US and NATO escalation of conflict with Russia is leading to war - PART 2

[greg0205]

The military guys can help here - what are these helicopters getting blown out the sky, attack helicopters, transport helicopters ?

That Mi-24 is a gunship.

 

[Wut]

Ah yes, the Ukrainians shot down one of their own helicopters. Do you know what an observation post is?

You can;
1. Call a comrade
2. Go 50 / 50
3. Ask OUR forum

Where did I say it was one of their own?

Most pics/videos of them don't seem to show any. Not even on videos from Russian sources iirc.

Well most videos you have seen is probably fake.

 

[Dave]

It could be a different year/location of the video?

A time traveller?

I thought it was the CIA with time travel technology?

 

[daveza]

One of each aiui, from those videos.

Helicopters were taken out by basic RPG's back in Vietnam.

Is there any place for them with all the ground-to-air firepower available now ?

 

[Dave]

No, most are cross verified by people or organisations who have been doing this for years on versions conflicts.

The Brits and Yanks made good use of them in Afghanistan, they had different tactics though.

 

[daveza]

If you think about it, most of Russia's greatest military successes have been down to their ability to soak up huge losses owing to manpower and their enemies out stretching their supplies.

They essentially trade lives until their enemy runs out of lives and supplies.

Yeah well the Russian population won't go for that anymore.

 

[thestaggy]

Certainly looking like Russia is defaulting to the "easy" job of levelling towns and cities, to play the psychological war, as they struggle to gain momentum with the conventional attack.

It is what they done in Grozny.

In 1995, the Chechens exacted a terrible toll on Russian attackers in Grozny.

With the 2000 offensive in to Grozny, they first encircled the city and then blasted it in to oblivion.

This could be Kyiv's fate.

What about the influencers ?

What about the influencers ?

They will be able to promote caviar, vodka, furs, cabbage and potatoes on the new Russian internet, I suppose.

It also appears to be a number of Russian trucks , tanks etc without markings. This could be because the initial markings were for planning purposes indicating where they advancing from, now they throwing them into battle.

Cabbage, is that like a delicacy in Russia ?

Or crews removing the markets in the hope of not being targeted by Ukr drones or anti-tank teams.

Soon, it will be

Nah, those little hats are going to be just fine.

It snows in Syria during winter.
