International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

Reader mode
Now if about recent strikes in Lvov and Poltava.
All victims in Lvov were civilians.....

Poltava stuff really demonstrated insane incompetence in Ukraine.
Russian trolls farms ofc playing mystery stories about batches with high level NATO instructors killed etc idiotic stories ....
NATO instructors might teach online without problems or order to deliver guys in their country and high level instructors in communications doesn't waste time with noobs, sorry.

While there thus far weren't reported foreigners casualities cases in this Poltava strike, obviously Ukr were totally irresponsible.....
This area is close to frontline, notice time for alert is short and looks that most likely this area didn't had nor Patriot nor SAMP-T protection.
They does have 58 coffins and more than 300 in hospitals.
Thus far 0 foreigner.

There really will be a lot of questions about irresponsibility level....
 
Then there is common thing when some hotel get hit, then russian trolls are posting about secret meeting, mysterious NATO officers and so on.

Reality is that in west long ago since 1970 ies common belief is that in eastern europe hotels where foreigners are allowed are filled with listening devices and alot from perssonnel might be informants....therefore serious business talks can't be done in hotel or restaurant close to this hotel or in restaurant/ pub located in building where is this hotel...

For example about hotels in USSR where foreigners were allowed.
They had normal hotel, where part of basements and one floor were for...sound recording equipment in order to record all sounds in hotel and all phone conversations, additionally at least 50% from perssonnel were KGB informants.
When they settled for business usage they had to order dozen trucks in order to relocate tapes where sound was recorded and huge batches with recording devices, cables etc. Even from toilets.
Toilet: 2-3 microphones and ofc cables to connect these.
 
If about tanks T-72 versions produced in Gorbachev era aren't weak and if they does have latest upgrade packages they aren't much worse than T-90 exceptions is shell length autoloader might use...
These aren't early 1970 ies models T-72 export versions Iraq had ....not even close to this.
These are late 1980 ies models not allowed for export...

The biggest difference between early T-72 ies and late 1980 ies T-72 is that later versions does have more effective armour for front glacis and turret cheeks...also better spall liners .if about engines then already was considered that 840 HP engine is better than 750 HP or 780 HP engine. Russians achieved to increase power and torque without changes in engine weight or size....

If about Iranian drones...
Looks that most likely Mr Lukashenko had ordered to shot down Iranian drones if they are in Belarus airspace. For this purpose thus far Mr Lukashenko ordered to use MiG 29 ....most likely there already were at least 3 such cases.
 
For me this situation looks like this : Lukashenko really does support Putin a lot and always had told how smart and beautiful is Putin.
However he really does fear to get his transformators or refineries get damaged.
Therefore if there is possibility that motorbikes might hit refineries or large transformators....he might order to shot down mopeds and pretend that these weren't Iranian model motorbikes clones launched by Russia.
 
I don't support Ukrainian barking on Mongolia because Mongolia is landlocked country with borders : China and Russia.
So if Mongolia had arrested Putin, they still aren't able to transport Putin somewhere without crossing Russia's land border or airspace or China's land border or airspace. Does someone think that China or Russia will allow in such situation to transport Putin somewhere from Mongolia if Putin will not agree?
Ofc no, so Mongolia doesn't have technical ability to transport Putin somewhere....
Then why to arrest?

Absolutely. Mongolia is trapped and barely a "country". Visit was on purpose chosen there as I haven't seen ever a more scared piece of shit president as Putin and Ukr are known for senseless barking like you said often times.

Ofc. Mongolia technically isn't capable to transport Putin IF Russia or China will not agree.
In case if Putin had been arrested, China and Russia are capable to ensure 100% borders blockade until they will release Putin and Mongolia doesn’t have ability to transport Putin somewhere if China or Russia will not agree.

Next visit most likely will be North Korea, Iran or Belarus....
 
Today one diesel fuel depot in Belgorod oblatsj get fireworks. It isn't known was this cos technical mistakes, saboteurs, diversants or drones....
 
There also is reality that some % from technicians now are working for thus small special operation : these are promised to get paid better than fuel depots technicians in Russia + for recruiter better is to get someone with at least some technical education and technical way of thinking rather than recruit random burger flipper.
 
Dragging people off the street to fill the frontlines have consequences. The unwilling make poor fighters.
Two and half years of Russia’s grinding offensive have decimated many Ukrainian units. Reinforcements are few and far between, leaving some soldiers exhausted and demoralized. The situation is particularly dire among infantry units near Pokrovsk and elsewhere on the eastern front line, where Ukraine is struggling to stop Russia’s creeping advances.

CNN spoke to six commanders and officers who are or were until recently fighting or supervising units in the area. All six said desertion and insubordination are becoming a widespread problem, especially among newly recruited soldiers.

Four of the six, including Dima, have asked for their names to be changed or withheld due to the sensitive nature of the topic and because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

“Not all mobilized soldiers are leaving their positions, but the majority are. When new guys come here, they see how difficult it is. They see a lot of enemy drones, artillery and mortars,” one unit commander currently fighting in Pokrovsk told CNN. He also asked to remain anonymous.

“They go to the positions once and if they survive, they never return. They either leave their positions, refuse to go into battle, or try to find a way to leave the army,” he added.

Ofc for orgasm is better to talk about ukr or rus morale etc.
Soldiers are different ....some are volunteers and motivated pros.... some are just for money or cos busification.
Units equipment and supplies might be different etc.
Russia too does have ( I had posted since 2022 th ) some units well equipped with modern stuff and generously supplied with ammo...
Some guys aren't really interested and are for paycheck and aren't pros ....
