International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V11

[PEB]

Funny Putin is completely living in a bubble as Russian bloggers are saying completely opposite lol.

I didn't get from where this one pro russian blogger/ YT guy get that Ukr might have 2 tank brigades fully equipped with Leopard 2 tanks.
In best case, if openly posted stuff is correct, Ukr might had 85 Leopard 2 tanks.
Such number of tanks is insufficient for 2 tank brigades...

Some trolls had posted about 160 destroyed Leopard 2 while such number of them Ukr even doesn't have.

Even more MSTA-S bonked to oblivion. Effective GPS jamming remains absent.

Well, ofc there are 4 different forces used plus rus military.
Kremlin wants to reduce rus military losses.
Therefore they used wagnerites, these separatists from " republics " and now are attempting to use for this purpose also Kadirovites.

These separtists and wagnerites ofc aren't happy with this reality...
Additionally there is concurrence between " separatists ", kadirovtes and wagnerites about influence level they might get ....

 

[SandisLL]

Kadirovites too are long ago rumoured that usually are using mercenaries from remote areas not from Grozny in most dangerous tasks.
Maybe this is reality or maybe because in Grozny is difficult to hire mercenaries, in poor areas with high unemployment % it is easy....

They got a bit luck on the second one.

For ukraine will be very difficult to get some significant territorial gains. Russia had prepared to repel counteroffensive and is continuing invest more and more funds, manpower, technique and construction materials to build fortifications in occupied areas...

Ukr however looks that get some kind of know how how to destroy russian radioelectronic warfare stations : today 4 stations already are deNazified.
(Ukr also are claiming that today managed to hit 6 ammunition depots, these claims about ammo depots yet isn't possible to verify ....)

 

[Denter]

Might wanna check out the titles of all his videos.
It might be good to get more than just UA propaganda in this thread.
But that doesn't mean obvious Russian shilling is objective.

His videos from november where Russia had taken Bakhmut and destroyed all of the UAF 5 times over are a good laugh in hindsight tho

The Russians lie all the time about damage inflicted on the enemy, and the Ukranians lie about their losses. The Russians also do. Its why I'm trusting in the maps in this one. Both sides have clear territorial objectives, so the map moving is a pretty good proxy of who has the initiative.

Russian Soldiers Admit Military Is Shooting Its Own Members

Russian servicemen stand guard at the destroyed part of the Ilyich Iron and Steel Works in Ukraine's port city of Mariupol on May 18, 2022,

"In a video published Monday by Ukraine's security service, two Russian prisoners of war described how military units from their country shoot their own retreating troops.

The two men were reportedly captured while fighting in the war in Ukraine. One of the two POWs was identified by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) as a "machine gunner" in Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).

During an interview with SBU interrogators, the unnamed FSB operative said he was given orders to open fire on deserters in Ukraine.

"I stood on the second line and did not allow the 'Z-assault' forces to retreat. The order was to fire to kill in case they retreat," the Russian said, according to a translation by the Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform.

The SBU referred to the other captured man as a "Z-assault" unit soldier, who reportedly said he was afraid that his own comrades would kill him if he fled from battle. As a result, he decided to surrender to Ukrainian troops.

"After arriving there [at the position], we didn't get any instructions, they told us to get into the bush and hide from the 'birds.' These are quadcopters. In case we decided to retreat, we were told that there are blocking units behind us.... They would shoot anyone fleeing," the soldier said, according to Ukrinform.

Throwing your troops into a hail of gunfire is no way to win a war.

Zerg rush tactics indeed...

Not sure of what happened here. Interesting, I didn't think a tank would be able to climb over a M1224 MRAP.

Depending from distance.
These might had been cool target even for WW2 era artillery.
Or Grad, Uragan etc stuff...
Satellites + large & dense contentration in open field during daytime makes wonders of course.
Add here posible informants, drones etc ...
2 hours...no comments.

Hopefully when more guys hear of this they will surrender rather then fight or be shot by their own country. And I'm wondering if Putin is being told the whole truth and he is lying or he knows the truth and then tells fantastic lies. He says he doesnt need another mobilization and maybe because he is being told BS from his henchmen? Either way Russia going to lie to the very end.
