International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

Reader mode
I feel that Putin wants war all 2026 th.

Deserteurs still usually are sent back to units.
A lot of exchanged POVs are sent back to continue special operation.

While they are telling rump that wants only luhansk and donetsk oblastj, in reality they continue to send troops everywhere where they can move forward...even if they might get just next 100 meters ...
Sumy, Harkov, Donetsk, Zaporozia and Kherson oblastj.
 
Most pathetic are russians living in western countries, often pretending in forums that they aren't russians...
They doesn't donate money for loved matushka, are sitting in puffy western cubicles in comfort and actually aren't willing to spend even 1 cent for matushka....
However to sit behind keyboard and love putin is easier if they doesn't live in matuhska.
Ofc they will donate 0 cent for reconstruction too. For them happiness is that all expenses will be on plebs living in russia... they so much loves matushka ...a lot of russians in russia actually hates such ppl.
 
Plus if they knew what stuff russian nationalists in russia are thinking about them.
Not as about oppressed somewhere ...
Traitors = becuase relocated from russia.
Weaklings = because didn't had relocated back to russia..
Money hungry parasites = because doesn't donate for matushka....
Not our ppl = because prefers to use western lifestyle in west.

Russian nationalists and patriots does have a lot of channels where about such ppl a lot of " nice " things are discussed. Especially if closed chats groups....

I strongly believe Russia will be the first party to be unable to continue, eventually being forced to accept a frozen conflict without appeasement, and with Europe giving security guarantees to UkUkraine.

You would be wrong.
Russia can easily carry this conflict for as long as it needs to. Ukraine cannot. Russia (Soviets) usually defeat their enemy in the dead of winter.

Obdirsnik really can't help them, just for PR..
It is Gorbachev era missile presented by propaganda as new weapon ... cos for public should be created in Putin's era.

However in order to smash transformators they are using iranian drones and cruise missiles. They are cheaper and considerably more precise than obdishnik.
 
To make underground natural gas storage unusable they doesn't need wunderwaffe.
Enough might be to smash substations feeding compressors and regulators stations with electricity.
Maybe also to hit reduction stations...
All this is doable by some cruise missile with 250-500 kg warhead.

However for this they need a lot of such missiles because storage usually uses some 50- 130 compressors and dozens of regulation stations.
 
Why ukr uses cheap slow drones to hit refineries?

Because a lot of radars are set to ignore small low flying objects in order to reduce false alerts cos birds.

So for them in such case Mi 8 helicopter flying in 100 m altitude will trigger alert ..cos it is like mountain vs mice if compare radar refl cross section.
Cruise missile flying in 10 m altitude will trigger alert..... cos object speed is like subsonic cruise missiles does have.

Small slow garbage flying with speed slower than helicopters usually are using is different game. Plus for small slow garbage might be used cheap plastic etc...not aluminium alloys frame like helicopters does have.....
Cheaper and lesser eff radar cross section.
Plus for slow crap manufacturing might be done in improvised workshops....with helicopter manufacturing it isn't possible..
 
With helicopters is fun that they does generate a lot of heat signature.... the more power engine does have, the more heat it exaust.

There long ago are systems reducing heat signature but it is like gas mask for helicopter, speed and agility dramatically reduces, also lesser payload might be taken etc.


For IR guided threats helicopters does have 2 protection tools : jamming stations ( but these exposes helicopter too ) and flares. Number of containers with flares is limited ofc.
Also the more modern is MANPAD the more difficult is fool it with flares.

Against radar guided missiles jammers and chaffs might be used.... however number of chaffs containers too is limited ofc...


Laser warning devices too are used however then vs laser guided missiles mainly might help only helicopters agility and with " gas mask " helicopter isn't agile.

For the U.S., losing even ONE General is a tragedy and will be an area of concern. To lose NINETEEN Generals is nothing but an abject failure.

The only difference between a Russian general and a Russian conscript is that a general is slightly less stupid to have lived long enough to become a general.

I was told this by a Colonel who was escorting a Russian General around during a visit to one of our bases in the U.S. back in the day...

The Col. was showing them a class that was learning about education, innovation, leadership, etc.. The General said "How could you waste money on lower enlisted?!? They should just focus on their duties and nothing else!"

The Col. replied "That's how we won the cold war. We invested in our PEOPLE and sought to raise them up. You only saw them as means to and end and your outdated military doctrine wound up ending YOU."

...and yet, Russia defeated France - Napolean's Army, and the Communists defeated Nazi Germany. Yeah! They are incompetent indeed.

Why hasn't Russia leveled Kiev?
 
While Russia's economy has shown surprising resilience, defying early collapse predictions, it's facing significant challenges like slowing growth, falling oil revenues, increased military spending pressure, and potential budget issues, with some experts warning of a potential banking crisis or recession in 2026, indicating a difficult, stagnant future rather than immediate collapse, mortgaging its long-term prospects.

Why It Hasn't Collapsed:
  • War Economy Adaptation: High military spending created growth, absorbing labor and boosting some sectors.
  • Energy Revenue: High energy prices initially helped, though this is now a weaker buffer.
  • Import Substitution & Reconfiguration: Russia successfully rerouted trade and found new supply chains.
  • Financial System Stability: Early aggressive central bank actions prevented immediate financial panic.
