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

Russian journo Marat Khairullin looked into this a bit more a couple of months back. He made the point that it's not just raw numbers that matter, but how often you can fly them. To put it very crudely, US planes are designed to give F1 levels of performance, producing the biggest numbers on paper. But to do that they need exceptional amounts of coddling and servicing. Russian planes on the other hand are meant to just work. They aim for the best performance that will work most of the time. Any plane in the air is more useful than one in the hangar.

Judging by how the F-35 flies in Israel, this aircraft is capable of taking off only once every few days, and this is despite the fact that the Israeli aviation is considered the most combat-ready in the Western bloc, and their F-35s are the most “finished” and “pumped up”.

The main combat load in the US Army is carried by the F-16 aircraft (the old man 40+). The hegemon has about 850 of them. It is officially known that only 40 percent of the F-16 fleet is in full combat condition. At the same time, the F-16 is an aircraft with a very limited range (half of our Sukhois), so it can not stay in the air for long.

At the same time, due to its age and technical complexity, the aircraft can only make one combat sortie per day at most. The norm is considered to be one sortie every three days. This is approximately what we are seeing in Israel now.

Once again, compare it with our aircraft fleet. The direct analogue of the multifunctional F-16 is the Su-30 and Su-34. There are about 300 of them - 150 Su-30s and about 130 "ducklings" (so-called due to its appearance).

Duckling takes flight
Not only is the entire fleet, with the exception of those located directly at the repair plant, on duty - that is, nominally 100 percent combat readiness (Americans, ho-ho-ho to your 40 percent), but five combat sorties per day are considered normal for these aircraft. On average, the "ducklings" in the SMO show four combat sorties per day.
Let's count: the hell with it, let's say we have 200 "multifunctionals" working directly in the troops - multiply by five. A thousand combat sorties a day!

It is now believed that our bombers in the SMO make an average of 200 sorties per day along the entire front. Sometimes even three hundred. That is, it turns out that we work at a quarter of our real combat capabilities, but if you look at the dynamics, then everything is on the rise.

We should reach our peak in about six months. Just imagine - a thousand bombing sorties a day. And that's without taking into account all the other wings, and they can also make their contribution. For example, the owners of Ukrainian slaves are in a panic from how our Su-57 works. This plane can stay in the air for a very long time, and due to the fact that it sees everything far away and is armed with very long-range weapons, it turns out that it is literally sitting in ambush. Not everyone knows that, at almost every moment of time, one or two Su-57s are in the air. They guard primarily the Black Sea and, apparently, the most dangerous sections of the border and the front. Hence, the unprecedented efficiency - almost any launch of Ukrainian missiles from an aircraft ends with the carrier being destroyed. The Americans have nothing even close to this. Compare the F-22, which needs to be prepared for takeoff in five days (in the best case, if there is the appropriate infrastructure at the base) and our super-new aircraft.

Meanwhile the bunker analogy grows stronger and stronger.

Oh we are 100% going to war with Iran within the next 2 years. It's kinda funny seeing all the Trump stans insist that this term will be smooth sailing.

China is still much too strong for us to antagonize openly and the GOP wants to cease the Russia bullshit, so more Middle East shenanigans are the way to go.

But with Russia being (more) officially aligned with Iran now, wouldn't a war with Iran put us at war with Russia? In fact moreso than we already are in Ukraine..

The expired jew has threatened to build a nuclear bomb and use it on Russia (article article/archive archive) but if we give him more money he might not.

Russia’s anti-semitic nuclear doctrine allows for the use of nukes in the event of a first strike on its territory or infrastructure, or if the existence of the Russian state is threatened by either nuclear or conventional weapons.

I'd be worried but the Hoholstanis and their paypigs are more likely to irradiate themselves than carry out a nuclear strike of any kind on Russia.

Ernest Hemingway once wrote the saddest, shortest story on a bet –

A gay language inspector was kidnapped in Odessa and taken to the military commissariat

The inscription on the T-shirt - “ Speak to me in Ukrainian, I live in Ukraine and I don't understand Russian”.

I was taken away, my anxiety-depressive disorder is not acknowledged, they do not listen to me at all.

There was Russian music playing for an hour in the cabin of the bus that was taking me, it's crazy......

Ah and jornos are spreading the scare of nuclear war based on Zelensky's “Admission to NATO or nukes” statement last month

“You need to understand we face an existential challenge. If the Russians take Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians will be killed under occupation,” said Valentyn Badrak, director of the centre that produced the paper. “There are millions of us who would rather face death than go to the gulags.” Badrak is from Irpin, where occupying Russians tortured and murdered civilians, and he was hunted by troops with orders to kill him.

Yizhak believes the threshold for developing a nuclear rearmament programme would be Putin’s troops reaching the city of Pavlohrad, a military-industrial hub about 60 miles from the present front line. Any further, and there would be a risk some of Ukraine’s largest cities, such as Dnipro and Kharkiv, could fall before the weapon was developed.

“I was surprised by the reverence the United States has for Russia’s nuclear threat. It may have cost us the war,” Yizhak said. “They treat nuclear weapons as some kind of God. So perhaps it is also time for us to pray to this God.”

Oops I'm late, but the quote with millions of Ukrainians ready to be strapped to a nuke instead of going to the gulag and saying they will literally play god still was worth it

Is this the guy who leaked the fact that Ukraine had actually lost more troops than Russia?

He revealed absolutely fuck all apart from the fact that behind the scenes the spooks are distributing the same shit intelligence that appears every day in the mainstream press. Actually that was the scariest revelation for me, the fact that these people genuinely believe their own propaganda. Unless there's some super secret inner circle that is a bit more realistic about what's going on.
Although today we're starting to see a bit more realism. The FT has "sources" that suggest the front line may just be a little further west by Christmas, and that Ukraine is having recruitment problems. No shit, Sherlock. I wonder who the poor souls who have to function without a cook are.

Ukrainians unsurprisingly are turning to Telegram for news. Wasn't Twitter meant to be the beacon of freedom?

Ukraine has lost 222,395 personnel wounded and killed in all directions since the start of the invasion of the Kursk region - from August 6 to November 11, 2024 (97 days), according to the Russian Defense Ministry

Donetsk direction - 67,370 people - 30% of the total losses;

Pokrovskoe direction - 49,715 people - 22% of the total losses

Kupyansk direction - 46,270 people - 21% of the total losses

Kursk direction - 30,640 people - 14% of the total losses.

Average daily losses are:

Donetsk direction – 695 people/day;

Pokrovskoe direction - 513 people/day;

Kupyansk direction - 477 people/day;

Kursk direction - 316 people/day;

South Donetsk direction - 119 people/day;

Kharkov direction - 106 people/day;

Kherson direction - 67 people/day.

In all directions - 2293 people/day.

It should be taken into account that the Ministry of Defense reflects in its reports the approximate losses of the enemy only on the line of combat contact, not counting the servicemen killed as a result of the use of Russian long-range precision weapons and aviation deep in Ukrainian territory.

Very grim. I believe this is close as I'm seeing several images/videos of dead hohols, as well as a lot of surrenders daily. It's unsustainable imo.
