Huh? Can't even see inside them when they are damaged. That's weird. With the far superior Russian equipment you can check on the welfare of the crew from space after they've been hit.

Yowzers, hit a nerve [icon_lol2.gif]

2 points - $18 billion aint nearly enough anymore. And at this stage just 1 more heasline.

Also their remaining conventional forces were used up in the Kharkiv "counter offensive" so whats that, off by 2 months? Jeez, no pleasing some people.

That just means it doesn't take much to render it completely useless.

I wouldn't be surprised if all these new weapons became a huge logistical nightmare where they're forced to leave their equipment simolynbecause they don't have spare parts for dozens of types of hardware they have.

And Russians? Oh. It's better be blown up into smitherins or its still fixable lol.

Yeah, I'm sure the Russian design saves a lot of time and resources when it comes to casualty evacuations.

I like how you automatically assume just from an overhead picture that everybody made out alive thanks to the design of superior western hardware. Positive vibes only!

Because it might as well be full of dead bodies and look like swiss cheese like this (had to find a copy with blurred-out dead bodies):

Yeah, you have no idea what I see in pictures and video, but you're right, I don't see the point to sharing them here on Castanet. Again, not sure what your point is. Are you telling me Russian's are killing Ukrainians? Am I arguing with you on that point? The most liked comment under that video you posted, when translated from Russian says, "Lord, take care of the Russian children." Seems there are some sober Russians that haven't fallen for all the propaganda. Are you trying to fill their void?

Russian military power, real men, real strength... https://twitter.com/jabuttee/status/1549045805427867649

A grand total of 20 Bushmasters were shipped to Ukraine, so yeah, I see it a little differently than I view this overall Russian fiasco.

You seem pretty impressed with Russia. Have you ever considered making the move?



Anyways, positive vibes only... :smt045



Of course, you'll tell me the bridge is repaired. Reality, is it is being repaired. Putin hopes to have it done by early summer. Just in time too, because there's a beach party planned and Russia isn't invited.

Till then, the hunter is now the hunted and every night brings about another HIMARS o'clock.

The bridge over the Molochna Channel in Melitopol doesn't look right and smoking doesn't explain it.

So, that starts interfering with supplies going north of Melitopol. Not that there's anyone left in Melitopol to order supplies, or any lines of communication to the front north of there after the Command Post got taken out.

It appears a key logistics hub ( Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast, Russia) approximately 60 km from Ukraine was devastated by a careless smoker over night. There isn't a lot of information right now, but there appeared to be a big fire in the night and there appears to be a big hole in the ground today. https://twitter.com/i/status/1602578583217733635

This is what was hit...

Finally, Breaking News... frankly I wouldn't have believed this if I didn't see it for myself.

No Context Brits on twitter has published a video showing all the evidence that links WEF, George Soros and NATO to a plot to end Russia. The evidence was found in a secret underground office located at 150 Freston Rd.

Unbelievable, you've got to see this video, sorry guys...

That is one big hole. Bit bigger than the modified 40mm grenades dropped from Ukrainian drones that terrorize Russian troops on the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngMJ1MjUGPI

Thanks for the morning updates Drip. :up:

And yet, still managing to hold their own against the "mighty" Russian army. [icon_lol2.gif]

If nothing else, this "Special Military Operation" has shown the world that the Russian military is much more akin to the Keystone Cops than anything resembling a first or even second rate military power. If not for their nuclear arsenal the Russians would truly be an absolute laughing stock militarily.

Oh dear oh dear... we have been over this. Now the Russians can be 1 of 2 things

1 - Evil super villians bent on taking over the world, a clear and present danger etc
Or
2 - a bunch of goofs

I see you are leaning to #2, so by definition the Ukies are even more keystone as the Russkies are stomping them to dust.

US Set To Send Ukraine Patriot Missiles In Huge Escalation

Supplying them would help "bring the war to an end as soon as possible", Johnson said.

(sure will - but not in the way he thinks)

-If approved, this could be a tipping point in the conflict leading to direct confrontation between nuclear-armed powers given transfer of Patriots would mark the longest-range missiles sent to Ukraine thus far.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ ... escalation

Whatever it takes - to kill the west - forever. Then we can all live like the Europeans.

I think it was painfully obvious. Here are superior western weapons that are supposed to guarantee the victory against Russian savages. And here are those weapons destroyed. That's it.

No need to respond to me with your usual verbal diarrhea of seventeen youtube clips, pseudo expert opinions, ramblings about hardware design, twenty Twitter messages, Russian translated media and made up movie posters [icon_lol2.gif]

Evil super villains? Russians in general, no. Putin and his cronies, most definitely yes. Not like we would have to worry about them taking over the world however, they can't even take over a much smaller, weaker and poorer country. Very capable of destroying the world for sure, but no chance in taking much of anything over.

Bunch of goofs. Yes, indeed, excellent choice of words! The Russian military leadership could absolutely be described as a bunch of corrupt and incompetent goofs.

I really can't blame the general rank and file of the Russian military for their ineptness as they have been continuously lied to by their leadership and sent into a situation most of them want nothing to do with and with little or no training or even basic equipment. It's really no wonder their morale is in the toilet.

If the "Ruskies" were "stomping them to dust" as you claim, why are we are day 300 and something of this 4-day "Special Military Operation"? The truth is they are stomping each other to dust with massive loss of life on both sides.

Thanks for the laugh though. :130:

A bunch of goofs. The leader's a goof, the commanders are goofs, the propagandists are goofs, and the fanboys... well, I'm sure you know where I'm going with this. :smt045 Stomping them to the dust. Hardly, it's not the Ukrainians that are burning their soldiers at night in garbage dumps to hide the losses. No, that's the goofs. Ukrainians mourn each and every loss.
