    I followed the publications of that magazine until a few days ago, until it was shut down, and I saw that they wrote about the great losses of the Ukrainian army. That obviously bothered the West.

    They did take a bunch of Russian prisoners near Kharkov, to be fair (and killed them)

    "Aviation and air defense systems of the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down four Su-24 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force over the Chernihiv region in a day in the air, two of them in the Repka region, and two more in the Gorodnya region. In the Kramatorsk region of the Donetsk region one Ukrainian Su-27 fighter was shot down," he said

    They can also get fuel across the western border. Ukraine is a large country. Don't forget that far smaller Serbia saved 5 of its MiG-29s after 78 days of NATO aggression, even though NATO said that all planes of that type were destroyed.

    I think jet fuel is not much a problem for now, just wondering why Ukraine Air Force thinks it is a good idea to bring five targets in the air for shooting practice.

    That is, in fact, great, because in that way, Ukraine will definitely shut down its own air force. I repeat again that the "indestructible" NATO Pact in Serbia, which is 7 times smaller in area than Ukraine and has far fewer airports, failed to completely destroy the Serbian Air Force. Dozens and dozens of helicopters, as well as dozens of J-22 Orao, MiG-21 and 5 MiG-29 planes survived the NATO aggression.

    Both mentioned regions are located along the UKR/BEL/RUS border. Gomel airport is not far away. Maybe they wanted to do something spectacular. A kamikaze attack Laughing

    I mentioned Kharkov.  There is no Army in the world that would not suffer casualties, ambushes and pow’s on a front this large , operation this complicated, and a numerous opponent trained armed and supported by the west for years… Their supplies are dwindling, the eastern front in pressed, the areas secured by the Russians already are not under serious threat, thats the reality.

    You're free to provide evidence to the contrary just like the last guy or join him in stfu.

    This whole "starstreak" hype is just the same insane as the previous one concerning Javs and NLAWS.
    Just looking at it is enough to judge that it is complicated to both transport and operate.
    Not sure if you are aware of it, how it works Laughing
    Well, the operator's job is to follow the target and illuminate it with a laser beam till the missile hits.
    Good luck mounting this whole structure on the dynamic battlefield Laughing
    Or try to illuminate the target with the launcher on your shoulder only Laughing Laughing

    They seem much more complicated to operate. It will hardly be effective against planes but if used well they can be potentially dangerous for helicopters.

    Early in the campaign Zelenski was complaining that he only gets fuel from the EU and not nearly enough weapons.

    These aircraft are most likely operating from remote areas with very little in terms of supply to sustain any ops. These are "once-off" suicide missions with no chance of causing any significant damage.

    Al-Fallujah is ~30-40 sq. km. Mariupol is over 4 times that size.

    Took 'em two attempts to take it over from insurgents that were a lot more lightly armed and not as organized (~73 days)

    To give you people some perspective of what it takes to fight an adversary (who doesn't run away) in an urban environment. You could argue that Mariupol is even harder, because of the high-rise residential buildings generally 5-12 stories high, which are built to survive some serious damage.

    Interesting reports that Kadyrov is now in Mariupol. Akhmat Sila, anyone?

    Earlier Arestovich called for witches to conduct rituals for the victory of their troops

    Seems Russian soldiers found the equipment of such a 'witch' in the Donbass region
    https://t.me/chvkmedia/32853

    Well, it looks harmless, but either way it's some sort of satanism, which is associated with neo-paganism and neo-nazis of all stripes.

    Really looks like all the scum of the world have aligned here in the Ukraine over the last 8 years.

    A local Nazi's home raided in Berdyansk. Big figure in the 'Aidar' battalion. He himself is still at large

    Some more shit found in Berdyansk. Including a 'Gagarinstrasse' road sign. Might have been from the Nazi's home

    Russian soldier alleges that Ukrainian troops are targeting ambulances. Can't vouch for it of course
    https://t.me/new_militarycolumnist/78500

    Ukrainian Spetsnaz moving around in civilian vehicles, there are a lot of such photos and videos over the past few days. It seems the Ukrainian military is moving more towards insurgency from conventional fighting. There were reports that some Ukrainian soldiers dressed in civilian clothes, got to their destination unharassed by Russian troops, then changed into their gear and engaged in their mission.

    Woman found dead and mutilated in Mariupol school basement. Had a swastika painted on her midriff in her own blood, and missing an arm


    Also was a photo of some prohibited munition used by Azov. Can't vouch for it, but it seems to be a zoo of war-crimes and prohibited methods of war in the Ukraine, everything goes as the West will ignore it. So wouldn't surprise me.
