magnkarl Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Next week marks the third wave of mobilisation in Ukraine, meaning that another 100.000 men are done training and will be deployed, on top of the 4-500.000 already deployed. This wave will be trained with western rifles, have US equipment and be rested + motivated to stop a genocide. Every day that passes pushes the manpower balance well into Ukraine’s court. 100 artillerymen are due after training in the US, and 40 in France. The kit they’re getting deployed with out ranges Russia’s best artillery. The counter battery fire from these systems should trash Russian artillery wherever they are.

I guess that their factories are a little harder to sabotage and it's currently thought they don't have all the components for manufacturing APCs right now anyway but if Ukraine is responsible it's certainly a shot across the bows of the paranoid state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the Russians have obviously won a few rounds against the West by weaponizing social media (Brexit, Trump + division.) Maybe the folks at the good ol' CIA are winning a few rounds with old school conventional tic-tacs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 If I was Ukraine I'd be planning some fairly big counter attacks on May 9th. Putin is likely to push mass mobilisation in some form on this day, and if Ukraine can broadcast that they've retaken say Kherson while the parade is going it'd probably show Russians that joining the army might be worth opposing at the risk of their own lives. Even if Russia was to mobilise, it takes months of training to get to a level that wouldn't just be cannon fodder. It takes up to 12 months to train even on a simple platform like the T-72, and that is if you rush the training. Russia isn't fixing the hole they've dug themselves into.

bickster Posted May 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 1, 2022 That is Russia trolling the west though and should be used as evidence of anything. The black figures in the circles are numbers and clearly indicate each row of the soldiers, 5,6,7,8... (all visible) They have no significance other than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't seen Chernobyl the lost tapes have you. 31 people died related to the disaster according to the Russians, the rest just had radiophobia. The figure was actually closer to 200k. They have always lied beyond reason through out history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted May 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2022 In the comments someone has shown that those pics are Russian police cadets, and when you see the pictures in a natural light they look nothing like Nazi outfits and aren't even black. And the armbands seem like temporary additions maybe just indicating the marching rows or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
