Russia-Ukraine war has begun
- Thread starter TheOriginalHappyGoat
- Start date
HAWK anti aircraft missiles were pulled out of storage and sent to Ukraine. This is the first video of one in action; the target is a Russian Orlan drone.
The Ukrainians hit the leading IFV with a drone, separating the infantry from the armor.
Maybe 24 is the number of Russian helicopters caught in the ATACMS strikes. Because the statement is obviously false
The mine roller and escorts leave the battlefield, leaving the infantry unit on its own
This is an excellent example of a source of misinformation that is unquestioned, believed, and shared on the WC. I’d say about 90% of what a few posters on this board believe about some topics here on the WC is as bogus as this was. It’s wise to assume just about everything posted by dbm and ftw is false for that reason - and they’re only two examples of several posters that are essentially living in an alternate reality.
How a baseless claim about Putin’s health spread from an unreliable Telegram account to TV news
An unverified claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin had suffered a heart attack is being amplified by news outlets and social media around the globe this week.apnews.com
I honestly didn't see much to learn from there from a US perspective. This deep in the war I would expect us to have air superiority over the battlefield and any armored column like that would get the treatment the Iraqis got trying to get out of Kuwait 30 years ago.
The ONLY deterrent the Russians have is CBRN against NATO. That and maybe cyber terrorism. In a conventional to conventional fight NATO would be in Moscow within a month.
Looks like the intensity of the last 2 weeks has decreased in Donbas
18 months into the war and this is what happens. The mine roller tank reached a tree line…turned around and went home.
The Russians have gained some territory on the north side of the Avdiivka settlement
You can see impact craters and tire tracks in the asphalt
And got a bunch of draftees slaughtered. I wonder how much longer the Russian populace will put up with this...
I think NATO without the U.S. could be in Moscow within a month.
He started behind their lines. I think we would have an initial cautious approach leading to a breakthrough and once that initial line of defense was broken it would be a rush to Moscow. (Look how long it is taking Israel to move on Gaza.)
While no shadows is a giveaway, if they had added shadows, depending on the time of day when observed, the shadows would be obviously wrong
With all the drone attacks, expending anything from older arsenal stores for point defenses seems cost effective to me.
A lot of the weaponry sent by the West, whether it be M113s about to be sold to scrap vendors for literally $1 each or Stinger anti aircraft missiles, are proving their worth in Ukraine
I wouldn't, but I don't think there has been a military in the history of the world with better logistics capability. I think we would be fine in the winter too.
Our old stuff probably works pretty well against drones. ICBMs, probably not so much.
Bet our generals got major wood watching this.
A conventional war in Europe where they can use all their toys they've been developing? Yes, please!
Credit to the Ukrainians for their bravery. They have our weaponry, but they're also still using a lot of old Soviet shit and making the best of it.
An obviously undertrained and unskilled operator.
He and the commanding officer who gave him the driving assignment should be court marshaled.
After the 1st 90 counterclockwise… put it in drive and do a second 90 back on the road.
All HD vehicles are recommended to employ spotters when backing up.
So we should expect news of a drive attack on Sevastopol in the near future.
