The link you posted as "evidence" clearly mentioned that Russian soldiers strap the mines to their chest to transport it to the frontline. They then set the mine and retreat.

The video your other guy posted of a Russian soldier with a mine, also clearly shows the soldier setting the mine. The soldier clealry wasn't using the mine as a suicide vest.

None of you guys "evidence" proved Russia is using using landmines to turn soldiers into suicide bombers. If anything, it even trashes your claims and implicates you guys.

Seriously, you guys have dragged this clown show on for too long. It is really time to bring it to an end.
Comprehension!!, the link was to buress Icktioaxen post That carrying mines around are nothing new to the Russian militay.

If Russia can put his troops on harms way by carrying mines on their bodies what stopping Russia from using an African man as a Human bomb

This is like the fifth time you are jumping into a discussion without understanding the context.

My reply was in response to his claims that "it doesn't make sense to storm enemy position with modified anti tank mines turned bombs. And that the enemy would see the soldier approaching with the mine bomb and take him out with drones and guns. He claimed that Russia would never use such a tactic when they have drones and whatnot. Then i showed him a video of Russians storming with that tactic that he claimed "doesn't make sense".

The entire discussion began with Russians strapping a mine to an African and calling him "disposable". While they'll never do the same to their own people.

You should learn to read and comprehend before entering any discussion.
Context!! My brother Context!!

Where was the "superior intelligence" of the US when some random yank smuggled a rifle into a campaign venue and took an assassination shot at Donald Trump even when he was squeezed between several secret service personnel🤡?
The US isn't in a state of war dude!!

Trump wasn't an official government officials at that time. as an ex president he is limited to few secret service personnel!!.. also Trump rally was an open air rally and the shooter was in a nearby building..


We are talking about the deputy military intelligence chief, shot in an apartment building like a common criminal during a time of war.. a critical time when members of the top echelon of military officers are given heavy security and are the highest priorities

Do you know what it takes to target and kill top military brass not in the battlefield but in moscow the capital of Russia!!

Go drink milk guy..You need am

Iran na very unserious country.

Imagine the FM dey announce say the undetonated bomb still dey there without them even attempting to recover it. Since how many months ago.

Lazy, dumb and unserious country.

North Korea go don dey mass produce am by now.
I agree with your opinion concerning Iran, but I dont think they're unserious to that extent. The bomb by itself would be useless to Iran because they lack the means to drop them against formidable countries. The fact that they waited this long to reveal it can only mean one thing: they're passing a message to the United States.

I've followed the conversation from the beginning. You guys aren't making sense with your assertions. Even your video counters the claim you're making now because that video clearly shows a drone attacking a Russian soldier setting a mine.

It is normal for soldiers to carry mines to the frontlines. What is not normal is saying a mine is being used as a suicide vest or that Russians are using Africans for meat wave attacks. I don't even understand the point. Just get a fpv drone and it will do the job.

Notably, there is no single evidence of these meat wave attacks. If it's so common, then it shouldn't be hard to prove it.

Lastly, there's no evidence that the video of that African man is real. It first popped up on western media who claimed it was from a "pro-Russian telegram channel." But western media has clearly refused to tell us the name of this so-called pro-Russian channel.

Have we gotten to the point where you guys post something as evidence, we point out that the evidence contradicts you, and you then turn around to deny the same evidence that you posted?

There is some level of madness going on on this thread.

Yeah.

Sometimes if you love something, you have to criticize it.

I really hope Iran wakes up from their slumber. Put religion aside and do what's necessary, what's expected of them.

Mikasaobi:
This is why folks here don’t like engaging you guys. You can clearly see my post saying bombers are used for long range strikes and you’re asking why can’t Russia retire them.

I never said bombers are WW 2 technology, I said flying them over enemy territory, meaning dropping bombs over a target. What people are criticising is Israel refuelling and going a long distance to strike Iran. Russia will continue to build bombers because they don’t need to leave their airspace to strike Europe and some parts of USA.
We are not taking about long distance here, the US have weapons to hit Iran from afar, US submarines cruise missiles can hit Iran from distance..


Simple question how will Russia carry out conventional strikes against Iran's underground nuclear structures bearing in mind that they are deeply buried underground.

Different missions different ways to carry them out.. the "Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power" Russia equivalent to the Us "Massive Ordnance Air Blast" and also the GBU-57 MOP .. all these are heavy ordinance used for underground facilities.. how are you going to deliver such payloads without flying over the target??

⚡A huge banner was raised in Tehran’s famous Palestine Square, displaying a map of potential targets in the Gush Dan (Greater Tel Aviv) area, alongside a warning in Hebrew reading:

“In the face of a rain of missiles, this is a small area.”

⚡US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

It's stunning to me that Israel had GDP growth in a year in which they were at war with the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, and Iran, all in the same year, and they still had GDP growth.

That's unheard of.

⚡Zelensky:

We did not have air defense. At the start of the war, we had only 25 S-300 systems.

In the 1990s, Kyiv alone had 250 air-defense systems.

Today we are building our own air-defense industry from zero — during war.

⚡Tensions are rising fast between Ethiopia and Eritrea, with Ethiopia accusing Eritrea of crossing the border and escalating militarily.

Ethiopia says Eritrean troop movements are “not just provocations but acts of outright aggression.”

Addis Ababa accuses Eritrea of “incursion… further into Ethiopian territory” and “joint military manoeuvres… with rebel groups.”

Ethiopia warns Eritrea has “chosen the path of further escalation.”

Eritrea rejects the claims, accusing Ethiopia of “floating false flags to justify the war.”

⚡Zelensky:

Despite the war, Ukraine has no slavery. People who are not of mobilization age have the right to leave.

You cannot force people to return. People return when they truly love Ukraine — without pathos.

People return because of conditions — because they see a future, see prospects, see work and dignity.

This has forced Russian commanders to order even more desperate attacks with Russian soldiers being turned into unintentional suicide bombers by essentially carrying explosive vests with them during assaults.

Here's another video of Russian soldiers storming Ukrainian positions with modified antitank mine bombs


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCuESsarM80?si=aHL9DOW-UTeuRqxNol
Anything explosive!! Be it anti tank mines, Rockets, shells .. as long as it is an explosive. It can be wired and modified to become an suicide bombing kit..


From this video what's stopping Russian commanders from making a🥷 run over to a Ukraine position and detonating himself with the mine

⚡About 90 minutes ago, a salvo of 6 Iskander-M ballistic missiles struck Vasylkiv airbase in the Kyiv region.

A large fire is currently burning in the area as a result of the strikes.
