seunny4lif: Do you know many Bayraktar, the Turkey government have sent since last week
Ukraine are losing bayraktar but not as much as Russia MoD lied that they lost in snake island. Bayraktar is armed drone and not DJI Mavic drone. Most of air and equipment losses Ukraine has in the past two weeks is from Donbass and no evidence that they've lost drone or aircraft not even landing boat in snake island. I know you must have seen Ukrainian pilot that was killed which has been circulating in Russians telegram channels that the pilot was killed in snake island, but the real fact is that the pilot was killed in air combat in Russian controlled territory in Donbass. There is limited supply of missile for that bayraktar so you will not be seeing much of the action but you want me to believe that Ukes lost 14 just within 24hrs on indefensible Island. Maybe I will aswell believe that Ukes shot down Russia plane with paratroopers inside during the first week of war , Since both claims have no pictorial evidence
RevDesm0ndJuju: Over 30 Turkish drones where shot down during the battle to retake snake island.
27 Su-25s, and 14 choppers.
The US is now redirecting MIGs and helicopters meant for the Afghan govt to jewkraine and has signed a lend lease agreement to supply Ukraine with more weapons. Just yesterday $40bn was approved by US Congress as aid to Ukraine.
If they are not losing their gear to the Russians why will the US and NATO be passing the offering tray round themselves for Jewkraine?
If this is what winning looks like them I don't want to be winning .
Where is your pictorial evidence or should I believe Russian MoD that said they destroyed 350% of Ukraine jets?
seunny4lif: Ukraine tried to take back Snake island. They lost a lot trying. Russia acted like they were leaving snake island. It’s was posted by many pro Ukraine account and they even blamed it on[b] UK and Ukraine president, for not listening to his military officers according to those pro Ukraine[/b], Russia already knew about all the plan and acted like no Russia defence in place. It’s was massacre as none of the Ukraine troops survive and all the aircrafts were down.
You know you're telling lies but I just want to believe your lies. I just need just a single picture of Ukraine landing boat,drone,Su-27,Su-24 and their choppers since Russia is the one controlling the snake island, they're supposed to snap and post like they've done in other areas.
The bolded was posted by RWA citing TASS. And many of the disjointed stories that follows is from Russia propaganda channels. Ukraine don't have what it takes to defend or keep the island but Russia MoD is trying to lie his way out just because they've lost so much AD system in that island and they're trying to cover up just like they did in Libya and Armenia where Russia MoD has to personally lie that some AD was not active when the bayraktar blew it off .
How many bayraktar and choppers does Ukraine have? I only believe what I see because propaganda is too much in this .
RevDesm0ndJuju: The same Ukrainian govt that is begging the US to impose a no fly zone ?
Why did the US not heed that call and send their F35s?
Russian stealth fighters have not been deployed to Ukraine because there is no Ukrainian air force left and sending them without a major air threat will see the US acquire much needed radar signals on them to be cracked .
The current air support deployed by Russians are concentrated on mostly ground support and taking out Ukrainian choppers and drones. Even the Russian missile systems are more than capable to deal with whatever air threat the Ukrainians still have.
Just last week , Russian missile system took out 27 Ukrainian choppers and over 30 drones in the battle for Snake Island.
With hypersonic missiles, Russian stealth fighters don't even need to operate within Ukraine as their missile range and speed can reach any target in near real time over Ukraine.
How many drone and choppers does Ukraine have? And I believe that Russia controls the snake island, so where is the pictorial evidence of the drone that got shot down?
hedonister: The owner of EFAB, one of the biggest real estate companies which is below is from Anambra. His name is Fabian Nwaora. But why don't our people try to replicate these estates in Anambra and Igboland?
There is Efab estate at Awka and Asaba. But the last time the man came back to village for his elder sister's burial, he was attacked by UGM and was saved by God and his bullet proof SUV.
Obafavour: US still rely heavily on china for supplying parts of military aircraft. Can't deny that. Without chinese supply most of US military aircraft won't be existing like boeing and the f-35 fighter cos they supply the most essential thing.
You seriously needs to learn more bro. Rare earth parts
Obafavour: Many of lockheed martin key products, including f-35 fighter jets and patriot missiles rely on component made with rare earths. China is the world's largest rare earth exporter and the US imports over 80% of it's rare earths needs from china. Lockheed martin doesn't have direct business with china, but have parts and materials suppliers operater there. US can't deny this, but you sited here brainwashed with their cunning stories. If you think this is a lie go find out.
You even have a bigger problem than I thought. When you say someone import parts for machinery/equipments is not when you import raw materials, the so called rare materials that doesn't have name is not only find in China and can easily be gotten from somewhere else with same. USA have a good business relationship with China that's why they are still business allies no matter their difference. China import 60% of US soya beans which they can easily buy from Africa or south America at a cheaper rate but they choose USA even at the height of trade war with them.
Saying that USA imports parts for f-35 from China means that China produces specific parts for them and can easily sanction the company producing it.
Below are parts of bayraktar drone which is a Turkish company and various parts for the drone gotten from other countries though Canada might stop selling wescam for them any time soon so they're developing their homemade.
Now you can you show me the part of f-35 being made in China? Dassult Rafale from France is another example but show me what you got.
Obafavour: What of boeing? Can you argue about that? China exports to united states, nuclear reactors is among, i can prove it to you if you want me to.
BritishNaija: Lolz. The guy was so annoying with his carjol jargons, He never knew i'm Very Well schooled about things.
Guy you're trying... I don't know why you're trying so hard to convince someone that's ignorant and doesn't want to learn?
How can a sane person say that USA import military parts from China? When USA was having trade war with China, I was busy downloading Chinese propaganda on how great the Chinese are in technology until Trump sanctioned hauwei and relegates the company from top producing phone industry to struggling one.
Just scroll back and read where the Obote said that USA imported nuclear reactor from China. The Chinese that built 21st century aircraft carrier powered by diesel where the people that import nuclear reactor from them run nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
GeneralFarouq: Well, the diff is the West actively look for ways to ensure Africa stays in war... We on the other hand are innocent of these evil efforts, so I don't see any hypocrisy here
My brother, it's not everything that we suppose to blame the West. We're also our own problem because I can't blame the West for the kind of insurgency going on in my backyard (SE Nigeria). Most of the guns that's in circulation is not even produce in Western countries. Russia, Turkey, China and Israel arms dealers accounts for the 60%+ of illegal arms trade around the world. I was shocked to watch a documentary at aljazeera that most Aks circulating around the globe in the hands of non state/government actors are produced in China. If Russia, China and Turkey can regulate their small arms industry and stop selling to any bidder, most of these terrorist will be fighting with machete and local fabricated guns.
Naijasauce69: When people refer to Canon Fodder they mean cheap expendable infantry. Not all infantry units are treated equally in situations like this.
The old Colonial Powers often used there colonial troops in such a way. I believe even in the early 2000s there was a fallout between Italian and Nigerian peacekeepers in Sudan or Somalia where the former tried to use the latter in a similar way to canon fodder.
I can’t find the article but I believe they wanted the Nigerians to openly engage the enemy without cover drawing all there fire while the Italians picked of the insurgents from a distance. It was something like that my memory is fuzzy.
Naijasauce69: While the enemy is distracted and or bogged down with the Canon fodder; overwhelm them with the quality troopers.
But Canon fodders usually made up the infantry troops who are to work with artillery men, Tanks and other heavy equipments. When those who are not battle strong received a boom, they will run and leave those professional equipment handlers at the mercy of enemy's ATGMS and firepower.
This above is just my reasoning... That's why I decided to ask the need for them.
SuperSixSeven: Russian army contracts end traditionally in April and many Russian contract soldiers deployed to Ukraine will not renew their contracts and drop out. Since there is no mobilization announced the RU MOD can not fill (officially) those gabs with conscript soldiers. This is the reason they have to take in a growing number of retried soldiers from very poor regions from the far-east as cannon-fudder and Wagner PMCs like this two guys from Central African Republic killed in Donbas.
So we have some Africans in Wagner PMC? That means Wagner might be the biggest PMC because of their engagement in different parts of the world.
I still don't know the need for canon fudders, please care to explain because I believe in quality than quantity.
Tinfoil: For any African brave enough and needs money you can join LPR or DNR. They are currently recruiting
Russian can be got through Greece. But it would be best to have a trans African oil pipeline from north to south and west to east
The first two pictures is Russia reservists from Tver region who can't afford proper military footwear.
The two last are from DNR troops who can't afford a sizeable military cloth and they're with their war loots.
How can you be seriously advising your fellow African man to go there and make money when people doing recruitment can't even afford a proper military wears for their available soldiers
joyandfaith: I will tag you to remind you of your fallacy
You guys seriously have time oh. These Russia supporters are getting emotional and falling for every nonsense that's against the West not because they love Russia but because they hate USA.
Just look at how one of their legit news source posted a dimmer version video of Russian troops surrendering and tag it's Ukrainian soldiers.
We have Eastern and Western propaganda but Eastern propaganda makes MSM looks like saints.
Mooh247: 1:To answer you .. most US weapons like fighter jets , missile defence system and unguided missiles are programmed in English Language, they use US measurements standards and would flag many Ukrainian weapons on radar as enemies
So NO , arming Ukrainian Army with Western weapons might be counterproductive
2: Russia sells weapon like a commodity, they don't act as moral guide or dictate who you use it on as long as you pay .. the work of world police is for United Nations and International Criminal Court
Take the case of Goodluck Jonathan that refused to allow gay rights and US Congress refuses to sell arms to him claiming human rights infringement of terroist... Russia wouldn't do that
Damn... I don't like quoting someone when a thread is long gone but out of all the ignorance statements you made on the first page, this your no.1 is the ultimate. There's always an export variant for every weapons made in every country. In US, only Abram tanks and f-22 is not for export but every other of there weapon can be exported to any country even Russia. It's up to the country to integrate and program their weapons only if they run on Central control unit but it's only the USA that have the capability to run things centrally .
texazzpete: I don’t think people realize how big a deal this is.
The Moskva was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and the pride of the Russian Navy. It also carried powerful S-300 anti-aircraft systems and was responsible for much of the air cover over eastern Ukraine. Also many of the ship launched missiles.
This is a significant blow to Russia, not just to their war effort, but also to their pride. That local Ukrainian made missiles could take out one of their most modern vessels.
Russia is pretending that the explosion was caused by an on-board accident but that’s garbage to try to save face. And if the explosion was truly that large, you have to fear for the 510 sailors on board.
64 units of S-300 . Massive loss for Russian navy.
ebufa: Let us just agree to disagree ok! you sound like an intelligent guy but just like you, I used to view the world from a western prism but with the internet and its array and armada of independent views and perspectives, I have come to see the west as an avaricious and vicious beast.....bros "with the west I now measure thrice and cut once"..........look at the enormous destruction their wars have caused the world.....Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan, and even Syria....wars that have caused millions upon millions of lives! The west only intervenes when there are resources to be plundered and where their strategic interests are at stake. nearly 500,000 lives have been lost in all manner of insurgencies and insecurities in Nigeria...........how has the collective west intervened in the going on in Nigeria......as we post today the west still has military arm sales restrictions on the Nigerian military.....................why? how many lives were lost in Ukraine b4 the west spent almost 2 billion dollars to push out a legitimate in 2014................ The war in Ukraine was scripted in the west, ISIS in Syria was scripted by the west,Boko haram was scripted in the west,the congo wars of the 1960s was planned in the west.......apartheid was sustained by the west...abeg Africans should wake up!
Your last line is my main stand even on Twitter. Africans should wake up because we're suppose to be profiting from this crisis via our abundant gas reserves. I cannot hate the West just to love the East when either of them can profit from your misfortune. Accusing the West of commiting war crime and instability in middle east just to support Russia for doing the same in Europe is pure hypocritical. Russia can aswell nuke Finland and Sweden because USA has done worst.
ebufa: you are just exposing your ignorance! this is war, there are bound to be casualties on all sides but the way you nigerians parrot western media propaganda is nauseating............ The Russians are literally in a no holds barred knife fight with the Ukrainian army.....they are literally grinding the Ukrainian army to dust, by the time the Russians secure all the south and eastern parts of Ukraine, there will be nothing left of the Ukraine army,they will not be able to even sustain an insurgency! Take note the Russians are not afraid of taking the casualties but the eventual result will be a total ukrainian defeat!
For God's sake I am not parroting western media propaganda, I am just asking for raw evidence so your reverse psychology of accusing me of being a western puppet will not work. You're also guilty of parading eastern propaganda without sensible facts check. I follow even Russia state media and most of their claims are highly exaggerated and stupid for any sane mind. They claim to destroyy 145 bayraktar drone but Ukraine don't have UpTo 50 bayraktar and the visual confirm Lost of the drone is not UpTo 10 and you want me to believe that bogus claim because Russians don't lie only the West do. I should also believe Ukrainians that claimed to neutralized 2 BTG two days ago without evidence since all of us want to be mad.
shogsman: You slowpoke who told you Russian visa is easier to obtain,you have never left Nigeria in all your Life and suddenly you think you know about international affairs, I've been to Russia and lived in Moscow too,so tired of seeing local runts like you who think watching Hollywood makes you white
My friend go and sit down. You think all Nigerians are villagers because you live outside Nigeria? Russia universities will gladly give prospective candidates admission even without seeing their transcript self. Go back to Moscow and make it great instead of being a capitalist slave in the West you hate so much.
Go and brainwash your villagers wey never see or enter plane with all these chest beating. Nonsense
shogsman: Actually anybody replying you is just wasting it's time cos you're about ignorant and unreliable as it can possibly get,all you do all day is peddle western propaganda on here like a loyal slave. I live in the west and even I laugh at some of your lousy biased claims
You live in the West whereas Russia Visa is easier to obtain I don't peddle western propaganda but that Obote wants to force Eastern propaganda down my throat when I am already on every Eastern news outlets you can ever think of and can boldly separate their truths from lies. I don't want to be having any argument with fanatics like you or that guy who is ready to leave one slave master for another slave master. Leave Western country and relocate to Eastern country otherwise you're a capitalist slave
West1side: Went tru all your post n never see where you or your father condemned the carnage by Ipob. Can one now argue that your miserable household is plagued with foolishness for not condemning the rubbish in your house instead of talking trash on others that are able to manage their affairs beta than your entire foolish tribe
You're a cursed tribalistic dung so I won't take offence in your postulation. Since you went through my post and couldn't found where I critized the Ipobs, you would've screenshot where I praised them or blame Yoruba Fulani or Hausa people for there menace in SE.
I don't talk much on Nigeria politics because it's full of cursed souls like you who always thread their freedom for a bottle of alomo bitters.
Here are my few comments on Ipobs for others who might want to believe your lying spirit without checking my previous post. Not actually for you because I will not reply your stupid mention again.
princeeze1: I believed you could read. The Slovaks tried to deny it initially which I pointed out, but it has been published by all mainstream media already because it is an undeniable fact. Have the Slovaks or Ukrainians come to deny it again? Mind you the link is bbc, you could also find out it was initially hidden as it has not been put to use. It’s just a disgrace to the Slovaks and Ukrainians. Below is a quote from aljazeera explicitly saying the Slovaks as at Friday said they had already handed over the s300s. Get used to it, it has been destroyed. So painful to msm, they can’t find a way to spin this to massage bruised egos.
My friend I won't start engaging you in a meaningless argument. I also believe you can read because all the News outlets you're dishing out here got their source from just a quote from Russians MoD that destroyed 145 imaginary bayraktar drones.
I will not reply your mention again because I am neither paid by Ukraine nor any Western country to defend ignorance.
OlawaleBammie: Watch patiently as children from that region will attack this thread as if their lives depends on it And if u check very well, the level of agberoism in anambra lasan eehn, walahi lagos own dey learn.
If u carry load for for there and ur booth no gree lock, na wahala for u, u must to pay
If u carry load put for chair u must pay or else u re beaten to stupor, that is how dem beat one mista ogbona just cus of 50# levy

But noo, that is not the topic for today anyways
This is how bad things have gotten in this sick country. Instead of you to condemn this toutish act, your pointing fingers and abusing other tribes.
So the SAM has already been deployed at Izyum which is mostly controlled by Russia and DPR? And the OP said that it was blown up at nikolaev Your source is even a quote from Russia MoD that also said that they've destroyed 145 bayraktar drones whereas Ukraine don't have UpTo 50 bayraktar drones.
Drenimarcus: The thing is, Russia backs theirs with videos and pictures, Ukraine doesnt. We have had Ghost of Kyiv, snake island, the cinema bombing, arma 3 videos etc. It is why i am following 20 channels and most are backed with videos.
Where is the picture or video of s-300 that was blown off near nikolaev?
This is the pictures of su-34 that was shot down at same nikolaev.
chronique: I was reading on a telegram group where Pakistanis were calling his removal a US coup... Why does the US always have a hand in things like this all over the world? Once you are not bowing down to their whims and caprices, you are done with. This is why we need strong nations like Russia. A world where we allow the US to influence elections of leaders and determine who and who leads a country, is not acceptable.
Russia also influence elections just that they don't have the capacity to do it on large scale like USA. Make una stop supporting rubbish. Any nation that invades a sovereign country doesn't deserve any form of glorification but won't blame Nigerians since buhari still have supporters.
