They are breaking Vlad's army where it want's to fight, they lose more men on advance and are vulnerable then. If Vlad wants to feed units in piecemeal before they are ready for an overwhelming attack it's so much the better for the Ukrainians, who can destroy them as new supplies and arms are arriving. It's called reinforcing failure. The weapons and ammo they are screaming for, is not just to defend themselves, but to destroy Vlad's army in Ukraine. If they wait to blow up railway bridges in Russia to cut the Russians off we will know their intentions. When they turn on the south they will blow the bridge at Kerch and trap the Russian forces there, meanwhile he's pouring more shit in. When the flow starts to go the other way, back to Russia they attack the bridge at Kerch. Vlad can't replace his loses in equipment and especially technology and will need to reform the army from top to bottom, but there are problems with this for dictatorships

Defeat them in the east first though and when they try to retreat blow the railway bridges to prevent their escape, even go into Russia to do it. Destroy their fuel logistics with drone, artillery and guerilla attacks to immobilize his equipment and force them to either destroy it or give it to the Ukrainians.

They say the Ukrainians have 40,000 troops fighting in the Donbass, plus let's say another 60,000 in reserve and fighting there and on the eastern front. The regular Ukrainian army was almost 200K before the war and many reservists, who severed since 2014 are back in again, also they've been training and equipping more units. Then there are reserves of which there are several different kinds, but they can hold defensive positions in inactive sectors and do other tasks that free up regular troops. So right now I'd say the Ukrainians have at least 300K regular army personnel mostly combat troops. So where are the other 200K troops in the Ukrainian army? The way I have it figured they have about a third of their soldiers deployed in the east along with local reserve units. So far they lost probably around 20K killed and wounded and the Russians 3 times that or more. The Ukrainians have a waiting list of people wanting to join the army and they try to pay bribes to join the territorials, the Russians are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

well some kind of deal was struck....what it is, no one will know.....they need 300 and 600's on a mass production.....

Production is slow, but America had a stock pile of 7,000 I believe and Turkey and the UK make them under license. I think with the addition of some more arms and lot's of ammo the Ukrainians might win this war by summer. A lot of shit they signed up for won't arrive for awhile, it's for the second round, if there is one. I said the Ukrainians could win the war in the sense of ejecting Russia from all of it's territory or most of it, the fighting won't end then though. Vlad's ass hole is pretty sore now but it will be raw by summer, so unless someone kills the fucker expect no peace, but a lot of pain for Vlad and the Ukrainians too.

Russia and China nightmare as UK scientists analyse secrets of Putin's prized fighter jet
BRITISH and American scientists are analysing the secret long-range targeting mechanism of Russia's most advanced fighter jet, sources confirmed last night.
And their findings could make a "huge difference" in how the West conducts air-to-air combat with both Russia and China. Ukrainian troops shot down the Sukhoi Su-35S using short-range missiles two weeks ago. Specialists with the Ukrainian Air Force were able to retrieve vital and hitherto classified elements from its burnt-out remains and informed British intelligence.

Do you mean Scotland?

The Romans never conquered Ireland. They did not even try. The closest they came was 20 years after the invasion of Anglesey, when Agricola, another governor, eyeballed the north coast of Ulster.

However, despite several invasions, the Romans never managed to hold the land north of Hadrian’s Wall for long. Trouble elsewhere in the empire, the unforgiving landscape and native resistance meant that Scotland was never brought fully under the administration of the Roman province of Britannia

But most of the regions have not been too keen on the US as the CIA has propped up dictators against the people. So it is a case of the devil you know as compared to the devil you do not know telling you the devil you know is doing bad things.

It's a bit of an old post, but both my wife and I work with a number of eastern europe/Russian people. It is really interesting to see who follows what news. A pretty decent chunk put faith in RT reporting. The doctors my wife works with and their families all got the vaccine and don't buy the bs; the nurses all thought America was lying and refused to take it. Love me some sociology.

What's odd though is that other ethnic groups don't seem to do that. I know a bunch of Chinese and Indian people...they aren't putting faith in their news media over ours. *China in particular, haven't really explicitly discussed it with Indians but they all like the British TV so figured they watch that news.

Liberal democracies also have populations who count and vote! Just like in Ukraine, what the public thinks and feels makes a big difference. The media just informs the people in many cases and the governments go along, nobody needs to lead public opinion on this one, we can see it with our own eyes. Shit, even most republicans can see the difference between right and wrong on this issue!

Vladimir Putin test-fires an ICBM which can destroy France in one shot

Vladimir Putin ordered the test firing of his Sarmat RS-28 'Satan II' missile - which is capable of carrying enough nuclear warheads to destroy France in a single strike.

I think Bill Browder has the best take on Putin, he is partly driven by the heartland bullshit, but it's greed and being corrupted by power that drives him. He says Putin is worth $200 billion, then go get it and give it to Ukraine.

Vlad started out with 170 undermanned Battalion Tactical Groups (BTG) total, he committed 100 to120 of them to Ukraine already. Of the 850 or so people in a BTG only about 230 soldiers are combat troops, the rest operate tanks and various other support vehicles and equipment. The BTGs are severely undermanned and about a quarter or more of them are conscripts, they don't have nearly enough troops or trucks to support them.

According to some sources the Russians have lost half of their tanks already and over 1000 fighting vehicles besides that. Some estimates put their number of dead at close to 20,000 troops with 3 to 4 times that wounded enough to be out of the fight. Let's be generous and say they lost 60,000 troops so far, though I suspect it is much higher. Vlad started out with a little over 200K, lost 60K troops already and before the month is out, he might lose another significant number, Say 100,000 troops killed and wounded, about half the number he started with. The heavy arms from NATO have only started to arrive and Guerilla safari season is yet to start, but they will with the greening of the undergrowth and trees.

Ukraine has an army of well over 300K these days and a reserve of a couple of million at least, they have a waiting list for the army of volunteers and are training, equipping and forming new battalions weekly in the west. Meanwhile heavy weapons and ammo are flowing in from the west along with some advanced weapons and aircraft, more will be forthcoming. IMHO it is best for the west and Ukraine to defeat Vlad and bleed him white ASAP, eject him from Ukraine and keep building up Ukraine militarily and economically. Start a pipeline into Europe from the east when the Russians are gone and start developing the gas resources. Vlad won't have much when it's over, he might have a big army, but no equipment or much ammo left to equip them with in a technologically and economically crippled economy and a country filled with uneducated morons.

What Putin’s past tells us about where Russia’s war goes next

Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, but financier Bill Browder said he’s tried to warn governments about Vladimir Putin’s corruption and violence for years longer. Judy Woodruff asks Browder about his new book, “Freezing Order,” which details what he learned and the risks he faced exposing a money laundering ring tied to Putin, and what that tells us about where the war in Ukraine goes next.

Why isn't anyone talking about...
The Drone Gap!
Best Combat Drone 2021 - Why Not of USA

It goes on to say, the Russians are ahead of the USA! However, The tuber only considered the Stratigic, heavy metel versions. What about Switchblades?
Putting the recon at the Platoon level where it can pull the infantry's fat out of the fire for couple
hundred bucks is a good investment.
Spending a few billion on Total Global Dominance might be appealing to a few though.
