International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V8

[PEB]

That Zelensky is soooo dreamy!

I don't know what the hell that means they guy is acting like someone who gives a sh$t something Putin could give a sh$t less.

The pentagon was estimating 80k casualties. Casualties doesn’t mean dead, it means dead or wounded. Of that they were estimating 15-20k dead. They might be wrong on the numbers, but they aren’t lying about them. That’s their best estimate.

Those numbers could be real given the scale and type of war that’s playing out. If it is true then yes Russia would have had to have significantly plussed up their numbers. I believe the estimate of the initial invasion was around 300k, and 80k taken out of action would not be sustainable.

Not forgetting that it also includes pows, deserters and soldiers who are for one reason or another unfit for duty, mental breakdown for example.

 

[SandisLL]

Anyway Russia is exposed as weak military...heavily overrated are their weapons and rulers.

Yeah.
Despite so huge advantages on paper, they suck and a lot of their highly touted weapons appeared that does sucks even vs museum exponats produced before 1992 th in USSR...not alone vs old NATO weapons....

Russia's military appeared that was most overrated military in world and a lot of their highly touted modern weapons sucked heavily.......

Only one thing keeping Russia going is sad reality: they does have damn a lot of weapons and ammo...
Ofc to manufacture new Kalibr and Kinzal missiles ( both btw looks that are overrated too) they can't in fast mode....
While artillery shells and missiles for Grad, Smerch, Thocka and Uragan launchers they does have damn a lot, accumulated since USSR era + ammo for mortars too....

Russia allegedly claims the suspect in the car bombing is "Natalya Vovk", a member of Azov regiment, who left her ID card and fled to Estonia.

Only missing a framed picture of Bandera and Yarosh's business card.

Where'd you get the 300k from?

Most sources I've found repeat the same 140k ground forces. + 50 k donbas regions militia ( Wagner etc)

 

[AWilder]

Not a good look, that's for certain.

Yeah Israel really suffers with the aid everytime they slaughter Palestinians. This wouldn't mean anything if Ukraine did it, imo. She was no innocent and she and her father were beating the drums of Ukrainian conquest for a decade +

Seems off and convent how she was able to drive into Russia without question yet we have seen people denied access to other Countries with Russian Federation on their Passport. Something smells who knows but that is not Ukraine's President's MO to conduct political assassinations that's usually in the realm of the FSB. Given the possibility that people are already becoming sour to the Ukraine "special operation" it would be a good time to create a false flag to create more support for the conflict. But yeah I am just spreading propaganda

 

[MTT]

Don't be a psycho, nobody wishes that were true.

Of Ukrainian kia? Released by Ukraine? Sure.

Ukraine's military chief General Valerii Zaluzhnyi said today Ukraine has lost 9,000 men. It's difficult to "cover up" 30,000 dead. Even if that number is lowball, as the defending force, they have almost certainly lost less than Russia. The U.N. estimates 5,587 civilians killed.

Why would Russians turn away someone with a Russian passport? Makes sense for Romania and such. Although I believe it was Ukrainian border guys turning em back. With the fuck off Russian warship stamp.

Why would Russia do that?

Why thank you kind sir. First time they've put a number to it. Surely the civilian toll is on the low side as well. I was sadly expecting far more.

Without a doubt Russia has lost more troops.. ( well it's far more likely anyhow )

Was someone claiming 30k? That seems... high

The fsb cant crack years old political murders but cracked this one in two days

Other Countries have been refusing Russians entering their country. It seems a little odd that everything she did entering the Country seems to have been conveniently recorded.

Don't get me wrong . I don't believe this woman did it. I just do not find it surprising that someone with a Russian passport got into Russia lol

Question how is she able to enter into Russia without so much as a question about her entry with or without a Russian Passport. This is the thing anything happening should be questioned I would question anyone entering a Country especially anywhere near the conflict area even with a Russian Passport it seems to me she should have been put on a list given they where already able to identify her so quickly.

 

[PEB]

Thank you for pointing all this out because the FUD is running wild.

 

[GhostZ06]

I thought you were going to show me the equipment and kia? Not just share a link that's irrelevant then pull out 43 000 without a source....



Zelensky however, refused to reveal Ukraine's total military losses since the war started on February 24, but said they were several times lower than Russia's.

This is your source of Ukraine being open about their kia?

Lol you two are hilarious

its like your unable to use google. But you got angry about using Credible sources. Your basically a hilarious joke that spends more time crying then researching. I've done plenty of posting of quality links an sources, stop crying already bro.

 

[Denter]

Still a lot of back and forth. Russia giving up some ground in the East and Ukraine making some gains. Right now, the big story is what in the world is going on in that nuclear plant. If it goes Chernobyl, that's bad news all around.

My guess is that Ukraine will make a push to regain territory and then shore up defenses for the Winter.

All of this is just my rough take from what I've seen so far.

Yeah none of us really know the true score but this is my sense as well. Whether that offensive succeeds or fails remains to be seen.

 

[Denter]

It can't go Chernobyl because they doesn't have graphite moderated pressutized channels reactors....

Chernobyl type reactor is pressurized channels reactor with graphite as moderator and water as coolant.Working with low enriched uranium.
With " nice " con: when you insert control rods....initially reactor will be ...more " hot " for some period.
Therefore you need to increase coolant flow in reactor ....not too late ....

Old type graphite channel type reactors worked on unenriched natural uranium for plutonium production because to use unenriched uranium is cheaper ! and it provides more opportunities to get good quality weapons grade plutonium...
Elite WGP always is made from natural grade or depleted uranium...
Plutonium production reactors were x more safe than such design power reactors.
And still Kurchatov had placed in all areas note: apparatus should be always provided with sufficient water supply!
____
Zaporozia doesn't have RMBK type reactor, they does have PWR type reactors and these does have negative void coef....

Highest danger IMHO might be if they will not provide enough water supply for spent fuel basins....
If these basins will be dry...hot spent fuel rods might melt and we might get something like Fukushima...

Cos these reactors doesn't use graphite...it is good thing...

Chernobyl was cos steam damaged fuel rods, channels and graphite blocks....
Highly radioactive graphite dust and melted nuclear fuel rod's dust together with steam ....had created all this ....waste in all world....
Graphite is terrible cos accumumulates a lot of radioactivity and...this stuff easily might gave macroscopic and microscopic dust in very huge ammounts....

I didn't know that about those reactors.

 

[Denter]

as of 6 days ago its been about 43,000

Wow that does sound pretty accurate.
