Southfront.org is a good source for those. The rooks have been in action too, amazing footage.

Lots of vids out there if you like that kind of stuff.

Why do I keep hearing "tonight is the night of nights"?

Never mind, I have a pretty good idea why, but... bet southfront doesn't.

Nobody does, is that Elton John or something?

[capleton]

I thought Western media said a couple months ago that Russia was running out of weapons. Oops wrong again

Nope. I knew it wouldn't be covered in the Russophile history lessons. Colonel Robert Sink, Regimental Commander, 506th P.I.R, 101st Airborne Division - June 5, 1944.

Tonight is the night of nights.

Tomorrow throughout the whole of our homeland and the Allied world the bells will ring out the tidings that you have arrived, and the invasion for liberation has begun.

The hopes and prayers of your dear ones accompany you, the confidence of your high commanders goes with you.

...And repeated June 7, 2023, but you'll likely hear more about that in a few days.

Groan, a WW2 reference, figures. About the only parallel here is the DDay airborne landings were also a disaster

^ That's the Canadian government cheering for war with blood on their hands.

Now they say it's 350,000 dead Ukrainians. So my prediction of 500,000 - the magic number - dead men in Ukraine
looks about right.

Whoever cheered for Zelly a little over a year ago - is now able to celebrate:
... a hell of a lot of profit for the few war pigs. And half a million dead people.
Funny how Canada is such a loser they can't put out fires in their own country because they shoved $5 billion into the Blackrock slaughter.

RFK Jr tells the truth -Warmongers are scum.

The sovereign nation of Cuba is making their own choices!

I'm sure the US will respect their sovereignty and allow a Chinese spy base 90 miles off their coast.

...right???

[seewood]

That would be expected. Cuba is destitute. Much of their revenue is from tourism.
Pretty sure the US has something similar in Taiwan, Guam, Australia, ... *bleep* for tat.

Anyway, that has absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine;

Was the Russians blowing up the dam a war crime? https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023 ... -war-crime

Snip : By the time of the Vietnam War, such blunt warfare was frowned upon, and by 1977, the majority of the international community was ready for what is known as Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. Two new rules attempted to keep acts of warfare from being excessively inhumane, disproportionate and/or indiscriminate.

First, with regard to the environment, it was decided that: “Care shall be taken in warfare to protect the natural environment against widespread, long-term and severe damage. This protection includes a prohibition of the use of methods or means of warfare which are intended or may be expected to cause such damage to the natural environment and thereby to prejudice the health or survival of the population.”

Second, in terms of “works or installations containing dangerous forces, namely dams, dykes and nuclear electrical generating stations”, these areas “shall not be made the object of attack, even where these objects are military objectives, if such attack may cause the release of dangerous forces and consequent severe losses among the civilian population”.

The only time that this special protection against attacks on dams and dykes does not apply is if the installation is effectively being used to support military operations and if attacking it is the only way to terminate that support. There is no evidence that the Nova Kakhovka dam was being used to support military actions.

So why the hell were the Ukrainians shootin at it

By this logic blowing up Nordstream is a war crime too.

[gertlush]

Seeing the first burnt out Leopards and Bradleys... oh well, more where that came from... or is there?

This counter attack is 2-3 days in and already a disaster.

[seewood]

Seeing the first burnt out Leopards and Bradleys.

Bradleys were made of aluminium, easy to knock out. A Carl Gustav shoulder launch can punch through them.

compared the Bradley’s 2-4cm of steel and aluminium laminate.

Leopards, not so much but definitely doable.

The Ukrainians are going into lines that will have heavy Russian defensive positions, Russian pre fire ranging and plenti of anti tank mining and obstacles. If the Ukrainians don't go about this properly,( perhaps a long term artillery barrage?) they will be losing a ton of equipment and lives.

Uh, ya, I didn't think they would attack, for exactly this reason. No arty, no air support, no cover = slaughter.

But but... NATO tactics and training

Speculation is thats why Zalushny got sidelined (where is that guy?) He didn't agree with Zmans "Fuhrer in Bunker its all goin down with me" mentality.

Ukrainian propaganda: - Significant headway! Belgorod is almost liberated! Putin is panicking!

Reality: Scrap metal galore continues. Leopards, MaxxPros, Bradleys...



Counteroffensive is off to a good start!
