Their numbers were originally thought to be high and propaganda. However, multiple sources have analyzed them. Based on visually confirmed losses (which will always be conservative) they seem plausible. Even the western intelligence numbers which purposely err on the low side weren't much different. Intercepted Russian conversations seem to reinforce extremely heavy losses and a Russian wounded to dead ratio closer to WWI numbers than modern warfare expectations.


I think a lot of those numbers are at least in the ballpark. However there just isn't that much evidence of aircraft getting shot down to match those numbers and there's lots of incentive to document those losses. Numbers of aircraft shot down is something that has been notoriously greatly exaggerated by many countries through many conflicts.

Never get tired of these. Based on flight time, likely shot from 4km/2.5 miles away.

It is an intentional display. The whole "from humble plain beginnings to ample mounds of glory" spiel is meant to distract as he bounces in juxtaposition between simple and foxy. Don't be beguiled by the intentional boob.

ETA: Seriously though, that guy is crafty. There's quite a few reasons why he's not vacationing with Ceausescu in Hell.

Another 8 wheeled amphibious armoured personnel carrier with a clean title and in mint condition!

OK, maybe a few dents, scratches and suspicious red stains, but nothing that can't be buffed out.

He says that he's shocked with that Ural, that they traveled for 10 kms and that he almost spat out his guts in this f* cking Ural. He says that he almost f *cking died here. And it's 3km left to go.

He proposed to imagine how much thousands of kilometers orcs traveled on that ***** And that he can imagine how many of them died in this ****ing Ural bcs of that. And he said that's already a victory!
Seriously that truck/ural/mlrs is shaking more than a broken blender.

But deep inside you know they're super happy with their latest trophy.

Probably one of the most rawest footage I've seen, though the smoke and black/white screen blurs things.

Pretty sure the first few shots absolutely tore through multiple Russians, spraying black/red mist.

Russia would have been wise to remember two of the wisest of old American proverbs. "Don't start none, won't be none", and "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog".

As I think about this, that depot is roughly 100km into Russia. I'm not seeing how Ukrainian missiles or aircraft evade air defense and detection to pull that off. I'm voting sabotage op or false flag. Most sensible means by which this would occur, IMO. Hell, I wouldn't put it past Belarusian saboteurs either considering the steady escalation of their operations since the beginning of the war.

Really? West Virginia? Ok, then. Didn't see that coming.

"The transfer of armored vehicles to Ukraine was announced by the Governor of the State of West Virginia Jim Justice.

The equipment will be handed over at the request of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine."

Sabotage of Russian assets is starting to ramp up, the Ukrainians are fixing to go nuts on Russian assets, I think we will soon see some very important Russian assets blown up, probably even terrorist type events to get back at Russia, Russia is absolutely destroying some Ukraine cities, the Ukraine will not soon forget and they will get back at Russia … I hope the Ukrainians let them have it

These guys are having way too much fun. Will have no hearing left by the end of this, though.

One of those fires may not be (just?) an oil depot. Unconfirmed, but possibly a military target.

Ok, I feel compelled to write this. This thread is what I read in the evening and again in the morning. As a former battery commander in Germany from 1985-1989, I have a keen interest in how this is going to turn out. I hope the Russians get everything that's coming to them. Things have not changed in 37 years.

They're probably sending your equipment to the front lines

If you had asked me 3 months ago who would be starting a war, Russia or China, I would have been dead wrong…

This is the first place Putin's $640 billion dollar piggy bank should be confiscated and spent.
