammed within a dozen miles of the target.)

Furthermore, while they’re trying to catch up, it’s not that easy. Militaries are very conservative institutions, and anyone rich in ideas and desire for change either is taught to bend within the Pentagon, or they’re quietly diverted into a career killing path.

While the US army is trying to embrace a whole paradigm change, the Russian army already has troops and officers with years of experience in modern warfare.

They have already introduced and are using drone units on the battalion and company level, while the Pentagon is trying to come up with a drone warfare doctrine.

(And I’ll bet you 100$ that instead of actually doing the work, the Pentagon will go along with whatever MIC snake oil salesman who comes up with an Uber fancy, overpriced “AI drone” with all the bells and whistles at the low, low price of 150.000$ a piece. Only the best for the US army, after all!)

Someone posted an article in A&N recently from a blog that's a thinly veiled Pentagon mouthpiece claiming drones have not changed anything. Nothing will change unless the US is faced with a real threat.

We are in a pre-Pearl Harbor WW2 timeline, and guaranteed an unhinged neocon is out the trying to provoke another 9-11. Not for nothing are we having an unrestrained illegal stampede across the southern border of the US.
 
Happy Defenders of the Fatherland Day Russians, and especially to the people of Donbass!

Today, on one of the most important public holidays in Russia, the whole country pays tribute and gratitude to those who served and are serving in the army and navy, who fought for their native land at all stages of the heroic history of our Fatherland, who did not spare their lives for the sake of our future countries.

This holiday has firmly entered our lives, it personifies courage, fortitude and devoted service to Russia, and now, when our soldiers are on the front line, fighting neo-Nazism, standing up to defend the interests of our Motherland and all our people, Defender of the Fatherland Day has acquired for us special meaning.

Our history is rich in heroic examples of military valor, fearlessness and strength of the Russian spirit. Love for the Motherland, honor and military duty are passed down in our country from generation to generation, which is why Russia cannot be defeated, and all attempts to do so end in the complete defeat of the enemy.
A low bow to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War, whose feat will forever remain in the memory of our people!

Huge gratitude and appreciation to our defenders, who performed and continue to perform their military duty with honor, courage and bravery!

I sincerely congratulate everyone who stood and stands in defense of the Fatherland, who is faithful to the oath and the Motherland! I wish you and your loved ones good health, prosperity, confidence in the future, peace and Victory! Link

Fireworks popped off first in Vladivostok:


A couple of soldiers songs: Trista, Trize, Tri

I would have thought that announcing that you are going to surprise your enemy is somewhat counterproductive to the act of actually surprising your enemy. Then again, I am not nominally a head of state, so what do I know?
To be completely fair, with the rampant corruption and nonexistent morale its not like they could keep it a secret if they tried.
 
The next two weeks are the most critical time. The shock of having a decent leader being replaced with one known to cause senseless deaths will be a heavy blow to the troops and make them lose faith in their orders. Plus the dramatic overhaul of the leadership means there will be interruptions in logistics and neglected gaps in the defenses, ones that will take too much time to resolve as the new leadership gets a clearer picture of what's happening and what works and doesn't work. Right now is the perfect time for Russia to ramp up the pressure, doing massive bombing runs and pushing through poorly defended territory. I would expect 75-90% of Ukrainian defenses, troops, and weaponry to be lost within the next two weeks. That dramatic loss could lead to the people losing faith in the government and beginning a serious insurrection. I'm pretty certain the war will be over in two weeks, though that may not be publicly announced for another week or two while the ramifications of what happened sinks in.
It seems I overestimated how much the situation would deteriorate over the course of two weeks. I really thought things would have fallen apart more by now.

I wouldn’t say you were necessarily wrong.

The Russian offensive is ongoing, Ukrainians are slowly falling apart and even the Pravda that is The Hill admits that Ukraine can’t win. With or without American help.

This isn’t a war of blitzkrieg attacks and 80km panzer advances.

Remember it isn't just the Ukraine and Ukrainians. I mean, I posted a video of mercs, one of which is clearly a burger. It's seriously deteriorating, US/NATO are just prolonging the inevitable.

Those are some pretty rad tunes, fellow Russia enjoyer!

Got some links where I can download them?

Air, artillery and drones are a real problem for fast advances.

The Russian army has a really impressive cover of S400, radars anti EW devices and their smaller tactical SAM vehicles.
They basically own the airspace over the front.

But as soon as you advance too far ahead of that cover, that’s when you become vulnerable to ATACMs and drones.

Not over extending your lines is critical.

We saw what happened in 2022 when they did with the retreat from Kherson etc.

(Even if the Ukrop army isn’t what it was a year or a year and a half ago.)
