Ukraine war mega thread

[Troy]

The rail connection has not been able to take the heavy carriages since the last strike. The structure is compromised by the diesel fire that ensued after the first attack.

Yes, I forgot, it's only open for light traffic.

Damage report to Putin stated that road bridge is damaged in both dorections and there is also damage to the rail track.

Have a look and know more.

Sounds fair and non-propaganda

[bsnub]

The useful idiot posts up BS propaganda as usual. It is claiming that a weapon which has not even been delivered yet is flopping.



This is a Russian founded channel, they explain why the glsdb missile is failing in Ukraine. Delivery of the missile has not yet begun.

You bozos are always good for a laugh. Things are constantly going boom in the occupied territory and in ruzzia proper. Ukraine just blew a major ammo dump in Crimea with the weapons your videos are claiming do not work. BTW, ruzzia has shot done one Storm shadow. Ammo dump goes boom...

^ Did you watch the video?

It was referring to the jamming of HIMARS and JDAM, both of which are used in Ukraine. The GPS is being jammed and reducing the effectiveness. Both systems have been adapted to counteract the jamming but only until Russian equipment adapts.

The problem is real and not propaganda.

I guess it is GPS spoofing, time being the easiest, to bring missile off target.

The problem is real and not propaganda.

The video is propaganda from a ruzzian source, and it falsely claims GLSDB was being defeated, and it is not even in country yet.

I have listened to a number of experts discuss this on Twitter spaces as well as some podcasts I listen too. My understanding is that the ruzzian gps jamming is crude and not effective, sort of like cutting butter with a chainsaw. From the amount of deep strikes that are getting through ruzzian ADA, I would say the issue is being addressed.

Follow the twitter link I posted and see a very large ammo dump go up just today in Crimea. This stuff is happening constantly.

2,000 people from the surrounding area have been evacuated to safety. The residents of four towns are affected.

"Special Operation Ejection Seat"
The Russian MoD has begun to remove commanders from some of the Russian military’s most combat effective units and formations and appears to be accelerating this effort. The recent dismissal of 58th Combined Arms Army Commander (CAA) Colonel General Ivan Popov and the reported dismissal of 106th Guards Airborne (VDV) Division Commander Major General Vladimir Seliverstov prompted further discussions of other alleged recent dismissals and arrests.[1] Russian sources amplified an alleged audio message from personnel of the 7th Guards Mountain VDV Division on July 15 in which the personnel claimed that the Russian military command dismissed 7th VDV Division Commander Major General Alexander Kornev in early July.[2] Russian sources also claimed that Russian authorities arrested 90th Tank Division (Eastern Military District) Commander Major General Ramil Ibatullin as well as two unspecified deputies on an unspecified date.[3] A prominent Kremlin-affiliated milblogger suggested that the Russian military command is also planning to dismiss the 31st VDV Brigade Commander, who is reportedly Colonel Sergei Karasev.[4] Russian sources speculated that the Russian MoD may be preparing to arrest VDV Commander Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky.[5] ISW has not observed confirmation of Seliverstov’s and Kornev’s dismissals nor of Ibatullin’s arrest, although these claims follow a pattern similar to that of previous claims of command changes that have proven true.

Milley: It Would Take Years, Billions of Dollars for Ukraine to Match Russian Airpower

13 hours ago

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) –

"It would take years and billions of dollars for the West to help Ukraine match the Russian fleet of fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft, train Ukrainian pilots and facilitate the necessary maintenance, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said on Tuesday.

"Ten F-16s are $2 billion. So, the Russians have hundreds of fourth and fifth-generation airframes. If they [the Ukrainians] are going to try to match the Russians, one for one or even two to one, you are talking about a large number of aircraft," Milley said during a press briefing.

"That's going to take years to train the pilots, years to do the maintenance and sustainment, years to generate that degree of financial support to do that. You're talking way more billions of dollars than has already been generated."Instead of supplying Ukraine with expensive aircraft, Milley suggests focusing on air defenses, on the blocking and tackling sort of offensive combined arms maneuvers, i.e., artillery, as well as on long- and short-range artillery.

On Sunday, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States will permit its European partners to begin training Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets and provide the necessary tools for that purpose, while the timeline for when the jets will reach Ukraine still remains unclear.

Earlier in July, Pentagon’s Joint Staff Director for Operations Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims II said that the conditions on the battlefield in Ukraine were not "ideal" for using F-16 fighter jets given that Russia continues to possess air defense capabilities."

Both are expendables

We'll see. They haven't even declared war or mobilized yet.

So the 'Volkssturm' seems a bit down the road.


For the west, the ukrainians seems to be....expendable though.

[HermantheGerman]

Volkssturm at its best, ask her. I think she wants some Wiener Brot now.

Shit life, aint it ?

Wonder what the going rate is in Russia, to being let off, when conscripted ?

In Ukraine it's 7000 euros these day.

Very reasonable in my opinion
