They are next door neighbors unlike Afghanistan america had no home border issues. Russia getting out and expecting nato to have its bases in ukraine hell no.
Chief unscom is a good designation to have know how of war.
Chief UNSCOM weapons inspector to Iraq, 1991
Most of the russian equipment is captured where crew left it. So i dont see many losses. Destroyed some but mostly abandoned.
I am not in ukraine but trying to get hold of what is right and what is wrong. So far I am only seeing that russian news is...
As sex offender he was caught talking to minor, exposed and convicted he will rot in hell for that.
But would this make his analysis on military studies wrong as he was general too ?
He is actually appreciating the valor of ukrainians who are fighting a big military.
True. This is what im saying. The way russians abandon tanks and artillery means there are no casualities required to call this offensive effective. Im sure russians are no joke and never will be.
And in north russians were prepared i think intelligence wasnt that of a failure.
Plus, the fact...
Its clearly stated in different topics at pdf. I had same issue and some pdf members cleared it for me. that chinese tanks have protective casing for rounds which is safer than russian tank design loaders with exposed rounds in magazine prone to fire...
T80UD of pakistan has same dna as russian tanks. isn't it useless as any hit on its turret means most probably it will just pop out the turret and instead of knocking out t80 completely kills it ?
Morale is down for the russian forces. Does not mean Morale couldn't get up.
Get real everyone russia isn't going out so easy. Yes its getting beaten up no doubt about that but Russia is one of the countries who can take a beat and lose for few years before going down.
Very informative discussion with you. Ill agree to most of what you say. Thanks
Thanks for informative post. Yes its on going lets see.
Problem is russia is just keeping ukraine in red zone busy in conflict. I believe so.

La times news same in bbc and reuters news.
Expensive items were left but disabled.
Yes thermite. Ukraines wont tell in there tweets russia left disabled...
There are grenade like devices that melt thickest of metal and point. Used since ww2 to quickly melt main parts of artillery and tank barrels component. To make them quickly disabled with heavy damage to loading mechanism or barrel itself.
They left helis didnt they ?
Russians have highest no. Of tanks in the world including reserve. Dont see them getting worried on equipment so sooner. Most the tanks seem with nominal refurbishments were transported to ukraine.
My analysis are russia has only send 2nd class equipment or 3rd class one for ground forces and...
I remember americans left the equipment in afghanistan claiming that it was better to abandon then transporting it back. So they disabled them and took important items off of the vehicles and other items.
These equipment that the russians have left in hurry does not necessarily mean that all of...
The way russia retreated without fight was clearly russian ruse. The water level risen now the ukraine forces which crossed the river might be cutoff. Pretty sure russians are gonna do actual counter attack maybe in 15 to 30 days.
Russians lack precision weapons that is clearly stated in different articles by western weapon experts. this is the reason they are using rockets which I would never think are effective as much as PGM.
