    Err the article however misses somethings, if those pictures are genuine, there's little possible chance those systems were BM's, because of chassis, and turret shape. So while the pictures present a platoon of T90's, we don't know where they were taken. IMO this explains many things regarding Luhansk carnage in Novoannovka. Take this the way you want.

    Ukrops mixed all sorts of pictures up from different times and places, and I would take the position that T-90A are not in Donbass....

    As I said, there's no doubt this has to be checked out, but this also means that if the pictures are checked inside UA, the T90 was obviously an overmatch to every thing Ukropistanis had in the area. And you know better than me the kind of destruction there's around Novoannovka, over UA 40 hulks in a 5km perimetre.

    I'll put this here just in case it develops further, but probably not. МЧС have apparently advised in Elenovka to close windows due to ammonia. That's all, probably nothing, but from a source that does not do stuffing.

    Video from the area the map is centered on https://maps.yandex.ru/142/donetsk/?ll=37.743620%2C47.960526&z=18&l=map



    I think that's mostly it now for the night.

    This +1

    if he wants to use the war as a destraction then the best way to take away his destraction is by taking away his ability to fight it. Ie, complete destruction of his army, sadly that will ruffle feathers as the west will unite to back him against the 'russian invader' and russia will have to weather a storm, but once it stops poroshenkos head will be on a block. But all this is dependent on at what point russia forces NAF to sign up to minsk -3.

    I would rather say that recent events shows quite clear that Ukraine goes to any length to provoke the peasants and workers militia to attack, I give you that.

    Well that's a start. Just so that you don't forget in the future who broke the ceasefire.

    When you say "broke" it I would answer that it was not there, but I agree that Ukraine have done more then its fair share of that "breaking". However, Ukraine will not attack, they have vay too much to win if the seps attacks first.

    What do they have to win? If we are to believe the Current Western Narrative (CWN), Seps don't attack without Russian order...and thus Russian backing. So by any mean, any Separatist attack means smoldering Ukrainian hulks. If this is your "Uncle" battle, then I'm afraid you need to review your assessment of Ukraine's priorities.

    Well I agree that the seps will not attack without Russian backing, but I also do not think that this backing will be the full power of the Russian forces. This is the Great Game played again, and Russia will not attacck full force since that will not lead to its desired goals.

    Once again, let's have this discussion.

    a. When did Russia attacked with its full force? NEVER.
    b. When was the last time Russia let any major Separatist action down? NEVER.
    c. When was the last time Ukraine paraded "new" hardware nearby the frontline without attempted attacks. Debaltsevo.
    d. The Great Game a specific term, regarding a specific region. The combination you were looking for was the "Long Game".

    It only took them a few weeks to notice. But they sure notice NAF deployments fast even if they do not violate Minsk-II.

    In this case the CWN is entirely true, you'd have to be completely naive to believe that any major rebel action will start or stop now w/o the appropriate Russian order. They are completely dependent on Russia for supplies, intel, weapons, trade, diplomacy, political cover and Moscow has long installed its own people there who will follow their line (Zakharchenko et. all), while giving an exit route for the crazy soldiers of fortune such as Strelkov.

    During the last rebel offensive I remember that it was hinted that the Russian observers 'moved aside', allowing the rebels to advance.

    Always nice to see the confirmation that OSCE is acting as a de facto spy organization. I think we've never been closer to resuming the war as today.

    EDIT: Judging by this map ( http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/kot_ivanov/71733898/42710/42710_original.jpg ) it'd be wise to completely destroy VSU's positions at Svetlodarsk. It's got a cauldron written all over it.

    Then why aren't those idiots in the NAF headquarters kicking the OSCE out? Why do they still allow their presence while de-facto recognizing them as spies working for Kiev?

    I'm not naive, I asked something to obtain a certain answer. SO...once again, what would have Ukraine to gain from having Russia going in offense? Less capabilities to defend itself? Why would Russia get the West vote more sanctions against itself, while the current situation slowly but surely decays Ukraine's capabilities to resist the current economic downturn. Why pull a shot in the arm to Ukropistan?

    So as highlighted by the current OSCE report, Ukraine has everything to win by provoking an attack? Say it is so, I got this bridge in Patras to sell,

    Not going to happen because every military defeat for Ukraine means more sanctions for Russia.

    Civilians lives are meaningless in this war. Kiev can kill as many civilians as it wants without sanctions thrown at them. The only thing prohibited is military victories for the NAF.

    Strange war. Seems to be in limbo. There is no negotiation, no ground offensive to take territory. Looks like time has stopped in Donetsk. Which, as you know, is exactly what a frozen conflict is about. Every day Donetsk is shelled. Every day people die. No one says a word about it. I don't expect this situation to change this year or the next. What is sure is come January 2017 the US will supply artillery and ammo to Maidan and the shelling will be much more intense than now when Maidan has limited shells to fire on Donetsk.

    Deal done fast? It took Almost two months to react to idiotic probe attacks from Ukropia at Donetsk Intl and break the wedge at Debalstevo. Are you guys following the same war as I or is this senile amnesia?

    The conditions now are even better, Ukraine is shelling civilians and international organizations just reported in the simplest terms Ukraine's breach of Minsk agreement.
    Idiot Turchynov goes on the Line of Contact parading in front of heavy weaponry that's supposed to be some 30 km out of there.

    ... Not really ideal conditions for an innocent self-defense scheme...

    When you say "broke" it I would answer that it was not there, but I agree that Ukraine have done more then its fair share of that "breaking". However, Ukraine will not attack, they have vay too much to win if the seps attacks first.

    What do they have to win? If we are to believe the Current Western Narrative (CWN), Seps don't attack without Russian order...and thus Russian backing. So by any mean, any Separatist attack means smoldering Ukrainian hulks. If this is your "Uncle" battle, then I'm afraid you need to review your assessment of Ukraine's priorities.

    In this case the CWN is entirely true, you'd have to be completely naive to believe that any major rebel action will start or stop now w/o the appropriate Russian order. They are completely dependent on Russia for supplies, intel, weapons, trade, diplomacy, political cover and Moscow has long installed its own people there who will follow their line (Zakharchenko et. all), while giving an exit route for the crazy soldiers of fortune such as Strelkov.

    During the last rebel offensive I remember that it was hinted that the Russian observers 'moved aside', allowing the rebels to advance.


    That's true, they did.

    That's a lot of shelling being done by Ukraine Armed Forces.

    As for Debaltsevo, Pushilin said no election will be held there because it's technically Maidan territory because Minsk 2 was signed before Maidan withdrew from Debaltsevo. As for what happens only time will tell.

    Donetsk a short time ago

    So after 15 months of this war the junta is still able to shell downtown Donetsk Sad

    Strange war. Seems to be in limbo. There is no negotiation, no ground offensive to take territory. Looks like time has stopped in Donetsk. Which, as you know, is exactly what a frozen conflict is about. Every day Donetsk is shelled. Every day people die. No one says a word about it. I don't expect this situation to change this year or the next. What is sure is come January 2017 the US will supply artillery and ammo to Maidan and the shelling will be much more intense than now when Maidan has limited shells to fire on Donetsk.

    Yeah, it is better to stop caring about Donbass civilians. It does no good and just gets your blood pressure up.

    You and I are not ethnic Russians, so why should this war have anything to do with our blood pressures? geek

    We have our western way of fighting war, shock and awe, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Em Russians have their eastern way of fighting war, a way we can never understand. Let them fight their way and stop worrying about it. Razz
