Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[beijingwalker]

It's always easy to sit in your arm chair to criticize others, no country can say they can do better than Russia unless they prove themselves to try it by themselves.

As of March 19, Russia (including DPR and LPR) has lost at least 250 tanks. These are only visually the number of casualties as evidenced by Ukrainian sources.

6 T-64BV
7 T-72A
3 T-72AVs
42 T-72B
10 T-72B Obr. 1989
18 T-72B3
58 T-72B3 Obr. 2016
11 T-80BV
43 T-80U
1 T-80UK
17 T-80BVM
16 T-90A
17 Unknown tanks

Russia loses an average of 1 tank battalion at least, every day. About 5% to 7% of the total active T-72 inventory was lost. 10% to 15% of total active T-80 inventory lost. 3% to 5% of total active T-90 inventory lost. And personnel losses are the main and real problem. If Russia cannot slow this attrition, it will begin to experience vital problems in its armored units within a month or two.

Russian Missile Strike Obliterated Hangar At Ukrainian MiG-29 Depot Satellite Image Shows​

Satellite imagery confirms Russian missiles caused major damage to a key fighter jet repair plant in Lviv, Ukraine.​

Just hours after the strike occurred, The War Zone has obtained a high-resolution satellite image confirming that Russian missiles hammered the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant, destroying a large hangar there and causing other damage. This state-owned enterprise is the only one in the country that is capable of performing major maintenance on the Ukrainian Air Force's MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jets. Those aircraft have been one of a number of factors that have prevented Russian forces from gaining air superiority in the conflict so far.

The Planet Labs image, portions of which are seen below and at the top of this story, was taken at 9:08 AM UTC, or around 11:08 AM local time in Lviv. In addition to the destroyed hangar, the destruction of another structure immediately to the west can be seen. There is also an impact crater on an outdoor aircraft parking area on the eastern side of the plant. It's not clear if any aircraft were damaged or destroyed in the strike, but it's worth noting that the aircraft closest to the crater are nonoperational types. In addition to a number of MiG-29s, there are older MiG-23/27 and MiG-21 combat jets, as well as airlifters, which Ukraine no longer flies, visible outside in the imagery of the facility. It's important to note that this facility services foreign aircraft, too.

It was statement by American General, who are used to making such boastful claims themselves:
All over news and other media, propagandists are behaving as if Rus made this 2 day claim. Rus didn't make any such bluff.

Gen. Milley says Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if Russia decides to invade Ukraine: sources​

Gen. Milley says Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if Russia decides to invade Ukraine: sources

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told lawmakers that Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine took place, multiple congressional sources tell Fox News.

American Officials made similar bluffs before Iraq war.
There was a claim on US TV that they will occupy Iraq in 30 minutes [though I cannot find online source but I watch that claim on TV in those days].
But below is a documented bluff of American veteran official:

"Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that", Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

@Apollon Your Propaganda got busted.

Why should we? We just watch them bleed out.

Fighting Russia till last Standing Ukrainian. Such Videos of Ukrainian cities must give you & your Government Solace?

Russian conventional military performance in Ukraine is underwhelming TBH.

US-led forces overwhelmed Iraq in a span of just 21 days back in 2003, and they are much better armed now.

Russia has lost more men and material in Ukraine in a span of 20 days than US-led forces lost in Iraq in a span of 20 years.

There is no comparison.

$400 million worth of Western supplied weaponry destroyed in a single russian strike on the military base near Lvov — radio intercepted comms suggest that 267 foreign mercenaries have been killed in the strike. 50 year old Peter from Austria who fought alongside the “international legion of Ukraine” said that 800 to 1000 foreign mercenaries were present during the strike. Around 400 mercenaries were evacuated to Poland, many of whom have suffered severe burns & torn limbs from the Kalibr strike. There’s a high number of missing individuals still under the rubble which includes a high number of Americans, Poles and Romanians. Former NATO officers are Amongst the dead.

Russian tanks in the Kyiv countryside. No APS, no obvious protection, apart from reactive armor plates on some. While Ukraine has missiles with very advanced armor penetration and top attack capability, the Russian army needs to be more careful with its tank units.

US any better? don't forget US just fled Afghanistan months ago, abandoning mountains of equipments and weapons, almost like a comic show.

Thanks to Joe Biden.

This is the outcome of electing an 80 year old to office - a man this old would be spent and cold like a cadaver on average.

Vladimir Putin is both physically and mentally tough for a leader on the other hand - credit where due.

I want try. Putin is a weakling who brought his little yacht home before he attacked Ukraine. A guy who cares so much for something laughable as a yacht does not use nukes

I do not allow you.
