    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    David Axe on Forbes said maybe 4 aircraft destroyed. Brilliant work if so along with the ammunition fuel and air defence systems. Apparently they used ATACMS, the type with longer range, that basically has 3000 grenade type munitions in each missile. The shorter range ones have 300, but are...

    They certainly need them. A main power station was destroyed today. About time Schulz provided them with long range missiles. Fear of escalation ? Jesus, they'll freeze this winter at this rate

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I posted a year ago exactly this. Europe should be giving all they've got to Ukraine. They are the front line, and they've willing soldiers. If they fall, we're all vulnerable to Russia's next move. They need to be defeated here, and their conventional capabilities set back decades. Ukraine has...

    Indeed, when you have to murder political opponents in prison, arrest people laying flowers and stop anyone for running against you in an election where the result is a foregone conclusion it makes you look the very opposite of a 'strong leader'

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Quite a long article, but detailed observations about recent activity and possible future movements on multiple fronts. Not particularly optimistic sadly, but no obvious prospect of major Russian advances either. The Dnipro bridgehead seems the most positive, challenge obviously is to move...

    Interesting piece from David Axe about Russian losses around Avdiivka, and how unsustainable they are. Bit of positivity...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    The one report I read only mentioned one, so looks like a bit of progress from that already, good news. Any idea when the F-16s will be operational?

    First Ukrainian armoured vehicle spotted on the left bank of the Dnipro I saw earlier. Sorry was on my desktop so can't share. Looks like they establishing their bridgehead on that side of the river. Be massive if they could move numbers over and heavy equipment as not far to Crimea from there...

    Surreal, clear to anyone with half a brain cell that Russia, if it even understands what Human Rights are, has absolutely zero respect for them

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Exactly. Find it difficult to comprehend how badly the Russians have played this tactically compared to the Ukrainians. Russia have used thousands of long range and guided missiles against Ukrainian infrastructure or just randomly at residential areas. There have been a few claims of military...

    Also the Commanding Officer of the Zaporizhia front, and perhaps other senior army officers. Doesn't sound like a coincidence to me. Great job Sorry, severely wounded, not dead, but out of action at least, according to Business Insider

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Said this months ago. The West should give everything they possibly can as quickly as possible. Ukraine are fighting this war, that, if successful, our conventional forces will never have to fight. They are not asking for our soldiers, just their weapons. We have no conceivable conventional...

    Potential breach in the Sorovkin Line by the 82nd Air Assault brigade, with Stryykers and Marders reported moving beyond Dragons teeth and other Anti Tank defences. Could be hugely significant if true. Only infantry had breached these defences up to now. Reported in the Telegraph and Business Week.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Sean Bell on Sky News just now seemed very confident the Poland Ukraine spat will be settled swiftly once Zelensky gets back from New York. The obvious logic being that it is in Polands interest for Ukraine to prevail because if they fall, it will be Poland next
