International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[Cid]

Soviet vehicle stockpiles are endless. Ukraine should give up.

I think it's safe to assume now that Ukraine's Palianytsia missile drone has a minimum range of 500km.

This is a dedicated munitions facility with concrete bunkers.

Highly unlikely Ukraines regular UAVs could do this.

Yes, on paper it is dedicated arsenal with more than 60 large warehouses for ammo etc stuff. Including underground storages and tunnels, bunkers etc. Also not just concrete bunkers...usually reinforced concrete panels with high strength and durability are used a lot...

While deliveries are done by convoys with a lot of trucks or/ and railway....

Explosions chain was beautiful : for this area seismic reaction was like approx 30 kT TNT not lesser....and this is more than Hiroshima with maybe 13-15 kT TNT workload.

Maybe ukr did had some informants with info when and where next batches will be delivered. ..

 

[SandisLL]

There is also one beautiful cinema level scene when Zelensky administration ensures smooth russian natural gas and crude oil transit. Take beer and popcorn portions for fun.
After this they are crying that Europe doesn't support them enough, I agree, after money crane will be OFF they will start to understand something.
Ukraine is supplying Hungary and Slovakia with russian export and are wondering why we can't do anything serious with Fico and Orban.
Isn't this cinema? Block 95 next film?

Russian telegram channel (in the past related to Wagner) has reported (with videos too) about Kursk this morning:


The enemy, having surrounded the settlement of Vesyoloye, is trying to develop its success in the direction of Glushkovo along the paved road, occupying forest belts with column attacks. FPV crews destroy and burn Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment, but only 3-4 out of 9 units make it.

The enemy has slowed down at Medvezhye due to unjustified losses of equipment and personnel, but continues to be in this settlement. Logistics in this area are difficult.

The enemy is expanding its bridgehead to the left flank.

Autumn is coming soon, it will rain, the enemy is setting up barriers and mining on the border.

Oh India you're not getting a present from Putin this year.

Exclusive: Ammunition from India enters Ukraine, raising Russian ire​

• Summary
• Companies
• European customers have been transferring Indian munitions to Ukraine
• Kyiv has dire shortage of artillery shells as it fights Russia
• Delhi and Moscow have warm relationship built on defence cooperation
• Despite Russian protests, India sees arms exports as commercial opportunity

NEW DELHI, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Artillery shells sold by Indian arms makers have been diverted by European customers to Ukraine and New Delhi has not intervened to stop the trade despite protests from Moscow, according to eleven Indian and European government and defence industry officials, as well as a Reuters analysis of commercially available customs data.
The transfer of munitions to support Ukraine's defence against Russia has occurred for more than a year, according to the sources and the customs data. Indian arms export regulations limit the use of weaponry to the declared purchaser, who risks future sales being terminated if unauthorised transfers occur.

There is nothing special. Modi in clear text had told that he will not tolerate nuclear weapons usage in Ukraine and doesn’t want to see India's citizens used in war in Ukraine. He told that India never will tolerate India's citizens usage in war in Ukraine.
India does have a lot of explosives and also thermonuclear weapons Kremlin loves to threat pussy west. Also India's total mobilization resources are at least 10 higher thar Russia might provide.

[SandisLL]

Europe really might found even 1,5 m shells yesterday but why? To see pro Kremlin oriented U.S ( doesn't matter dems or reps) looking on them like Kurdistan Times No2? They aren't idiots.

What kind of reaction anglo saxons had expressed before war 2022 th in Ukraine? To relocate embassy perssonel from Kiev and navy from Black Sea because they loves Putin damn a lot.
With fleet relocation russian friends had threw Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey under increasing threat ....and Biden in open text with clear intent multiple times had called full NATO members as " partners " and then Russia too was with partner status.
If Zelensky administration didn't had get reality that Biden's administration is more like Kissinger - Chamberlain type government loving Russia not lesser than Pump Donald...their problems.
While when Israel had problems, then aircraft carriers group had been installed ASAP.

 

[SandisLL]

Ofc also in real life with loud PR ukr too had created damn a lot of problems for Ukr.
Majority of decision makers aren't military persons or with military education or even real interest about military technique.
So they might see announcements and talks about new ballistic missile models Ukraine now might produce and easily might think: yes, beautiful, they does have such missiles and then why we need to supply more?

 

[SandisLL]

I have also big questions why Ukr Yermak - Zelensky administration isn't looked as Chamberlain - Kissinger type administration despite they are financially supporting Kremlin de facto and always had delayed to implement wartime economy or normal mobilization?
Excuses are for idiots but transit fees are more worth than guys bodies, isn't this reality?

If clown had closed valves and some other stuff immediately, Ukr might had get more support immediately and peace talks in March 2022 th.
Why not, then Ukr might had applied pressure damn a lot unlike today, sorry for reality.

 

[SandisLL]

Europe had seriously reduced natural gas consumption with technical solutions and this never ever will be possible to reverse.
More than this, now a lot of batches with crude oil and LNG supplies long term contracts are signed.
So some specimens had accidentally fall sessions from windows in Russia.

 

[SandisLL]

There are narratives spreaded by pro ukr propaganda like Ukraine might had been accepted in EU or NATO when they deFacto does have condition of War and active border disputes. Ofc this might had been sold to idiots living in dreams.

 

[SandisLL]

If about conscription IMHO ukr had failed a lot with refusal to conscript young guys.
This isn't just cos narrative about meat.
Soldiers needs training to be effective. Therefore not all conscripts might be used for frontline while it might reduce additional training time required if they should get used.
This is because average beginner in military is after in best case 6 months of training.
Or ...maybe very motivated volunteers ...not lesser.

 

[SandisLL]

I had to see even more sharp officers.
One from these had pro team selected from already pro soldiers who had applied for pro service. Colonel told that after 1 year in this unit these pros are beginners and this is pride not shame at all. To be fair this cocky colonel was able to spar for h2h.. without big problems.

 

[SandisLL]

There are also a lot of maybe real accusations against Yermak - Zelensky regime in Kiev, obviously pro Kremlin oriented entity in real life.

For example in one case Ukraine didn't had provided paramedic with weapons and when he get captured and exchanged he 23 months in row had been listed as disappearead in order not to pay him 1 single cent despite guy was injured. Cos on paper he had " disappeared " without traces. Kleptocracy till heaven.
Ofc guy didn't had full combat gear because he was M.D ordered to tackle medical stuff, LoL.
After this Zelensky- yermak administration might call doctor as traitor etc ....clowns.
Really take pop corn and beer to watch block 95 next series of cinema scenes...

 

[SandisLL]

On paper Ermak ( Yermak ) - Zelensky administration maybe according to PR does have ballistic missiles since 2019 th.
Then why they aren't used?
Think about reality and how pro Kremlin oriented is Zelensky administration in reality without words...

 

[SandisLL]

If about dreams about war without nukes in Ukraine today with conventional weapons Russia might loss ~1,5 m in coffins and at least 6 m bodies in hospitals during 6 months.Vs NATO. Maybe better time is to stop yell about nukes for idiots.
Warning time is lesser than one minute long before Finland had applied for full NATO membership. Ukraine here in this sense doesn't matters at all with 0 sense. Just for plebs in mass media.Plebs.

[SandisLL]

Toretsk stuff was approx >66 000 000 lbs of TNT worth blows cos seismic activity recorded by civilian stations.
It is considerably more than Hirosima 1945 th stuff. Special operation is going as had been planned and will be continued. Putin.
Due to smoke and odour & continued explosions governor had ordered to evacuate Toretsk city in russia.
