Leopard

Ukraine is overhyping leopard, something that was built on the structure of T-80😎. That thing will lose to any T-90 but T-90s are scarce at the front. I heard Russia is planning to deploy Marker UGVs, Kornets, a few Armatas and more T-90s to counter the new threat. Again, it will not save ukraine from her impending Military predicament.

another Lori lo story, the new Biden package has HiMARS missiles, same HiMARS that killed 600 recruits of Russia in military barrack recently. too much propaganda. Biden has approved atacms. who knows una next propaganda will be.

🤣🤣🤣 Well the strike was due to the disobedience the troops exhibited, they used phones. HIMARS doesn't have any ability to tilt the balance of the war again, that's what I meant not that it's useless. Like a WW1 cannon is obsolete right? So why not stand in front of it barrel when the system ignited. Anything pro-russian is propaganda but anything pro-Ukraine is true. That's how ukraine claimed to shoot down 24 Su-35 and you guys were/are parroting the claim despite the fact that there's only proof for 1 crashed Su-35. Make una dey use ya brain.

The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System supplied to ukraine by the US at late July was termed a game changer in the war. Dozens of ammunition depots were blown up by the system. Ukrainian and American experts made claims that it could not be shot down by Russian Air defenses; however as time went the Russians started adapting to the system. How Russia adapted to HIMARS:
1. Moving her critical Military sites out of the range of the system. HIMARS has a range of 70-80km and it isn't a big task moving critical sites 80-90km away from the Frontline. This gave Russia time to upgrade her air defenses.
2. Shortening the supply lines.
Stupid as it may sound, in wars it makes sense to take strategic decisions that will affect the outcome of the war instead of a battle of a few hundred square kilometers. Ukraine used HIMARS to attack Russian supply lines in the Kherson region at a pace Russia couldn't suddenly adapt to. Russia pulled back from Kherson in November, shortening the supply lines and saving the lives of thousands of Russian soldiers at the risk of capture. It was a propaganda win for ukraine as during her attempts to retake the city by force her causalities were 6× that of the defending Russians but a strategic win for Moscow.
3. Upgrading her air defenses
Call it propaganda if you like it, but the truth is that Russia has modified her Pantsir—S1 ADS to shoot down HIMARS rockets. It's cheap because it occasionally uses missiles instead it uses anti-aircraft guns. A proof of this modification is the retreat of Russians from Kherson. During the retreat, the AFU launched at least 25 HIMARS rockets at the Russians retreating on pontoons and the Antonovosky bridge. All the missile was neutralized, Five were deflected by Russian EW and GPS spoofing systems while more than 20 were shot down, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. We don't know how much of this true but the fact that HIMARS couldn't halt the retreat of 25000 Russian on a BRIDGE, is not a good name for the Wunderwaffe system.
4. Combined defense
Russia now uses a union of ADS and Electronic warfare system to defend her Military sites. This method has proven effective.
5. Destruction of HIMAR systems and rockets.
This principle has partially worked, some launchers were destroyed while most remain intact, the use of loitering munitions has reduced Kyiv's ability to use the system at will.
So now HIMARS is not as effective as before and has followed the trajectory of the Bayraktars, which system would replace it. Meet the Ground launched Small Diameter Bomb(GLSDB)
Specifications of the GLSDB:
Speed: Not clear but the from the speed of the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb from which the GLSDB is developed, it has a speed of 48km/hr — 80km/hr
Guidance system: GPS supported by INS
Decoy system: 0
Operational Range: 150km
Launch platform: M270 and M142 HIMARS
Engine: M26 Rocket motor
Accuracy: 1m CEP
Analysis 📌📌
1. The GLSDB will give ukraine the ability to strike deep behind Russian lines, strikes in Crimea are not out of the board.
2. The system is slower that the HIMARS M31 rockets, its more vulnerable to Russian Air defenses.
3. It would enter service with the ukrainian army in the next 9 months so, there's low possibility of shifting the balance of the war for now.
4. It follows a cruise trajectory unlike HIMARS hence increasing it's vulnerability to Buk and PANTSIR systems which are all over the battlefield.
Conclusions 📌📌
The GLSDB is a formidable foe to Russia ADS, it would not change the course of the war or save Kyiv from her inevitable Military predicament just like HIMARS and Bayraktar. Despite suffering very heavy losses on Western papers, the Russian army is preparing for a massive offensive this December. They will use paper planes for air support because ukraine has shot down ALL her Airforce. They will use rubber tanks for tank support because Javelins destroyed all their tanks. 👈👈 Is what Westerners think because that's what they expect. In reality we may see the T-14 Armata in combat this year!

These "superpowers" want us to die fit them but can't kill themselves. 🤣🤣I pity Ukrainians that are being decieved into thinking they can win this war.

A detachment of warships of the Northern Fleet led by the frigate Admiral Gorshkov rescued a French citizen from a yacht in distress in the Atlantic Ocean

The crew of the medium tanker "Kama" from the squadron of warships of the Northern Fleet, performing the tasks of a long-distance campaign in the central Atlantic Ocean, received an emergency signal from a yacht in distress. To assist the crew, the tanker "Kama" deviated from the route and headed to the area of the accident.

An inspection team was landed on the yacht, which took one person with personal belongings and his dog on board the Russian tanker.

A French citizen Lucas Monteu, who was making a solo voyage in the Atlantic, was rescued. During a storm, the steering device on the yacht failed and water began to flow. After an unsuccessful attempt to fix the malfunction, he gave a distress signal.

On board the tanker "Kama", the rescued traveler received first aid. At his request, he will be delivered to the nearest port.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Nikolay Evmenov, thanked the marching headquarters of the detachment of warships of the Northern Fleet and the crew of the tanker "Kama" for their professional actions in providing assistance to a yacht in distress in the open ocean.

An Independent country is being invaded and destroyed and its yound men, women and children are being killed by soldiers of its neighbouring country because they have a power hungry and drunk president who only has daughters and non of hia children are in the army. Those of us supporting this aggression and blood shed is because of hate for USA or the West. I pray Comeroon will not do what Russia is doing Ukraine to Nigeria or any of our neighbours.

Abeg make Cameroon do it. Voting on accession to Nigeria is loading.

��� The US has moved hundreds of pieces of military equipment to Europe, including Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and Abrams tanks.

Around 1,250 pieces of equipment are being delivered by ship to the Netherlands. From there they will be sent to Eastern Europe. In particular, to Lithuania and Poland for strengthening of "the eastern flank of NATO".

In addition, the US earlier announced a massive military aid package for Ukraine, which included, among other things, 50 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and 18 self-propelled howitzers. Training for Ukrainian servicemen to operate the BMPs will start soon in Germany.���

Thanks bro for the informing thread but can you please increase the frequency of posting? Maybe 2/day.

A lot less corruption than Russia where equipment is just bought on paper. Not to mention the fact that China has a MUCH larger defence budget and don’t have to waste their money on vanity nukes.

Imagine having to explain something this basic to you. I should charge you lackwits for this free education.

Where in Russia is equipment bought on paper? You guys are talking as if the war is over, well it isn't and sorry, ukraine is losing. They've lost thousands of men and I am sure their losses are much more than Russia's.

texazzpete:
Nope. But it's halted the Russian army in their tracks and destroyed their reputation as the 'second strongest army'

China would crush Russia like a bug if it ever came to a fight.

I no blame you, do you remember the Korea war? When poorly equipped Chinese forces stopped the US from accomplishing her goal of annexing North Korea into the South? Did it stop the US from being a super power? What of Vietnam? What of Afghanistan. Defeat doesn't destroy an army, it strengthens it. Mind you, the war is not yet over. In the South, Russia has pushed ukraine to the Dniepr river in the East, Russia has taken the entire Luhansk oblast and 60% of donetsk when the mobilized hits the front en masse after training that should be around summer, the goals of the operation would be accomplished.

Yeye pro-NATO no-go comment here. ;DViva Russia

One thing that's a black hole in uncle Sam's muscles is the funding of hundreds of foreigners bases. Compare Russian weapons like Su-35 to F-16 in terms of cost.

obedience4:
Lol, the old Soviet SAM'S like the s300 is what is driving the Russian pilots from Ukrainian skies.
More than 11 months, Russian can't get air superiority over Ukrainian airspace.
Of all the military branches of the Russian military, the Russian air force as been the most disappointing in this war, very overrated piece of shit.
Seriously when I heard the news that Russia has invaded Ukraine, what that the Russian air force would First attack air defence sites and Ukraine early warning sites ,before sending the infantry ground forces... Instead Russian military planners thought this was ww2 by Moving Large Numbers of tanks and supporting armoury all cluster together without air cover..
Disgraceful a .. Something a recent graduate from the USA military school west point would not make

You are very funny. Russia took out many long range radar systems ukraine had at the beginning of the war. Ukraines has lost 21 SAMs now. The invention of mobile SAM systems revolutionized warfare. How many SEAD mission did the US fly in Vietnam? How many did they fly in Yugoslavia? When US made the mistake of flying strategic bombers over Vietnam during Linebacker II we know what happened. With mobile SAMS it becomes very difficult to destroy enemy SAMs especially when the enemy knows you are coming. The reason ukraine was able to stage the kharkov offensive was that Russia was very low on troops, the bulk of their combat capable boots were deployed to Kherson and Donbass. Before condemning the Russian Airforce, remember that it's the Airforce that staged very risky operations. During the Zaporozhye and Donbass offensive, these guys were flying 100-200 sorties per day. Remember how they took hostomel. Intotal they have flown 6000 sorties for very low losses. I think the losses in both helicopters and jets total 115. Out of that number only 100 were lost in active combat

obedience4:
Stop pampering Russia air force inability to take air superiority over Ukraine airspace.
The manpads, you mention are mostly use against low flying aircraft e.g helicopters,
Russia bombers like the Tupolev can't be hit by a missile from a manpads, missiles defence systems like the s300 Suface to air missile SAM's is what is scaring Russian pilot's.
Is a pity seeing the Russians performing badly in Ukraine, is a shame that the Russians can't take out Ukrainian missiles defence sites during the early stages of the war
Instead Putin choose to send tank's and trucks in large convey without air cover they became easy prey for Ukrainians to destroy.

I don't support failure and I condemn RF forces when the need arises. Russian Su-35 and Su-30 have won every air battle Russia has engaged in. IDK what you mean by air superiority, Russia has taken out 50%of ukrainian energy systems. Despite flying several SEADS in Vietnam we know the kind of losses USA suffered during Linebacker II

obedience4:
Have you not heard that for you to carpet bomb a country, you have to have gotten air supremacy over the airspace..
funny guy, it is no longer NeWS that even after almost ten months of the war, the Ukrainian airspace is till disputed, a shame for a country that calls itself a world power
Russian bombers have been firing from deep inside Russian territory and also from the black sea,..
If a Russian bomber strays into Ukraine.. It a gonna.

No one can have air superiority over MANPADS. Although Russia still dominates the sky.

Happy new year first.
Please how do Assad Control 2/3 of Syria, I would need you do some research..
Why didn't Russia use is might and reclaimed all Syria from rebel's
Please the us base had missiles defence, it was simply overwhelmed by the sheer volume of missiles the Iranian fired, go read the report of the attack on Google.
Israel doesn't need to bomb Iran, systematically killing its nuclear scientists, and hacking it system is enough.

1. Check the screenshots below. Argue with Google
2. The goal in Syria was to stop ISIS. The force in Syria now cannot even stage a decisive offensive, Russia came to Syria because of Iran. Iran didn't want to have another Democracy on her borders and the rebels lack the firepower to change the Assad regime so the mission is accomplished. If Russia leaves Syria today, I know what will happen.
3. Hacking and assassination is not enough to stop the programme. Iran is nearing the break out tine. Thanks to ukraine war, Iran is now closer to Russia and you know that if Russia wants Iran to get nukes this year, it's a walkover. Even by Iranian law, production of nukes is Haram.
4. So a dozen missiles overwhelmed Almighty patriot? At a time when Iran has been sanctioned for years, Iran can still overwhelm us ADS.

Akuruoulo:
U sabi talk shit no be small.
Something the announced before doing. Even at retaliation for the death of their former general.
Dead brain isn't enough to justify this reasoning

Since it doesn't matter, take a rocket and fire it at ECOWAS base in Gambia. Someone fired a dozen rockets at the US flag culminating in to the largest ballistic attack against the Americans and you couldn't do a thing in return.

obedience4:
Funny.. This has to be a top contender for best funny comment of the year..
I wonder what weapons Russia plant in Syria, yet Assad can't crush a rebels holding is country for a civil war that's more than a decade, I wonder What weapons you are talking about? When Assad doesn't Control 60% of his control..
Which Iran, are you taking about, is it the Iran that's been whipped by tiny Israel, or the Iran whose general was taken out, and all it could do was fire missiles at a base that there wasn't any casualties. Which Iran, the Iran whose nuclear scientists are been assassinated by Mossad deed inside Iran territory..
Nawaoo, una don see USA finish sha

Why we no go see US finish? Do you what it means to fire a dozen missiles at a military base? Is it not a big shame that such a big base had no air defense? You believe there were no causalities because the US said so but if Russia says her base came under rocket attack but she suffered now causalities, it's propaganda. Assad controls ⅔ of Syria. Russia mission in Syria has been accomplished, they just maintain a prescene there to deter US aggression. Btw, when is isreal going to bomb irans nuke programme?

rottennaija:
Don't mind the fool. US and NATO are short of 155mm to supply Ukraine and they are buying from South Korea (imagine what will happen to South Korea if they fight North Korea). US is planning to remove their SAM systems from Arab countries to send to Ukraine.

Every ally loves to patronize each other. US and UK bought THeMIS UGV from Estonia. Note that Estonia's defense budget is what us spending on paying soldiers. Just paying them not their toys or managing.

joyandfaith:
Oh i see. Rat is speaking.

Did the US not buy MH-17 helos from Russia? What's wrong in patronizing an ally?

olugabbie:
Russia has also launched several military satellites this year after sanctions were placed to stop Russia from getting micro chips. They are also producing new missiles and new fighter jets (Su-30SM2). Analysts all over the world are now convinced that Russian chip industry is now capable of producing it own advanced chips.


Russian troops are well equipped. For evidence, kindly watch the storming of the Hosmotel airport in Ukraine. Likewise the one that were used to invaded other part of Kiev. The events were live streamed. The Russian soldiers were equipped with everything necessary (communication systems, small drones e.t.c).

The Chenchens and the Wagner fighters are also well equipped. You can check the videos online. The DPR and LPR militias are not equipped as those mentioned above except their special forces. So most times people mistake the DPR and LPR militias for regular Russian soldiers. Regular Russian soldiers don't use AK-47.

Russia has a very big military industry. They produce different kind of weapons. It is unsustainable to buy everything you produce. Most of the time, they advertise to gain customers. If they are able to get a good export deal. They can then supply their military the weapon using the profit made from the deal.

I know that the Ruskies have a very big arms industry there's even a presidential decree by Putin himself banning the use of foreign components in Russian militech. I want the link for the hostomel landing

Ukraine can only win on the internet

‘Battlefield Horror’: UAV Captures 12 Minutes Of ‘Deadly Conflict’ Between Russian & Ukrainian Soldiers — Watch
By Tanmay Kadam - November 24, 2022
A video has emerged of a fierce battle between the Russian and Ukrainian soldiers near Lysychansk, involving a wide variety of equipment such as artillery, tanks, armored personal carriers (APCs), combat aircraft, etc.

The video was first released by the Military Chronicle Telegram channel and has been shared widely by pro-Russian social media accounts. EurAsian Times cannot authenticate the veracity of the video.



According to Military Chronicle, the battle ensued after Ukrainian forces conducted a surprise assault to drive out the forces of the People’s Militia of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) from the trenches created along the T-13-02 highway between the villages of Berestove and Verkhn’okam’yanka.

This highway runs along the border between Donetsk and Luhansk regions and the contact line between the Russian and Ukrainian forces.

As of writing this article, Ukrainian forces already control Berestove, according to the Institute for Study of War’s (ISW’s) interactive map of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It appears the Ukrainian forces were trying to break through Russian lines to take control of the T-13-02 highway up to the settlement of Verkhn’okam’yanka, which is only around 10 kilometers southwest of Lysychansk, one of the major cities of Luhansk Oblast.

After a successful counter-offensive in Kharkiv, Ukrainian forces seem to be trying to advance in the Luhansk region.

In late September, Ukrainian armed forces recaptured a village called Bilohorivka, occupied by the Russian troops only recently in July after months of hard-fought battles. Bilohorivka is also roughly 10 kilometers northwest of Lysychansk.

This would suggest a multi-pronged assault by the Ukrainian forces from northwest and southwest directions on the Russian-occupied Luhansk region.

Nevertheless, the latest footage of the battle along the T-13-02 highway suggests the Ukrainian military is far from realizing its aims.

Even if it does, the Russian forces will have inflicted severe damage on the Ukrainian forces fighting them, similar to what happened in Kherson Oblast before the Russian troops withdrew from the Dnipro River’s right (west) bank to the left (eastern) bank.

Russian Aircraft & Artillery Repel Ukrainian Attack
The 12-minute-long video filmed by a Russian drone begins with a group of Ukrainian troops mounted on the MT-LB multi-purpose armored vehicle moving toward the Russian trenches.

The vehicle then comes to a halt, and the Ukrainian soldiers jump off the vehicle to advance further toward Russian positions on foot. After a while, the Ukrainian soldiers made inroads into the trenches, following which close combat ensued between the Russian and Ukrainian forces.

Shortly after this, the video features two Su-25 attack aircraft carrying out a series of bombardments purportedly on Ukrainian soldiers.



Since the entire movement of the Ukrainian forces was monitored by a Russian drone, it must have been easy to track the Ukrainian soldiers and relay target information for strikes using aircraft and artillery.

After three minutes and 30 seconds, the video shows certain trenches occupied by Ukrainian soldiers followed by a series of bombardments purportedly carried out on these trenches by the Su-25 attack aircraft using the Soviet-era 122mm S-13 unguided rockets.

These bombardments continue for around 21 seconds in the video, after which several Ukrainian soldiers are shown dead inside the trenches, marking the total defeat of the Ukrainian assault team. A medical team is also sent in to evacuate the wounded soldiers.

However, this was only the first assault team. After the evacuation, another group of Ukrainian soldiers move in toward the Russian positions, which again manages to gain a foothold in the Russian trenches, and ends up being bombarded again, only this time by the Russian artillery.

The Russian forces reportedly used the 152-mm 2A36 Giatsint-B and D-20 howitzers for strikes, which also destroyed the logistics center operated by the Ukrainian forces to support their offensive.

The aftermath of these artillery strikes was similar to that of the air strikes carried out by Su-25s, comprising several dead Ukrainian soldiers inside trenches.

Russian tanks are also seen firing at the light armored vehicles brought in by Ukrainian soldiers.

After suffering huge losses and two assault attempts, the Ukrainian forces withdrew into the forests, presumably to call it a day, and fell back to their original positions. However, the Russian drones continued to monitor them even as they moved under the canopy of the trees.

The Russians decided to deliver their final blow to Ukrainian forces as they were retreating and used a Su-34 bomber.

The Su-34 is shown in the video purportedly dropping ODAB-500 thermobaric bombs from a low altitude on Ukrainian forces inside the forest.

With this, the video finally ends, marking a defeat for the Ukrainian forces.

I stumbled on this beautiful piece of Ukrainian artwork on Facebook. I laughed at first but it has a more attractive look. No wonder ukraine can only win on social media. Have a look yourself

This is what I have been trying to tell you since.
Am an airplane enthusiastic and my favorite plane is the An-2(I know you don't know it and don't care). Every plane prototype and production follower knows well that the su-57 has not been going according to plan. Or do you want me to attach pictures of the su-57 with unscrewed nuts and broken wings with su-35 nose pod released by sukhoi themselves?

The Su-57 has a deeper story to it. Things hindering it's Development:

The Ruskies are building it with domestic components not foreign components as per executive order by Putin himself
The stealth engine was released only a month ago
