Trust a Greek to f up the subject. They may be all the things you say but your Ukraine is winning only on tictok. Reality is Russia is taking ground daily and there is jack u can do other than scream.
We have seen western forces in Iraq Afghanistan Libya Syria all very careful. NoT

im not Greek, im european.


Ukraine winning only on tiktok? Ukraine was a 100% russian colony. Now it got russian free in 80%.. i call this impressive. And that 80% got today the EU membership support from Germany. Russia lost east, north and south west Ukraine akready, at same time has massive losses on soldiers. We can live with that.


Its what we do amigo, simply be a catalyst to make russians fertilizer in Ukraine. At moment not much else is needed.

Russia is NOT all out against Ukraine.

Any country attacking another would in the start phase of war would.

1. Knock out the entire power grid
2. Knock out railway main bridges and road network
3. Water and sanitation
4. Constantly attack anything entering the country.

Why has Russia not done the above being so evil?

Very easy to understand. Putin is hunting Nazi. If he destroys the power grid everything goes dark. How can he find any Nazi in darkness?

Greece isn't in Europe? How stupid
Russia gave ukraine independence. Are you being a typical white trash liar and want to re write history? Fact are facts.
If Russia has lost east west and south why are Russian forces in Ukraine and not been push back to Russia.. are u even out of school
It's what we do. Loool. OK have a nice day. Arguing with a fool is not even entertaining anymore. Especially a Greek plate smasher

1. How and Why? How first, how do you knock out the entire Powergrid in Ukraine? In the old days, when we do it, we bomb the powerplant, it's a no go as Ukraine heavily rely on Nuclear Power. So the only thing you can do to take out the powergrid of THE ENTIRE COUNTRY is to taking out all the substation. You are talking about thousand if not tens of thousand of Substation. Are you going to knock all of them down? And then what if they repair some of them?

Are you going to knock them down with Missile or Air Strike? First of all, you need 2 or 3 missile per target to make sure they are destroyed. Or you fly deep into Ukraine and destroy them with your aircraft. Russia won't have enough missile to take them all out and flying aircraft only work in the East because if you go deep into target in Western Ukraine, you are flying over the entire length of a hostile facing mobile and static SAM and Air Opposition, in short, you are going to lose a lot of aircraft.

On the other hand, why? We are not in the 60s, let's say even if you can take out the entire grid, that probably will hinder Ukrainian industrial capability (which would alternatively be destroy if you target those instead) so are you saying Ukraine cannot fight at night without power??

2.) Again, how? That was a aerial intense task, let's pretend point 1 did not happen, you did not "waste" thousand of missile on their substation, how are you going to attack railway bridge and every road junction? First of all, it is not possible to do so with cruise missile, CEP is not enough and warhead is too small to make a different, which mean you are going to be looking at dropping a few snake on target if you want to destroy railway bridge or road junction. Then the same thing applies with point 1. You may be remotely able to do it in the East, but flying across the entire length of hostile country with Peer SAM system, sure, they don't have S-400. but S-300 would be more than a match for the Su-34 and Su-25 for that job. Even Stinger is enough to bring down (and they indeed brought down a few) those SUs.

On the other hand, Russia is a Armor heavy force, destroying the road would work against them because it will also slow their own advance.

3.) What does that do to Military? First of all, there aren't much to attack, you can't go after dams in Nova Karkova because it will flood Crimea, Ukraine don't depend on desalination plant. Which mean they can get water in numerous source, from rain water to truck them from Poland. This is more gear toward sapping Civilian morale than inhibiting Ukrainian warfighting capability, and that is assume you can do it anyway, the same things applies, you need to be able to reach that.

4.) How? What you can use to reach 500km inland from Belarus in Polish Border? You want to bomb them or you want to send missile? Cruise or Ballistic missile is for hard target, no one on this earth have that advance technology to target soft and moving target with Cruise missile. You want to fancy a long range ground strike day after day deep into Western Ukraine??

It's not about why they didn't do it, but whether or not they "can" do it.

The Ukrainian army continues to use limited aircraft in some places. A video of an operational airfield of the Ukrainian army created in the field in the area between Ivanovka and Ryasnopol in the Odessa region has appeared. It is possible that the spontaneous airfield has already disappeared, since Russian intelligence is working quickly. In the video, you can see three Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters and one Mi-2 helicopter. The video also shows the combat operation of the Mi-8 helicopter of Ukraine, the pilots attack from afar, in the nose-up mode, just like Russian pilots do in Ukraine.

A new batch of Western weapons has arrived in Ukraine, a trainload of British Warrior MCV-80 armored personnel carriers has been spotted. Serial production of the BMP Warrior MCV-80 began in 1985. The armored vehicle is equipped with a 30 mm L21A1 automatic cannon, with which a 7.62 mm machine gun is paired. The Warrior BMP has a significant drawback - the lack of stabilization of the 30-mm cannon, because of this, it is advisable to fire while stopped. Despite this, Warrior in terms of reliability and survivability has proven itself well in the war in Iraq. Some versions of the armored personnel carrier were equipped with Chobham armor; there is a known case when such armor withstood 12 RPG hits in Iraq, but these versions were not delivered to Ukraine. Now the Warrior MCV-80 is in service with Britain and Kuwait, but is gradually being replaced by the German BMP Boxer. The speed on the highway BTR Warrior 75 km / h, cruising range 500 km. The crew of the BMP is 3 people, the number of soldiers transported is 7.

Russia never gave Ukraine independence it was always a colony and under the russian boot. But thats the thing, what can russia offer other than backwardness and primitivism? Nothing, thats why all run away. Ukraine has a pest problem, which it currently deals with. And we send the tools.

Just one thing.

What was all that done in Iraq. That wasn't the 1960s

You are who you are ot doesn't matter. So you are partly Greek. No big deal even if you were from a deserted island.
If it was a Russian colony then why was it allowed to flourish so much. Ofcourse Eastern Ukraine is backwards

 

[ZeGerman]

You mean territory near Kiev that Russia is not planning to take? That means following your logic that Russia taking only half of Ukraine would be considered big win by Ukraine?

Ukraine used to be firm in russias sphere of influence and control now 80% is anti-russian.

Russia with just 150k troops (15% of its army)

A lot of these are combat ready troops and material instead. Losing these hurts more and russiancannot simply empty border regions either to reinforce.

with minimal losses

Estimations of 15.000 to 20.000 killed. This is massive. This is also why they had to retreat from kiev and kharkiv, and now have a snake crawl speed of pushing in donbass.

succefully massacring 700 000 strong Ukrainian army supplied by whole NATO.

Ukranian losses are similar to russian…
And supplies are only starting to build up. The nato reserve material is far far far from depleted/used.

What is surprised the whole world is humiliating performance of American weapons, NATO

Ehmm with cheap javelins, stingers and anti-ship weapons russia lost thousands of material and their flagship….

Howitzer and caedar are performing well. More fun to come with the himars

and rapid collapse of Western economies.

This will be global recession.
Will be a hit cause we relied/trusted russia on gas/oil shipments. Nothing close to a collapse though. And after we are weaned of russian gas, then russia just lost their biggest customer….

Everyone sees now that US and NATO is just a pathetic paper tiger Russia is going to continue humiliate NATO and US in Ukraine

Ah thats why russia doesnt dare to scratch a milimeter of polish ground.
Theathens nukes on finland/sweden for thinking of joining nato.
And part of the invasion of ukraine was because they were getting close to nato.

Paper tiger? It puts the fear in russia however…and nato hasnt even started to really get involved yet.

Iraq the first time. not the second. Night fighting is still at infancy back in 1990

We did not attack the entire Power Grid in 2003. Those are no longer strategic target in 2003, those were tactical when I was in Iraq, you want the power to stop for a while (Like the airborne assault in Al-Harir Air Base) the 173 were to jump at night, and a power down within/around the airfield would have help the 173 insertion, so we attacked Powergrid north of Baghdad.

In all, not much Powergrid were targetted, we didn't even touch the main grid in Baghdad. When I rolled into Baghdad, the city still have power.
