News About The Ukraine War

[cycleguy2300]

They do the same with Ukrainian equipment, and it pretty clearly shows the disparity of losses between the two. This war has been far more costly to Russia, both in total losses and in percentage of their total arsenal.

The reporting bias (visibility) of Ukrainian losses *should* skew their losses to be reported at closer to the actual loss rate too. I.e. If a russian tank tosses its turret a ways back from the front, it more likely there will not be an available photo to confirm the kill, while it is presumably more likely available should Ukraine lose equipment.

A great breakdown of some inaccurate statements made during an interview.

Posting here too because of the FACTS provided.

20y married is an accomplishment

I'm not sure how this applies to the Ukraine war, but it's an accomplishment, depending on why they have stayed together. Good for them. Maybe they will be buried together in eternity.

More tire "protection" on RuAFcombat aircraft. This might break up the outline or IR signature enough to make targeting more difficult but...all it would take is one flare to set all those tires on fire.

Russian Su-34 Strike-Fighter Seen Covered In Tires

An image emerged on social media of a Russian Su-34 Fullback covered in tires similar to how they've been placed on bombers recently.

The photos I saw show the tu95 bombers without propellers... rather odd all the way around

Russians do most of their maintenance and repair work on the tarmac according to the article about the Su-34 (or the tweets linked in it).

How interesting.

Yeah, I'm sure their maintenance troops love it...I can't imagine trying to overhaul a jet engine outdoors in a Russian winter. But it fits with the old Soviet doctrine of individuals being expendable which seems to have carried over right to the current day.

Ukrainians hit 2 ruzzian warships at Sevastopol, maybe with Storm Shadow missiles. The submarine hit carried Caliber missiles and had been used to attack Ukrainian cities, so a little payback.

Ukraine strikes Russian submarine and landing ship in audacious assault on Crimea naval base

British Storm Shadow missiles may have been used in the assault, while Ukraine's military said its forces had struck naval targets and port infrastructure in Sevastopol.

I doubt any claims on either side, but if it makes people happy...ok.

You have to be pretty deep in the rabbit hole to dismiss this attack. Ukriane has been shown to be generally accurate and not prone to wild exaggeration or misrepresentation.

Here are some publicly avail photos of the target of the attack and it's results.

No, just insightful.

Agreed.

I'm going to leave this thread as is for a few hours to let folks see the sort of content that belongs in the other thread.

It looks like the clean-up that I thought I was going to have to do in the next few days or weeks is coming much sooner.

Thanks for all you do Ben.

Here are a couple more photos showing the damage.

Are there any predictions from reliable sources on how long each side can last?

Check youtube for
"Covert Cabal"
&
"Perun"

Both dive into how long the waring parties can last. Both can last a long time so long as Ukraine continues to get support from the west.

russia has substantial amounts of equipment, but it is old and far from be able to be used due to years/decades of corruption and neglected maintenance.

Similar story for munitions and artillery... lots in stock, but the readiness of the guns is in question and the logistics of storing ammo at the front is more difficult with HIMARS' range.

I thought these were interesting. Vermillion is a contractor that had hands on experience training Ukrainian forces. Conversation centers around firearms but discussions of tactics, strategy, conditions on the ground (at the time he was there), etc, are all interlaced.





@benenglish I'm new to this thread but I believe this posts falls in line with its parameters. If not, do what you gotta do.

This post might as well just regurgitate this post.

Last Sept an SU27 launched two missles at a British plane in international airspace, missing twice. Sounds like the РФ pilot was a bit over eager

Over eager, under trained and unprofessional.

More info on the idiot Russian pilot who tried to shoot down the British RC-135. Luckily he was armed with high-quality Russian munitions - one miss, one failed launch.

This, however, is a thread in News Articles. I hope we can all make posts that belong in a subforum with that name (broadly interpreted) and mostly refrain from writing things that don't.

It's not a hard concept...and this doesn't fit:

What did I miss?

Ukraine became the first country in history to hit an enemy submarine with cruise missiles without having special anti-submarine warfare capabilities | gagadget.com

The Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have anti-submarine aircraft like the P-8A Poseidon or P-3 Orion, let alone their own submarines. However, 13 September 2023 was another important day in history.
