Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[Viet]

Well, it didn't help when Russian invade their "Slavic Brother" and failed to go thru with the occupation....

Almost all those Central Asian Nation are not Slavic, imagine what Putin would do to them poorly??


It really depends on whether or not US would transfer the TOW missile.

Bradley without TOW is probably worse than the BMPs. I mean, it's just basically bringing in 8 troops in a sweatbox with a 25mm, If US transfer the TOW missile as well, that will become a different thing.

not about Slavic. Putin cares little about this. He is just greedy. Donbas is the industrial heart of Ukraine and rich in natural resources. As if Russia is not big enough and poor in oil and gas. But the world id not enough, more is always better, he is simply a primitive thief.

FSB investigation into the ukranian/nato terrorist attack on a civilian bridge has confirmed the explosives came from odessa by the sea.

This means there is a high chance it was smuggled in by a humanitarian grain ship. I reaallly hope this is not true, because it would just be low on soo many fronts. Hope it was worth it for the ukies/nato

Separate Iranian sources report that the Russian army has ordered new Arash-2 kamikaze drones from Iran. This model is more powerful than the Shahed-136 UAV, or as it is called Geran-2 in Russia. There is very little information on the Arash-2 UAV, it is known that it operates at a distance of up to 2000 kilometers and has a homing system. The UAV is a cruise missile and is capable of loitering over a target. Drone "Arash-2" is a new development of the Iranian army, perhaps its early version - "Arash-1" will be delivered to Russia.

Footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" in the S-300 air defense system of the Ukrainian army. Usually S-300 air defense systems are not designed to work on such small targets, it is not even economically profitable, the complex should have been covered by other air defense systems designed to work on small targets, but apparently they were not. The cost of the S-300 air defense system is about $250 million. When attacked by a drone, it was attacked by soldiers with MANPADS, but all the missiles missed.

The Buk-M1 air defense system of the Ukrainian army was hit by a Russian kamikaze drone Lancet in the Zaporozhye region. Judging by the trenches nearby, the Buk-M1 air defense system was placed right on the front line

A series of strikes by a kamikaze Lancet drone in Ukraine. Footage of the use of the modernized loitering ammunition "Lancet" on the armored vehicles of the Ukrainian army. As reported, UAV crews of the Russian Airborne Forces worked in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction.

The US launched a coup in Iran much the same way to ukraine. Overthrowing an elected government in favour of a thug puppet regime.


The only difference is Iranians never Ever bought the narrative. And at the earliest opportunity decapited the imposed regime, and stuck a fist up the zionist/american rear ends since 1979.

If Iran had become a willing participant of american coups. Became a fascist country ethnically cleansing minorities and made our country a foreign base with the sole purpose of attacking Russia or some orher major power. And that power got pissed off and retaliated. Then yes. That zombie aggressive state would lose its right to survive as far as the targeted country (Russia) is concerned

Ps. I know your a zionist and your schtick is to use walls of nonesense to play wordgames. I have no interest in engaging with such clowns

The ”coup” was in reality the Shah disposing Mossadeq according to the constitution. I am talking about the ousting of the Shah.
We can view the popularity of the regime on the news where people are killed daily.
Should you not change your flag, since Iran is not a country according to your point of view?

FSB are told in advance what the conclusion of their investigations should be…

A grain ship from Odessa going to Russia to deliver explosives??
The idea in itself is ridiculous and if it against all common sense is true, point at unprecedented incompetence by Russia.

A symbolic strike that forces the Russians to have to repair a bridge till next July. And forcing many trucks not able to take the road, and using ferries that can only accommodate a few every few hours. Not to mentioned ferries being delayed by weather. In all its about crippling logistics just like in Kherson and Kharkiv. It is worth it for sure.

Try not to choke on your coffee, Westernsky. This true story told by Ilya Barabanov to Michael Naki on his YouTube channel shows the Russian Armed Forces for what it is: a paper tiger.

At the beginning of April 2022, Ukrainian army intercepted messages between Russian troops in the north that revealed a peculiar ceremony that had recently taken place in Chernihiv Oblast, then occupied by the Russian Armed Forces. For the good measure, it was recorded by a crew of the military TV channel Star, affiliated with the Ministry of Defence.

A son, the officer of Russian Army, is awarded a medal for personal heroism by his father, the general of Russian Army, in front of TV cameras in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine.

Lieutenant colonel Denis Alexandrovich Lapin Jr (left), commander of the 1st Guards Tank Regiment, part of the legendary 1st Guards Taman Motor Rifle Division, stationed in Moscow Oblast, receives a medal for the Siege of Chernihiv from his father, General Colonel Alexander Lapin, commander of the Central Military District, and his commander, too as they’re based in the same military district.

Ironically, on the same day when TV channel Star spoke about General Lapin awarding soldiers and officers medals for the liberation of Chernihiv Oblast, the Russian Army, including his son’s tank regiment, were retreating, or more like, running away as fast as they could abandoning tanks behind from Chernihiv, Kyiv and Sumi Oblasts.

Preceding the medal awarding ceremony, Denis Lapin’s Tank Regiment had been ordered to launch an attack on Kyiv, which he completely failed. Most of the regiment’s tanks were destroyed. Dozens of tank crews died, others were captured.

To this day, May 6th, many soldiers from the 1st Guards Tank Regiment are missing, and relatives do not get any information about their fate neither from Denis Lapin nor from his father.

Against the background of this military catastrophe, Denis Lapin, who’s lost most of the tanks of this elite regiment, receives a medal for personal heroism.

You can watch those tanks in the old footages of the May 9 Victory Day military parades on the Red Square as they participated every year with Denis Lapin in the lead tank sticking out of a tank turret.

Intercepted radio communication of the regiment revealed soldiers disrespecting commanders and complaining about awful supply lines and bad communication system. Up till the last moment, Lapin was telling his subordinates they were on the way to military exercises.

Then he abandoned them without any artillery support and, and a cherry on top…ladies and gentlemen, Denis Lapin, who received a medal from his dad for personal heroism, deserted his troops and never entered the territory of Ukraine.

Denis Lapin has lost so many tanks, destroyed and captured by the Ukrainian army, that it’s likely that 1st Guards Tank Regiment has been completely wiped out, and doesn’t exist anymore.

Denis Lapin lacks any military talents and made his career under his father’s guidance. He was supposed to spend the rest of his service in comfortable Moscow Oblast, in the elite Taman Division, once a year driving a tank across the Red Square and enjoying his massive salary… until Putin decided to go to war with Ukraine.

To add insult to injury, Denis Lapin not only received a medal for losing an elite tank regiment, but was also promoted to the Colonel rank.

Denis and Alexander Lapin still serve in the Russian Army.

Did Vladimir Putin know about the true state of the Russian armed forces? Of course, he did. After all, he ensured that every institution in this country is as corroded with nepotism and corruption as the army.

The truth is, and I might be hard for you accept with your rational Westernsky mind, Putin just didn’t give a shit.

The man is hell bent on destroying Russia probably because he doesn’t like the country nor its people.

By commanding the army to advance or to retreat, being ignorant of the fact that it cannot obey. This is called hobbling the army.-Sun Tzu

@jhungary

Any chance the Ukrainians can reverse engineer the Shahed 136 they captured mostly intact and return the favor hitting Russian targets from Crimea to actual Russian soil? Maybe even get some help by the U.S. or other countries, build it in Poland by the thousands and transfer it over to Ukraine? Even make some improvements on it.

Another component of the new aid package seeks to enhance Ukraine's anti-armor capabilities with 1,000 tube-launched, optically tracked, wireless-guided missiles, known as TOW missiles, as well as 1,000 Javelin missiles and anti-armor rifle rounds.

i say those tows are downgrade over what Ukraine was receiving before , it seems the war is showing its effect on NATO arsenal

https://twitter.com/x/status/1581305824734896128

Iranian border guard barracks in Kurdistan region ,used to use those antiaircraft gun and cannons against attacking Kurdish militant , I assure you the result was ugly , you don't want be on receiving end of it even if you hide behind a stone or a mound , you are fucked up

Putin have not read the situation. He should have taken over these areas back in 2014 when he took crimea. You have to be decisive and quick, he instead took crimea and delayed taking the rest. They had 8 years to arm and prepare while the russian army was doing nothing. Big mistake.
The other thing that have disappointed and kind of astonished everyone is the russian air force. Its totally useless and have achieved nothing. Remember the fear of S400 before this war, even Pakistan was worried abt indian S400 deal but now, no one cares, ppl know russian systems and way way overrated.

 

[ziaulislam]

Yep, West Virginia has a GDP per capita of $54K, which would place it in the top 20 nations in the world.

Those who study development don't use per Capital income which can be insanely high if Elon musk decides to move to west Virginia but human development index

Why don't you enlighten us on it

 

[Hack-Hook]

Think some page ago someone posted this is a decoy from the OSINT guy??

that Buk clearly was a decoy , not even a single explosion after the hit, this two s-300 were legit , well unless they put several hundred kg of explosives under the decoy

I bet that many people are not disappointed with the performance of the Russian Air Force compared with expectations.

Russia is doing okay under the circumstances. They have captured Ukrainian territory and probably will expand. Ukraine is receiving a lot of support and intel from the Americans and Europeans. They are bound to have some success against the Russians. Russians ars still the favorite.
