Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-23 and Invasion

[Crazy_Ivan80]

Another problem with attacking NATO is it seems that NATO has much better ability to counter-attack.  Right now it seems questionable that Ukraine would have the stomach to move on Donbas even if things continue working out superbly for them (a big if), because attacking is much different from ambushing.

Oh yeah? What are you basing that (the Ukrainian reluctance to counter attack) on? Not that I'm disagreeing, just curious.

A few weeks ago i posted something about An interview i saw with one of the high up leaders of Ukraine where they started that they'll try to kick the russians out of their country. All of their country. That was at a time Kiev was still under siege. So i'm guessing they have stomach all right.

Ok, they have stomach to kick the Russians out, but do they feet to do that?

Shouldn't there be a hull attached to that thing?

There was.

It looks like the Tech Priest is pissing off the machine-spirits by not maintaining the Venerable T-55 properly.

I'm seeing disreputable papers reporting the Admiral of the Russian Black Sea fleet was arrested.
Good news if true. Sure to be crippling for Russian morale.

Kinda lovely to serve in a country where failure gets you arrested, rather than just sacked.

Dammit I want one!

Nice looking stamp.

I doubt there has ever been an official stamp created before of someone flipping the finger ...

A step up from working at SPECTRE though.

The example of Admiral Byng's hanging crippled the British navy in the century that followed.

Another dead Russian general. Apparently happened days ago but wasn't reported, he's been buried today in Russia.

According to the reporter this army is operating in Mariupol.

Social media report, uncertain veracity but reasonable sounding:

Russia's Uralvogonzavod shuts down production. It will no longer be able to assemble any of T-72 tank (main RU tank) or newer T-90 & T-14 tanks (Armata). Reason: lack of imported components. It means more saved UA lives, is direct result of Western sanctions which should continue.

[DGuller]

On the less positive news, not only has the rate of Russian general deaths slowed, it has even gone negative for a time.  One of the killed lieutenant generals evidently came back to life.    At least they bagged another major general recently as some sort of compensation.  That one is buried, so one way or the other he's probably going to stay dead.

Looks like there will be plenty of chances to add more Russian generals to the pile DGuller. War ain't stopping anytime soon.

Let's keep the corpse photos to a minimum.
