Good morning my numpties.
Thought I'd pop in to see if any of you had come to your senses yet but it looks like the circle-jerk is still going on strong. Do you still believe all the MSM hype that Ukraine is winning and that there will be a massive new offensive and that Bakhmut is not important? Seems hysterical when I look at the last few posts and I see guys posting twitter posts showing museum pieces being moved for displays and then stating that Russia is in trouble because these are headed to Ukraine. Really funny that when you consider that recently there have been echelons of new armor being sent to Ukraine. I don't believe that Russia will be producing 1500 in a year but I do think they will be sending 400 - 500 new tanks as that should be easily doable for them.

Had a good laugh when now the German media is saying that Russia could have blown the NS pipeline using mini-subs and combat divers. The US intelligence is trying really hard to flood with as many plausible stories as possible which is an old trick so people end up not knowing which one is more credible. Sadly for the US it's not working and a lot of questions are currently being asked in Europe by the people in the different countries. Doubt any politicians will do anything but quite a few people, even very technical people around diving matters and underwater explosives have come forward to vouch for Sy Hersh. Will be interesting what will happen but likely nothing since it would be too much egg on the US face and the EU is now so dependent on the US that they can't dare anger their master.

Seems the Ruskies have learnt a little something on consolidating advances as well. Whenever they make a dramatic move forward then they slow down and entrench themselves while they establish supply lines and reinforce those lines. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Just heard the ruskies have a new little land based drone (hedgehog) that is categorized as anti-tank. Need to see if this is real and what it's capabilities are. Like I said, I just heard about it so need to do some digging.

I find it quite interesting how many of the latest Ukraine clips destroying Russian armor all seems to be of stationary vehicles that look remarkedly like they have been abandoned. Also no guarantee that most of the clips we see are actually f who they claim to be. Also quite notable how I don't see any mention of the Ukrainian defeats and the Russian advances. All I see is the usual Ukrainian hopium that has been peddled since day 1.

I doubt this war will last till the end of this year as I don't see Ukraine having much more they can throw at the Ruskies since the Russian intelligence has really stepped up their game and are hitting very strategic targets almost at will these days. All those tanks/planes being sent to Ukraine are likely going to be piloted by international legion operators which would essentially make this a NATO/Russia war. But let's see, maybe Zelensky will decide he is done being the US laundromat and a peace agreement will be signed. I expect Russia will fortify those borders though as no agreement with the west is honoured.

Yip, looks very stationary and very abandoned to me.
 
The Ukrainian military completed training in the management of Challenger 2 tanks in the UK and returned to their homeland, writes The Guardian. In January, London announced its intention to transfer 14 such machines to Kyiv. At the same time, the training of Ukrainian tankers began. Chronicle DW

A large percentage of the drone videos is the destruction of abandoned Russia equipment. Abandoned equipment can still be recovered for later use by Russia but burning equipment not so much.

I should also note that abandoned can be anything from unable to move due to being damaged, stuck in my mud or the crew is drunk underneath a tree.

Of course the fact that Russia had to abandon the equipment is not something he has identified as a problem for Russia, is just indicative of his pro-Russian bias.

It is quite hilarious that he thought that because he thinks that the Ukrainians are only killing abandoned vehicles, is meant as something negative for the Ukrainians.

The fact that all those vehicles are abandoned should be a bigger problem for Russia than outright destroyed in contact. Destroying a tank recovery vehicle is of a higher importance that any tank that is currently not shooting at you.
