Judging by some of the videos surfacing, these "probing" attacks are turning pretty disastrous for ukrainians. Lots of destroyed, abandoned western IFVs, like Maxxpros. Just like russians, driving into minefields and pounded by artillery.



As I said, western armor won't magically make you immune to mines and artillery. Russians had plenty of time to dig trenches and mine everything. And just rushing against those defensive lines will not work. Without strong air support against artillery I don't have very high expectations (saddly) for this offensive.

Putin has to die. I want him to. I sincerely do. Sometimes a person is just better off dead. Not talking about his officials, his troops or the people of Russia. HIM. He needs to fall out of a window.

Every man / woman that has helped him needs to meet this same fate. All his officials allow this to happen.

Do any of them have a choice? I am sure many are as twisted and corrupt as he is, but you...cut the head of the snake and all.

Well, you're quoting a member of the Twitteratti who thinks infantry and aircover would help defend against mines...

Don't be dense. I think you are smart enough to understand what's being pointed out here. You can't demine when enemy artillery can pound you without any response. It's all fun and games when russians do such suicide rushes, but ukrainians answering with the same? Quite concerning if you ask me.

He is the same idiot that claimed the last UA offensive was a failure... then they liberated Kherson and kicked out of Kharkiv Oblast.

Yeah, I'd wait for more sources.

Risk is someone even more hardling takes over, or you get another Yugoslavia were ethnic groups all turn on eachother.

Yeah, but can you explain why are ukrainians doing what russians are doing? Dumb suicide rushes.

 

[FunkMiller]

Enough is enough. A massive response that kills as many Russians as possible is required now.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Yeah, but can you explain why are ukrainians doing what russians are doing? Dumb suicide rushes.

For starters I can tell that from the media he's posted you can't know how many vehicles were lost, only one was smoking, so who knows what really happened.

Second, if this was an attempt to make russians reveal their artillery positions, at least they sent the soldiers inside armored vehicles instead of sending them empty handed like russia does. Because if the whole area is mined, anyone attempting to demine will be blown by artillery so you have to take care of that first.

 

[Wildebeest]

I'd hope something like this would set more of the world against them, but realistically if people are not against them already it is reasonable for them to think they could do anything and be unaccountable.

 

[Liljagare]

You seen the quality of those pictures? How on earth did you identify what is in them?

All everyone else is seeing are potato quality pictures, meanwhile, the RuSSkies claim they destroyed 52 tanks and killed 1500 UA troops.

When there are destroyed Leopards or Strf 90's etc, you will see high quality pictures blasted out by RuSSia.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

How many of those sims will keep telling themselves this is fine? 200k and still going up and thinking they are winning, this is only 1 person's fault. Is Putler more important to 200k dead people?

 

[Liljagare]

Hope they can keep on going..

Don’t bother. They’re either supportive of their ‘hard man’s’ actions, or happily brainwashed. None give a shit about what their country is doing to Ukraine.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Reports of first leopards and bradleys being spotted and destroyed. Russians even released some blurry pictures so I guess there is some truth to it.

Seems they drove into a minefield... Im going to guess the russians mined the fk out of the frontline.

[FunkMiller]

I'm stunned by how many people still look at individual Twitter accounts (see above for Ropcke's sensationalist bullshit) and believe what they say, even when nobody else is saying the same thing. There's so much deliberate disinformation flying about that you can't take anything at face value, until it's been corroborated by multiple sources - ones that are reliable.

 

[winjer]

A very poignant take on the Nova Kakhovka dam and about what Musk did to help Russian trolls on Twitter.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Got to question why Russia would blow a damn that floods Russian occupied land, cuts off water to Crimea and it's nuclear power plant, and remove the natural barrier that's keeping Ukrainian tanks out...

Saddle Ukraine with a massive humanitarian crisis while it tries to mount a counter offensive. Further secure Russian flanks to free up soldiers to reenforce elsewhere. Permanently disable another piece of Ukrainian infrastructure to try and damage morale. Many reasons.

 

[winjer]

Because flooding that whole region prevents Ukraine from attacking south of the dam.
And Russia has no problems in destroying what they control, if it hurst the enemy. Remember when Russia burn Moscow, just to hurt Napoleon.

Besides, blowing up a damn is not easy. It's possible to damage parts of it with bombers, something that Ukraine doesn't have.
But to blow it up like it did, it's necessary to be inside it and place a lot of explosives. Only the Russians could do this.

And this will also hurt Ukraine's agricultural production. Ukraine might soon turn from being an exporter of grain, to being an importer.
All this damage shows that Russia is very willing to cause another Holodomor.

Those waters will recede and they can turn off the water flow at the dam further upstream...

Anyway, was just a thought...

Those waters will leave most of South Ukraine bogged in mud.
This really limits the places where Ukraine can attack.

Some folks reckon that it will take several years to remove all the mud/debris/flotsam/sediment from affected regions.
