International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[San Marino]

The point is you tried to claim French main battle tanks were destroyed, and instead of admitting you were wrong you tried calling an AMX-10 a tank. France did not supply any MBTs.

No one is denying that Ukraine has suffered combat loses, it's a war. You're trying to bend reality instead of just admitting you were wrong about something so simple and easily verified.

Oh, I was wrong buddy. There is no denying. Can we move on now? At least I admit to things when I'm wrong - and I have been wrong more than once. So what?
You don't. You have been wrong multiple times in your statements. You still have not admitted to the fat that Russia has destroyed American and German tanks. That Ukrainians are deserting the Army by the thousands. That Russia still holds 20% of Ukraine. That Ukraine will not win this conflict.

I never denied that American or German tanks have been destroyed? I never denied there have been desertions? I never denied Russia holds Ukrainian territory?

You exist outside of reality, stuck in a bubble of bullshit encapsulated in Russia propaganda fed to you by losers. America provided very few tanks, and even then only a few have been confirmed destroyed, like literally less than a handful. Germany also provided very few tanks as well, and these are quite old vehicles compared to even the outdated models of M1A1s that America provided. More have been destroyed than the M1s, but again not many of either have been provided. I believe Russia itself has still provided the most tanks to Ukraine from their retreat from Kharkiv and Kyiv early in the war. You can watch Russian tank depots from civilian satellites empty from the start to the current point of the war, you don't need to take Ukraine's word for it. The T-80 is nearly extinct. Russia has lost over 3,000 tanks since this all started, exponentially more than the entire west has provided to Ukraine. The "20%" of Ukraine Russia holds, was almost entirely under their control before the war started, Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk. The only gains they've made and held are the land bridge between Russia and Crimea. Ukraine captured more of Kursk province than Russia has gained in all of Ukraine over the last year, and even that is just a tiny salient on the map. Russia hasn't been able to approach, let alone capture, a single provincial capitol of the provinces they've claim as their own. They abandoned Kherson city without even putting up a fight. Their navy was in shambles before the war, and now over a 1/3rd of it is on the bottom of the ocean, including their flagship which was worth more than all the old tanks the West has provided combined.

Russia's economy is in shambles, the ruble is worth less than a penny. Inflation is rampant and interest rates are over 20% already. Russia is losing access to their overseas holdings, they've lost their influence over Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Syria. What remains of their navy is isolated in the Mediterranean without a single friendly port for them to resupply in between Libya and Murmansk, if you even know where Murmansk is. Russia already had an economy smaller than Florida, who do you think is going to run out of gas first? Ukraine still has the largest army in Europe several times over despite their loses and desertions. As long as the US and EU keep supplying Ukraine, Russia isn't going to capture the provinces they've claimed let alone the entire country which was their aim.

Ah, no, I think that would be you. You need to admit to that. Do you know how many people laugh at your stupid posts?

No, it was not. Look at the Ukrainian map before the invasion. That is a stupid statement.

Russia hasn't been able to approach, let alone capture, a single provincial capitol of the provinces they've claim as their own.

Wrong again. C'mon, you know you are wrong here. Look at the map above.

None of which matter in this conflict. The Navy? Please. This is a ground war.

Ukraine still has the largest army in Europe several times over despite their loses and desertions.

Is that counting all the Ukrainian soldiers that have deserted or surrendered?
Ukrainian Army, 2024: 970,000 soldiers.
Russian Army, 2024: 1,500,000 soldiers - another 2,000,000 in reserve. A total of: 3,500,000 soldiers.

Russia isn't going to capture the provinces they've claimed let alone the entire country which was their aim.

So, you are saying Russia has not captured any Ukrainian territory? Was the Russian aim to capture all of Ukraine? Wasn't there something about deposing the current government?

I know what the map looks like, lmao. Russia had actual or defacto control of Crimea and Luhansk, and the majority of Donetsk before the war started. Your map doesn't illustrate that.

They claim 5 provinces, 3 of which they already controlled the majority of before the war started, the other two they control half or less They haven't even began to approach the capitol of Zaporizhzhia and they already retreated from Kherson City.

It's only a ground war now because Russian naval capacity has been completely neutered. They tried and failed multiple times to conduct naval landings and lost many of their most important ships. Also, I'm not sure if you're aware, naval ships are cruise missile carriers and absolutely play a part in modern conflicts, even on land. The point I'm illustrating by pointing out their navy loses is that whatever scrap of land they manage to claim in Ukraine, if they manage to hold any of it, is completely negated by their loses of material and overseas influence. Losing their bases in Syria is a bigger blow to Russia we haven't and they haven't even began to see the effects of.

Do you know what the word despite means? I said "Ukraine has the largest army in Europe several times over despite their loses and desertions". Many armies throughout history have won despite being outnumbered, there's a lot more to war than the number of bodies you have at your disposal. If your economy is in ruins and you can't even equip the bodies you have available, you might as well not have them and they become a detriment.

I never said Russia has not captured territory, I said they've captured very little for the price they've paid and in the end, it's certainly not going to be worth their losses in international relations and influence. Russia absolutely intended to capture the entire country and install a puppet like Lukashenko. They failed and their reputation with the international community will be ruined for a century or more if it ever recovers. At their current rate of progress it's going to take them 30 million casualties and 500 years to capture all of Ukraine, so they're going to need to add a 0 on their reserves if they're going to see this through.

The fact that you shared that vid shows you have the mentality of a bag of hammers. 2 years ago you said UKR was out of troops and are doomed and then came in every 6 months saying in 6 months they are doomed...you disappear for over 6 months then come back and say UKR is doomed within a year. The only person who has been more wrong then you is Scott Ritter who has been parroting the same Russian BS....oh and Macgregor too.

...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
"Russian reputation with the international community will be ruined for a century or more." Tell that to Donald Trump. Putin and Trump are 'buds.'
Plus, Russia is a major producer and exporter of energy resources, metals, and minerals. Russia is the second largest producer and exporter of oil in the world. Russia is the world's leading exporter of natural gas and the second largest producer. Russia is the third largest exporter of coal.
30 million casualties for Russia? How many casualties would that make for Ukraine?
Let Russia fire a few more hypersonic Oreshnik missiles with a real conventional warhead into Ukraine and see where things stand after that.
What do you think Russia went through during World War II? This is not their first rodeo.

Kursk operation is going well for Ukraine!




Some Russian equipment going boom right off the bat in this one.

Stop putting words in my mouth.
Ukraine has been going downhill on this conflict since late 2022. The only thing that has helped them is blunders Russia has made in the battlefield and the fact that Putin has not decided to use a small conventional nuke (1 kiloton or 1,000 tons of TNT) in Kiev and other cities.
Ukraine brought this conflict on itself (with the help of Joe Biden) which could have been easily avoidable in 2022.
How is Kaliningrad Oblast a part of Russia when it lies between Poland and Lithuania?

 

[Strychnine]

A Russian battalion has been wiped out in Kursk by Ukraine.

That's 250 to 1,000 lives thrown into meat grinder for Putin's vanity.

A Russian Infantry Battalion has roughly 400 soldiers. An American Infantry Battalion has between 300 to 1,000 soldiers - dependent on branch and MOS.
A U.S. Army Civil Affairs Battalion has roughly 200 soldiers.

Well, from one point obiviously that west always had prefered russia more than ukr.
I repeatedly had posted that west NEVER will allow ukr to win.
This war most likely will end with part of ukr controlled by russia, another part living in debts and dreams.... prognosis didn't had changed since autumn 2022 th...

However ridiculous spinmarino pleasure is useless bs. Both U.S and Russia had lost reputation and DAMN a lot BTW.

Ofc idiotic dreamers in Ukr doesn't help at all, their empty dreams allowed Hitler to spread excuse spinmarino is rolling here ..... 1050 days boring Lavrov's office style with addition for trolling : boring job.

 

[SandisLL]

A lot of yt guys are posting pathetic texts in order to get attention...
For example stuff when insisted that we assumed that some model x or y tank is unbeatable superweapon etc.

We had to see T-90 stopped with old obsolete anti tank mine. The same with western tanks.
Difference is that " bad dumb west " didn't had sent ukr latest models tanks...russia had sent even T-90M & even this not just T-90M but additionally upgraded...

 

[SandisLL]

If about meaning " batallion ", for example since World War II with some Russia and ofc Ukr from name alone it is difficult to guess number of military persons " batallion " even if 100% completed with manpower does have. Yup.

For example traditional their batallion 100% fully completed usually might have....

From approx 4x120 plus maybe 20- 50 ( approx 500- 530 in total ).
Till approx 4x150 plus maybe even 150 ( approx 750 ).

However in some cases might be even stuff like this: 6x150 plus maybe even 250 ( approx 1150 ).
This in peacetime.
