For a long time now russian females are also part of the "SMO". Multiple recent stories became concerning in the russian social media space as a lot of these women are hired by a certain soldier to marry another X soldier. First dude than shoots soldier X and the army gives a special "very nice" money prize to the woman of the fallen X soldier. (They have it in the law) Money is than split between the first guy (killer) and the woman.

What we have learned is two things.

Russians can't fight worth a damn.

If Biden had given Ukraine the good stuff early on this would already be over and Russia whipped.

From one point you are correct.

For example most likely IF Ukr had been supplied better , then most likely today there were talks with real situation like this: Russia does control Crimea and maybe 50-60% of Donetsk oblastj and approx 60-70% of Luhansk oblastj...


While Ukr can't blame just others.
Lurking for weapons and ammo officials from Ykr in europe talking " you will be next ". Such phrases induces decisions not to deplete actual stockpiles...

Then to blame about all just Biden too is ....
2022 th they had period when they might get Lend Lease. Without big problems.
Ofc there might had been later additional aid under PDA and most likely also some other bills on top.

Lend Lease btw had induced more interest rather than mythical minerals deals about something later...

2022 th.
abdirstantovich: russia soon will run out of missiles stockpiles, we do not need lend lease...

So Biden had been forced to go xx times in row to ask Congress and Senate to allow this or this...

Now abdirstantowich is teaching ppl how to think, earning money as blogger and dreaming to be Ukr president.....

Guy who told that you will see our offensive...
In the same time I had posted that with such supplies IF lucky maybe is possible to hold frontline. IF lucky one.

Now he is teaching about school of thinking, claiming that he is commisioned officer with huge experience and.. looks that wants to be next Ukr president.

 

[SandisLL]

Russia's main stratrgic goal in this war episode is to force Ukr to recognize in U.N Crimea, Kherson, Zaporozia, Donetsk and Luhansk oblastj for U.N as De Iure part of Russian Federation.

This is during more than year openly declared target. ( ofc till next war ).
Ofc there are xxxx other demands they will press to sign..to be more comfortable in next war in Ukraine...q

They are telling Pump administration stuff they does want to hear and de facto continuing everything like there is october 2024 th on the ground in Ukr.
More land = better.

Guys doesn't think that morgage developers and projects sellers are not peer level opponents for specially educated high level KGB officers....

There are ofc also things like bonuses for agitators if they will get someone who will sign pro contract and will get sent to dumbass area.

Months ago already were 100 000 RUB for 1.
Now maybe more.
All you should do is to get someone who will sign pro contract and paper that he is happy with small special operation to liberate ...

Such stuff btw looks that is official thing..

24 March 2025.
The conversation delves into the current state of the battlefield in Ukraine, discussing the stabilization of front lines, the strategic movements of Russian forces, and the implications for Western nations, particularly the U.S. and EU, in response to potential escalations in the conflict. The speakers analyze the ongoing military strategies employed by both sides and the challenges faced in predicting future developments.

. Things seem to have maybe stabilized in the battlefield.
. Ukrainians have sent many reserves to hold territory.
. Zelensky's hold on territory is important for morale.
. Russians are finding it easier to advance in certain areas.
. The Russians play a slow game to minimize casualties.
. Major offensives by Russians are costly and risky.
. The timing of future Russian offensives is uncertain.
. Western nations will face challenges in responding to escalations.
. The Trump administration may struggle with public perception regarding Ukraine.
. The situation remains fluid and unpredictable.

Just a reminder where casualties are coming from.

Ukrainian commander said few weeks back that 70 percent of casualties come from drones, from 22 to 24 it was from artillery


Russians released casualty graph saying same thing, about 5k wounded 70 oercent from drones, 20 from arty

Only 4 percent from firearms



Most guys dont even see the enemy befire getting hit, some volunteer on ukr foreign legion forum said he had fired his rifle twice in 2024 while still being regularly on frontline.

Can almost throw rifle in to garbage

Maybe the infantry could just leave and let the artillery and drones get on with it.

Probably will head towards it at some point

Good news for infantry guys.

 

[Badr Hari]

But that won't work when you try to gain new territory. Infantry is what ultimately steps into new ground.

Although, peb a few days ago posted a reportage here about some ukrainian researchers building ground drones, basically very effective "unmanned infantry".

True.
I talked about this before.
Someone is going to be making a lot of money in creating "Hunter/Killer" drones in the near future to shoot down other drones.
I'm also surprised to see how both sides use very little concealment through smoke grenades.
Also, a converted use of AWACS planes with laser capability to shoot down these drones.

Maybe the Infantry could just leave and let the Artillery and drones get on with it.

What would the Artillery be shooting at?
How else is Russia going to control Ukrainian territory or vice versa?

A primitive method would be to train falcons to go after drones. Not sure about how the blades of the drone would affect the falcon grabbing it and throwing it on the ground. Just an idea.

Solutions to win: Ukraine unveils updated summer uniform for women in the military

The Ministry of Defense presented a model of a summer field suit for servicewomen, Rubryka reports. What is the problem? Today, there are almost 42,000 military servicewomen in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Nearly five thousand are on the front line, where they perform combat tasks on...

The camouflage pattern looks like what the US Marines were using a few years back.
Women never fitted well in men's uniform in the US Army. They now have their own uniform.

When you run out of APC's...




It was a bad day to film Russian propaganda.

 

[San Marino]

The dreaded moment no soldier wants to face. -- Footage shows the dramatic moment a British fighter in the war sees heavily armed Russian troops approaching and threatens: “I’m gonna ****ing shoot them.” But James Anderson, 22, is told in his woodland hideaway: “Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! No more!" He and his fellow Ukrainian fighters are overwhelmed by Russian troops grabbing back territory in Kursk region. Footage from November 2024.

Tesla the real Tesla not the dude tearing apart our Country predicted autonomous drone ships.

"
In 1898 famed inventor Nikola Tela unveiled a new development which he believed would transform war: a radio-controlled boat which would allow small powers to fight off larger ones.


“War will cease to be possible when all the world knows to-morrow that the most feeble of the nations can supply itself immediately with a weapon which will render its coast secure and its ports impregnable to the assaults of the united armadas of the world,” Tesla declared. “Battleships will cease to be built, and the mightiest armorclads and the most tremendous artillery afloat will be of no more use than so much scrap iron.”

Liberals!
That dude would be called Musk. A hero at one time for providing Ukraine with Starlink now turned into a villain.
Musk is cleaning up corruption in the US and saving taxpayers billions.
So, the idea of a corrupt United States is what you are advocating?
That is why you lost the last election and will lose the next election.
