    It won't be long and everyone will want to buy Tor. The NATO have no Unit and Weapon in this Class  = Lose hard on the Ground.

    Tor still has a small range against small drones. Even with 12-24 systems, which is what small-medium armies can afford, you will have hard time protecting all your troops.

    It's simple doctrine, transition from defense to counterattack to offense

    We are still in defense despite west predicting phase 2 weeks ago

    Why shift to the offense when the enemy is destroying their own capability chasing Russian army into an artillery gridlock that's zeroed every inch of real estate on the grid map

    They're gonna get blown to smithereens as in every engagement of this war

    Russia has ample forces, but it won't throw them into a senseless defensive position,  it will hold them in 2nd and 3rd echelon until offensive begins

    This isn't western doctrine, it's warfare of General Staff
    We will see...if they retreat further it's a pushback and a defeat. If they will hold the line and pound the Ukro Nazis as hard as they can it could be a genius move. The line between genius and madness is thin...same applies to defeat or glorious victory.

    We will see!

    Are there actually trustworthy organizations to support the rebels' fight against the Ukrainian Nazis and how could I transfer something from Germany? Has anyone had any experience or information?

    Fun fact...there is no really heavy fighting around Karkov, just a retreat. So maybe can be a trick to lure the Ukro Nazis out of Kharkov. I hope so!!!

    Reminds me of a ironic comment a while ago. Pentagram stated that Russia was using artillery and air strikes before sending in infantry in the Donbass. Reaction of one dude: "They´re cheating!" Laughing

    And there's no admin to kick Russia out of the server here either. As much as this is all to Washington's and London's clear chagrin, they'll just have to take it on the chin. They have no way of helping the Ukrainians in an artillery and cruise missile duel with Russia, and the hollywood dolittle fuckery ended with the disaster on Snake island.

    I've used Carl Gustaf. It's unguided. To make a precise hit, you should be within 200 meters (or have luck).

    According to the latest news Ukraine has reached the russian border near Ternova. Now Belgorod is in artillery range! And artillery shells are not really interceptable by air defense.

    To be honest, Udy is just as far away. That doesn't mean that Belgorod will be attacked now.

    The problem with withdrawing from Kharkov is that the Ukraine thinks it can win... morale will increase and more and more people will join the fight. In addition, the west will also believe that it can win the war against Russia and deliver more and better weapon systems.

    It's not just about the military here, the psychological factor must not be forgotten here. A retreat might save the lives of dozens of Russian soldiers, but many more will die as a result of Ukraine's moral victory. I don't know if they take that into account in the Russian General Staff? In addition I see Bucha 2.0 incoming.

    If theories about baiting Ukrainians outside of Kharkov are correct, we should get a response very soon. In the next day or two, at most.

    The Ukrs have already proven themselves to be the perfect zombie cannon-fodder, ready to fight to their last breath for the benefit of American and British interests.
    Hats off to them, admirable loyalty there. Just a few pats to the cheek now and again to remind them of how important they are and they'll remain in the fight.

    As for Kharkov, no the withdrawal is too small-scale to affect much, and no-one can seriously spin it as much of a victory.
    What does concern me is the fate of the villages Russia withdrew from. It's a betrayal, many of these Kharkov settlements actually support Russia. What I can say is that after Bucha, everyone friendly-disposed would have taken up the Russian offer this time around to evacuate temporarily, until Russia returns there.

    Yes really??? If you are a ukrainian fighter pilot for example....and I will tell you will die 98 % and the war is lost...would you fly the sortie? If I tell you your side will win for sure and the chance to die is only 20 %...would you fly? And in both cases the real situation is the same!

    If you compare Taliban with USA, only from technical view and numbers...you would bet not a single Cent on Taliban. Who won?

    Poland isn't going to go into the war, with their own troops.

    So that excuse for holding back is just a silly ass excuse.

    Also didn't you say Russians forces aren't taking any losses in their slow advance, you need to stop saying ridiculous things.

    If the Russians have these immense forces you speak of, they should have been committed by now or at least parts of them.

    Yet I see none of that

    The poles want to enter west Ukraine just like the US occupied northern Syria. They hope article 5 will discourage the Russians from destroying them. Given the pussyfooting of Russian politicians, that's kind of plausible. The poles will be safe as long as they have some US special forces embedded into their formation. This will make the Russians pussy out just like they pussies out in not bombing attacking Al Tanf and the YPG occupied oil fields.
