Little troll, you have a reading comprehension issue: Branko mentioned the Excalibur, used by HIMARS which is only used for the expensive vehicles - occasionally to kill masses with cluster munition. Please, educate yourself.



Actually, Excalibur is guided 155mm shell, Himars uses completely different (and way more expensive) ammunition

And yes, Ukrainians use them too:

LOL You make a claim that "a 155MM shell is 300 US" Branko corrects you by citing a full sentence from Business Insider, which estimates the price of different shells including the one you mentioned 155-mm shell at $3,000. Then instead of thanking him for correcting your blatant mistake (or being caught on a lie) your reply with some irrelevant comment about that other shell? Do you have reading comprehension issues that you really don't understand Branko's citation, or you're just incapable of admitting that you were wrong, so much so, that you'd rather make yourself sound like a fool and be made fun of?

Getting 60 billion would definitely impact the rate of Russian fatalities, but it's like someone giving Japan money after US nuked them, just to keep them fighting a bit longer. Would that increase Russian/American fatalities? Sure, but would it help Japan? Unlikely. I can't believe i have to explain this to you like you're a 6yr old, but here it goes, if something is bad for Russia, that doesn't automatically makes it good for Ukraine, as something bad for Russia can mean something even worse for Ukraine. Now if you don't care for Ukrainian losses and view this strictly from American point of view, than i stand corrected and you are right, finding fools to suicide themselves on your opponent is definitely advantageous.


He should personally go to Ukraine to explain situation to these people:

It is the houses special. I am not sure, but I think DaRude here is trying to make it look like getting 60 billion in aid is a bad thing and will not impact the rate of fatalities in the Ruzzian army? I mean... a 155MM shell is 300 US. 60B of shells would be like... 18 million shells? More than all that has been yet used in the war? A whole 6 year shell production of Ruzzia to their most optimistic stats? This is just to give an idea, not realistic, but... I would not want to be on the other side of this gun.

"" The cost for Excalibur has been estimated at around $100,000 per round, compared to about $3,000 for an unguided 155-mm shell."

Every army uses unarmoured vehicles, the difference is that Ruzzia is using them to send the infantry on assault in open terrain. Just look for the videos, it is just suicidal.


I saw documentary about Americans moving in Afghanistan, they were moving about 20 meters per hour so they traveled 2 months between 2 villages because of
fear of IEDs and mines and civilians...obviously, Russians can't afford such approach and win a war like this

Golfcarts - You are free not to believe what Ruzzia is sending to the front - I would not want to believe it either if I were you - but the golf carts are well documented for anyone who is following the conflict, and is not behind the lines, it is in the frontlines. This along with the "hangar tank" to transport troops and other "inventions" that use meat armour mostly.

But this is nothing compared with the destruction of more expensive vehicles. A said all is well documented and geolocated - you can choose not to look at it, it does not matter.


You asked admin to remove my post previously explaining in detail why you're dumb calling those "golf carts" so I'll be short this time as you'll
probably ask him again, so I'll be short: "You're dumb. All armies in a world use "golf carts""

We doing both. Destroying facilities with long range drones and killing russian units on battlefield.
Our company kills in average 10 orcs and wound 10 more. So like 20 orcs in a day in average. Sometimes more (when they trying to assault) sometimes less.

How come you had to leave Avdeevka then?

No you do not. You are completely missing the point: The US is demilitarising Ruzzia and selling more weapons than ever to everyone. Ukraine is ok with doing the job in exchange for keep being a free independent Ukraine. Ukraine can keep fighting for years. It will take you around couple of years to realize what is happening - like a slowly boiling frog - and even then you will not admit it. It does not matter, is equally real.

Stoltenberg disagrees with you, Russian army is stronger than before war:

But on topic, time in my view is not a big factor for either side compared to the effectiveness of the allied help. If China stops by-passing sanctions or if US cuts all aid to Ukraine has much bigger effect.

Bypassing sanctions? They never imposed sanctions...they're not rooineks colony anymore, stop

Ukraine has been able to hit at least 4 military airfields in Ruzzia. Among the planes damages, strategic bombers and a number of SU planes in Yeysk, Kurst and, believe it or not, Engels airbase! This is a really high level of pain for Ruzzia for continuing the war, while the front is now relatively estable.

If Ukraine manages to keep planes away from the front, Ruzzia may even not been able to take Chasiv Yar ever, as they would need the FAB to remove some of Ukraine's strong points.
A few weeks ago, Ukrainian Air Force speaker Ignat shot down 2-3 Russian planes a day on the Internet, although he was later fired for bullshit. Judging by recent satellite images, everything is ok with military airfields.

Look, there are claims that are difficult to proof and others that are easier to proof. In the case of downing 2 planes a day, it may not be possible to have footage for all of them so I guess you will feel better thinking it did not happen. However, hitting the airbases or refineries it is quite easy to proof, so just wait for the satellite pictures to see the extent if you want, but denying is just silly in this case.





The more the time passes the more it is in favor of Ukraine,Russia has made their economy going to ashes with this unjustified senseless war from more than 2 years now,in fact this is one of the longest ongoing wars that Russia has made,which has a big amount of lost wars except the World War II that they won only because of the stupidity of German Nazi (of course they did the right thing there to stop that genocide it was going on) yet since then Russia has lost every single other war they have taken part in and they are far from being the army that they claim to be,more than 2 years and they have not conquered Ukraine,how can they believe to win against a much more developed nations with much more advanced weaponry,they simply can't and it is in their benefit to stop this war as soon as possible or otherwise if they lose it they have to even payback to Ukraine while they are suffering in their economy really big nowadays.


Russia won wars against Georgia, Chechnya, and USA/ISIS coalition in Syria and kept peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan until
Armenia called USA to help

Regarding nonsense about "time is in favor of Ukraine", lets check what Ukrainians say:

https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-great-risk-front-line-collapse-war-russia/

"“Zaluzhny used to call it ‘the War of One Chance,’” one of the officers said. “By that, he meant weapons systems become redundant very quickly because they’re quickly countered by the Russians. For example, we used Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles [supplied by Britain and France] successfully — but just for a short time. The Russians are always studying. They don’t give us a second chance. And they’re successful in this.”

“Don’t believe the hype about them just throwing troops into the meat grinder to be slaughtered,” he added. “They do that too, of course — maximizing even more the impact of their superior numbers — but they also learn and refine.”"

Well, I do not see how this may stop Ukraine.

A massive missile strike on the ground infrastructure of the largest underground gas storage facility is an absolutely symmetrical Russian response to Ukrainian attacks on refineries. Just like the attack on the DneproGES. And no, this will not stop Ukraine, just as attacks on oil refineries do not stop Russia. Ukraine and the West imposed a war of attrition on Russia, and Russia accepted this challenge.

I would especially like to note the pinpoint accuracy of the strike on the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station. The dam did not suffer any damage, but it will take about a year of restoration work to restore generation to at least 50% of its capacity. Ukraine has become an energy-deficient country and, instead of exporting energy, is now forced to import it.

Be... You would need like 100 missiles to take the dam down. This is not "pinpoint" accuracy, it is basic physics. Ruzzia knows that this would damage floodgates and part of the electrical infrastructure but not because they Psychos in your army would not want to destroy it completely, but just because that is as much as they can do.

You can say strikes are symmetrical, but I have provided figures that proof of asymmetrical the effects are but to put it even easier Ruzzia´s whole economy hangs on the nail of exporting oil, Ukraine does not in having gas facilities. Figures in my previous post show this to anyone willing to see it.

My guess is that Ukraine has not targeted more refineries, terminals and oil storage just because they did not have the native technology to do so, which now they do have and they were possibly on an agreement with US not to rise oil prices, which given the reluctance of MAGAs to fund the war does not longer matter much.

As said, keep some gas in a can, you may need it.


Really? So it was not you who claimed Russian missiles were responsible for destroyed Ukrainian dam 2 years ago?
Even some rooineks media reported it:

I hope that after the recent loss of the DneproGES and Europe’s largest underground gas storage facility, Ukraine will begin to more soberly assess its capabilities in causing economic damage to Russia by attacking refineries. If 15,000 Western sanctions didn't work, why should drone attacks work?

Puppets at the helm don't care, and their masters cheer for destruction of Ukraine and Russia both
16  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: March 22, 2024, 12:31:52 PM
I accept the correction. Not destroyed, just damaged to enough extent to deteriorate or stop the production capacity. Refineries do have a fire brigade of course, but they act after there is a hit, not before.  A bridge is quite difficult to damage to the point that is no longer serviceable, a refinery is a much easier target.

Ruzzia is not able to provide an effective defence - that is clear everywhere, they even got a drone over the Kremlin. The strikes on oil processing facilities and depots are happening well inside Ruzzia. You are free not to believe it of course.
And it's not just random hits, but well prepared attacks because they're targeting most important and most important part of refinery - tower. Destroying such tower stop work of factory for long time. One such tower can cost something like 50-80 million and with western sanctionssuch thing will be very hard to get. It's not like getting microchips or iPhone through parallel import. But offcourse, someone is living in alternative reality and nothing didn't happened there.
Seems that these refineries now need to get their own air defense systems.

Or, according to our resident trolls here, more fire brigades and a shipment of "do not smoke" signs from any of their most trusted allies. I expect to see more of this in the very near future. The Ruzzian Federation is a very large territory, which is great when a Hitler or a Napoleon try to invade it, but not so great when it comes to defend the air space from relatively tiny UAVs that can fly low and follow pretty much any route of their choosing.

Also, it seems that the 155mm shells promised by Czechia are making their way into Ukraine. There is a good chance that Ukraine can balance the front to a greater extent. Next year is going to be quite important, given all the political situation in the US and EUs response to this uncertainty from the historic ally.

Rooineks and Yankees again show that they're here for profit and don't care about Ukraine at all:

It seems Ukraine has a plan after all - hitting Ruzzian refineries with long range, native made drones. This have achieving excellent results in targeting the Oil refineries, some of them well away from the front lines. This is a very costly war for Ruzzia and it is getting worse for them. Some sources have said that Ukraine has managed to at least temporarily 15% of the production, putting at risk the major source of Ruzzian income.

Ah... so whenever Putin invades another country or promotes separatist to generate a proxi-war is the fault of the US - they even send the same mysterious guy and voila!. Putin has no imperialist goals, only cares about what is best for all? Or for the Slave "race" maybe? ... I see, interesting theory.

Let me ask you the same question then, how many Ukrainians would be dying if Putin had not sent the army? Would it be so bad for Ukrainians to join the European Union and start getting a chance at prosperity? What is so wrong with it?

Putin is not there to "free" anyone, it is there to kill whoever gets in the way of his empire. I am not sure what happened to all Georgians, I am certain of the ones that were killed by Putin's vision of the world and what is the place of Ruzzians. Not even of Ruzzians really, more of the Moscovian and Petesbourgian elites.

I am not sure if you believe that Ruzzia still represents somehow any ideals other than Tzarism. They are no longer commies Branko, they are just as capitalist and corrupted as it gets and if you feel they are protecting some idea of pan-Slavism or a type of culture I do not think is the case either. This is just the elites of Ruzzia versus the elites of other countries and, in the middle, the Ukrainians trying to get a decent future for their children.

I have surprise for you...its ALWAYS elites, on all sides. But for some reason Rooineks, Yankees, Russians...all want it to be THEIR elites
At this time, its Rooinek and Yankee elites at Russian doorstep, not the other way around

Sure, if you say so it is so. But you are missing a bit of information there:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Georgian_War

Quote
The 2008 Russo-Georgian War[note 3] was a war between Russia, alongside the Russian-backed self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and Georgia.

What happened there Branko? They did not listen to the "peace plan" consisting on doing what they were told from Moscow?

What happened? Yankee/rooinek puppet was sent to Georgia to incite problems with Russia.
Same guy went to UKRAINE and surprise, surprise, as if troubles followed him there too.

But what happened to Georgians...are they all sent to Gulag, executed...?
Or  were they lucky that Boris Johnson didn't come to "help" with negotiations?

How do we know they would not have been starved to death by the millions like Stalin did for the "greater benefit of Ruzzians"? They way to have kept Ukrainians alive would have been simply not to invade Ukraine.



How many Georgians Russia starved/killed/exiled after Georgia lost war with Russia?

Only rooinek puppet Saakashvili?

How many Georgians can actually say if that happened? I mean, without getting a free flight out of the window? What information is available of what Ruzzia does or does not?

The modus operandi is always the same, Ruzzia governs a region taking but not giving, thus people are mostly impoverish, thus they join the Ruzzian army to make their livign (or die trying) so Ruzzia wages war in another region. I am not surprised Ukraine would rather choose something different, even if it takes blood and sweat to gain their freedom from Putin and the Ruzzians.

The option for Ukraine to "surrender so that you are not killed" does not really exist. It is more an option to be killed later at the service of the Ruzzian empire. The option of "negotiating peace" in Putin's terms does not exist, it is just waiting for the next war when the oil is up and Putin get the army back in shape. All those alternatives are just mirages and false solutions.

Umm, you're aware Georgia is sovereign state, right?
