    That's why bojo is no Winston churchill, you'll be reading about russian army while yours sits in england for a good while

    I won't defend our country's involvement in Afghanistan, it was a waste of time, money and most importantly, lives.

    In Irak too !



    That was shit too, there's a recurring theme. Nevertheless this is whataboutery, I will happily criticise American/British and Russian foreign misadventures without distinction.

    2/Here's where I will start from. The Russian armed forces have never attempted anything like this. This isn't about what kind of war they're fighting it's about what they're capable of mustering.

    According to Dmitri Alperovitch
    @DAlperovitch

    That’s not accurate. And doesn’t explain why there is very little use of tactical bomber aviation, EW and even artillery

    Maybe the real reason is the Russian military wanted this to fail from the outset because they don't agree with Putin's tarded aims?

    Fact is - no-one knows. Although the idea of the Russian military sabotaging the operation is pretty naive. It's clearly going ahead as planned. Whatever that plan actually is.

    Well EW they certainly don't want to use unless they have a proper conflict with NATO. Can't show all your cards

    Artillery they do use - Grad and TOS fire against concentrated Ukrainian positions out in the open that don't surrender.

    As for mortars, howitzers, self-propelled arty - they haven't used any of it yet.

    Tactical bombers, drones, etc.. they don't use - and your guess is as good as mine

    They have used Mi-28s, Ka-52s, Su-25s, Mi-24s in CAS. Su-24s in the low-altitude penetration role.

    French President Emmanuel Macron asks his Belarusian counterpart Lukashenko to quickly order Russian troops to leave.

    On a phone call late on Feb. 26, Macron told Lukashenko that Belarus should “refuse to be a vassal and an accomplice to Russia in the war against Ukraine.”

    No.. and it was explained earlier..

    because putin is a teddy bear polite moron ,and want to limit ukrainian army casualties , because he hope to convince them to join russia side.. so this is why russia is not even using 1%
    of its airforce capabilities in ukraine.. aside of the show of force with hellicopters the first day..
    when it comes combat jets and drones is missing its use. not a single su-34 video seen in ukraine.
    so effectively putin's weakness is causing russian army lives..  if russia had very strong close air support to their convoys.. none of this ambush on their military had succeed.


    Too bad Putin is not so nice in Syria.

    Fair point regarding imagery.

    In terms of air superiority, do we know what the picture is there? Su-30SMs have been mentioned as have Su-35S but no evidence.

    As for ground attack it does seem odd to not use Su-34s at all as it's not like the Russians would want to keep their strike capabilities under wrap. But again, we don't know for 100%?

    Correct

    You'd expect to see Russian Military but instead they are using enlarged version of DPR militia

    Where is airforce?

    Where are cruise missiles?

    Where is artillery?



    This is like watching Saudis fighting a war but at least Saudis are intelligent enough to use the missiles and airforce

    And Russian corpses keep piling up



    We should be seeing several highways of death of Ukrainian vehicles per hour but instead we have Russian convoys torched like they hired bunch of Saddam's rejects to do this for them

    They shredded their economy and global status for this?



    At this rate Soviet-Afghan War and fall of USSR will look like the good old days

    I don't want to fight with my British friend, I understand that he is respectful. But he criticizes the Russian forces too much, and I think they are doing a good job. I remind you that Malvinas, (with no resources and against NATO and Chile) we did material and human damage. We use A4 and old mirage. Russia studied this conflict very well. I hope they open the military archives that Margaret Tachter closed (for some strange reason)

    What would it take for Russia and its allies in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the other central Asian former Soviet Republics to expedite the formation of a Union State? I think, if Russia's aim is to put a pro Russia -or at least a friendly neutral government - in power in Kiev, permanent military bases and CSTO membership are musts.

    Yes they did. They have claimed they shot down 4 in total all full of vdv paratroopers. Ghost of Kiev false. Snake island 13 dead. False they all surrendered and are alive.

    Several fakes of captured Russian soldiers.

    Several fakes of Ukraine women crying about men leaving to fight were from Eastern Ukraine.

    Claims of 5000 Russian troops dead fake.

    Claims of of Russian tank running over civil car was actually a Ukraine strela 10.

    Several claims of them shooting down Russian planes were also false.

    This propaganda we have never seen before honestly.

    Not even the soviets lies this hard to be quite frank.

    The Russian forces are basically acting as if they're liberating their own territory. They're going into local shops and buying things. Grouping up in cities discussing things. Following all the traffic regulations, letting civilian cars pass in front and through their columns.

    Which is just. I dunno.

    If it works, it will be a hell of a dezombification dose for the Ukrainians. If not, it will end up like the 1st Chechen war.

    A waste of money on their part.
