Aviation.
Ukraine isn't even top 10 in europe and they are begging even for AN-2 kukurizniks and Mi-2 transport heli...not alone to talk about jets.

Actual reality is that Ukraine had gradually deMilitarized it's aviation and air defense 30 years in row....
Number of airframes reduced, modernization mainly in loud PR talks, old airframes....
Ukr Mig 29 and Su 27 = old airframes and unlike russian ones, usually not modernised ....
Su-25 without main upgrades - Azerbaijan at least refubrished not on paper and installed laser tagging pods etc for these....

Ukraine produced decent transport planes (Antonov bureau), aerospace engines (MotorSich, Ivchenko-Progress) and tanks (Malyshev) before the war.

Transport planes are different talk. They were top notch.
Aerospace engines were top notch but laziness ....
Tanks, better see reality : they even failed to deliver in time for export contracts and a lot of their tanks even didn't had reactive armour ! when war started.
Ofc Bulat etc were more PR cos they had low number of them.

I even might wonder, did Poland supplied them ERAWA2 ERA or no....
Cos, sorry, If Ukraine still had rushed to put Kontakt 1 ERA on tanks after war had started...and this is 1980 ies USSR era.
 
1992 th. Ukraine had 4000+ main battle tanks....
2022 th. " armed to teeth dangerous supernazi on paper had <900 main battle tanks....on paper in working condition.
Sure ....armed till teeth threat for matushka in Kremlin.

Any talk about a negotiated peace treaty?

That's what I thought.



How many people need to die and how much infrastructure needs to be destroyed?
 
BTW even if T-72 is old lineage, opinions that they does have the same hull as tanks from early 1970 ies are wrong.

Glacis.
First series.
Mid late 1970 ies.
Late 1970 ies.
1980 ies.
Late 1980 ies...

Like this.
Turret armour too had been improved...
__
ERA too.
Kontakt 1 =! Kontakt 5.

Polisi ERAWA 1 =!ERAWA 2.

Kontakt 1 offers low protection against tandem shaped charge ... Kontakt 5 .....considerably more ... reduction of penteration force remaining after tandem shaped charge will penterate this.
 
Abrams pic in pro rus channels is fake because this picture is doctored from multiple videos .....LOL.

This ofc might not mean that Abrams is superweapon.
For example for scenario : 2 old Anti tank mines and after this arty on top ....there will not matter is this Abrams , Armata or T-34....
 
Iranian missiles in Ukraine claim isn't proved at all while high level of suspicions that Iran had very seriously boosted up drones parts supplies to Russia where they are assembling them and also Russia is helping improve warheads for these drones according to task and also to use them as recon drones to taste air Def and collect some info.
While there might be suspicions that Iran jad provided a lot of explosives and " gunpowder " ...
Ukr claims that Russia had used 24 North Korean missiles ....so yeah...
Test poligon for their missiles.

Supplies from North Korea and Iran & Belarus for Russia increased, while for Ukr ( cos suspicious reasons ) gradually had decreased. Plandemic No2 ????

WATCH: Victoria Nuland ADMITS U.S. Money To Ukraine LINING Defense Contractor's Pockets​


Love that title.

1. Why are they shouting ADMITS and LINING in the title?

2. Why would anyone need to admit that defense contractors make money from new defense contracts?

And most importantly..

How did people think it worked before this outrageous "admission"

I think pre-war Russia had a chance to overrun Poland but nowadays there's no way. They would need to amass at least 100,000 soldiers, 1,000 tanks. They can't do it while fighting in Ukraine and with their tank force destroyed.

maybe? Even then they had an absolute fuck tone of tank Brigades and theyre airforce does operate F-16C/D-52+( https://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article9.html )
 
F-16AM(no, not a Block52) im surprised they didn't upgrade them even a little.




72 F-16s will be acquired..

The F-16 fighter jets that Ukraine will receive will need upgrade, says Ihnat

Ukraine expects its western allies to deliver F-16 fighter jets, but these aircraft will need some upgrades to effectively counter the capabilities of Russian aviation, says Yurii Ihnat, speaker of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Yeah and like in Russia defense contractors doesn't exist and doesn't dream about next contracts but warehouses were full and Hitler not likely had agreed to build new ones.
Russia's MIC mainly is state owned while on paper....elite level managment in these companies is well paid stuff and they does have villas and luxurous Western cars for a reason. Swiss watches and jewellery etc.
So war is beauty and good chances to get more funding.
 
If about fighter jets...there pilots are needed and if stuff they might have does have technical skills like Denys then I Wonder is this safe to trust such guy AN-2 Kukuruznik. ( Colt ).

While yelling that Ukr doesn't have manpower looks that is psy op...
Lack of pilots with normal english technical terms skills looks that really might be problem....
Especially if to watch Denys....yt ....damn....hell " level ".
 
More going on they are tired of Washington bs an Ukraine made security deals with Italy, Canada, UK, France, Poland. With finding Chinese an number of African countries fighters fighting for Russia the floodgates are already open for Russia. Russia already crossed the Rubicon a long time ago.



"
France’s President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday he refused to rule out sending ground troops to Ukraine, but said no consensus existed on the step, at a meeting of 20 mainly European leaders in Paris convened by Macron to ramp up the European response to the Russian military advances inside Ukraine.
Protecting France’s strategic ambiguity he said “there is no consensus to officially back any ground troops. That said, nothing should be excluded. We will do everything that we can to make sure that Russia does not prevail.”

Yes, I’d agree Poland is probably the closest to being able to actually perform on the battlefield, the rest of the EU simply has empty arsenals for a long war

Your prob right, this day and age we thought barbarism like Russia was a thing of the past … apparently not, and now the whole world has had to change…

yep, this is groundbreaking news for sure.
 
ViD said:
Well, I guess the warmongers idea is that Russia will attack Poland when Ukraine is done.

For Russia, attacking any of the NATO members is simply idiotic because that would likely mean Kaliningrad is fucked

You're so close to figuring it out

This was in my algo at the gym today and I listened. Definitely some interesting points.




Could be a russian asset but the CV makes me skeptical but never know:

en.wikipedia.org

Harald Kujat - Wikipedia

Kujat has a long history of saying Ukraine can't win, wrong predicitions and being a russian shill to some degree. He praised russian bombing of syria for example.

He was called out and exposed for it many times in german media. One could say he has a price-tag on his Uniform ;)
 
Wagner back in Ukraine a sign that Russia running out of competent soldiers instead recruiting mercs to fill the void.

Well, in theory. Looking at Russia's performance in Ukraine it's likely they would get bogged down in Poland or even the Baltics. But they certainly had more troops, tanks and planes to be able to launch a broad offensive.
For example, their Su-27+ planes are broadly similar to the F-16 but they are shooting their own planes down lol.
