Russia/Ukraine Megathread V6

[A Very Serious Cat]

Why do you guys keep posting the same exact pictures for over a week?

Read the image: situation 23 March and it shows significant territory changes. Hardly the same image. Some people are interested in an accurate idea of what's going on and not just reposting keiv independent puff pieces

 

[The Diplomat]

So 90% of the news sources are Ukrainian/Pro Ukrainian.

What about the Russian perspective?

The Russian perspective has been stifled, probably because historically, the Russian perspective is filled with lies. They still refuse to accept responsibility for arming the shooters of the Malaysian commercial airline, when multiple nations have evidence.

Also, I think they're doing a bad job of getting it out there. And when it is out there it's buried next to a video of more shelling.

What is the Russian perspective? Unless it's "No to War", then it's kinda meaningless.

Whoever produces those maps. I say claimed because I don't know if it's really true or not but I remember southfront.org being used a lot during the Syrian war and being reliable then so I tend to believe them here

War journalists on-site are claiming that around 70% of residential areas are cleansed of Ukrainian Armed forces, yes.

The Russian perspective of events is useful as the truth will likely fall between the Russian and Ukrainian official claims

Slava Z on telegram is straight Russian propaganda if that’s what you are looking for.

Have you ever deployed in a forward area?

Great great movie

"May have?"

C'mon man, you know how that went. Russia kept amassing troops on the Georgian border. They gave little jabs, did everything possible to coax the slightest response.

I gave this analogy before, but it's akin to a bully cornering a smaller kid and flexing on him, jumping at him, etc just to make him flinch. And when the smaller kid feebly puts his hand out to get a little space between the two and touches the bully, he responds by pummeling the kid into the dirt and crippling him. And then saying "He touched me first, self defense!"

Not really.....so far they have proven false. Most of the chinese weapons have been hype with little to no proof.

They're skills nuclear and metallurgy are pretty bad hints why they canceled they're nuclear carrier program. Also we are seeing first hand in the conflict the quality of Chinese made equipment in this war. Theyre tires are absolutely horrid(russian wheeled vehicles are using Chinese rubber), and they're radios and communications equipment is pretty bad, and when i mean bad, they don't work.

Well, I suspect that China most likely uses for their nukes better quality metallurgy than for mainstream production.

My business is to sell construction (building ) materials and equipment, tools. I had to work with some stuff before I was manager in sales business, later co owner in L L C type business.
Mainstream production from china is peace of s****, if we are talking about tools, like from Russia too. Best things I had used with my hands were manufactured in USSR, Switzerland, Germany and U.S

Another great (audio)visual investigation from NYT. Did Buran make it home?



and a twitter thread worth a read about making it.

At least they had proved that they are able to make thermonuclear weapons; it is proven.
Next: China in 1990 ies had stopped to use their plutonium production reactors.
Most likely cos expenses to handle huge ammount of plutonium they already had.
China also had detonated thermonuclear weapons with state of art 'dry' design in 1960 ies, thing France and U.K achieved only in 1970 ies......

It's not ies. It's 0's.

Is there any language in the contracts that stipulate what currency is to be used for payment? Who will determine the exchange rate if Russia pays in rubles?

Im not sure Putin has thought this one through?

Eastern Euros are xenophobes.

are you intentionally lying or what man? From 2 days ago. Show me the significant gains made, please? And that site looks like a fringe alt right ran website asking for donations on every page.

Amen

The US intelligence claims fall between those two claims and Putin's white knights still refute that.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Well yeah, from the West POV it's looking terrible for Russia. However, we getting the information they want us to get. As an example RT is no longer a channel you'd be able to tune into to get any form of Information from.
I got some gaming pals in Serbia, they get different news to me.

Are you saying you miss Russian propaganda but get it anyway through some pals?

Look at the yellow areas, they indicate recent gains/losses. I'm not trying to convince you of anything, if you don't want to believe it then whatever. I don't 100% believe it myself but it is one tool

Agreed. But are we talking "Russian" perspective as the differing populous, or the official state word?
