International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V13

[nhbfan8080]

Russia has been reduced to using trucks that were BUILT BEFORE WWII.

It makes sense if they are using more expendable hardware to conserve their better quality equipment in the larger scheme of things. A top of the line western tank gets disabled with a landmine just as easily as a T-55.
Ukraine hasn't been able to push back on the Russian advance and extending the cauldron is making the situation more worrying.

They are using T 54 and T 55 as mobile field artillery...It is approx 4 inch high pressure field gun usable for indirect fire support and likes this or no, for ranges more than 3000 meters IF cheap shells should be used it is more effective than any modern smoothbore gun....
It is rifled high pressure smoothbore guns with anti infantry ammo available in huge ammounts.
Unfortunately for Ukraine.

Yeah, basically idiotism Ukraine had did with Severodonetsk, Soledar and Bakhmut continues even today....

Flanks should be guarded too, not only just some strong points.

It is painful to see Zelensky idiotism demanding to go in counterattacks and fight for each inch etc stupidity.
Attrrition war demands to destroy enemy forces ....not to take land or to take land back

@San Marino wellness check

He’s been preoccupied with shitting up the Israel thread. He’s got a whole new crowd to respond to by asking inane questions to instead of responding to what the they wrote. Looks like he’s enjoying himself

Disabled just as easily? Maybe. Destroyed with crew killed inside though, definitely not

If west had took this stuff in depth that it is about China to take world hegemony and Russia is their lapdog de facto here.

Also Ukraine looks that a lot of ppl are taking this as business and nothing in reality personal.
Sorry for reality and Realpolitik.

 

[SandisLL]

We have Iranian drones attacks, help us.
Okey. Maybe 2 SAM batteries and 1400 missiles.
Yeah, and we will need xxx b for rebuilding.
Thank you, we might offer 1 SAM battery and 700 missiles.

Like this....

Lets not forget that Israel does not have the man power for a long war.
They cant even manage a 3 month war with all the Arab neighbors.
Israel is in big trouble.

Man power maybe....
While they unlike Ukraine are huge weapons warehouse...
Also a lot of modern stuff etc...so they partially might reduce role of number of troops you have.
Add here all these bunkers and shelters they had built since 1960 ies....

 

[SandisLL]

Sure.
It is deUkrainization process well done by partners and Mr Zelensky ...
After successful Kharkov offensive weapons supplies surprisingly had stalled enough long time to allow Russia to build fortifications etc.
I had posted in January that with supplies maybe might be enough to keep Frontline. In best case.

Pretty sure @lsa wasn't actually talking about Israel...

I am not sure about anything.
That I am pretty sure about.

Israel still does have more chances than Ukraine.
Ukraine anyway will be submitted with such support they does have.

So phase No1...to cede part of country and sign all stuff Putin will demand.
Phase No2....next episode and all Ukraine will be Russia.

Sadly Zelensky did not had get what will happen .
China too is happy, lesser Russians in Siberia walking around ...more oxygen to breath and easier will be to expand....

True, But as we’ve seen Russia does t seem to give a single fuck about their soldiers.

I’ve only skimmed past his posts but no bullshit I saw him talking about how Russia might end up attacking Israel with an airborne assault. He is fucking something

Airborne assault by Russia on Israel?
Israel definitely isn't world No1 superpower but ...they does have considerably more anti air defense equipment than all the same Ukraine ever had plus is small area, smaller than Kiev oblastj.

 

[Dalarna3]

Counteroffensive over officially?

 

[SandisLL]

The same Iron Dome isn't ideal cos long reload time, while launchers might be unmanned when doesn't needs reload process and might be operated remotely.
Each battery does have 3-4-5-6 launchers with 20 missiles each.

Question how you might overwhelm such battery is plain and simple: launch more missiles than battery does have interceptors and do it in mass wave type attack.

So 4 launchers battery at best will intercept 80 missiles. Maybe 40.
If you will launch in one episode 100 missiles something definitely will land.
