International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

Reader mode
ISW, 31 July 2025

The People's Republic of China (PRC) is a decisive enabler of devastating long-range Russian strikes against the Ukrainian rear.

A Russian milblogger claimed on July 30 that Russian forces launched up to 200 Geran-2 drones (the Russian iteration of the Iranian Shahed-136 drone) and Garpiya-A1 kamikaze drones (reportedly another Shahed drone variant that Russia produces with primarily PRC-produced components) in the strike against Kyiv City. Reuters recently reported that PRC companies deliberately falsely label drone engines shipped to Russia for use in Garpiya drones as "industrial refrigeration units" to hide their actual military purpose, and Russia also uses PRC components in other Shahed-type drones, including a decoy and reconnaissance variant. ISW has observed reports indicating that Russian defense manufacturer Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol increased its annual production of Garpiya-A1 drones from 2,000 to over 6,000, largely due to a steady supply of PRC-made L550E engines. The PRC is an indispensable supplier for the broader Russian drone industry, as ISW has routinely assessed. Russia will continue relying heavily on the PRC to support the expansion of its long-range strike capabilities and may incorporate more Garpiya drones in strike packages in the coming weeks and months as Russia seeks to conduct regular strikes consisting of up to 2,000 drones, likely by November 2025.

Nice mental gymnastics though, it was at least entertaining.

Talking to that idiot @DEVILsSON is like talking to a brick wall.
...actually, a brick wall would better understand the point you are trying to make.
Many of the folks in this thread will soon have one of those "come-to-Jesus" moment where they will finally realize Ukraine has lost this conflict.
For now, they are all living in denial. A country that is invaded can never lose a war! No sir!

This reminds me of the American Civil War where the South (Confederacy) tried to secede from the North (Union) but failed after 4 years.
The Confederacy had every right to secede from the Union at that time, but the Union would not have it. A war was fought. The South lost and were forced to stay joined with the Union (North). The rest, as they say, is history. Time for Ukraine to rejoin the "motherland."

Good god, you're so out of touch you accused Koya in the Gaza thread of being an Israeli apologist while beefing with yet another poster. You went full on 'Sam I Am retard' in this thread three years ago and it seems there's no coming back for you...

I didn't know Ukraine has been a part of Russia for the past thirty years and desperately wants to keep the slavery going....the things you find out from San Marino.....
 
San Marino said:
I know that. That is not the point.
It does not mean Russia will support Ukraine joining NATO as much as the US did not support Soviet missiles in Cuba, also a sovereign state.

I'm telling you. He is a paid troll, deflects everything. But as you can see this thread is going because of that.

Of course he missed the part where Putin said whatever they decide will not overshadow their relations.

Well, it undermines your leaders claim that Ukraine is part of russia. I thought that would be pretty obvious.

He had worked for small special operation. Criminal court of Russian Federation had found him guilty for murder in group after previous agreement with intent to get more $.
Denys had killed 2 ethnic russians in Russia and had been suspected that he maybe might had killed even more: maybe plus 1 young female ethnic russian and plus 1 male ( not specified ).
 
A large-scale protest has broken out in the western Ukrainian city of Vinnitsa amid growing public outrage over the country’s military mobilization practices. Tensions escalated late Friday after reports emerged that around 100 men were forcibly taken by draft officers to Lokomotiv Stadium for conscription processing.
 
Russia claims to have captured 7 settlements across Donetsk, Zaporozhye, and Dnipropetrovsk in 1 week. The Defense Ministry reports over 8,900 Ukrainian casualties and multiple strikes on military-industrial sites. Drone and precision weapon attacks targeted UAV factories, ammo depots, and troop positions. Ukraine denies Russian presence in some contested areas, while Moscow pushes for more territorial gains.
